LOL Over here in the USA, you can take pictures in public places. You can even take pictures of private residences if you are standing on public land but you aren't allowed to use a high powered telephoto lens. There is no such thing as privacy on a PUBLIC beach here. When in public people should dress in a manner that doesn’t embarrass them. LOL Over here in the USA, you can take pictures in public places.

I wish they'd implement that here at the beaches! lol. Although, as someone above commented, they'd have no way of enforcing that one here.

They roam the beach to patrol because there really are guys who come to the beach not for the intention to swim but to ogle at women. You know, those men (mostly laborers) who come here to work and have not seen or touched their wives for years... This incident however do not prevent me from living here - it's just a minor one compared to the good reasons we enjoy living here. It's safe, gun-free, porn-free, lots of sunshine, lovely weather (except for about 3 months in the summer, multicultural, and many more. Believe me, many American expats don't want to go back to the US after living here for a few years! Hi Krista,

I can see that you would be scared, but what right does some rude man (with no shirt on) have to be harassing you about a rule that many people don't follow? Seems to me he was just being an arrogant man. If he were actually in a uniform I would be more likely to listen to him. And it's not as if you couldn't just show them the pictures you had taken to prove you weren't taking "illegal" photos. Yet another reason my husband will never be able to convince me to live over there. <abbr><em>Kristas last blog post..<a href="http://www.welcometomarriedlife.com/2009/02/imaginary-trip.html">An Imaginary Trip</a></abbr></em> Wow crazy.

I am not one to take pictures of people I don't know, but who knows how many guys go to beaches with the intent of taking pictures of women? I often wonder how many photos I am in that I don't know about. That is actually a great rule, but one that could no be enforced over here.
