Where can't I take pictures?

Places where photographs are not allowed can be roughly divided into the following categories.

Where photography is prohibited by law.

In the customs and airport restricted areas of most countries and regions in the world, it is strictly forbidden to break into and take pictures at will.

In addition to customs and airport restricted areas, many countries also include power stations, bridges, dams, ports, public transport hubs and other places that were not restricted before, so it is best to know clearly in advance.

Other places where filming is prohibited due to national security include: military defense facilities and military restricted areas; Jurisdiction of the national air force; Infrastructure controlled by the national communications department; All power facilities, gas facilities, railways, highways, waterways and others prohibited by the national security department.

Common places where you can't take pictures while traveling.

Religion, cultural relics, museums and business districts are also common "forbidden areas" for shooting.

Whether at home or abroad, religious issues are quite serious and cautious. Tourists should have enough respect for all kinds of temples, and they must not shoot at will in religious areas where shooting is not allowed, let alone sneak shots with luck.

In addition, some cultural relics are forbidden to take pictures. For the purpose of cultural relics protection, flashlights, especially xenon flashlights or high-brightness flashlights, are very destructive to cultural relics. Some exhibits or cultural relics are private collections, and some museums are the crystallization of the wisdom designed by the staff themselves. Once photographed, it is easy to cause intellectual property disputes.

From the point of view of safety, once someone has completely photographed the orientation, structure, access and security of the exhibition hall, it is easy to indirectly provide convenient conditions for criminals to commit crimes.

Some private property is forbidden to shoot.

Legally speaking, individuals cannot restrain others from taking photos of their private property in public places, but they can restrict others from taking photos after entering their private territory, especially some private museums or exhibitions. Even if these exhibits or places are open to the public, their owners still have the right to prohibit or expel tourists or photographers who take pictures at any time.
