Surrey - Central City - Photographers Rights

When were we taking pictures of this magnificent building , security guard showed up and told us that :

“They don't want you to take pictures”

I asked : " Why ? "

- " Because you are private properties and don't have a permission "

I asked : " Where the “private” property ends " and I moved tripod 3'.

Than she told us that we were still under the camera surveillance .

I asked “ Why do you film me – I didn't sign permission "

She just walked away.

 

So in my opinion – I take images of the building ( that was build with heavy government involvement ) and they take pictures of me – so the both parties are not happy but I think that is even trade. By the way – this image was taken from the “public” side.

Because of this incident I looked more into Photographers Rights here are couple of links that are applicable to Canada
