What can ‘Security’ do if you are taking photos when THEY don’t think you should?
Be stopped many times taking photos in a public place. But even say in a shopping mall what can they do? Can they take the camera, arrest you etc. I stop when asked as I can always go back some other time. I plan to carry a recorder in future so if the situation gets out of hand and they assalt me I will have evidence. I take photos of shops and artwork avoiding people were I can. I need to know what powers these ‘security’ people have. The police in general leave me alone

You are allowed to take photographs in a public place.
Under the law it is called an EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY.
There is no expectation of privacy in a public mall, however, the owners of the mall have a right to refuse letting you take photos there because the mall is private property. You are on their property, even though it is open to the public.
If you were in a public park or on a sidewalk, there is no expectation of privacy and you could take photos of anything you wanted, but anyone who can be identified in a photo would have to sign a release granting you permission to use the photo if you were going to make money from it. However, if you are on a public sidewalk, you could not take photos of someone through their window. You could however take photos of someone in their back yard if you were standing on the sidewalk. There are many good books on this subject and if you are interested in photography you should check some books out of the library to find out what your legal rights are under various situations.
