The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida is freedom's watchdog, working daily in the courts, legislatures and communities to defend individual rights and personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Taking photographs of things and events that are plainly visible from public spaces is a constitutional right. This is true for both citizen photographers and journalists.

Our new pamphlet "Photographers: Know Your Rights" has the answers to these and other questions about public photography in Florida. Read the guide to find out more.
