We were shooting some still photos at Papago Park and
stopped by the Park Ranger.
He told us it was illegal for us to shoot photos in the park
and that we had to get a permit and pay a $100 fee before
we could take any photos in a city park.
He ordered us to stop shooting photos until we got a permit.
I am trying to get a copy of the city of Phoenix law or
ordinance that defines the requirements for shooting
still photos in Phoenix parks.
I was told by one person that the law is city code G-1403.
That is incorrect. I looked up G-1403 on the city of Phoenix
web site and it doesn't say one word about the requirements
for shooting still photos in city parks.
G-1403 defines the rules and requirements for shooting
movies and videos in city parks but does not address
the requirements for shooting still photos.
Can you point me to the city law that defines the rules
for shooting still photos in city parks?
Last I am a bit confused about what the definition of
commercial photos are.
The park ranger who told us we were not allowed to
shot photos didn't say a word about it applying only
to people shooting "commercial photos". He just ordered
us to stop shooting photos period.
From other people I have talked to and from your web site
it seems like the law says a permit is only required for
people who are shooting "commercial photos".
Can you also point me to the city of Phoenix code that
defines exactly what "commercial photos" are so I can
read it and decide if we meet that criteria and are required
to get the permit?
If this isn't your area of expertise can you pleas pass this
email on to someone who can help me?
Thanks
