Photographing in public places in Saudi Arabia will be allowed except in some prohibited areas. The decision will be implemented after 10 months. Crossroads Arabia thinks this is "a major break into a different way of thinking, getting beyond "prohibit what we"re uncomfortable with" thinking." In addition to the ban on taking pictures of military and strategic industrial areas, he suspects that pictures of mosques will be permitted. "As for palaces? Probably "No" for senior princes" palaces," he added.
Actually, it is not just the regulations that bans taking pictures in the country, but also the popular culture. For example, I take my camera with me to almost everywhere, but I make sure that no one notices that because I don't want to get in troubles. However, based on what happened to a friend last week, I hope this is changing.
The funny part comes when SCT talks about how to deal with those who violate the new regulations. The "action will be limited to confiscation of films," the secretary-general of the SCT said. So, what about digital cameras? Well, I think we should wait for ten years before we hear about updating the regulations to include those. # »
