Absolutely right. It isn't illegal as long as photos are not deemed to be indecent and they have no legal rights to stop me or have me delete it. The only thing is if its private property where you can be asked to stop taking pictures and be removed as a trespasser! In schools, this is the way they can also legally enforce a ban on photos being taken. Anyway, it wasn't worth me kicking off as it could have caused problems. Its such a shame there is no common sense exercised in such situations and everyone, including my 35-year-old wife is a paedo unless proven innocent.
In schools, parents aren't allowed to film or take photos at school events without parents signing to say they give permission, or something similar. It all seems very complex and the usual case of taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
There is no law against photographing children in public, although there is a moral panic about safeguarding.
