About "Illegal" Photos - please read the rules

First of all, "Illegal" is a misnomer. Illegal photographs are not allowed on Flickr, and even if they were, we don't want them. What we mean by "illegal" is that you took a picture somewhere where cameras weren't allowed (and, preferably, you didn't know about it). We are not encouraging you to disregard rules, of course; it's just interesting to see what kinds of things people don't want you to take pictures of. These pictures can be really random - I once got cornered for taking pictures of floor tiles in a mall. I'm into the open-source/fair use/etc. stuff, so these kinds of limits on freedom of expression irritate me. If you feel the same way, or just have an "illegal" picture you want to share, this group is for you! Good luck!

*RULES: Photos must be taken in a place where: a) Cameras/photography were not allowed, b) YOU were not allowed, or c) There is something else "illegal" about your photo. For example, a picture with flash where flash photography was forbidden... Preferably if you didn't know about the rule. No explicit content (just common sense). Be nice. But stand up for your rights.

It would be helpful to us if you put somewhere in the description why the photo is "illegal" if it is not obvious otherwise. Also, the group is more fun if you invite your friends! Spread the word! :)
