You mean on the sidewalk on the outside of the building?

I just ask "is this a military base?"

The answer so far has been no"
And then I say "well if this is not a military base then I'm allowed to
photograph." dang nam it!

I should have put "private property" in there but I'm talking about when
you're outside like on a sidewalk.

And I think this is most about every country. Even the so called not free
world.

With the exception of course of France. Where things are often done
differently.
