We wachten vol spanning af
Misschien kunnen mensen zich in de tussentijd houden aan het verzoek van dat "hobbyklubje", die mijns inziens geen enkele reden hebben om dit uit hun duim te zuigen.....
Hier nog één! En nog éénmaal (om het af te leren): de EWAS regels/afspraken zijn hun goed recht maar hebben geen! toepasbaarheid/waarde op ons Scramble forum. Iedereen staat vrij zijn/haar foto's op het Scramble forum te plaatsen, wij hebben geen restricties of belemmeringen.patrick dirksen wrote:We wachten vol spanning af

I had to look up this rule for someone and now found this on the MinDef's site. So I can't blame the NOS anymorePH-BRAD wrote:Another example that you shouldn't always trust the media (http://nos.nl/artikel/510545-verbod-op- ... wijnt.html)Einstein wrote:

Article 430 Wetboek van Strafrecht (Penal Code) states the following: Hij die zonder verlof van het bevoegd gezag een opneming doet, een tekening of beschrijving maakt van enig militair werk, of die openbaar maakt, wordt gestraft met hechtenis van ten hoogste twee maanden of geldboete van de derde categorie. In English: He who makes a sketch or description of any military object, or makes that public, without permission of the autorities, will be punished either by being taken into custody for a maximum of two months or a fine of the third category. The aforementioned sketch or description includes taking photographs.
What a military object is, has been defined by the Hoge Raad (Supreme Court): military locations and fortifications. Military vehicles, ships, airplanes and weapons do not qualify as military objects, according to the Supreme Court. So therefore it is allowed to take pictures of a military airplane in the sky, or a tank on the road for example. However, once such a vehicle is on a military object, such as an air base, the article DOES apply, because you can't photograph the vehicle without automatically taking a picture of the surrounding area. The Supreme Court has ruled that the photography of military objects from the public road qualifies as an offense under article 430 Sr.
Now, the funny thing is that there also used to be a prohibition on aerial photography in the Netherlands in general. Without permission from the authorities it was not allowed to take aerial photographs of anything. Not even your own house. That ban has been lifted in 2013. And because in these days it is possible to create (and sell) satellite imagery of everything, including military objects, the Ministry of Defense has given a general permission beforehand for taking aerial pictures of military objects. So that is no longer punishable by law.
So: aerial photography = good, pictures from the same object on the ground = bad.
Whether or not the rules are enforced is a different matter of course.

And indeed if whether or not the rules are enforced is indeed a different matter thank you!
