The Silver Spring Penguin

Management for the Downtown Silver Spring shopping area spelled out its current policy on photography.

The policy, distributed Monday night to members of the Silver Spring citizens advisory board, reads:

“We welcome photography, videography and other filming at our center. We permit all of these activities, as long as our patrons and tenants are neither harassed nor photographed or filmed over their objection.

“Also, any activity which would interfere with pedestrian or vehicular movement requires advance management approval.

“We continue to encourage patrons to report inappropriate behavior to police and security personnel. We reserve the right to modify this and other policies.”

Reps for Peterson Management, which runs the shopping center, told the advisory board that it would review its other privacy policies.
