Top posting: yes, *sensitive* spots, not spots of

*national security*. The police take an active interest wherever money can
be sniffed, not only where the government may or may not have an interest.
In the former kind of places, one can very often discern an extra-legal aura
of security, such as the disgraceful scene some months back when a motorist
traveling south (Mumbaikars will know what I mean) on Peddar Road was
harassed for taking a picture or two of Antillia from across the road.
Picture taking there is totally and completely a legal act, of course, but
harassment by police is not always worth going to court about. In that case,
the media took an interest, which can be better than going to court
sometimes. The trouble is that Wikipedians cannot always expect to be able
to raise a media fuss, or to expect sympathy or empathy expressed in the
media. But I must say that the media is taking a lot more of a positive and
encouraging view of Wikimedian activities nowadays (a kudos to
you-know-who).

The Doll's Museum in New Delhi used to prohibit photography!
There are lot of places including museums and temples globally which
prohibit photography or require special permissions. The issue is
prohibiting when there is no clear prior notice.
