Sacramento Municipal Code Ch. 5.128 Street Photographers

No person shall engage in the business of sidewalk or street photography until the person shall submit satisfactory evidence to the chief of police of his or her ability to respond in damages to the extent of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) in damages or loss to one or more persons incurred or suffered by reason of the conduct or operation of such business by the applicant. Satisfactory proof of such ability shall be considered complied with when the applicant presents a certificate from an insurance carrier, duly authorized to do business within this state, that it has issued to or for the benefit of the person named therein a public liability policy in lawful form within the limits above-mentioned, covering such persons for damages arising out of the operation and conduct of such business upon the streets of the city and that the policy shall be written in favor of the city and all persons who might suffer or sustain any damage arising out of such operation, and that the same shall remain in full force and effect during the continuance of the license. (Prior code § 26.01.044)

A person engaged in the business of sidewalk or street photography may employ additional operators not to exceed four in number on any one license who may, while engaged in such business, select and photograph persons as they approach the operator; provided, that such operator shall not engage the subject in conversation nor stop him longer than is necessary to hand out a card or coupon showing the address of the place where the picture may be obtained and the price for the same. No charge shall be made for observing any proof. Coupons not taken by persons whose pictures have been taken shall be recovered and not allowed to remain deposited on the streets. (Prior code § 26.01.045)
