Umm, what if I take photos in a public place with you in them and the laws of the country allow public photography? or posting images which are public record such as mugshots/booking photos? (not that I agree with them being public record anyhow, morally I'd agree with you but it would be perfectly legal to do so)
- gsich 6y agoDepends. Public in the sense you want to photograph some monument/building? Then no problem. Photographing in public for the sole purpose of taking a photo from you? No.
- kabdib 6y agoIn the US, if you're in a public place you have no expectation of privacy. Someone can take your photo and do whatever they like with it. (This also goes for photos of "private property" that is visible from a public location, which often comes as a surprise to security guards and law enforcement).
- skrause 6y ago> Umm, what if I take photos in a public place with you in them and the laws of the country allow public photography? Here in Germany you are allowed to take photos in public, but you may not publish them in all circumstances. If a person is somewhere in the background it's fine. Also if it's a person of public interest. But you can not just follow anyone in public, take photos of them specificially and publish them. You may be required to take them down. Personality rights exist even in public. > or posting images which are public record such as mugshots/booking photos? In Germany (and many other countries) mugshots are not public records.
