Is taking a picture of someone kidnapping?

  Curious choice of example. I know what you mean of course, but the point is words shift meaning. For a counter-example connected to your choice, I was recently made aware of the Latin word for "to abduct", and how that word may well be why it took so long for spousal abuse to become recognised as an offence — to paraphrase your own question to demonstrate how this goes very wrong, how can you "abduct" someone you live with?
