First, I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, and this applies to the U.S. Don't know about other countries.

I don't think so, at least not in all circumstances. If there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, you're right. But in a situation where there is no such expectation, such as a public street or such, anyone can take your picture.

From a legal advice website:

https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/s...es-and-privacy


The site is discussing cell phone cameras and such, but the principle would extend to any sort of camera, I would think.

The gals were anchored in a public beach, no expectation of privacy. So while the guys were rude, crude and a number of other descriptive terms, they were within their rights, at least under US law.

If you don't want anyone to see you in the altogether, don't be in the altogether in public.

Exactly. They were out in a public spot, so their 'expectation of privacy' is null.. And why i agree what those guys did was Pervy, it was not illegal..

Technology is also providing a safe space for stupid people.

There was an ad on TV a week or two ago for a car and this girl and her friend were walking across the road (never mind that they were J walking) in the ad and not at a crossing but anyway they were crossing the road wearing headphones and probably couldn't hear the car coming along.

OK the ad was for a car that has a feature that stops the car if it senses something in front of the car like say stupid people J walking......

See technology giving stupid people a safe space.

This is where it pays to read the small print at the bottom of the screen, those systems only work at low speeds, something like under 20mph.

Wait. 5 years out, some Darwin award winner's heirs will sue the car company because the winner was walking around in a public street, numb to the world.
