Would you get mad if some guy took your picture out in public somewhere?

[OddBeMe]

Yes

No

[SotiCoto]

I'd be annoyed, but not "mad", because there is no reason it would drive me insane... and "mad" clearly doesn't mean what you believe it means.

In any case, as far as I'm concerned all photographs of me are my property, and I jointly own any device photographs of me end up on... so I'm entirely within my rights to smash whatever they used to photograph me.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Like who the hell walks outside their house and thinks "yea, I still have privacy out here"

[OddBeMe]

Very true. I do street photography and have seen others post videos of people freaking out. I think I’m more discreet. Or just really creepy looking.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Lol, that's very cool. I'm probably going to get into a version of street photography very soon for a lifestyle page I'm starting.

[DrPepper12]

I can't blv they think they have privacy anywhere!! people give it away for free from their electronics and cars and smart homes and social media. Privacy is dead.
@OddBeMe. I've seen those Karen's too. They simply understand their "rights" with ZERO corresponding understanding DUTIES of citizenship. They piss me off tbh

[OddBeMe]

@Telekinetic-Potato Its fun! And honestly if you ask most people are cool with having a portrait taken. I spent $10 on a 100 business cards with my tumbler page if people are ever interested. That sets their mind at ease.

I love scrolling through street photographers feed in different cities.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

That’s a really smart idea and a helpful tip! I’ll give it a shot.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

Yes unless I was at some event he was taking pictures for, or he asked me first and I said yes. It's one thing to be in the background of a picture but I don't want to be the main focus of a picture without at least knowing it's going to be taken. That's kinda rude.

[DrPepper12]

Rude but 💯 legal

[OddBeMe]

Cops do have some public safety laws to fall on if some creep is taking pics. Like a pedo at a playground. But generally, if its not a long lens aimed at kids or up skirts its all legal.

[OddBeMe]

@GOLDFISH_smile If some guy took a pic of my wife up close I'd have questions for him.

[dustybiker2]

Random guy? It's legal (depending) so not mad. I would probably say something loud about Princess Diana to shake them though. I've had actual paparazzi double take me before, it made me wonder who they thought I was. lol

[OddBeMe]

and if it were say... secret cameras in the bathroom? Asking for a friend. :)

[dustybiker2]

You might walk out lacking your own ocular focus.

[OddBeMe]

I read that happens so much. I don’t get it. Lol

[dustybiker2]

The toilet cams? More a frat thing I would think.

[dustybiker2]

Red schools if I may be so bold

[OddBeMe]

Creepy old men. Other than me,

[dustybiker2]

Right..

[OddBeMe]

Move the plant to the right a little next time you go in there.

[dustybiker2]

Noted. (Installs laser sighted bean bag launchers)

[OddBeMe]

Ouch. Lol

[dustybiker2]

Yup. Worked the last time (s) too. ✔️

[OddBeMe]

Bean bag into my bean bag.

[dustybiker2]

Oh? I'll leave that in their feedback. They'll sell thousands now. Thanks.

[OddBeMe]

Lol we should have a “pest control” bean bag gun. For all your pesky needs.

[dustybiker2]

I'm in. I have some excellent neighbors for trial and error.

[OddBeMe]

Sweet. And if my wife asks for an advanced prototype, don’t give her one.

[dustybiker2]

•Adding to deals fine print.•

[DrPepper12]

Not only no but in public he has every legal right to do it. I respect ppls rights even if it makes me uncomfortable. Rights aren't feelings.

[OddBeMe]

True but I do see people getting upset sometimes. None at me, I’ve done some street photography. It’s fun. But nothing intrusive.

There are laws protecting “upskirt” shots and alike. Again it’s kinda like porn, cops would need to see the details before arresting someone.

[Sevenpointfive]

i would need to see the details too

[DrPepper12]

@Sevenpointfive yeah lewd and purient photography is still illegal. photography in public really has no legal restrictions other than good manners

[OddBeMe]

@DrPepper12 Like porn its subjective, but cops know when they see it.

[Anonymous]

Mad's not really the word I'd use. Majorly creeped out.

[OddBeMe]

You wouldn’t talk to him about it?

[Iron_Man]

What’s the purpose of that unless he's reporting good news

[OddBeMe]

Shrug. People are weird. I’ve seen some guys take pics outdoors of hot chicks and they rightly freak out and embarrass them enough to delete the pics. Even tho technically they can do it. As long as it’s not invasive. There are anti upskirt shots and likewise….

[msc545]

No. It has happened more than once. Don't mind, and don't care.

[OddBeMe]

Why did you yell at me to get out of your stall then?

[msc545]

What?

[OddBeMe]

just kidding

[DryGermanGuy]

Yes I would, and I am glad it's against the law in my country. Even in public, here you have a right to privacy. Frauditors should stay an American thing for all I care.

[OddBeMe]

So if I were a tourist - and I have been- and I took a picture of the Reichstag as you crossed in front I’d be in trouble?

[DryGermanGuy]

As with all law-related things, it depends! 😉
Persons that are unidentifiable (taking a concert crowd from behind) or irrelevant to the picture‘s subject (people in small scale left and right in the corners), are fine. The main legal trouble comes not from photographing, but from publishing! There have been many interesting court cases over the years.

[OddBeMe]

Irrelevant to the pic seems quite arguable and overly litigious. I believe Germans have that law. Lol

[Redstang88]

Someone wants a picture of my ugly mug, I don’t give a shit

[Juxtapose]

No, you have no expectation of privacy out in public.
