Is it illegal to take a picture of someone at school without consent?
It is not illegal regarding state and city laws.The school may have a policy to addresses media publication. So it is this policy that could be violated and punishment at the school level would be levied. Some rules are vague to allow judges and attorneys to invoke or determine. So maybe privacy of students, etcI was a photographer and a school police officer (at different times of my life). I was put on a case where a student took pictures of a ambulance medics treating a student patient. The paramedic asked the photographer of the university paper to move back 2–3 x. They made a complaint because it ‘was interfering with the medical procedures of the staff’. It is a rule that be used but with my photo journalism experience I felt it was an exaggeration.
Can someone take a picture of me, while at school, without my consent and post it on social media, with malicious intent?
I mean they CAN do anything they want, however, they definitely shouldn't. If you are having this sort of problem I reccomend speaking with a counselor or other trusted adult such as a teacher to figure out how you can get the photos removed from their social media, but also to ensure they do not take any more photos of you. If you don't feel confortable asking an adult, soak with the student directly and ask them to quit.
Can someone take a picture of me without my consent at school?
Can someone take a picture of me without my consent at school?Generally yes*Consent for taking pictures is based on property ownership.On public property, anyone can take a picture of anyone without permission.On owned property, anyone can take a picture with the property owners permission.Your consent is irreverent unless it is on property you own.*There are some exceptions for commercial use (they may need your permission to sell the pictures) and there are prohibitions against nude images of under age people. There may be other exceptions and prohibitions as well, but in general taking pictures for personal use requires only the consent of the property owner where the picture was taken.
What if someone took my pictures without consent?
What if someone took my pictures without consent?Depends on the situation.In most public situations, no, you have no rights to privacy if you are viewable to the public.On private property it requires consent of the property owner, not you (unless you also own the property). Which is why you will see warning stickers if a location has things like security cameras that are recording your image.In your own home, on your own property, this still depends. If the person taking the photo is on public property (in the street or on the sidewalk), what they are doing is legal. You were in view of the public.What they can’t (legally) do is enter your property or physically breach (damage) a part of your property to force you to be in view of the public.Basically no one can legally force their way into being able to take your picture if you are on private property and actively attempting to be hidden from public view.But if you have allowed yourself to be in view from a public location, or on property where the property owner allows pictures to be taken, you have already given up your right to privacy as it relates to pictures.So, more details would need to be known before being able to give any specific response.There are separate laws regarding audio recordings (which is why most security cameras do not record sound), and audio recordings are a much more varied set of laws that are very localized to each state/county.There are also separate laws regarding children, with additional regulations over nudity. If the question was being asked in regards to a child, they have far more protection under the law with much stiffer penalties for violations.
If someone takes picture of me without my consent, what should I do?
Tell them they’re creepy and ask them to treat others with basic respect. Human beings have souls and feelings. We matter. We aren’t just props for people to take photos of to send to their loser friends.I’m so sick of how common it is for people to take photos of others without their consent. You wouldn’t walk up to a stranger and take a deep, loud sniff of their hair and start to moan or some other creepy, legal thing. Why do so many people think taking photos without consent should be allowed when it is a photo OF the person instead of a photo in which the person just happens to exist? (A photo of a person’s tits vs. a person who happens to be in your photo of the Eiffel Tower.)I was waiting for the train today and caught a woman taking a photo of a person without his consent. I confronted her about it and she just told me to “mind my own business” and started to insult me. Ironic, right? She wasn’t minding her own business by photographing someone without his consent. (She was really ugly and was wearing dark sunglasses in a dark train station so maybe she was just bitter and hung over? lol Some people should be forced to take remedial courses in manners lol.)I’m so tired of people going “it’s legal, so it’s okay!” Lots of bad things are legal, but that doesn’t make them acceptable or normal. Think of all the big pharma companies that make their life-saving medications so expensive that people are literally dying because they cannot afford their meds. Is that legal? Unfortunately, yes. Is it ethical? Heck no!
If someone takes a cellphone picture of me without my consent, how can I make sure that they've deleted it?
This may come as a surprise, but you have no control over what they do with that photo in most situations. This is true in pretty much all of Europe, Asia and the Americas.There are some limits, fortunately. If they took the photo where you have an expectation of privacy, like while using the toilet, they may be running afoul of local laws (e.g. US state laws often cover this; also illegal in UK and Japan, and surely other places). Same for spy photos of intimate situations in a bedroom, if you know what I mean. Shooting these and then sexting it is illegal in most states in the US.Also, laws in most countries prevent them from using your likeness for promoting a business or product without your permission. This is called the Personality Rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per...). Again, this exists in one form or another internationally.Further, you could have forbidden photography while on your premises. Many dance clubs and other venues post signs forbidding photography, for example. Or you may have told the person verbally. Either way, this makes "no photography" a condition for entry and violating this means that the person is now trespassing. Your house, your rules.But unless they agree to delete the photo(s) as a condition for remaining on the premises, all you can do is kick them out; maybe with the help of the police. You have no rights to force any photographer to delete a photo. Ever.When you are in a public place and people can see you, you have no rights to tell them not to look. Same with photography; you can't compel them to not shoot photos. You can cover yourself up, which solves both I guess, but that is your choice, you can't dictate how others act in public.
Guy took picture of me without my consent?
This guy I was kind of seeing was on skype with me one day and he told me take my top off as a joke i did but covered everything with my hair just to screw with him. Well today he said some mean things and I told him off and said hes not worth it anymore. He then wrote that don't worry all the screen shot pictures from skype is safe and sound in his email (I have screen shots of this text message for proof). I'm 18 so it can't be child porn, but still I did not give him my consent to take pictures of me like that AND keeping it. I truly don't know if hes going to be a jerk and post them somewhere. My face is in the pictures I'm guessing so yeah people will know its me. This guy has already broken my heart and just used me. Please people what can I do??? Thanks... :/
Can someone sell a picture of me without permission?!?
It depends. If it's not an artistic work, and it is being sold for the purposes of commerce, and you are recognizable within the photo, then no. They need your permission. If it's just a print that's for sale, and the photographer didn't breach your right to privacy when the photo was taken, then it can be sold without your permission (the sale of artistic works are excepted under such law.) If it's part of a product - like say, on a greeting card, as part of a calendar, as part of packaging for some item, in an advertisement, etc. Then, they need your permission. As for the person who asked about people in the crowd at sporting events: When you enter such an event you do so knowing that you may be filmed and your likeness broadcast/sold/etc. Thus, you willfully waive your rights to any compensation by entering the venue. ***EDIT*** It doesn't really matter if it's the actual photographer that's selling it or not. Let's say the photog took the picture, and sold a print to someone (he's allowed - artistic work) the person who bought the print is within their rights to re-sell the print they purchased. Are you sure you didn't sign a release when the photo was taken? A release may have been part of any contract you signed to play the concert - the contract may have contained a clause that said something along the lines of: "Artist waives any rights to any photos taken within the venue on such and such a day, yadda, yadda, yadda."
I took a picture of my teacher without her consent. However is it legal for them to force me to delete the photo?
Laws differ by country, but in general, in most Western democracies schools are not considered public places, therefore you can’t take photos without permission of the school authorities. It’s really as simple as that. Their rules!Also in general, you can’t take photos on private property without the permission of the people in charge. You may be able to take photos of something happening on private property, as long as you are not on the private property itself.If your teacher was in a public place, outside the grounds of the school, then you could take pictures legally without your teachers permission. However some countries have laws against actively stalking people to take photos of them, harassment, or using photography to spy on people in their own homes/gardens where they have a right to privacy.
