Can you really get arrested for using other people's pictures online?

As far as I'm aware, there's no law on the books in the United States for that kind of thing.. the only picture issues you might have are generally copywrite infringment

It is your body and you are allowed to pose nude. Still all in all I would be very careful. Too often any picture taken (art video pic whatever) is getting on the Internet. I mean every picture. Even though you think it is innocent I can give you 100 scenarios how it can get out of hand.

You shouldn't post someone else's photo without their permission. They could object and get you kicked off the site.\nIf you link it to a derogatory comment you're in deep trouble, you could find yourself in court and having to pay compensation ~(can't remember if its slander or libel but a recent case won the victim $10,000).\nAs for an avatar, its probably safest to cover your back and ask your date for permission in writing. You might also like to tell your dates that you'll be grading them in public, and again get written permission.

Legally, yes. However, he would need a signed model release to use the photos for any commercial (non-journalistic)venture.\n\n(Decency, however, would dicate that he/she ask for permission. If you are concerned, simply confront him/her. A photographer may have simply found the scene very artistic (kids having fun are a joy to photograph) and decided to take a few shots. If you talk to him/her, chances are that he/she would even share some of the resulting shots with you.)

If someone breaks the law they can be arrested.  If they haven't broke the law a fake charge can always be made up to arrest them.\n\nCoach

Why can't you report it?  Anyway, you can follow a person (granted they don't have a restraining order against you), anywhere as long as it is on public or pseudo-public land (the public street system, for example, is public.  The shopping mall is pseudo-public, because it is a private building which serves the public interest).  You cannot follow them in a way that requires you going onto private land or property.  As for picture taking, if you are specifically taking a picture of an actual crime in progress, then that can be used as evidence and is no more illegal thank taking a mental 'picture' when you see a robery taking place.  Picture taking of anything else would be a touchy matter and should be avoided.  Rule of thumb: if a casual glance cannot detect illegality or suspicious behavior in a photo, then the photo should not be taken.  However, you should avoid such activites at all costs.  Depending on the nature of the crimes you are investigating, you may be placing yourself (and the public) in serious danger.  I would recommend that you consult with the police on this issue if there is even the slightest chance of violence.

don't worry about it...my profile picture is an image from the cover of a book....they are more concerned, i think..with things obtained illigally...besides...if there is a problerm you will be warned that the image has to be removed and if you don't remove it THEN they will tell you your account will be removed if the image remains...or so I have been told by someone that HAD an illegally obtained image (he took it from a movie screen in a theater the day the film opened)

Yes, because the girl is still a minor and even with consent of having the picture taken he could face probation. Usually thosecases don't go that far. The female usually denies ever posing for a picture like that, but there are a few cases where the males got charged for possession of pornographic images of a minor, even though the pictures were given as gifts, and/or pranks. The few cases where the males had them but was showing them off, they also got longer probation periods. The cases where the images were gifts they usually had them images confiscated and did community service, paid fines, and had probation. The rare cases that it didn't matter how the images were obtained they got sentences, usually only about three-six months, and then probation.\nIn some cases the girls also got probation and also was order clinical evaluation.

Of course not. What would you gain from telling that would be worth the risking your life for? Just take a picture and post it on the internet anonymously. ;)

Its not like if you go to a site with them you get arrested. You would have to go through many steps to download it, and even then you would still have to actually file share. I think you're safe.

Um, your question seems a bit incomplete. \n\nAre you refering to nude pictures? Well, that's obvious, lecivious conduct.\n\nHow about taking pictures of other children against the parents permission, that is exploitation, and against the law.\n\nYour question leaves quite a bit to be decifered.

yes. I could better answer your question if you posted a link to said pictures... just kidding\n\nhow old were you when the pictures were taken? if you were under age you could get him in some big trouble.\n\nfind a lawyer.

Yes, it would be very easy to make a case for violation of copyright for you using someone else's picture without permission. Quite a few people won't pursue it, but it is an option.\nThe best way is to email the webmaster (or copyright holder) for permission to use it; if you get the permission save the picture to your own server (so you aren't stealing their bandwidth), and then link using the img tag. To give proper credit, you should probably include a copyright statement, either as a caption near the picture, or in the title attribute of the img tag, like...\n<img src="pic.jpg" title="Copyright © (date), (copyright holder's name and website), Used with permission">

Usually a sexual offense.  Have you been arrested for taking advantage of people?

No they have to check your account of the incident and it would be very unlikely if they arrested the guy on the same day if at all
