You can take a picture of a public street with people using public property and publish it publicly even with all the heads showing.

Police reports are public record all you have to do is ask.\n\nPhotos and other physcial evidence are seldom keep more than a year or so, if a case is not going to trial and there is no need for it.  \n\nActually most departments would not even take photos, pleasse understand it does not happen in real life in most small town America like you see on those CSI shows on tv

Yes it is legal. That happened in Smiths Station, a suburb (and in a different COUNTY) of Phenix City.

Put it this way, if you did not release your image to be published by anyone, you can sue them.  If you ever DID sign a release to a photographer, it may be then that you released the image to whomever the photog wanted to sell it to.  The rare exception would be in a fair use situation, such as a street scene publised in conjunction with a newspaper story.

No it is not legal, and its trespassing.\n\nSo, you are in for a heafty battle. There are privacy rights, and your land lord can be liable if he is in on it.\n\nGood luck. DO you have hard evidence of this? you will need concrete. LIke pictures... Make sure you have them..

No law on pay phones except that if there is a payphone it must be able to dial an emergency number for free. If you are in a public building, the owners (or employees) must let you use a phone in an emergency situation.

What you have described is just plain wrong and you have every right to be concerned.  I thought it was illegal to take photos without permission.  Sorry but I would have to confront the sick arsehole and if he continued I would brick his windows - anything to let him know that he's not wanted in the area x

i really do not think those pictures will matter because there will be a chance the judge or magistrate will think they were fooled around with so no luck there.... If this is your first offense you are prolly looking at a fine plus court costs and maybe some community service no sweat pay your fines and do the service...

You are allowed to take photographs in a public place.  \n\nUnder the law it is called an EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY.\n\nThere is no expectation of privacy in a public mall, however, the owners of the mall have a right to refuse letting you take photos there because the mall is private property.  You are on their property, even though it is open to the public.\n\nIf you were in a public park or  on a sidewalk, there is no expectation of privacy and you could take photos of anything you wanted, but anyone who can be identified in a photo would have to sign a release granting you permission to use the photo if you were going to make money from it.  However, if you are on a public sidewalk, you could not take photos of someone through their window.  You could however take photos of someone in their back yard if you were standing on the sidewalk.  There are many good books on this subject and if you are interested in photography you should check some books out of the library to find out what your legal rights are under various situations.

If you believe it is illegal then report it to the police and they can investigate the matter for you.\n\n///

Well.. someone quietly photographed me while i was sleeping sitting upright on my desk (with my hands on the keyboard) and and then posted it on the group wiki. Damn those mobile phone cameras.

Excuse me, how will you download the Avatar?\nYou can download the Image. If you edit then , I don't think it will be illegal unless you use it for commercial purpose.

Most London boroughs take a photo of the vehicle "in situ", showing the position of the vehicle and also the road markings/signs. Once the picture is taken it is then sent electronically for processing, the parking attendant has no access to it, so for him to falsify the photo would be impossible. \n\nUnless your photographic evidence was taken when you returned to your car, with the vehicle shown in the same position as it is shown in the borough's photographs then your evidence is likely to be rejected on the grounds that there is no continuity to the alleged offence. \nYou should be able to view all the pictures online if you provide the reference from your penalty charge notice. One of these pictures will definately show the positioning of your vehicle, even if the one's attached to your appeal didn't.\n\nIf you prove the ticket is invalid, can I ask what you are actually going to prosecute for???? A penalty notice issued in error is hardly in the public interest to proceed with and I doubt anyone will actually hear your case.

While it shouldn't be illegal really, I mean it is YOUR yard if someone manages to take a picture and turn it into police you could get arrested for "indecent exposure" but really I don't think you have to worry about that.  Plus who's more disgusting, you peeing in your yard or the person taking the picture of you peeing? =)
