[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 183104, member: 9521"] While I agree with your belief that you should not be allowed to take photos of little kids, the law is very clear on this. You can take as many photos of little kids in a public area as you want because such activity is legal. Whether or not this is "right" or "wrong" is clearly a philosophical question that is beyond our current set of laws. However, whenever you can be seen from a public place, whether it's at a park or in your front room, you can be legally photographed. As for my example of the man in the window, the answer is no. He would be arrested because just like the woman taking photos of people in their houses, the man at the window is considered to be "in public" because he can be seen from a public place and thus cannot be protected by a claim he was doing this activity in the privacy of his own home. Unfortunately, the knife cuts both ways. [/QUOTE]
