Ich..."Noooo! They might see me robbing a store or having a ciggie!!!"

If you're doing it on the street, it's not f*cking private now is it?

 

[Chronictank]

Actually its more having an image of yourself or your property being taken and published without your permission, it is not regarded as "in the public interest" so i doubt the laws and regulations governing the press apply

However i don't see why they dont just grey the faces out

Yeah i guess the press-laws don't apply. Also wouldn't on that basis, example, all music festival crowd shots be illegal too?

Blurring out people would work, but that would take hell of a lot of manhours to go through them all.

As soon as i see one of these cars, i'm getting by ballbag out. That's that.

festival press shots are public domain the same as a news crew say filming down your street for a story. Also consider the implications of literally 1000's of liscence plates with car makes and colours being available to would-be counterfitters

Meant non-press photos.

Like, you take a picture of your friend at a festival and get slapped by a "privacy infringement lawsuit" by some dude pissing in the background when you post it on a forum.

I wouldn't worry about it too much in the UK. They want to do this during the school holidays in the summer (for better light conditions), and the kids will see the cars and (hopefully) brick them, or find where they get parked at night and steal them and burn them out.

But yeah, if there's going to be one in my area, then there will be a full moon on google!

last time i checked you have no legal right to your image in a public area

they are well within their right if they find the photo on a forum and you refuse to take it down

Ah, but then i believe the correct way for this would be to go ahead and picture every area as planned and then, IF, someone complains, blur their face

In public places i think they only need permission from you if you are under 16. I think thats how it works on Road Wars anyway

 

[Overdriven]

Shit. Does this mean I have to stop masturbating out side my window then?

 

[Lamp]

No, You'll be ok. I don't think the software can zoom in that far
