What if, just suppose, this guy WAS one of those deviants or perverts out stalking a victim or worse, creating some kind of underground pornography using your image?
We hear more and more stories of deviants and perverts lurking with technology just waiting to capture a wardrobe malfunction or other act that seems to be of interest to people.
One can't really blame the average person for being concerned, nervous or even upset by a person they don't know pointing a camera at them, or their family.
Put yourself in their position.. if an older man is sneaking around the mall taking photographs of your child, you'd be less than tolerant. (And i dont intend to be sexist here, but i don't think anyone would argue that pedophiles are usually men)
I think there is a difference between sniping photos of a person unknowing and capturing scenes of interest that just happen to have people in them.
It is said that one must suffer for their art, but please don't encroach on my privacy to do so.
My image is my own and under my control. You can't use it for any exhibition, display, or commercial work without my permission, so there's no need to capture it in the first place.
As it is, I think society is beginning to revolt against 'big brother' watching over their every move.
While it's true most of us live in 'free' societies, we cant dispute that from the moment we leave our front doors we are under surveillance... traffic cameras, weather cameras, bank machine cameras, security cameras, and even the common tourist is capturing video as they walk around.
Just my 2 cents. Keep the change lol.
