Just a point about &quot;taking pictures without my permission&quot;<p>In public spaces there are few restrictions against this (ex. military zones).  In private spaces this can be regulated by the organizer, I believe, but that prohibition must be posted.   This is how the &quot;street photography&quot; gender of photography can exist.<p>Now, to be fair, there are regulations against commercial use of photos from &quot;street photography&quot; without permission.  There you can sue for compensation if your likeness was used to advertise and sell (selling a book with street photographs does not require permission, as that is not &quot;commercial use&quot;, that&#x27;s to say, it&#x27;s &quot;art&quot;)<p>It becomes an issue if the photographer videographer follows you and thus engages in harassment (in some jurisdictions).<p>Remember that videographer who taunted people at an outdoor restaurant.  They had little recourse against him.
