i say film back,that way you have prove to show the cops
I hope that CREEP gets caught!
The answer is yes… and no.
The simple rule is that you can photograph nearly all public places and spaces. You can also photograph people in public as long as it falls under editorial content.
What is editorial content in regards to photographing people? How does it differ from photographing people in another manner?
Editorial content tells a story, shows an environment, records an event. The subject matter is the image as a whole – any people in the photograph are a component of the story. They are not the story itself. This is different from portraiture. In portraiture, you are photographing a person as the subject matter and the photograph is meant to capture her likeness.
Consider the following images:
Both images are street photography. Both have minor child(ren)/teen in the images. But one is clearly editorial and one is clearly a portrait. The left would not require model releases. It is an image showing the street, architecture and occupants of a Havana, Cuba street scene. The one on the right is a portrait and requires a model release.
I am a photographer and I have taken photos of people while out snd about (however, this guy was videoing? Could have been completely innocent, but maybe not... and, as a photographer myself, I know the laws and requirements of photo and video releases that muzt be obtained from the people in the photos or videos as well as the owners of private properties in such photos and videos. So, if this guy video'd you and didn't approach you for a release signature AND mysteriously disappeared, that's definitely creepy... he may have been playing with a new toy)...
At any rate, if you or anyone you know sees the video of you on, say, youtube, you contact youtube and explain the situation to them and find out the source and proceed with legal action.
mhm.. have you seen him again since then?
just be cautious :)
Call someone to pick you up (Use those parents! That's what we are there for)
Call the police department (call 411 and get that number in your phone) and ask them.
Getting dark? Call 911 and ask them what you should do...
