		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for quoting me. The original question was about privacy rights. The guy was digressing into pornography, child pornography, national security concerns and hitting everything but the original subject. The fact remains that when you go out in public, you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and so your right to privacy is, for all intents and purposes, non-existent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, you DO have some control over how your image is used. It cannot be used with the intent to libel or humilliate you. If your photo shows up in an article about adult diaper wearers, the photographer is in trouble. It cannot be used for commercial purposes without your consent. If someone shoots a photo of you talking to your sister on the street and the photo later shows up on a box of Trojans, you can take him (and the condom company) to court and be assured of victory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are, of course, laws against child pornography to protect the putative child at the beach, and to protect children at playgrounds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, if some simpleminded person is of adult age and chooses to walk down the street naked, there is nothing to prevent anyone who wants to from taking his/her photo. Yes, there is an illegality taking place here, but the photographer is not the one committing it. The photographer will need a signed release if he wants to use it commercially, but not otherwise. It can also be used under &quot;fair use&quot; if it is newsworthy. If you write an article to go with it about declining morals, you can publish it just about anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;No, cameras do not steal your soul and individuals have no intrinsic right to tell everyone else on the planet how to live/die.&lt;/p&gt;
