photos being taken at roadworks

[Karma]

Stop riding your bike in the city then - you get a camera pointed at you many times across the town.

That's in the future you know - cameras at point a and point b scan your numberplate as you drive past - and if the time equates to an average speed higher than the posted limit between the two.....in the mail.

The system has been running in NSW on the big rig trucks for 10 years.

I'm always getting my picture taken on the bike, hate to think how many Japanese chicks have my picture

[Keystone19]

they're probably doing some new collateral and they needed a sexy chick on a sexy bike, cos it'll look good and it'll look like they're taking care of us bikers. But then you came along instead..

What are the rules surrounding this? Am I allowed to take pictures of people anywhere any time? What rights does the subject of the photo have (can they say no to the picture and demand the negative/copies be destroyed or handed over).

Big Dave?

Any one else into photography?

I believe that if you are going to publish or sell the picture to make $$'s then you have to have the permission of the subject in writing. If it is for your own personal interst/perversion then that's OK

[Big Dave]

Now Big Dave, settle down,

Settle down! I was any calmer I'd be asleep.

[ManDownUnder]

yeah I noticed that about you... it's almost disturbing

Big Dave?

Is a paragon of good taste and only publishes with permission....unless of course we're talking blackmail.

[Ixion]

I'll go ride past, then when they take a photo of me, it'll crack their lens.

The rules/laws around this STINK! I am currently having an issue with the guy above me taking photos of me coming and going from my flat form his bedroom window, when I went to the police they said that legally he is doing nothing illegal. Basically if you are on your own private property you can take photos of anyone/anything on public or your own private property. If you are on public property you can take photos of anyone/anything on public land, and all this is entirely legal. Our "legal" system sucks arse.
Wouldn't have a clue about publishing the photos etc though

Which reminds me of an OLD joke...

Me: You got any pictures of your wife in the nude?
Them..... no...
Me:... want some?

TA DA! (Best I could do... and now - back to the news)

really? Cool... gimme details (like why is he taking them etc... I'd love to work out a revenge strategy.)

Let him know that you're annoyed about it, and every time he does it you'll find something to annoy him back.

Assuming it's not going to affect other neighbours (like in a block of flats) commence the regime of burning toast, starting and revving your bike EARLY, stereo up loud etc.

Only on the days he takes the pics.

Nah, believe me its NOT cool. Its scary, the guy in question has huge physchotic paranoid issues. He believes that the Courts/police and most Govt organisations are conspiring against him for some reason (god knows why). When I first moved into the flat I met him and told him I work for the Min Of Justice. When I caught him taking photos of me I talked to another cop who agreed that he was well known for taking photos of people and has attacked people in the past for confronting him about it. I am currently fighting my landlords to allow me to re-assign my lease and am awaiting the court date for a restraining order against him, which I applied for under the civil harrasement act... I havent been home for a week and dont plan on it either, so believe me it IS scary and at the least a huge annoyance!

Maybe they were dazzled by the top speed of a suzuki

aaaaaaaaa - ok completely different story. Contact the Tenancy Tribunal and have them tell you about the Landlord's responsibility to provide safe housing.

The right to privacy, safety and something else (I forget what) are the 3 basic tenets that MUST be afforded to a tennant. If you're not getting them, your landlord may be able to help (it might also push the neighbour into reacting, so it could simply be time to move on...?!?)

Good luck...
