politicians are in public office... the term "public" has legal meaning.
if u are on-duty in a "public" job (such as a politician making a speech) u can be taped most times, because what they are saying is a matter of public record (i'm being somewhat loose here in definition, but that's basically the gist of it). most people are not in public office and have the right to privacy. if this right didn't exist, people could film you anywhere, anytime. if a crowd shot is taken with no clear subject (ie: ambient) there is invasion of privacy because no individual is being singled out... but if you took a crowd shot, then focused in on an individual, yes, you'd need their permission if you want to be sure you won't be sued. it's mostly common-sense... laws vary from country to country, but most work along these lines. later rob ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Snell To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 9:27 PM Subject: Re: [AP] permission to videotape I hardly see how that can work in practical terms ...how can tv run the news? When they shoot a crowd they have the consent of al?, when a politician appears to make a speech...come on! Mike [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
