I believe similar legislation applies here - to some extend. You can photograph people in public places. If they are so close, they ca actually express their discontent, they must do so to prevent the photographing. If they don't photgraphing is OK. You may, however still be prepared to face legal charges, if you later publish photographs in way that can be considered offending to the photographed person. If you photograph a minor, in this way, you should always get the parents consent. If you plan to use pictures for advertising or other commercial purposes you must get a signed release form from this recognisable person.

Was: Texas Photo Issues In Norway it is illegal to sell pornography (that is "active genitalia"), but it may be changing soon because of Internet and the fact that some movies, like the Japanese "Ai no corrida" (realm of the senses?) has been allowed because of its artistic qualities.... You may photograph anything you like her if it is in a public place, but there are restrictions regarding publishing pictures of recognizable persons standing out from the crowd. The labs, however, may say no to certain kinds of pictures.
