Is it legal to take photos or videos at a con without consent?

>> No.9920603

no, its in all the rules

>> No.9920609

Legal Yes.

You may photograph anyone you want without repercussion in any public space, as defined by U.S Law and the law of many other countries.

Don't even try to debate me on this gulls.

>> No.9920613

It doesn't harm anyone, just try to be subtle about it. People consent by cosplaying in skimpy outfits and posing in public. Obviously they are there to be seen/photographed/recorded.

>> No.9920618

>>9920603

So what if there are people in the background of a photo/video

>> No.9920648

Yes and no.

You can take pictures/film without consent in public places as long it isn't focused on one or more people in particular.
If it's focused on someone, you could get into trouble. Depends on the situation.

Cons can however change the rules of the space they rent. So you need to read their rules on photography, if you shoot on their (borrowed) property.

But I've never heard a con story of someone getting into trouble for filming a cosplayer (with consent) and having a few background people.

It's perfectly legal. However, convention centers and hotels are private establishments and can set their own rules. If a con wants to prohibit photos without consent then they reserve the right to ask you to leave if caught. However, most cons don't really give a shit.

At least where I live, pictures, video, or audio where the main parties did not consent is a felony.

Besides the fact that you fuckers make this thread every week after mods delete the last one. You don't even vary your OP pics.

Also aren't conventions private affairs?

the phrase you're looking for is "expectation of privacy". If you're in a public place, you have no expectation of privacy, so you don't need anyone's consent to take pics or video. does not apply to upskirts and stuff like that, obviously.

State laws vary and include a need for consent in order to film or record someone. Also recording some creep shots would fall under sexual harassment or sexual assault since that's not the same at all as just taking a picture of some random girl

I really like candid shots though.

>> No.9920948

Hard and fast rule: you can take photos until someone with authority tells you to stop. You can then still take photos but if they tell you you're trespassing then you should leave.

It's really the trespassing part that you should pay attention to because that's the one that has some weight behind it.

Now, with that said, you can be in a public place and still take photos of anything publicly visible that does not have an expectation of privacy. If you really wanted to take a picture of someone's ass and you're standing on public property and they happen to be visible through the doors of a lobby your legally able to.

Really depends on where in the world you are. Where I life, If you take a picture with clearly the focus on someone, than that person get's what you call "expectation of privacy" regardless if they are on public ground.
But even if that wasn't the case, every smart lawyer can get you in trouble because of a different law they use as loophool.

don't spread misinformation there's a difference between taking a picture of someone and shoving a camera up their butt like the above webms. neither of those would be a very defensible stance in court and realistically you're going to get charged with sexual assault as if you had peeped under their skirts yourself.

I still don't even see why we need to have this thread other than the r9k crybabies whining about "Thots". Most cosplayers will pose for pretty much anyone who asks and most cosplayers will pose as if they were doing a candid shot if you ask. There's no need to do any of that bullshit of taking sneaky side pictures.

>> No.9921181

if you're attractive: legal
if you're uggo: morally illegal and probably get you assaulted
