Honestly I’m not even upset. Props for walking outside like that.

Id give this guy a thumbs up and hope he doesn’t rage at me.

    I am genuinely curious, I don’t try to be smug. So please don’t get this wrong, but I have to ask: is it legal & OK in the US to take pictures of people w/o their consent?

      It’s legal if you’re in a place with no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as a restaurant.

        Is there an expectation of privacy in a gym?

          If it is a public gym like you see at some beaches, no. If it is a private gym with a membership, then yes.

          A gym with a membership has an expectation of privacy in my state, so yes.

          possibly not but gyms are privately owned and require membership and the owner can decide to kick people out for taking photos

      Outside of using someone’s likeness for commercial gain, pretty much anywhere that is public property you can’t be stopped from photographing anything you can see. Private property can make their own rules but all they can do is trespass you and kick you out, it’s still not illegal. Public photography is generally protected under the first amendment free press.

      While it is legal to take pictures of people in public without their consent in the US, it is generally frowned upon.

      That being said, people who vote the way this guy does take pictures of queer people just existing and share them around online to doxx them, so turnabout is fair play. Fuck these pricks, they deserve every bit of awfulness coming to them.

      In a lot of places in the EU, I think it’s legal to take pictures. What you can do with said picture, differs quite a bit. Uploading it, like this, would be very much illegal. Which begs the question: is it legal in the US to upload such images, without consent?

          If Trump sues under these circumstances, then the person being sued can file for discovery. Discovery is a search to prove that Trump did the thing that he is accused of doing. Fear of discovery also has the hazard of uncovering other hidden crimes. Trump drops suits before discovery.
