Food Cart Thug, NYC

I’m aware of the debate but find it interesting that having recently moved to NYC (cited in the first article) that someone might feel that (wholly legally) shooting a photograph of them in a public place was somehow an unjustifiable “violation” yet in other US cities shooting an unarmed person dead with a military assault rifle is considered “self-defense”…

(tongue very firmly in cheek)

It would be interesting to see whether the person in the first report has an Instagram account and is happy to normally post their “life in photos”.

FWIW I do not use any social media and am astonished at the disconnect people have between their “privacy” and their “rights” and their use of Facebook/ Instagram etc etc

(my point being that I understand that FB/Instagram allows you to be tagged (via facial recognition) in photos that other people have posted and which you have presumably not approved, have not necessarily seen, and are not necessarily taken in a public place…)

I liked what you had to  say about rights of the photographer however It sounds like your a viewer  of CNN,  your man was   aquatinted .
