I have also noticed that on TV when they put a person, who was in public, on the air, that person has to give their consent. But someone sitting in their own yard does not have that same option? A person sitting in their own yard has no right to privacy? Geez, you'd think someone in their own yard might have some right to privacy. Just because someone can see a person in their yard shouldn't give them a right to take pictures of them and publish the pictures WITH their address on the internet.

I can't believe what I read in this thread about "upskirt" pictures either. Women truly have so few rights to our own bodies at this point. It is sickening.
