Can You Sue Someone For Taking A Picture Of You
Camila Farah
The outcome of current cases.
You have no expectation of privacy at work. Just for taking the pictures only. Lawsuits about these kinds of photos tend to turn on a person s right of publicity which limits the commercial use of one s name image likeness and or identity. In addition they would likely fire you if you did sue.
Cost you more to sue than you would win. For example a georgia teen whose facebook bikini photo was used without her permission by a school administrator at a seminar about the dangers of social media brought suit for false light against the district. In this case you are legally allowed to take photos because the person who is on public grounds has little expectation of privacy. An attorney may classify this type of action as defamation as well.
The person can try to sue you but the attempt would most likely. If the photo is being used to portray you in a misleading or unflattering way you may have a lawsuit for false light. Also absent any economic damages you have nothing to recover in the way of damages.
