Federal Legislation to Address Picture Phone Abuse
A bill to restrict the use of revealing photos or video footage obtained without the subjects consent is creeping its way through the laborious federal legislative process. The House Judiciary Committee unanimously voted to refer the bill to the full House for consideration. The Senate has already approved a similar bill. Both bills aim to create a privacy hedge in public or semi-public areas where people would have a reasonable expectation of privacy from being photographed.
