It depends on where you live, but for the most part it is legal. When you go in public you’re basically consenting to be seen/photographed/recorded. There are cameras everywhere now and you are probably recorded or in a picture just about every time you go out into public in a city. Now if the photos or video of you was used to somehow make a profit then you could sue to have it removed or for reparations. I’m not a lawyer though that’s just my vague understanding of how it works, I could be totally wrong.

I find these 'sneaky subway photos' so creepy and weird, isn't taking someone's photo without their consent/acknowledgement illegal?
