This doesn't necessarily make it illegal for someone to snap your photo without your permission though. For instance, if you're just walking down the street and someone takes a picture, they're well within their rights no matter how violated you might feel. But if someone takes a picture of you without your permission while you're getting ready to shower at the gym, it's against the law. This law isn't limited to camera phones but also includes camcorders, cameras, and digital cameras. Hopefully, this will make you a little more secure about using that department store dressing room. While the law is there, enforcing it is a whole different matter. First of all, you have to know your picture is being taken. The person taking the photograph can be pretending to be talking on the phone or doing something else. This means you have to be positive your privacy is being violated. If you're not aware you're being photographed, your picture can still end up on the internet. Unless you happen to stumble across it, you'll be none the wiser. Even if you do find it, you can take action, but finding the photographer may not be easy. Camera phones are intended to be a convenient way to take and share spur of the moment photos with friends and family. And there's nothing wrong with that. Like anything else though, people have to proceed with caution. Never take photos of people without their permission, and try to be aware of your surroundings. If you see someone taking your photo without your permission, it's your right to ask him or her to stop. If you're undressed and someone is taking your photo, put in a call to the police. Not only are you making sure your rights are intact, you're also making the dressing room a little safer for the rest of the world.
