Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland
Public Photography
Are there prohibited subjects for taking photographs in a public place such as a park or sidewalk, etc? If someone takes my picture on a park bench can I sue them for harrassment or get the police to do anything?

Re: Public Photography
There is no law against having your photo taken in a public place that would get the police involved. If the photo were somehow used commercially or published, you might have a claim for invasion of privacy.
