nudity..in public

nudity..in public

... ah, sorry, under the "Right to Privacy provisions of the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms" it is law ... I bet it's written in french too .... they like laws such as that, the French, you wouldn't want photos of oneself, or ones mistress popping up in Paris Match eh? ... even if Julie Gayet has the better decolletage

... I stand corrected

Truth tell in Canadian French! Quebecois..whatever.
Why do those of French in their make-up are so worried about privacy?
We are photographed almost every moment..
They are bizarre.
Expectations of privacy.:bang:

I'm still wondering why she didn't initiate some action against the bank and her co-workers. From the article in the Montreal Journal--I used google translate to help my poorly remember French--it said that the taunting and malicious comments at work were bad enough to leave her "resigned to leaving."
Yes, Google took the photo but the emotional damage came from those co-workers. So Google is responsible for the bad behavior of those people? This is what's wrong here I think.

May be a French thing, in France it is strictly forbidden to take a person's picture in public, without their prior consent.

In Norway you may take a picture where the subject is identifiable, but in no way publish it without prior consent. Except if the subject is party to a public event, demonstration etc.

Exactly how many who post their whole life on Facebook and Instagram etc, including other people in the frame, however inadvertantly, are aware of their braking the law would be interesting to know.

Do we know she didn't? If the bank settled out of court and with a gag clause we would never know.

My building doesn't have a stoop (that's what New Yorkers call front steps), so I can't cash in.
Suggest the most attractive of you sit on yours and wait for the Google Earth van to pass by.
You won't have pockets so don't forget to have a wheelbarrow handy for the big cash payout.
