Braves0511 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 That depends...are you a one time visitor, who just ignored the warnings...Or are you a well informed pass holder who can come back several times, and are willing to risk the possible revocation of your pass for that particular shot? Some people would... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I will say this: A few rides do lack "no photography" on the fun and safety guides. And I'm not talking about Eiffel Tower, either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerRider Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Is it illegal to video someone and use it with out notification or permission? I know Kings Island says that you may be video taped and used for commertails ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 In order to use photographs or a video for commercial purposes, one must have permission of identifiable individuals in it unless it is a newsworthy occasion and the video is used only for news purposes. This area of law is very contested...if the photos or video are not for commercial purposes, such permission is generally not needed..but then invasion of privacy issues can become a part of the question unless the photos or video are taken in an indisputably public place.

CoastersRZ Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 And speaking of taking pictures, on my architectural trips to Chicago, many times when my classmates and I were in public places inside buildings, such as a food court we ran into trouble. We were taking pictures of the architecture and would often be told by security that they do no permit the taking of pictures inside the premises. My one professor once said to take as many pictures as you can, before you get yelled at and told to leave. I`ve even heard of someone taking a picture of the outside of a building (and this was in the Cincinnati area), and a manager coming out and telling them that they could not take pictures of the building.

74Gibson Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 RZ, I wonder if that was a security concern regarding pictures of the front of the building. I can't think of any other reason. Funny side note, I almost caught someone's headband going over the air(less) time hill going onto Millennium Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 ^Since taking POV's IS an illegal act in the state of Ohio then I suppose they can take that picture down if they want. Correct? Photos belong to you even if you broke the law while taking them. The Photographer's Right However, if the person were to refuse to delete the photo or video, that photo/video I am assuming, could be used as sufficient enough evidence to eject said person from the park for ignoring the posted guidelines and rules of the park. If I were given a choice to delete a photo or leave the park...I think I would delete the photo. If they didn't delete the video, couldn't the police get a warrant/supeona (I think you know what I mean) and use the video/pictures as evidence in a trial (if it got that far)?

Cory Butcher Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 ^That would be a question for The Interpreter, I am sure he would know the legalities of that, he seems to be well-versed in those kinds of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Although there is a Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination, that applies to evidence from the accused's own testimony...it generally does not apply to documents, film, etc. And yes, the police (and more likely prosecutor) can seek a subpoena or warrant...whether or not they got it would depend on the decision of the judge...though they likely would be successful in obtaining it....
