        i’ve seen many media/ vloggers of japan and Korea blurring the people in background when they are taking videos even main stream media .BUt in India thats not the case inidans dont value privacy of others. i wanted to know if its legal to do videography or photography in public and post the people in it without their consent.

              But if you are caught especially by any women then you will be an official molester.

                    >concern

                    Did you mean to say consent?

                        Who knows. It is just his opinion, not a legal opinion.

                            Then try doing that bro and if that person complains then you will be in trouble.

                            I would not recommend that.

                                You can,
                                But you cannot use photos with recognisable people for commercial application.
                                It’s okay to use them for editorial or surveillance.

                                  No, some do out of courtesy but it’s not mandatory.
