posting images online of people you see on your trail cameras

[NOCK NOCK]

I have did some theatrics for cams I have come across hoping to get posted on here, but still haven't showed up, so It does not bother me to have my ugly mug posted. 

I have posted a couple pics of folks on the POC thread in the past and never really thought that much about it. after reading through some of the thoughts on the thread that sparked this one, I kind of get why some do not want theirs posted.
Going forward I will only post a POC pic if that person was obviously doing something illegal(ie: stealing) or if it seems that the particular person would not care about having their pic shared. (ie: waving at cam, or putting on a show)

I don't think most trail cams take flattering pics. They all make me look overweight

Its not the camera

Wife;    Honey does this dress make me look fat?

Husband;    The dress does not make you look fat,...…….the fat makes you look fat.

Wife;

This is the only "social media" i do and I would not do it if it was anything like FB or the others..  I understand that we are in public when hunting, yeah, yeah, yeah...  I don't even post pics I took on purpose on here, why would I want someone's trail pic of me posted without being asked??

I don't use cams or like them but that is just my personal preference.  For those who do, more power to you.  There are a lot of people who prefer to be a bit more private, modest and less vocal.  And don't like feeling like they are being photographed/videoed in the woods of all places..  As many have said, thats why I go into the woods is to get away from all that..  Now I have to worry about passing someones trail cam having my hunting clothes of choice, weapon, footwear, beard length, baldness, height, weight, gear I'm carrying, intent of why I have any gear, etc., etc, etc. scrutinized by a bunch of yahoos who think they can make that conclusion based off of a couple low quality screen shots from a motion camera...  No thanks.

Doesn't matter to me "but", if you sell my image to Elk Hunter GQ Magazine, I want a cut of the pay

If someone is trespassing on private property or obviously poaching by all means put them on blast. When it comes to people minding their business on public land, I think you should mind your business as well. Between surveillance cameras, license plate readers and the super bugs we carry in our pockets, the woods is about the last place where one can seek solitude and privacy from digital intrusion.

I voted Only If They're Doing Something Wrong. Someone's picture taken with a trail cam has been taken without their expressed permission. I believe that HuntWA takes on a minute but existent liability by allowing photos to be posted without the subject's permission. However, if the activity of the subject is illegal, there's probably much less opportunity for liability. I do play an attorney on the internet, so my opinion is important to me.

I don’t like strangers following me around the woods and thats what all these cams do.  Posting pics of law abiding hunters you don’t know online is incredibly rude imo.  Huntwa is rude in allowing it.

They could always blur the faces.

Studied journalism for awhile after leaving the Army, I remember one lecture very clearly. It is not against the the law to take a picture of someone in public s viewed from a public street, even if it is a cute child looking out the window of their house as seen from the street.

With that said, the question becomes what will happen to that picture. Facebook and Google can use that photo for commercial means making money for themselves.

Went to Google images and put in my name. What I saw was disturbing. Suggest others do the same.

I think the point is this...  5-10 years ago there was no cameras.  Now there are several threads about people on them, seeing them, worried about them.  There probably are not nearly as many as most assume.  there are also probably more than people realized as well.  The question was posed how we would feel if we showed up on a website if we came across one.  Having to be asked that certainly assumes it is something we never had to think about/worry about.  For those of us who are old school, it seems weird.  For those who use them and enjoy them, don't think much about it.  There is no wrong answer but I think it is unfair to criticize those of us who would rather not be on one as paranoid or out of line.  We just don't care for them, but it is a reality now.  To me that sucks..

I think I'm going to put in your name. Sounds like it would be interesting!
