theodp writes "People seem to be okay with constant corporate or government video surveillance in public. Let a lone individual point a video camera their way, however, and tempers flare. GeekWire takes a look at the antics and videos of Seattle's mysterious Surveillance Camera Man, who walks up to people and records them for no apparent reason other than to make a point: How is what he’s doing different than those stationary surveillance cameras tucked away in buildings and public places?"

Uh, no. The Supreme Court has upheld the right of photographers to photograph anything or anyone clearly visible in public.
Using that photograph for commercial purposes, however, requires a model release. Using it for personal or editorial purposes does not.
There's a lot a difference between a video camera and a gamma ray device. Cameras record, not emit.
