Can I "shoot" public figures on the street? Expert interpretation

2023-01-18

Recently, the beating incident of Wang Moumou in Shanghai has aroused high social attention, and relevant reports have been on the hot search list for many times. On January 12, the Jing'an police in Shanghai issued a notice that at 4:00 on the 11th, they received a report that someone had been beaten at the door of a business building on Nanjing West Road. After investigation, Wang and others mistakenly thought that Chen, who was waiting for the bus at the roadside, was taking pictures of him, so they asked Chen not to take pictures. Chen said that he did not take pictures, and the two sides quarreled. Wang and others beat Chen. After judicial appraisal, Chen was comprehensively assessed as slightly injured. Subsequently, the media confirmed that the hitter was a well-known public figure, Mr. Wang. While condemning violence, many people are also discussing the issue of privacy in depth. With the rise of We-media and short video platforms, the phenomenon of "random shooting" and street shooting has become very common in daily life. Not only public figures, but also ordinary people may become the subject of shooting. Where is the legal limit? Many experts interviewed by the reporter of the Rule of Law Daily said that shooting without the consent of the subject is suspected of infringing the subject's portrait rights. The spread of photos on the network platform may also cause damage to the subject's reputation rights. The phenomenon of "random shooting" and street shooting needs to be regulated by law. In case of unauthorized shooting, it should be solved through negotiation according to law, rather than relying on violence. The boundary of the right to privacy should be defined. The reporter noticed that after the incident of Mr. Wang's beating was exposed, there were different voices on the Internet: some netizens speculated that the photographer might be a paparazzi. The paparazzi staring at the photo was annoying and deserved to be beaten; Some netizens also believe that Wang is a public figure. Even if he was really photographed at that time, he should have the tolerance to be photographed. In fact, disputes caused by public figures, artists and other people being photographed are not uncommon. Also on January 12, the blogger Liu Moumou aired a video of a famous artist surnamed Wang on his social platform and wrote, "He found it this time. Sorry, I will hide it next time.". The following two people had a dispute, and Liu Moumou said that he was nearly beaten. As soon as the incident happened, it was on the hot search list, attracting hot discussion from netizens. With the advent of the Internet era, the lives of public figures and artists have become more transparent, and some fans are also keen to explore their life behind the scenes. Whether at the airport or shopping for dinner, public figures and entertainers will always be surrounded by flashing lights from time to time. Some fans even sneak into the community where public figures and artists live and take their life photos secretly, which seriously affects the normal life of public figures and artists. So, can we "shoot" public figures and artists? Is the privacy boundary of public figures and artists different from that of ordinary people? "Compared with ordinary people, the privacy or portrait rights of public figures and artists are subject to some restrictions, and whether the 'shooting at will' is infringed needs to be judged according to the specific situation; If their itinerary is not publicized, and even strict confidentiality measures are taken, and the shooting place is at home, private places and other non-public places, then the act of secretly taking photos is an infringement of privacy and portrait rights.
