A new parody 'law' by the Hungarian regime makes all of us criminals!
The 'law' forbids anyone to photograph other people in public without their written consent.
So

You are a tourist and visit Hungary and take a photo outdoors, let's say at a square where are hundreds of people, the police will come and arrest you and imprison you.

The regime is beating people at a protest and you photo the cops beating people which is a crime to use as proof you are imprisoned for violating the law

A governmental official is committing a crime and you photo him for proof you are imprisoned.

...

F*** your f*****g Laws!
ANARCHY RULES!

Seems a bit complicated, doesn't it... at least to enforce? I know that we have some laws about needing permission, at least to publish (I think, I am not a lawyer), and it seems that Hungary already had a law in place that prevented publishing photos without permission of each person in the photo (which I imagine people get around by blurring faces if they can't find the people).

Plus, if you're a photographer, and you are taking photos of people in real life situations, asking them permission first (as opposed to afterward) is going to take away the naturalness, the spontaneity.


Interesting though, Anomos, thanks for the update from that part of the world.

Peace to you,
