well i sit on my mexican buddies front porch and drink coronas.  i helped a black friend reroof his house.  so if going on a roof in 90 degree weather for free to help a friend thats black makes me prejudice i guess i dont know what prejudice means.      reality is , certain shades of pink or peach look like crap on most white women. and look hot on black chicks  thats not prejudice thats reality.

I don't think YOU know what the law is... but I do, because I am looking at it right now.

It would NOT be an invasion of privacy, in Massachusetts, to start with if you are in a public place [= no reasonable expectation of privacy, so, ipso facto, no "...unreasonable, substantial or serious interference..." with privacy,] and you can NOT prevent the TAKING of a photograph in a public place, only it's use in a narrow range of possible uses: "...within the commonwealth for advertising purposes or for the purposes of trade without...written consent..."

You would be WRONG! You would be wrong to use force; you would be wrong to use intimidation or threatening words; you would be wrong to use harassment; you would be wrong to try and assault the photographer or try and seize or damage his camera, film or gear. Sorry sweets....... you would be WRONG!

But you have to KNOW your rights.  If they tell some average chump on the beach with his camera that it's illegal to shoot them, I'd be willing to bet more than half of those guys would believe her (they might not put their camera away though).  Anyhow, if it gets them to stop and move on, who cares what the law actually is?

haha I'd happily take a night in the old gray bar hotel to knock the teeth out of the photog rudely setting up his shoot with my [paid] model. I'd thoroughly enjoy the bitching and whining of the pussy photog that got his teeth knock in for being the little bitch that he was... cry me a river with your quote unquote "rights". I paid for that models time, not for you to shoot her. Again; gladly take the night in the slammer to reveal you for the bitch you were. OWNED
As far as the shadow casting perp... "hey buddy, step back for a bit you're in the shot. Thanks." They can talk all they want when the sun goes down and we're out of time. He can wait Slap

That just shows what a bully punk you can be.  I think my solution is still the best.  Have the assistant stand between the subject and the other photographer.  What's he going to do, bitch about it?  If he does, laugh at him, mock him.  And if he tries to assault you, then kick his ass.

And finally, why assume the other photographer is smaller than you?  If he's bigger than you and looks like an obvious ass-kicker, are you still gonna trash talk?  Talk is cheap.

Once again, a law quoting, no force libby, think you can get away with everything hiding behind the literature of the law sissy; anyone up for a good old fashion ass kicking? Law or no law, sometimes, a punch in the mouth gets business taken care of ... too bad too sad, your sore mouth, like it or not. Anyone with me? Say I.

You're starting to sound like that guy from Illinois.
