Question

Is it legal to take a photo of my property without my consent and publish it in a newsletter and post it online without my knowledge? My name was not used in the publication or posting; however, the caption indicated that the specific property was in violation of city code.



Answer

It is legal to take and post the picture. The key will be if the person reasonably believed that the home was in violation of the city code. If so, this is legal. If not, then it could be defamation.
