Can a news paper take your picture without your consent?

[Ish]

If they take your picture and put private infomation about you, like your sexual preference is that allowed? and if not what can be done about it?

 

[choccobaby]

yes they can. it happens to celebrities all the time.

if your not happy about something written about you in the paper, write and complain to them.

 

[deighton2002]

what law stops an under 18 being photographed. As a matter of interest?

 

[CountessBeirhaüsen]

Yes.
If the information they printed was false you can demand a retraction and possibly sue for libel.

To the above, I didn't know that they could. I mean they could take your picture, but under the Data Protection Act surely they're not allowed to without your consent?

I mean I don't do law or anything... so I'm not sure - but I wouldn't be sure if they are allowed....
