Is it illegal for someone to post a picture of my car on the internet?

[Mark]

the local councillor took a photo of my car and posted it to the local website - is that allowed????

Yup, unless your car is inside and you have an expectation of privacy (ie; no-one will see it) then yes they can.

im pretty sure that if they dont show your license plate they can

No, it's not illegal, even if they get your license plate in the picture, despite what some of the answers have suggested. If the picture was taken in a public place, then it is completely legal and they do not have to have your permission for using it how they see fit.

It's illegal in NH for officials to use any electronic surveillance to identify you or your vehicle, unless specifically authorized by law, or for investigation of a particular crime, for viewing traffic conditions (but not recording), incidental to surveillance of a public building, bridge or to implement the EZ-pass toll system.

The use of automated number plate scanning devices is also prohibited, except IAW the above.

Your state and local laws may have something similar.

Anything you take out in public can be photographed by anybody else.

Well... If your number plate was in the pic then yes definatly if it's not I guess its not a huge deal
