...A photograph of an individual
in a public place is by definition
not private information. What
occurs in public is public...
Nobody understands the US.
The "US" is, literally "us", as in "we", as in "we, the
people".
The "government has no powers of it's own except the powers it receives
from "we the people".
And, "we, the people" put our concerns right up front in the Bill of
Rights:
"...congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of
the press..."
Period. "...no law..." End of story.
...Perhaps something along the
lines of proving that revealing
information on a private figure
is 'in the public interest'?..
Got that backwards - that's concerning "we the people", the public,
having the right private information, not trying to make public
information private!
And, what exactly is a "private figure" anyway?
