In the US, as long as you are in/on a public way you can video everything around you without permission from anyone.
The rub comes in when you use that video for “commercial” purposes.
For example, if you come across my friends and me playing cornhole dressed as Vikings you can film it. But if you put it on line and make money…you better have a release form from everyone in the video.
Ty. What if my secretary edits/blurs any likeness? As suggested earlier in the thread? I think just the audio would be hilarious.
YouTube is full of videos where the creator records strangers and is paid for the video based on viewership. The creators do not have to have permission just because they get paid. No expectation of privacy in public.
