When you go in public you pretty much lose the expectation of privacy.

You also need to prove damages. You would have to prove:

1) Your face is a known brand which produces revenue for you
2) The publication of your image made $ specifically from using your face (vs. a generic)
3) Your brand was weakened from that use
4) Amount of $ the use weakened your brand (via forensic accounting analysis)

Good luck surmounting ANY of these hurdles, even if you got past the expectation of privacy.

If Tom Cruise were to go to Trader Joe's and I caught a pic of him and sold it for $20,000 he would have no basis for a suit.

Thus, papparazzi.

I understand the legal aspect of this, the potential for government abuse is great. We may need a constitutional ammendment. Because i am not a public official, movie star, or a notable individual in any way. My public petsona is nonextant. Therefore, my expectation of privacy is paramount and supercedes the government need for database.
