The President of the U.S. visited your local community and gave a speech at the civic center. Your staff photographer covered the event and captured some great pictures of the President talking to some students from your school. As you are about to submit the pages, someone mentions that photos of famous people can’t be used without permission. True or False and Why?

This is false. You can use the picture because it was in a public place. It’s not illegal unless it’s taken in a place of privacy or like a restroom. If the picture is taken in a public place then yes it can be used without consent
