Is it against caregiving law to take a photo of a medical issue that has been reported several times?

Hi Anon,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community! First of all, are you the caregiver? What exactly is the circumstance so I can help you better?

If you or someone else is taking a picture of a person, then by law that individual being photographed would need to give consent for the picture to be taken and shared.

If you take a photo of someone without consent, the photographer would be held liable in a civil action if he or she takes a photograph of a person and in doing so violates that person’s right of privacy.

You should have a basic understanding of the laws of the jurisdiction where you wish to photograph.

I'd suggest seeking legal counsel.

Let me know some more details so I can help you further.

Will you keep me updated?

Best,

Kristin
