Texas law against improper photography ruled unconstitutional

So, you have the right to take pictures, but you don't have the right to choose not to have your picture taken.

To have it otherwise would require it basically to be illegal to take any photo in a public area. I can't guarantee there are zero people in line of sight of my camera, and I can't individually gather documented permission of every single person who happens to be at a concert.

It was probably designed to go after the pervs that hang around playgrounds, schools and beaches to take pictures of the little girls. We had one longtime pedophile up here who used to go to the kids' games, upset quite a few folks but nothing could be done [legally].

Probably because it's hard to prove the difference between "I'm taking pictures of little kids because I'm a pedophile" and "I like soccer so I'm taking pictures of soccer."
