In Wyoming, street photography is generally legal. This means that you can legally take pictures of people in public places, such as streets, sidewalks, and parks, as long as you are not trespassing or trying to hide your presence. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
- Expectation of privacy: The law also recognizes the concept of “expectation of privacy.” This means that people have a right to privacy in certain areas, such as their homes or businesses. If a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, then it may be illegal to photograph them without their consent.
- Photography of minors: Wyoming law prohibits the intentional viewing or production of a photograph of a minor in a state of nudity or engaged in sexual conduct. This law applies even if the photograph is taken in a public place.
- Intimate parts: Wyoming law also prohibits the intentional taking of a photograph of another person’s intimate parts without their consent. This law applies even if the photograph is taken in a public place.
