Is it against the law to take picture of a car with out owners consent?

It's generally not against the law to take a picture of a car in public, even without the owner's consent.

Here's why:

* Public property: Cars parked on public streets or in public parking lots are considered part of the public landscape. You have the right to photograph what is visible in public spaces.

* No expectation of privacy: There's generally no expectation of privacy for objects in plain view on public property.

However, there are some exceptions:

* Trespassing: If you're on private property without permission, taking a photo of a car could be considered trespassing.

* Illegal activities: Taking a photo of a car involved in illegal activity could be considered aiding or abetting that activity.

* Privacy concerns: While it's generally legal to take a photo of a car in public, there could be privacy concerns if the photo captures a person in a compromising position.

Best practice: It's generally a good idea to be respectful of people's privacy when taking photos in public. If you're unsure, it's always best to ask for permission.

Remember: Laws vary by location. It's always a good idea to check the specific laws in your area.
