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.
