Everybody has the right to respect for his or her privacy. The journalist cannot photograph a person without his or her consent or take photographs with a telephoto lens without the subject's knowledge. Journalists must renounce all forms of harassment (intrusion in the home, pursuit, stalking, telephone harassment etc.) of people who have asked to be left alone. In public areas, photographing and filming of private persons is only allowed without permission if the persons are not specially focused upon. On the other hand, it is allowed to photograph and film persons who appear at public events.
