Not to be a real downer, but it might be wise to be careful about posting Sandy Hook or Gunnison Beach pictures online without the permission of the people in them. It just isn't worth the risk.

Gunnison is in New Jersey, where they now have a strong law against posting, or even exchanging, pictures showing a person's private parts without that person's permission to display them. It's actually a crime that carries a penalty of five years in a New Jersey prison. (not a nice place for a long vacation )

The law is the result of a Rutgers student jumping to his death from the George Washington Bridge because his room mate hooked up a webcam that allowed a few people down the hall to watch him having sex with another guy. The court case that convicted the roommate was one huge hassle that made global news. You can easily google to find the story, and the new law that followed.

I think that you should be careful in your statements about this law. Obviously you're not a lawyer as your (mis) application of this law is much too broad brushed. This would prevent publication in sporting magazines or news magazines or news broadcasts of anyone that had not given their permission. The law is meant to keep private things private. Behavior and activities on public property don't appear to be protected by this law. User 'spr' seems to have a better handle on the situation as stated in post #144 in this thread.
