I'm pretty sure you are talking about two different people. As in Kimmie and another girl. I'm checking on it to find out their names.
This is sort of where there may be a lot if misconception and I'm afraid someone is going to misconstrue this info. While I have to admit that I am not 100% sure of privacy laws in Mexico, in Canada and the US (I notice we are both Edmontonians) if you are standing on public property, you are fair game to have your photo taken. Admittedly, TTR is private property. But if someone gets in my grill about taking photos on the beach (which IS considered public property) and threatens to toss my camera into the ocean, I will stand my ground and that SOB will be paying dearly for it by way of a new camera or emergency dental work. To clarify, I have no intention of standing on the beach and taking photos of random people out there. In fact, I do my damnedest to try to avoid strangers messing up my pics. But I don't want some goofball coming up to me saying cameras are not permitted while taking photos of my friends in a public place. You may have every legal right to ASK someone to delete a picture of you standing in public (you can ask all day long.. no one can stop you), but there is absolutely no legal responsibility for the photographer to actually do it. I have looked into my local laws about this extensively, being an avid street photographer. Hence, my query into what is considered "public places" in Cancun.
If they want to bring Legality in it the person destroying private property, ie camera, is more guilty, then the picture taker and would have to pay for damages in court. Not condoning creep photography, which TTR allows most of the time, just a different view on the legality view.
I think people tend to think that they have to be confrontational right away which is a problem. At first, I'd suggest asking the person if they caught a picture of me or wife/girlfriend etc in a compromising position. If they did ask them to delete it. If it was incidental (ie caught in the background of the main picture I'd say you could ask them to delete it or at least trim you out of it. Beyond that, really its bad luck for you in my eyes. You should be able to accept the possibility of being in a picture if you are in the publics eye like that. Now the creeper who is actively invading your space and seeking you out to get a bad picture, that's where I think security first, people second, should intervene. But that's just my opinion, and like assholes everyone has one lol!
Just to back Derek up on his comments he has some pretty extensive camera equipment, not your typical $99 water proof throw away year after year, and with all his equipment set up you would be the one walking into the shot, not him taking your picture. And when you see Kelsey, just smile and say cheese
We were there for New Years 2014 for about a week and security was on it. I tried to take a picture of my wife and was told to put my camera away. We tried to take a group picture at PatyO's with some friends we made, fully clothed and all willing, and they shut that down until a premier guest took the photo.
Seems like I saw that same chick.lol we musta been there at the same time. And there was some serious strutting and posing as well! Go big or go home I guess, if u got 110 bathing suits why not... Personally all that changing takes away from guzzling booze! 2 each their own.
We all get that people want to take pics of their friends and spouses during vacations and sometimes it is hard to not get someone in the background of the pic those type of pics are harmless ones. At TTR for the most part most of us do not do the things we do there at home, we have careers, we have family and children. I don`t feel the no camera rule is there for just taking pics of regular things. We all like the games played around the sexy pool and at Nice Shoe, we laugh and cheer people on...the entertainment staff have a hard enough time getting people up there to do activities, to do things they normally would not do like strip down naked in front of a bunch of strangers. Its a no brainer....do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself. Unfortunately when there is alcohol involved people lose their sense of judgement as to what is right and what is wrong.
