Can my next door neighbour take photos of my propertywith out n mt consent?

Taveren

Yes

Hey there

Yes, as long as he/she isn't ON your property at the time without your permission. If the photos they are taking are from either a public way (like a road or sidewalk) or from their own yard, its perfectly legal. If they go into another neighbors yard to do it, as long as the neighbor agrees that they can be in their yard, it is also legal.

yes you have no privacy in public areas. they are allowed to take pictures of your property,house, car, whatever as long as they are not your property.

They are on their property, so of course!

Mr. Goodhi

Yes they can if they are on public property or legally on private property.

milton b

Yes, but they must not trespass to do so and they may not use those pictures for commercial purposes without your consent.

Pegasus

Yes they can.
Tourists take photograph, and don't cut out all the background with properties.

I guess he could take a picture of your home from his house or from the road if he wanted to. He can't come on your property and take pictures without permission but I don't think there is any law saying he can't take pictures from a distance.

uk_pindar

yes of course ,it's a right of living in a so called free society

joan k

Yes as long as they are on their own property or public property and not on your land

California Street Cop

As long as he is on his property or in a place that the general public is allowed to be (sidewalk, street, etc...) he is OK to do it.

Is your yard a mess? I she building up evidence to get you in trouble?

I only ask, because that's the typical reason I see these issues arise. That and stalkers ; )

Of course just the same as the press could take pictures of your your property without consent its called freedom.

Can we assume you are talking about the UK?

From the Information Commissioners website:-

Q: My neighbour has installed a CCTV camera and it is pointing towards my house/garden. Is this a breach of the Data Protection Act?
If your neighbour is a residential property not operating for commercial purposes, the answer is no. The Data Protection Act protects the personal information processed by organisations. When CCTV is installed for personal domestic use it is not regulated by the Data Protection Act. If you are concerned about the use of domestic CCTV it may be worth contacting your local police. If your neighbour is a business then they will need to comply with the Act. For more information, contact our helpline or read our CCTV code of practice.

If they can use CCTV then photos are a shoo-in

i have been in my house for sixteen years always thought getting into my driveway was very tight ,then last year by chance i found out that my neighbour had half my drive.which he refuses to give up because it would mean he would not be able to park out side my drive so i have a lawyer now and had the land surveyed and 3.5 square metres is what he has the lawyer has requested he re move the fence he put up three weeks ago while the land has been indispute since last year.i am a nervous wreck as this man drinks heavy .he has also vandalised our car .by putting a screw in my tyre and then a fortnight later he put a three and half drill bit in my tyre and the garage man who removed it asked if we had enemies.and also said if we had been on the motorway doing 70 we would not be here.he came to my door in august last year and assaulted me while my husband was in the toilet ; we are 70 year old pensioners and very scared .please help us .someone......
