Our lawyers are always watching their backs and always making sure they tell us what would keep them safe but it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Like at the Florida bike show, you telling me everyone on a bike signed a release. or any big show, impossible.

Or all the guys from the 911 movie, signed releases.

I understand if they come to a venue and you have signs all over the place saying by entering you will be on camera. Ok. But public places?

Anybody here know?
You do not need model releases to shoot on public property. That is why it is called Public Property and not Private.

Any first year law school student could tell you that.
