Local celeb kisses cabbie, spreads eagle. Cabbie takes pic.

Cabbie gets arrested.

I guess it is extortion. And as we aren't a civil law country, I suppose the "victims" poor actions are beside the point.

Still seems a little weird to me. What say you?

How is it extortion to sell a picture he had a right to take?

If it had been any other city I might agree with the "celebrity" in question. But to arrest a cabbie for taking pictures of a drunk chick, flashing her junk, in the city of New Orleans is a goddamned travesty! God help those poor schmucks at next year's Mardi Gras parade if the cops decide to enforce this one across the board!

I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.

She was not in public. I'm not sure he had such a right to take it - she did not give him permission.

But yeah, I kind of hope he gets off for some reason.

Cops can search your cellphone when you get in a car. Can't a cabbie get some pix of the happy taco when his passenger has it on display voluntarily?

It would really help to understand the story. Apparently the "victims" identity has thus far been withheld. But this being New Orleans, I expect this info will eventually be leaked for the right price.

Which makes this story even harder to accept for the cabby (being it is in the most corrupt jurisdiction in our union).

Yes, I think it's extortion.
Yes, I believe the woman is an idiot and I don't sympathize with her.
Who kisses a cab driver?! She has problems.
Taking pictures of someone in that altered state is morally wrong (so is not keeping your skirt down if she was being salacious <purposefully>), but the real actionable WRONG here is attempting to extort cash from her for the pics of her fancy.
Never get drunk with anyone you wouldn't trust your social security number to.

Voyeurism. In New Orleans. That's a riot. "Excuse me honey. I'm doing a photoessays for my journalism class at LSU and I'm taking pictures of ladies butts here on Bourbon Street. All I need you to do is lift your skirt and I'll only use your first name when I describe our encounter if you'd be so kind as to tell me your name, darlin..." :twisted: cops standing 20 feet away enjoying the journalism student's commitment to his academic success.

I would argue that he was merely presenting relevant evidence for his battery civil suit, and offering a settlement.

I could go two ways on this.

1) If she's not in public, she's in his property. Certainly if you're in my house (or car), I have a right to take any picture of you that I could on the street.

2) One argument anti-smoking-in-restaurants use is that since the establishment is open to the public, it has to be treated as public space for certain purposes and people have the right to breath smokeless air. I don't agree with this argument, but surely this would apply to a taxi as well.

I would say that your argument as posed might work in New Orleans.
