My title may be: Journalist, Investigative Journalist, Reporter, Stringer, Photographer or Camera. I gather news and information for research and publication. All visible, invisible, audible or inaudible frequencies persons may emit or transmit can be recorded without their knowledge by any available technology while they are present outside of private places or spaces, or using voice technology. All light from infrared to ultraviolet, emitted or reflected may be freely recorded with available technology. Presence in public is implied consent to be recorded without warrant or a personally signed release, or consideration of privacy. Any open door, window or curtain through which a person may be seen or heard, creates the implied consent to be recorded from a public place. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information -- not a patient on scene of a crime, accident or disaster. Your act of contacting me in person directly or indirectly by mail or agent is your consent for me to record or gather information on you, which I am free to store under journalistic shield or publish in social media or sell for publication. You may walk away now. PRIVACY NOTICE
