I posted a craigslist ad using photos of a woman without her permission. It was something that we had discussed. She found out and filed a police report. Gave the police all of the information she knew about me. And also contacted craigslist. What does a police report mean? Should I get an attorney? My photo was on the ad too. Which she gave the police a copy of.
What is the name of your state?
What sort of photo was it? How did you acquire the photo?
A police report means that the woman whose photo you published without her permission believes you committed a crime. The police will investigate to determine whether you did or not.
If not a crime, you at the very least violated her right to control the use of her own image commercially. A civil action potentially could be pursued against you.
If you are contacted by the police, I recommend you exercise your right to remain silent. Do not answer any questions posed to you by the police. Instead say that all questions should be directed to your attorney - and have an attorney to whom all questions can be directed.
