Ah, then I guess it would be debtor's prison. :-)

Interesting. The burden is on the offended person to do something about it
in civil court. As long as cops aren't enforcing in on the streets, most
news photographers shouldn't have much problem. Stock photographers, on the
other hand, have always had to get releases anyway. It will be interesting
to see how photography in general is effected by this in Quebec.
