legal due to them having rights to their photos

Well, this is the USA with First amendment rights. I heard that in Europe, there are more privacy protections, but in the US, people commonly take pictures of people in public.

There are cases of police brutality in the US where people recorded videos of the entire thing, and it was spread online, and it was mostly not taken down. I'm not sure if they actually have "right" to their photos, as Europeans do.

In Europe you can photograph/film public scenes legally and if it happens that a person is recognizable on it they have only limited recourse, but specifically taking photos of faces and publishing them is another matter. I imagine this isn't so different in the US.
