Photographing Wellesley Homes A Crime?

Interesting blog, especially in this digital age we all live in, regarding a complaint to the Wellesley Police Department regarding someone taking photos of a resident’s house…

Realtors often take photos of homes for comps; appraisers do as well;

As the photographer who blogs “Is Photography a Crime in Wellesley?” notes, as long as the photographer doesn’t step onto your property uninvited, it is not a crime for someone to photograph your home.
