Once the temperatures start to rise, everyone wants to be outside acting up and having some fun. Of course, that sometimes can mean getting into a little mischief. While that's all well and good if nobody finds out about it, what you should be worried about is whether or not you unknowingly snap a photo somewhere you're not supposed to be.

You may find this hard to believe, but there are certain places in New Jersey where it's illegal for you to be seen in a photo with. For example, you're not allowed to randomly snap selfies on a protected government military base. Don't be going ham with your new iPhone 15 Pro Max while visiting somewhere like Fort Dix. That's a HUGE no-no.

Illegal places to conducts a photoshoot

I can't tell you how many people I know that have gotten photoshoots done on railroad tracks. While none of them got in trouble, it's technically against the law to do so. For one, most train tracks run through private property. You're trespassing if you organize a photoshoot there.

We shouldn't even have to mention the safety hazards posed by hanging around on the tracks. Trains can move quickly and quietly, making it difficult to judge their speed and distance. Soooo many people have been seriously injured or even killed while trespassing on tracks to take photos.

If you're unsure whether you're allowed to take photos in a particular area, it's best to seek permission or refrain from taking pictures to avoid any potential legal issues.

While you're at it, make sure you don't have an illegal name on your baby name list, either.
