If a girl can wear leather pants like that, I don't see why not lol.

In all seriousness, yea it is illegal. Notice that they never go for the face because that automatically means lawsuit.

In Costa Rica is not a big deal I think, there's not too much internet laws. If there's any.

Sure it's legal, what do you think the paparazzi do their entire lives?

If you're in public, it is public.

That's what I think, public is public, but it seems like a good way to get in a fight.

What if girl is a minor ?

i'm sure she's wearing those pants because they are very comfortable, not for attention.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think it matters how you are portreying them. If you took that girl's ass and put it on a porn site, then she'd probably be able to sue. If you took it and just put it on a site called Doug's Hot Chicks At The Mall, then I think it's fine because it's true.

Not true.
Paparazzi can film entertainers and such because these people are in the public eye. There's a different/higher standard for private citizens.

Right of Privacy
The laws on the right of privacy vary from country to country. Under U.S. law, the right of privacy is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as:

1. The right to personal autonomy. The U.S. Constitution does not explicitly provide for a right of privacy or for a general right of personal autonomy, but the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that a right of personal autonomy is implied in the "zones of privacy" created by specific constitutional guarantees.

2. The right of a person and the person's property to be free from unwarranted public scrutiny or exposure. -- Also termed right to privacy.

So, if we are to understand that the law upholds our right to be "free from unwarranted public scrutiny or exposure," then it would seem paparazzi are not allowed to do what they do. There is, however, a loophole in the law. This loophole comes into the picture if you are legally defined as a public figure.

I often see videos of these being pulled down due to legal threats or the person in the video found out about it.

Most of the case, the owners keep it online as long as possible and never really get any legal threats. The videos are disturbing because it might discourage these girl from wearing tight pants again if they know they can be filmed.

How about the old Candid camera TV show ?

I think the people they filmed had to sign releases to air the film. Youtube is sort of like TV.

What happens if the guy filming gets caught by some big bad dude that's pissed this guy is filming his GF/wife/mother,whatever... and beats the shit out of the guy ?

A jury might go very light on him.

I'd guess he filmed it on a mobile phone, it's probably hard to tell between recording and walking along reading/typing a text message.

If it's by mobile phone, how did he get the front shots of the girl in the first video without even being noticed or not walking backwards? Personally, I think they just have a large bag and hide the camera in a favorable position for recording.
