so he came back in the daytime to get his picture taken?

No, the resident chased him down and took the photo. The two on bikes stayed away.

this happened at 3 pm

ok, fair enough, thanks for clarifying

This person appears to be a minor. Is it legal to post his photo?

A. There are no laws against taking photos of people in public
B. He was caught breaking the law by a very good friend of mine--in that friend's backyard.
The friend asked for permission to take his picture. While we don't have a model release, there is no law being broken.

This falls under a lot of other similar legislation which boils down to (in this case) "Don't trespass illegally if you don't want your picture taken".

Photos of minors have recently been published via in-store & out of store security cameras when they've committed crimes. This is no different.

I haven't heard any complaints or seen these kids for a long while. sounds like they got scared off after finding out that neighbors were on to them. Good work scf'ers!
