Bullshit. Ever walk up to someone and stuff a camera in their face? They'll tell you to fuck off and delete that shit, maybe smash your camera, and maybe even smash you
I called the police on a "Nicotine Nazi" one evening in my California town after he stuffed a camera in my face and called me a 'criminal' (if he only knew...) for ROLLING (not smoking) a cigarette on a Starbucks patio and was informed by the police it IS legal to take 'portrait photos' without the subject's permission (assuming they stay out of arms reach), and further (in case you were wondering why bullying is so prevalent) that you can say anything you want short of threats of violence and it IS NOT "assault". Our right to privacy IS being codified away.
