I've stopped reading this, because it's so full of doom and gloom now, it offers more reason to leave your camera at home than to take it out. If I want to take photos where I know people are around, I wear a big green hi-visibility jacket and make it really obvious what I am doing. I've yet to be asked any questions - although I'd admit to trying *not* to have people in the frame anyway, as it's the buildings and roads that I'm trying to capture - they probably that I'm working for the local Council or something.
