No, they don't ask for a release or even ask if you have one. I think the intent of the photo has something to do with whether a release is needed or not. Otherwise, all street photography would have the same problem.

This means photos of our pets (cats and dogs) and kids abounding everywhere. -- Bruce Tuesday, August 28, 2007, 3:30:20 PM, you wrote: TC> This is none of my business, I know.
