where do you draw the line? How many photos am I allowed to take on the same street before it becomes systematic? How long can I stand there and film from the same spot? Who decides? On what basis do they make the decision? Why should I have the freedom to take as many photos as I want, but deny it to others? If I argue that I can photograph people in a public place, and that they have no expectation of privacy in a public place, how can I turn that argument around and say that Google or the government has no right to film or photograph me in a public place?
