In the United Kingdom, it's probably higher than that for a city dweller.

People have become much touchier.
And it's getting worse by the day. Years ago, we used to be the nice guy
with the camera.
The first blow came when the Belgian judicial system failed
catastrophically which led to the Dutroux affair in 1995. That's when
we turned into monsters who stalk innocent children on playgrounds.
Next, in 1997, an estranged British housewife lost her life in a
car-chase with a bunch of papparazzi, in Paris. That's when we became
buggers who kill beautiful innocent princesses.
Then, there was 9/11. We've been treated as potential terrorists since
then.
Last year, there was an enormous uproar, here in Germany, about Google
Streetview. The Germans and their politicians fought bitterly for the
privacy of their hedges, garden fences, and street-side curtains. In a
move to calm things down, Google kindly offered to blur the pictures of
individual houses if the people living there requested this. The German
press reported this as a *right* and an *obligation*, and since then
every Hans and Franz thinks that he can forbid all street photography in
his burrow.
What next? I really don't mind any longer. My K-5 is now taking photos
of my old radios. They look nice, sit still and don't complain.
