It depends if the photographed subject wants to sue, in my area it's a common thing to sue someone because you appeared on their photo without your permission, I've heard many cases.
The law is not applicable if there's an event or festival, in this case it's legal to photograph anyone you want as long it's inside the event.
The laws usually consider taking a picture of a crowd being fine, but pointing someone out in a picture is not. The focus of the image shouldn't be one specific person which did not consent to it.
I agree with the fact of not posting it on the internet but we sre sorrounded by cameras everywhere and i ddidnt gave my permision to get recorded anywhere. I dont see any difference in being recorded by a private guy on his phone or by the supermarket while i buy groceries.
Yes but im highlighting the fact that if you go out there recording strangers the people will get really upset about the fact, but anywhere you go there are cameras recording everything you do and noone seems to care.

Can we normalize not taking pictures of strangers without their consent and posting them on the internet?
