I hardly ever do a straight-up link, but this post on the Legal Rights of Photographers includes a PDF that concisely and precisely explains the (presumably American) law on taking candid pictures.

One thing I’ll have to do now is figure out if there are any significant divergences from what Mr. Kantor posted in Canadian law.

Now I can take a page from Andrew and start shooting some candid stuff. Take that, people daring to go out in public: You’re Flickr fodder now!
