You should not take photos of people in public?

Since when did street photography become illegal over here? I know it is much of Europe, but I was under the impression that we worked under the assumption of no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places.

Or is it just illegal for assilum seekers to do it?

In principle, targeting someone and taking photos of them should be illegal, under harassment law.
In practice, this will only apply if you are brown and don't speak very good English.

So taking photos of people in general is still fine, but going after one person and taking lots of photos of just that person isn't.
