I do believe that making audio or video recordings of someone without their permission is not legal.
Pretty sure you can record/photograph anyone in a public place.
What happens in a public place may be photographed, filmed, or recorded, as long as no effort is made to conceal the actions.
Many police who have taken away folks’ recording devices, be it cellphones with cameras or video cams or whatever, have had t heir hands slapped for their efforts.
If that were true, every business with a security camera would be criminal. Publishing them without permission may of may not be illegal. Definitely not if they are celebrities though, or the paparazzi would be out of business.

agreed if you want a hoot go to times square, nyc and take a picture of the sony electronic billboard. he will see you and take a picture of you. very cool.
Not so. Check out most department stores, or most stores for that matter. Not only cameras inside, but outside as well. Same with banks, gas stations, etc. Not to mention red light camera intersections. My neighbor worked at the local police station and said those red light cameras can see every pimple on your face inside a car; they're spying into people's cars. You have no right to not be recorded in a public space; just not to be published or used for commercial reasons. Use of a telephone is a different circumstance.
It is if the subject is in a public place where anyone can wander by and see them. Using such photos in a commercial way is a different matter though.
