If you are in public you can look at anyone you want, and your camera lens can record whatever your eye can see...the eye cannot be trespassed and neither can the lens. 👁️
There Is No Right To Privacy In Public Places!
Privacy is “the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by others.” So It would be objectively unreasonable to expect privacy on a city street or a crowded subway.
Therefore, the courts have interpreted this to mean that the privacy right of a person doesn’t apply unless that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Put more directly, you have given up any expectation that you cannot be “observed or disturbed by other people” when entering a public space or being in a position where others can see you in a public space.
The practical result of that legal doctrine is that street photographers can take a picture of anything they can see from a public area, even if the photo’s subject is on private property. For example, a photographer would be free to photograph a couple sitting on a restaurant patio or inside the restaurant through a window as long as the photographer is on public property. 👀
