Face recognition technoloy is "out of control"

On many of the photography forums, there is a common belief that if a person is out in public, they have no expectation of privacy.

Not sure I agree with that as an absolute, but evidently many do agree with that.

If a photographer gets signal that a person does not want to get photographed, he has to respect that.

Photographers not respecting that can run into serious trouble with me. Happened twice. Being part of background clutter in somebody's pic, is one thing, but being shot at closer ranges with kind of a "portrait en passant", is something very different as long as you do not obviously exposing yourself, being part of a show on stage, for example. But today, many people think their wishes already gives them claim for you. Then only rudeness helps, else they do not learn to leave you alone.
