I live in California and was wondering if it is legal to walk down the street and take random pictures of people.
Are these people also on a public street or is your camera peeping thru windows of private property (houses, shops, restaurants)?
If the person you are photographing has a "reasonable expectation of privacy" you are breaking the law as written here: http://law.onecle.com/california/civil/1708.8.html
I gave you the specific california law that deals with photographing people in public. What you do with the information is up to you.
