It’s perfectly legal to photograph strangers in public.

Depends on your legislation.

Here it’s the other way round.

Right, definitely not the same everywhere in the world. Where exactly is “here” that you’re referring to?

Which 3rd world country? Otherwise you got Brazil (is in some places), Spain, and Switzerland (Gotta love fascist money, money laundering, and nazi gold).
