I do very little street photography, mainly because this guy seems way too common in the USA these days (you have to love the ending though). I've never had an interaction like this, but some folks in public seem to have had the same bluster and defensive energy when I've been out shooting, and I have been on the receiving end of some unhappy/mildly aggressive banter. Some of the comments posted are interesting also. Especially the advocate for "privacy in public". I guess he doesn't know what those words actually mean. The USA is pretty much a surveillance society these days (traffic cams, retail security, NSA, google/facebook cookies, red light cams, ATM cams etc etc), I have trouble understanding peoples defensiveness to a guy on a corner with a camera. Do people really think they have "privacy" in the 2014 version of the USA? Certainly me and this news guy aren't the only ones who get attitude. How do others deal with this when shooting.
