Whatever the law is, Bill's view that his 'right' to take a photograph takes precedence over and individual's request not be photographed is just plain wrong.

What Bill wrote...
" If I sense somebody really does not want to be photographed, I will seldom try."
The problem is that if you want to take an unposed photograph of someone you can't ask them if they are happy to have their photograph taken. Do that and you get a posed photograph. If I'm taking a photograph of someone and they see what I'm doing and object then I don't take the photograph. Simple as that. Like Bill I can only think of two incidents over the last 10 years or so where someone really objected - and in one of those cases I wasn't taking the photograph they imagined.
