NYTs Blog: criminalizing photography? Who did this?: the writer's advice - "For the general public, just be aware that this may happen to you. Tell them, “I’m on a public street, this is America, I can take pictures.”"
When you go shooting in public, be prepared, think about your rights and how you want to respond - especially if you are a visitor in an unknown place. Be respectful and know where you are...public areas are quite different from privately owned. Know your rights and decide ahead of time how far you are willing to go. Remember, no one can ask you to hand over your equipment, and no one can make you delete images on your cards. Try to walk away from an incident whenever possible.
Don't be afraid to file a complaint if you feel you are in the right. But, first and foremost, be safe.
