Why do people get pissed off when people take their picture in public? Its not like anyone has a constant paparazzi style stalker annoying the fuck out of them.
I guess everyone assumes the pictures are going to end up being used in a negative light in a way that would garner any sort of attention. Shit, maybe someone took your picture because they thought you looked great or some photographer type artsy shit.

This is an interesting perspective . He shoots with a remote app on his phone so the subject is NEVER aware he/she is being photographed.
Not my idea of Street photography but an interesting view point.
BUT
This is NEVER happened.

This I agree with and as i have stated, if someone sees me taking their photo an WANTS to see what i shot an asks me to delete it , I would...and get portraits of subjects WITHOUT them being aware of being photographed. This can be for lots of reasons – and don’t get me wrong, eye-contact in a photograph can be a very powerful element. But it is an intentional decision to change something in that moment – to make the subject aware they are being photographed. I like to think of street photography as my way of documenting the world as it is happening around me – almost like an invisible observer.
BUT
This is NEVER happened.
But there is a point at which the street photographer has to realize that the choice to either shoot “invisibly” or “with obvious interaction” has every bit as much of an impact on the final image as the choice of what field of view, or framing, or composing, or exposure, or anything else has on a final image. This also, in my own “reasonable” framework means I’m not going to follow someone down the street, paparazzi style, just because I can legally. It also means if I ever get someone that realizes I am photographing them, and clearly wants that photo gone – I will likely delete the photo (although I have never run into this particular scenario). It also means that sometimes I will take a picture of someone that will never know I did – and not have the ability to object.
How many photographs are taken an the subject has NO IDEA the photo was taken> Would u object if someone told you later that someone took your photo ( i think there was a point made about this here or on ceo before) I would never tell someone, "hey , someone is taking your photo"But in my mind, the question is, either the photographer has the obligation to show every stranger that is in their picture the final image for approval and security that it does not violate their privacy, or they don’t.

Or perhaps we could collect data in the same way for a 'Female Pedos in Cambodia' website.
I wonder how Joon would view her pic appearing on such a site?

I think you will find that it is not illegal to take a pic of a person in the street if it is for your own personal use. If, on the other hand , you want to use it for publication you should really get the person/ people to sign a photography release form. It's standard practice for photo library photography.
Here's what wiki says about it :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_pho ... Legalities
http://photography.lovetoknow.com/Photo ... ease_Forms
An example of a photography release form.
Just print them out and ask the participant if they will sign the form for a dollar or something. That way you are not intruding on a persons privacy and they can decide if they think you will be using it for malicious purposes or not.
Note the part about " reasonable expectations".
Anyone else taking a lot candid snaps of a western man they don't know in Cambodia, fair game for serious verbal abuse IMO. People are supposed to take photos of the locals and scenery when they are on holiday, NOT other holiday makers unless they met up with them and became friends. Pretty bloody obvious really.

Not that accurate as far as professional publications go, don't want to get sued do we?Legalities[edit]
Several legal cases in the United States and other countries, for example Nussenzweig v. DiCorcia, have established that taking, publishing and selling street photography (including street portraits) is legal without any need for the consent of those whose image appears in the photos, because photography is protected as free speech and artistic expression by the First Amendment in the US and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights in the European Union.[9][dead link]
The issue of street photographers taking photos of strangers in public places without their consent (which is the definition of candid photography) for fine art purposes has been controversial in some countries, notably France,[10] even though France was the home of several well-known street photographers in past and present, for example Cartier-Bresson.[11]
While individuals may complain of privacy or civil inattention violations when they become the subject of candid photography, the work of photographers cannot be done in any other way and if candid photography were restricted then society and the future generations would lose works of art, educational images, newsworthy images, and images of people's history.[citation needed]
In France, a legal case between a street photographer and a woman appearing on a photo published in the photographer's book decreed that street photography without the consent of the subject is an important freedom in a democracy: "the right to control one’s image must yield when a photograph contributes to the exchange of ideas and opinions, deemed “indispensable” to a democratic society."[10]
From 15 March 2014 anyone taking photographs in Hungary is technically breaking the law if someone wanders into shot, under a new civil code that outlaws taking pictures without the permission of everyone in the photograph. This expands the law on consent to include the taking of photographs, in addition to their publication.

I doubt there are any laws in Cambodia with regard to what's been discussed here and I can't see how anyone could accuse someone of defamation just from taking a picture (maybe they could sue for defamation) and certainly not espionage!

SCC does appear to put a fair bit of research into his numerous posts.
Perhaps if he put as much effort into his 'career' he might one day be able to afford to buy a fucking potato.

Returning to the OP - this behaviour is endemic and nearly the source of addictive behaviour by locals in the PRC.
If you do not want to be stalked, the only solution is to not go to China. It is completely normal there.
Everywhere, all the time photos - and no one will ever ask permission. A constant culture of surveillance. They post your photo to social media,
""Look, I saw this (racist word for non-Chinese) at this place!"" Within minutes this message will migrate and be passed along and someone somewhere will come back with your name and where you work and live. This happened to me in 5 minutes by a very creepy young man on a bus trip from the nearby bigger city to my smaller town. He took my picture, got in touch with some delivery buddies of his, who told him my name and address.
Then he taps me on the shoulder and asks if my name is YYY and I work at ZZZ.
I told him I do not know that person.
Fortunately this is not the norm in other countries.
A scene from Lost in Thailand captures this as one of the leads takes a photo of a Thai couple chatting in a restaurant, and the Thais flip off the Chinese. The Chinese, of course, cannot grasp nor comprehend the issue or that their behaviour is impolite.

The Chinese government have come under pressure from other countries to stop their citizens being arses. If a Chinese citizen get reported he'll get kicked up the arse when he gets home.
Shame they can't do the same for Russians or Brits.

If you have nothing to hide, why do you mind if Chinese tourists photograph you?
