The legality of photographing
public spaces and places.

Here is an excellent article on this
matter with more links to more info:

Basically, it states if you are in a public space and you want to photograph anything, you may.  There are a couple of restrictions, mostly about invading someone's privacy that is not a public figure, putting someone in a 'bad light' that is not proper, etc..  Common sense kind of restrictions.

A primer on invasion of privacy:
