I'm not sure about other countries, but in Canada, you can photograph anything in a public place providing there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

The grey area is with telephoto lenses where a photographer can invade your reasonable expectation of privacy without you knowing about it. This has been argued in Canadian courts and has been ruled illegal.
