Photography is not a crime.
You do not have a right not to be photographed in public.
Nonetheless, photographers should be careful to introduce themselves and ask permission of potential subject. It’s polite and helps avoid difficulties.

I do believe that making audio or video recordings of someone without their permission is not legal.
