When you are in public, you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy. That's why when a photographer takes a picture of Brad Pitt having coffee at an outdoor Starbucks, he doesn't have to pay Brad any money for the photo. Well in New York, they are trying to make it so that if you are with a group of people and want to take photos, you'll need a permit and an insurance liability policy.
I understand what they are trying to do with regards to professional photographers, but if one person has this happen to them and they are a tourist, you can bet your ass that New York will see a drop in tourism, although how much is debatable.
