Does anybody know of any specific instances of
lawsuits stemming from photographs in a public place?

While you seem to have quite positive feelings about
this, it seems to me that people are in some ways
freer than they have ever been.  Take the internet,
for example.  There has never in history been such a
medium which would allow an individual to reach out to
so many millions of people across the world.  That is
a very powerful freedom in itself.

Your minor quibbles about the government in your
previous post in this thread would be more than enough
to land you in a jail cell (or worse) in many other
places in the world.  Take a look at what is going on
in places like China and Afghanistan, and the United
States seems like a very groovy place indeed,
shortcomings and all.
