I just came from shooting the Canada Grand Prix, and I did lots of people shots with neither permission nor hassle, though I'll admit I wasn't so bold as I am on the streets of New York. I'm not particularly unruly, but in New York I know for a fact that my work is considered protected speech under the First Amendment. Elsewhere I display my friendly side a little more openly and no one seems to care.
