Quite right.
No way of knowing what his complete collection contains.

Yet I'm still on the side of defending the photographer's right to  
photograph on public streets.

The "behave well" goes both ways.
Have those raising the ruckus taken the time to get to know the  
photographer; his intentions, his work? Or do they just assume he has  
some nefarious agenda?

The most infuriating incident that occurred to me was just that: the  
person complaining attacked me for being a pervert without even  
asking about my credentials, work, intentions, etc. She went right to  
the police with name calling and accusations without cause.
