They’ve got as much right to be there as you do!

> taking pictures with one in the background without consent

They don’t need your consent!

Can do vs Should do.

Yes, you can stand in the middle of a narrow path and use a selfie stick to take photos. No, you shouldn't do that if it inconveniences everybody around you. Doing so anyways makes you a self-centered dickhead.

How to make people like you: "The law doesn't forbid me from doing this to you!"

Right up there with "I'm not touching you!"

You’re not ‘doing’ anything to someone by taking a photo in public with them in the background. You don’t have reasonable expectations and it’s fine for reasonable people to disregard them.

It's one thing to shove a camera in someone's face. It's another for people to have any reasonable expectation of not getting into even the background of a photo when walking down a city street or in some other busy place.

Well, yes. I'm not touching you right now.

And if you're offended by that, you are being egregiously unreasonable. Exactly the same is true of the picture-taking "concern".
