Can I take picture of a stranger in public?

Alternatively, if a photographer takes a picture of me in public, is there anything I can do to protect my image from being circulate etc?

of cos you can take pictures of strangers (if they don't know!!)

imaging taking a picture of Lee Kuan Yew on the streets, why not? BUt...he's not a stranger.

I think first, one needs to define 'stranger'

Just approach them...and tell them politely if you can take their pics
