    you were photographing them as a tourist (I guess) ... most Gardai will happily pose for tourists.

    I take photos of people in the city a bit... and I've only once been asked to delete. I think it's because I am reasonably discreet, and try to have some tact. I've seen people stick a giant wtf lens in people's faces, or blind them with a flash, only to be surprise when the person is antagonised.

    I will often ask a person if it's ok to take a photo of them if I can... especially if it's a shop of something. Lots of shopkeepers are delighted to be photographed, and it's a nice record I think. I know it's not the popular modern photo-journalism style, but I like the old fashioned style too, where people pose, and look at the camera.

    The one time I was asked to delete.... I was being a bit of a muppet. I think I walked across the middle of a giant chess game, obliviously taking a photo of the pieces. Not realising there was a game and players going on. They were understandably annoyed.

    Clarification, I did not describe them as unsavoury, I took those words from the guy who took the image. I left it in though to see if it makes a difference if the person is friendly or unsavoury, if they want their image deleted

    I don't think that the photographer should be allowed to represent the subject as unsavoury, either by using that phrase or by publishing a photograph that gives that impression.
