  • * * It is legal to film anyone in a public place because the US Supreme Court has ruled there is "no expectation of privacy" in public places. This does not carry over into public restrooms as there is an expectation of privacy in such places (this exception may not apply in open areas where people are not in a state of undress).

It will depend on lots of factors. Commercial filming for advertising or movies will normally require a permit. If you have to inconvenience the public, you may have to get some permits and pay for crowd control and security. You may also need film releases for people who are on screen. Check the local laws for the place you are going to be.

For news and private use there is normally no license required.
