It is not a criminal offense to do so, but using the photo of another without their permission MAY render the used liable civilly, for money damages or to an injunction to stop the use. If the photo was taken in a studio by a photographer for instance, the photographer knows he needs a signed "release" authorizing use of the photo. These can be a general release for any purpose or for only specific purposes. People have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" if they are out in public areas, say, on a public sidewalk. Photos taken there may be used freely. Many photographers would ask for a release anyway, to prevent problems.
