No. Citizens have the same right to video tape as the media has. A person does not have to give consent to be taped when they have no legal expectation of privacy.
Another View: The above is only PARTLY true. Even if you give your permission, if the video-taping is done for any commercial or money making reason, you must obtain a signed release from EVERYONE who may appear on that tape, authorizing you to make commercial use of their image. If not, you must edit out their identifiable features before showing the tape.
Also: Without first obtaining the permission of the property owner, you may not commercially videotape ON private property.
