Generally speaking people to not have an expectation of privacy in public locations, so you may take images of them. You may make images public in ways that do not break any of their rights. Using it for commercial gain for example would likely violate their right of publicity. Such rights vary a bit from state to state. Depending on what other actions are associated with your picture taking, harassment or stalking laws may apply.
