While in most countries it may be, and is, virtually always legal to take 
pictures of people in public spaces, using them outside of "personal use" 
has limitations. A collection of such pictures of persons makes up a 
database of personally identifiable information and at least in most(?) EU 
countries collecting such a database requires a justifiable reason.
