Sadly the days of asking for permission are long gone. Every day we're recorded on dozens of CCTV camera, car dash-cams (and similar worn by bikers / cyclists), traffic cams, police severance cameras (in larger urban towns / cities) and so on. You can't walk into a single shop nor office without being recorded. you can't even talk a walk outside, nor a drive, without the chance of being recorded.
I'm not saying it's right, but that is how it is these days.
