Photos at public events in which there are people.

Every time you enter a commercial facility (WalMart, Costco, McDonalds, etc. ), a government facility (courthouse, post office, etc.) or even walk down a public sidewalk, your photograph is being recorded on video. It would seem anyone worrying about someone with a camera/cell phone at a public event would be over the top.

Not so fast with the name calling. The indoors of a museum may or may not be public property. That would be the determining factor. How much expectation of privacy does one have inside a public museum? None, within reason. If the museum is a private building the owners and their assigns are the determining factor on whether photos are even permitted inside. In some cases, photography within the confines of a public museum is also regulated. So, requesting a person not photograph someone may be a legitimate request.

Click on each state to compare and contrast with others. Had found a really great graphic map of the US that allowed quicker access to info. A search with the words "state by state photography laws" will give a lot of websites with lots of varying info..... ergo, my confusion.

Cartier-Bresson photographed people for decades in mainly Paris but other places as well. He was chased several times by the unhappy but he didn't bother with asking for a signed release in his street photography. Today, I'd say try to avoid children that can be identified or it looks like they are the main subject and not just incidental. Releases are definitely necessary if the photos are used for commercial, endorsement or other promotional purposes. News and educational publication of people photos don't generally need releases.

You've lost some cred here, LAS. I specifically indicated that these children, as special needs children, had protections that others might not have regarding being photographed while under the auspices of a school field trip. Yet you seem to know more than the professionals protecting these children. Perhaps you know Texas law as well.
As far as the teacher being a liar, idiot or ignoramus. Prove it.....or remain one yourself.

You don’t need a release form to photograph anybody anywhere. A release form is only necessary for the commercial publication of the persons image and the onus is on the publisher.
How many times a day is your photo taken by security cameras without your permission?
However, that does not protect you from other laws like trespassing, Peeping Tom, child porno or angry mothers.

There were also far fewer starving lawyers in those days, as well.

Absolutely not... She was correct. This was not a public place, and children should never be photographed without patents permission, especially the handicaped.
And ANYONE can ask you not to photograph them, even in a public place, and you SHOULD respect their wishes. Do you have to legally, maybe not. But it could save your camera and you from damages.

These places do so and can, for security reasons, just as you probably do in your own house. These are not public places, they are private.

You may be technically correct. But, without a release, if one is needed, you can't even show the photo to a friend or post it here. It would be for your eyes only...... What good is that?

What an absolutely ridiculous comment, obviously made by someone totally ignorant of many school policies.
I live on a small island in the pacific, some would say a third world country and very backward, but even here we have rules and regulations regarding photographing our children and use of the images when under supervision of their schools.
