As a rule, one cannot take a picture of an individual, where there is reasonable expectation of privacy (i.e. private property). If said individual is on public property/transportation, he/she is "fair game" according to most states' laws governing photography. I would say the best thing to do would be to ask the potential subject's permission. That would be common courtesy, plus save you a lot of grief down the road.

depends on where they are
in their own house or a place believed to be non-public.= No privacy concerns.......
In public = Yes
Restaining order can change any of these.
different states have different laws regaurding this.
It is in what stae it was recorded in or picture was taken in.
Check the laws in your own state.
If purpose can be shown for injury or in intent of injury.
there can be heavy fines or jail time.

If the subject is in public space and you have a right to be where you are, snap away
