Use common sense. Don't annoy people. Try do not break their privacy. Ask permission to do the photo. When you explain why you doing the photos they may be happy to help you. A boat or car owner may be proud to be in your photo. Same with police officers or army personnel. They love to pose ! But only if you ask permission. ;-)
If you plan to publish you need a written model release, sometimes even if is about editorials photos only. Be careful about registered trademarks icons / signs / slogans. If you sit on a private property, even with public access like a mall or ice arena, you have to obey the owner's rules. The owner can ban photography on his property.

There is no rule set in stone. Public venues are public. If and when it crosses into the Private area or sector, touching, impededing traffic, blocking access, or being a kook is the rule that most should and do follow.
That is how CCTV works. If Police and Goverment are allowed or have the right to photograph peoples in public venues, so does anybody. Do not block traffic, this includes foot traffic, bicycle, wheelchair, skateboards, traffic.
Do not be noisy or a nusance. Take the photo. Don't take the priovacy of a moment for financial gain.

There are few restrictions on what may be photographed in public view. Unless there are specific statutes or ordinances legally prohibiting you from taking a picture you are legally entitled to take photographs in public.
As stated in some of the other answers, you can generally defuse confrontations by being courteous and respectful. Always use good judgment. Always obtain a model or property release for any photograph you intend to sell.
The following Web sites (USA, AUS, UK) contain guidelines that may be printed and handed out as needed.

I'm not a lawyer so I don't know where you stand legally, but most street photography etiquette is a mix of common sense and courtesy. Always ask permission from people if you plan to publish the photos (even better, try to get a model release at the end of every shoot) and if the person asks you to send a picture, and you agree to do so, be sure to follow up. Good luck!
