Hi Dustin-

I agree with David. I'm not a lawyer, but I've worked in news and documentary filmmaking for the past 15 years. As long as the people you are shooting are in a public space, and you're not de-faming their character, I wouldn't worry about it. If someone objects to you about being filmed, I would make sure they don't end up in the final cut, though. If your subject makes contact or interacts with anyone, do your best to get their permission (in writing) to use them in your film.

Again, this is not legal advice, just my own MO :-)

Regards,
Dave J
