That is the American rule, though it may be the same elsewhere. You would be best checking to see what local laws apply to you. A very broad "rule" that is likely to be ok in most cases is that as long as the person is in a public place and doesn't have the expectation of privacy you're going to be ok in photographing them.

It's a bit difficult to give any hard and fast legal rules on a site like this because of it's global nature, and what may be true for one country may get you in all sorts of trouble somewhere else.
