That said, if I was shooting something like a barn from public property and the owner told me to stop, I would try to talk to them and explain the situation. If I just laughed it off and acted like some know-it-all photographer, I'd feel like a big pile of jerk.
This may be true in the states, but Canada has no expressed "expected Privacy" law in place (never has, thanks to the british legal system we inherited). If youre on public property, and it's visible from the street, it's fair game
