Let's list all the other things you don't have a "right" to do in public... speak, blink, eat food, walk, cry, chew gum, laugh.

Just like photography, there is no law against doing any of those things. And a cop can tell you to move along and get out of an area (rightly or wrongly) wether or not you have a camera in your hand.
