Steve - let me understand this - If I go to Paris or Montreal ( only 3 
hours away) that I can take street photos with impunity for my own - 
nonpublished use?

I've avoided visiting Montreal for example because what am I supposed to do 
while the females of the family are clothes shopping?  Take photos has been 
my savior for these times.  That and the fact that I don't speak French 
have been my hesitations.
