34. The presence of cameras everywhere

is completely irrelevant to the two points I made, neither of which had anything to do with an expectation of privacy (which, by the way, is a criminal concept, having to do with the Fourth amendment, not the First Amendment:

1. Decent human beings don't act that way. Neither of the two involved were mindless cameras. They were individuals who were intentionally photographing individuals who asked not to be photographed.

2. Individuals have rights with respect to the use of their images by others. Those are balanced against first amendment rights when you are talking about a matter of public concern - but the first amendment has very little to do with idiots appropriating the images of private individuals who are not engaged in matters of public concern for their own gain and amusement.
