I believe this situation is more Urban-oriented/Metropolitan oriented? I haven't had any problems with semi-urban, rural, semi-rural places.

In the former kind of places, one can very often discern an extra-legal
aura
of security, such as the disgraceful scene some months back when a
motorist
traveling south (Mumbaikars will know what I mean) on Peddar Road was harassed for taking a picture or two of Antillia from across the road. Picture taking there is totally and completely a legal act, of course,
but
harassment by police is not always worth going to court about. In that
case,
the media took an interest, which can be better than going to court sometimes. The trouble is that Wikipedians cannot always expect to be
able
to raise a media fuss, or to expect sympathy or empathy expressed in the media. But I must say that the media is taking a lot more of a positive
and
encouraging view of Wikimedian activities nowadays (a kudos to you-know-who).

The Doll's Museum in New Delhi used to prohibit photography!
There are lot of places including museums and temples globally which prohibit photography or require special permissions. The issue is prohibiting when there is no clear prior notice.
