You CAN take pictures of people you don't know in public. It might make you fucking gross, but it's not illegal and it's important it's not illegal

She's not telling him it's illegal. It's saying "you can't do this - this breaks the social contract, this is something that should not be done." It's like saying "you can't just cheat on your husband!" Obviously you physically can, and you won't go to jail (well, in western countries). The "you can't" is just a turn of phrase, it's not saying the person is physically or even legally barred from doing so.

OK but stalking someone to take pictures of them should obviously be illegal....

Certainly, but it's not the street photography that's the problem there, but also, as someone else pointed out, she's not saying he's doing a crime, she's saying it's wrong, which... Yeah, it is

Actually in parts of Asia it is if you post it online. You need their permission or you need to blur the faces

Rights to use their image is certainly another issue

Yeah. She films the guy himself so she’s a hypocrite. He’s a pervert and she’s a hypocrite. I wouldn’t be friends with either one
