Yeah, I've been hassled photographing both buildings and people.
In London, walking up and down the Thames shooting everything from the Tower Bridge, London Eye, Millenium Bridge, all the icons and millions of tourists photographing them all year around. Couple of cops bailed me up as I was shooting Parliament House/Big Ben. I was on the far side of the river with a wide-angle lens doing a landscape shot and they were concerned I was a terrorist? You could get more detailed information standing on the footpath right under it with a mobile phone camera. They were cool and left me alone when they saw what I was shooting.
Also got hassled by security guards shooting people out the front of a Wallabies game. I was doing a photography course and the mandate was "Patriotism". I was in a public place and well within my rights. Still got hassled.
