> “consent” implies permission, and the word permission implies some type of authority. In the case of photography in public there is no authority so no consent is needed.

The authority is over their own person. If I'm in public you don't get to touch grab my ass because "in the case of ass-grabbing in public there is no authority so no consent is needed."

> However, I think there may be an ethical dilemma if the picture is unintentionally sexually suggestive.

Think about why there's a dilemma. Can that same reasoning apply to other kinds of photos? And who should get to decide what's sufficiently suggestive? You or the subject?

Does my authority over my own person extend to denying you permission to transmit photons into my retina?
