I've had a little bit of experience with this but I'm also not a lawyer.

My understanding of these types of photos is such...

-You can use the photos IF you're not selling anything WITH the photos. For example, you can put them INSIDE a paid members area. The only recourse the person has is asking you to take them down, which you are not required to do if it was done in a public place and there was no "expected right to privacy".

-Once you put them on a TOUR and actually USE that photo TO sell a product, that person CAN come after you for money...unless they've signed a release form.
