In general, at least in the USA and UK, you do not need permission to photograph in public places such as the street though of course it may often be polite to make a request.

Model releases are needed if you want to use recognisable photographs of people commercially, for example in advertisements. They are generally not necessary (but may be asked for) for most editorial work, or for news photography, although privacy laws in some countries may require bystanders to have their faces covered or blurred.
still tricky, cause documentaries can be done for commercial purposes...
