Default Street Photography: What dont you take photos of?

I dont take photos of homeless, druggies, preformers when asking, and petty criminals and drunks.
I DO however take photos of anyone with a camera.
What about you?

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough," - Robert Capa

But while his photographs are worthy, I would not advise follwing in his footsteps.

Robert Capa stepped on a land mine in Vietnam. He also came quite close to being shot on numerous occaissions. Someone else might fill in more details, though if you are interested in him and his images, he is quite the interesting photographer to read about.

Good list Marko. I would also include drunks and petty criminals.

Most of my street photography is devoid of 2 legged critters. I figure that pointing a camera at someone,without their approval , is pretty rude.I don't want MY photo taken when I'm out and about and figure most folks feel the same way. If you do ask first then all you get is a badly posed "Year Book" type of shot.
