You ned to get a "photographer's pass" (usually for 3-5 dollars) not to get harrased by the locals and have access to several spots not available to the general public.
I have seen this in the Andean region of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.

A few years ago there was some outrage about a city in
California, USA, charging for pictures in public
places. Perhaps it was Santa Monica, but I can't be
sure now. The fact is that this is a major touristic
place and *apparently* authorities decided they could
get a share of the many postcards made in this city,
due to the public landscaping.
I am not aware of any city in Mexico requiring fees
(except for pictures taken from the air), but I do
know that certain places, again like airports, do
charge dearly for photos or video in their
installations.
