It's an invasion of privacy. You never know what someone will do with the recordings/films. Also, it's rude to not ask first for people's permission. In some places, it's against cultural rules or even the law.

@SW-User No expectation of privacy in public.

@MrBrownstone Yes, you take a risk when you go out in public and can't expect total privacy.
Just answering the original question though -- which was why people hate being photographed by strangers. You never know where those photos/films will end up. Also, there are native tribes that used to believe that a piece of the soul is stolen when you photograph them. They used to forbid cameras on certain reservations, for this reason.
