Photographer's Rights?

So I stumbled across this article on Slashdot this morning:

Slashdot | Photographers Face Ejection Over Lenses

And it brings a good question to light:

What rights do photographers have? Where is the line drawn between public and private? What "moral" lines should we not cross? Have you ever taken a photo you considered to be questionable?

I for one am printing out the following documents and will be carrying them with me in my backpack for all relevant future shoots:

Photographer Rights:

and
http://www.krages.com/ThePhotographersRight.pdf

Property Release:
Digital Photography Applied - Property

Basic Model Release:
NYIP - Model Release Form - A Basic Model Release Form for Use in Photography Sessions and Photo Shoots

Title 42 Description:
US CODE: Title 42,1983. Civil action for deprivation of rights


What is your take on it?
