First, no it's not. Second, in public you have ZERO expectation of privacy, same as when you are on the business property of others.
I have every expectation that my rights and liberties shall be observed and revered in public. I have way above zero expectation to privacy in public. You don't get to steal my identity, for example, because I am in public.
I have a reduced expectation, not zero. In that if I commit a crime right in front of a cop, that cop has got all reason to exercise force against me. But you are not unfettered, there is always restraint against government force.
