"Street Photography"

I enjoy viewing street photography (unposed photos of people doing what they do), but have great difficulty doing this kind of photography myself for both equipment and ethical reasons. I am uncomfortable pointing an SLR in someone's face (but may have solved that by prefocusing a Rolleiflex at waist level). More importantly, I also value my right to privacy, and am reluctant to invade someone else's right to privacy by photographing them without their consent, making a print, and displaying it somewhere. Any thoughts on this?
