Your post didn't touch on the case (or I didn't understand fully) where the person/party recording will use that recording for profit. I think of like "candid camera" type shows.

Even though they don't need permission to film the random public, do they need permission if they're then going to profit off the footage? Is this why everyone around the "mark" they're messing with has their face blurred, or is that just a CYA thing?

This would be different than just filming someone for a project or whatever that won't be used in a commercial setting.

At least for US productions, all candid camera shows where the person isn’t just in the background, they signed a waiver. Any of the radio shows where they call someone clandestinely are just actors - I don’t think there’s any legal way to do it otherwise.
