I use an old film SLR with manual focus for street photography, mostly around urban poor areas, and I don't hesitate to aim and take some time manually focusing and double checking settings to make sure the exposure is right. I also stoop down for better angles if I wanna get to the level of druggies sitting against telephone poles or kids playing in the street.
Pic related, Canon A-1 and 70-210 f/4 lens for daytime. Also use a 50mm f/1.4. If I get questioned by the police or whatever, I just whip out my University of the Philippines ID and say I'm with photojournalism.
Either way, the point is to be confident. It's not like you're doing anything wrong.
