Trespass is a misdemeanor criminal offence. You could be arrested on the spot ...
That trumps getting sued but the arrest and conviction is proof you had no right of privacy release. So, you most likely would be found guilty and have a civil judgment entered against you also.
In any case you would need signed releases unless the persons were celebrities.
