Without trying to sound negative I'd just like to add my 2 cents worth, but please understand i'm not trying to put you down, but in my view you are taking on a very dangerous activity for very little return. To get "good" shots in this sort of thing you need balls of steel, it is something I would never try and I do have the right equipment. I am far too old to be spending time in gaol (yes, thats how it's spelt outside of America). But if that's your thing, go for it but be very very careful, and I hope you can run fast. Good luck.

While your concern is appreciated, it is completely unfounded. I've discussed this topic briefly in the
Ranger Adventure thread, but David E says it so eloquently in the comments about one of his pics on Flickr (In case it's not clear from his Flickr, David is a master of the candid pantyless uppie, his images are often reposted without credit here on these forums):

Bear_8 asks: "How do you do this without getting caught?"
David E answers: "It's simple : My camera is always visible. I never take sneaky photos . I photograph only what is visible to every one. If any one ever sees that I took their photo and asks me to delete it I do right there and then!"

Let me also offer you this thought to ponder (if you learn but a single useful thing from a porn forum in your life, let it be this):
>>> People sometimes believe what they are told, but people NEVER DOUBT what they CONCLUDE ON THEIR OWN. <<<
Leave your guilty conscience at home, go out as at tourist, dress as a tourist, and take hundreds of tourist pics. While you are taking all those tourist pics, a few upportunities will no doubt develop (film pun) if you hit the right locations, of which you can freely avail yourself, with little trouble or risk. In other situations, event photography might be more appropriate (car shows, air shows, music festivals that allow photography, etc), so you take 1000's of pics of the event, slipping in your up-shots as they arise. You know you are doing it right when people are asking you to take their pic with their camera, or even just randomly asking you to take their pic without ever having a way to get a copy for themselves. Likewise, if people wave you off, or tell you not to take their pic, then immediately stop & move on.
If you are doing it right, people conclude you are a tourist, event photog, photography student, whatever, and never doubt their conclusions. If you are doing it wrong... well, then you have a problem...
