Was it a security guard, or a police officer? If it was a security guard, then it doesn't sound like it was truly public. You can be "in public", so to speak, but if it's actually private property, like a mall, it's a different story. On private property, the owner (or security guard) has every right to tell you what you can and cannot do, including photography.
