Adobe's IP requirements are quite clear. You cannot make commercial use of images of recognizable people, and just blurring the faces results in an unusable image. You either have to compose such scenes to omit people, edit them out entirely, or obtain model releases.

Just blurring out recognizable faces will result in a rejection.

You will need to get a model release from each and every one of them. (Which could be quite hard to do!)
