Hiya there,<div><br></div><div>Completely aside from the issue of people wanting to be photographed or not, a few people have talked about forcing attendees to delete photos with the use of security guards, or confiscating cameras. <div>
<br></div><div>I really doubt anyone has any legal authority to attempt these things, not even the police outside of removing a persons equipment as they are being arrested. IANAL, but as far as I am aware the only thing you could do is evict someone from the conference, you would then need a court order to enforce removing the images from their equipment. <br>

<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Then tell people "If you are on stage giving a talk, people will photograph you, if you are in this area, people may photograph you", then it is opt-in, any other photography outside of those two contexts (ie: taking a photo of a group chatting in a corridor) would require the explicit consent of everyone.</div>
