I'm glad that one pig who pushed a disabled women down in East Vancouver is going to face the Human Rights Tribunal for his actions. It is sad but we need an independent commission to investigate our own police when they screw up. Even when they are caught 3 or 4 times breaking the same law they get lenient treatment.

As bad as it may seem, and while I feel it is BS that there are no photography rules, its not my property... Its private property. not a public place. I don't believe it was a violation.
I was just at my local mall on Sunday doing trick or treat with my kids(as Sandy canceled it in our neighborhood)
as I was waiting for the event to start, I was looking at the posted rules near the enterance.
One of the rules was that there be no photography without prior consent of the management.

Ignorance is not an excuse. If there are rules posted and you fail to read the rules, it does not change the fact that they are to be enforced.

ETA: just as I suspected...

I would like to film in the mall, how do I go about doing this?

News crews can gain access and approval to be on site by calling 604.438.4700. At no time can a camera crew film inside any stores or restaurants without prior consent from the store or restaurant manager. Requests by students/special projects will be evaluated on an individual basis. Please submit a written request: info@metropolisatmetrotown.com

interesting read if anyone is interested.

The police can not tell you to delete any photographic or video of them performing their duties in a public space.

1) its not public space, its private property
2) security guards are not police
3) the kid broke the rules about no photography that are posted on the official Metrotown website and most likely posted at the enterance to the building

again, not saying the kid should have been accosted or arrested, just saying he should have paid more attention to the rules.

this would be thrown out of court quite quickly IMO

A fuzzy grey area. A private property where public traffic flows freely and their own cameras are set up everywhere observing what we do. If it's a simple case of inadvertently being negligent of a posted "rule" the punishment seems overkill. IMHO
