I wouldn’t put so much trust in those background checks. Even Homeland security ended up hiring felons and they had “background checks”. I’m not saying all Santa’s are molesters, but not all freelance photographers who like taking pics of kids are perverts either. The mall police went overboard. The photographer complied with the parent’s request to delete the photo. A show of physical force was not called for. And in this case yes, the mall officers were “mall nazis” I watch out for my own safety at the mall.
Do me a favor (homework assignment). Find out the name of the mall and see if they have bylaws...you know, laws that setforth certain regulations to those who visit their privately owned mall.
I would imagine that photographing other people without their consent would be one of them (I know they are in my place of business).
Really not worth my time.
