Reply to comment by ThreeDogs2022 in Massachusetts mother arrested for exposing lax security at local schools after being encouraged by school council to go "see recent security improvements for herself". by -BadCatitude-
I wonder what the penalty is for "filming minors without parental consent"? I'll bet it's massive. Or made up, either one.
I agree with you, it's them trying to save face. It's not an easy task to secure a large building, and maybe it's not worth it to do it the right way. But let's not make some grand gestures and say "mission accomplished." Do or do not, there is no try.

The latter. It is not illegal to records or photography minors, in of itself, in the USA.

In PUBLIC. The town or school may not have the same policy while on school property.

Still not illegal. They can forbid recording or photography but at best they can charge you with trespassing if you refuse to follow their rules to be on site. The actual recording and photography of minors in places where there is no expectation of privacy is not illegal and they can not do anything to make you destroy or delete your footage or photos.

If the school tried to contact me about the violation of someone filming minors, you better believe I’d be more concerned about how they got in the school
