How can they confiscate your camera? They aren't a federal or state law 
authority.
Aren't they a private citizens, just like you, thus wouldn't such an 
act amount to theft?
If they detained you it may even be considered kidnapping.

I suspect that at best they could ask you to leave, if the event was 
held on private property.

Anyone?
