agreed.
if the mall has a ban on photography as most malls do,
he has no right to photograph on their property and can face a ban from
their mall.

this however is a criminal complaint.

also there are constitutional issues regarding allowing a security guard to
take possession of the cameraphone and go through the photographs which
this real "crackhead" clearly was not aware of.

he had the right to refuse.

the police also need to swear out a probable cause warrant to look at
pictures on your phone, which this article does not mention either.

A cell phone camera is a camera. A mall is private property, and while on
that private property you are entirely at the mercy of the property owner
and his/her/its rules. It may not seem right, but this is not the same
thing as police or security guard harassment in a public place. Just saying.
