Camera phones and the beaten documentary filmmaker

There are a lot of things that happen because of the usage of camera phones. I had the story about the guy whose mobile phone was destroyed as punishment for taking pictures of naked women.

Another time there was the bride in Saudi Arabia who was beating up someone for taking her picture.

There are also stories of those who use cameras (not phones) to tape crimes. The case of Rodney King comes to mind.

A similar situation happened in India. A documentary filmmaker was filming a warden beating a taxi driver. But once the warden realised what was happening, his attention turned to the filmmaker and he started to beat that poor guy up. Worse, "an assistant inspector, a head constable and a constable were present but they did not interfere."

This can be bad, of course, if the situations where people are filmed, are somewhat worse (I mean, being beaten up is bad enough). But what about violent snatch thieves, bank robbers and so on. What do you think?
