I don't get how they can force someone to delete pictures on their cellphone or tell people they can't take photos in a place where the public gathers?
It seems to me it's a violation of the constitution in regards to free press, freedom of speech and all that.
Can anyone explain?

Not sure at what point a space becomes so public that all photography gets 1A protection.
On edit: not saying that this is morally right, but it definitely is what is.
