Reference your comment "All stores have policies against taking pictures inside the store. Security is allowed to confiscate your camera".

As a 29 year law enforcement officer I know of no criminal statute (at least in Colorado)that prevents a person from taking pictures of products inside a store.

I'm sure that there are some stores they may not allow it for the reasons you stated. However, all they can do is tell you to stop and or leave their store. Now if you refuse to leave and they call the police you can probably expect the officer to escort you out of the store or face trespass charges.

As far as security being allowed to confiscate your camera its not going to happen. Well let me take that back...security might take your camera however if I was the officer investigating the disturbance I would be charging the security guard with theft if they didn't return it.
