They don't want to stop people from taking Instagram shots that help advertise their properties, but do not want pros using the property for commercial shoots. Also they consider the feelings of guests, who might not like the idea of possible media photographers around. I used to run into this a lot filming in places where many couples there were not married to each other.

Yes, places like that. Is it still considered a violation of law if through some unfortunate circumstance (like an accident or whatever) your car is searched and these items are found?

Me too! But I’ll tell you what, I’d never go back! Took loads of pics when I was in Cancun, many around the resort, I couldn’t imagine being told that I couldn’t. Never changed lenses so much in my life.

Its called a risk that I knowingly take...and I take as many precautions as I possibly can.

You were also in Mexico so maybe they’re not as restrictive.

I don't care about taking pictures inside anyone property. But bringing equipment in hotel is needed.

We ran into this once at a college football game. We just went in another entrance. Only once, never had a problem any other time.

I found out that I can't take my "professional" camera to a college basketball game, as they're prohibited. In that case, I think it's because they have their own photographers taking pictures of the games.

Event organizers should prominently post the event rules for photography well in advance.

I’ve had the same experience. I think a lot of it depends on the guard at each gate.

I have had only 2 experiences where cameras were restricted in any way.
At the "Rock Castle" in Hendersonville TN they require a permit which is easy to obtain.
At the Ryman Auditorium they prohibit "professional" cameras. I doubt the usher had any idea how to distinguish a professional camera from any other. I had my SX50 HS bridge camera which she allowed after I assured her I left my good camera home. However, they didn't allow my strobe. They claimed it was due to limitations from contracts with performers.
EDIT: I also was once approached in a mall taking pictures of a store. The security guard questioned me, but when I explained it was my wife's store, he left.

I firmly believe some believe info just spreads majically. I was acting leader and had to the budget. Got called out for not putting in money to replace 1/3? of all computers. Told it was the rule. Neither my direct boss or any other of the other permanent group leaders had ever heard of it. When I stated we routinely did this, I was accused of replacing all of them every year!!! I then said we do those needed when needed, did not satisfy top boss either!

We show our family of dogs and I was at a dog show standing at ringside with my D180 with a 70-200 f/2.8 taking pictures of the Better Half with our pup going around the ring as others were doing with their cameras and smartphones as their dogs were in the ring.
A gal came up to me and told me that "taking professional photos was not allowed" and that there were photographers available should I wish to purchase a photo from them. Calmly, yet sternly, I told her that I was taking pictures of my dog and they were for our keepsake. I asked her why she assumed that I was a professional and she said that it was because of my camera. I thanked her for the compliment although I was not worthy of it and I continued to take my pictures over the next three days of the show.
Being in business has taught me that there are far too many times that someone assumes authority when they really don't have it and this was one of them.

WITH DUE RESPECT: Is not this the resort that charges a daily 'resort experience' fee on top of the daily room rate. AND then there are the taxes (they do charge city tax and do they also charge 'tourism tax'?)...AND you have a problem with their camera policy? Sir: FIND ANOTHER RESORT!
