| | | I was just placed on a two year probation for Trespassing in Texas (the maximum penalty for a Class A Misdemeanor), and one of my conditions of probation is to "Destroy all photos," as well as delete any of the said photos that might be on any social platform or media sites. At first I balked at the idea and was under the mistaken impression I was protected under our Constitution regarding creative works. This seemed very un-american to me to have to forcibly delete my own photos and artwork. I've asked a couple lawyers, and evidently this is a right I don't have because it was part of my agreed upon conditions of probation (let's see, let them fuck me or go to jail for a year... not a very happy decision, I promise you). Considering that charges were not known about by anyone or pressed against me until over a month after the "trespassing incident," I don't see how they can possibly enforce this condition with anything other than my word that the photos are destroyed. The good news is, my situation is incredibly unique - a kind of "worst case scenario," if you will. Your chances of being forced to destroy anything like photos is exceedingly small (unless your probation demands it, of course). Sorry, guys, I'm still a little bitter over this one.

| I'm sorry this all happened to you! I do have to say I am grateful to you for sharing your tale though; I have read what Ive stumbled upon here and hope I've absorbed some wisdom from your plight. Thank you. That said, losing photos for whatever reason is painful; I waited 8 years to recover 3000+ photos from time I lived abroad and learned the lesson that multiple SD cards is an option rather than uploading and deleting from the same one over and over. Much more minor and in no way stating equivalence, just that the loss of ones art is like a physics wound (even if said art isn't that great!)
