Being able to take pictures or video but not upload them destroys a lot of the utility of a mobile device.
If you can't take a picture and upload it before you get arrested then whatever was on your phone can go away. But once it's uploaded it gets much, much harder to make it disappear.
I will concede that it's not as bad since the camera still works. But that doesn't make all my worries go away either.
Then don't enable this feature on your phone. The law also requires that the feature be explicitly approved by the user and that it can be disabled by the user at any time.
