It's funny, but I just looked at my company emails and there it was, a new policy implemented by United as of TODAY, saying that FA's are to not let passengers take pictures within the cabin to ensure the privacy of our passengers and the security issues that could arise. So there you have it, it is United policy.
I don't make them up, but I do enforce our policies, and I see the reason behind it. I don't want to be in other people's photo's on planes either.
At least in the UK, neither flight attendants nor police officers have any legal power to force you to delete any recorded information. Ever. The only person/body who can do that is a court. The FA can try to force you to delete them, but you can refuse.
