Several coaches and referees may recall an incident within the last ten (10) years in Kansas where a video camera was confiscated at a KSHSAA sponsored event. After the tape was reviewed and it was determined the perpetrator was in violation of the KSHSAA rules he was promptly removed from the premises.

The rule does not apply only to KSHSAA member schools or member school coaches.
We have had situations in the past in which schools have had to secure video’s of students taken by persons other than parents – there’s issues other than KSHSAA rules that apply in these situations – federal law re; privacy and minors. Johnny’s dad taking video’s of Joe and Jimmy (using your example) may very well be in trouble with violations of federal law.

If that really happened, and there is a good chance it didn't as Richard is starting to suffer from wrestling talk forum dementia, then shame on us for letting such a stupid rule remain in place. I have outlined the circumstances and sent the question to the Almight Bowden for clarification. Hopefully results from this inquiry will be available today.
Mr. Bowden has confirmed my statement and I must thank Will for once again providing me with a good laugh and further convincing the wrestling talk forum world of his propensity to look like the South end of a North bound mule.
Thank you William!
Lastly:
By the way Richard, if I am your friend I would hate to see the way you treat your adversaries! I personally would not consider you such after the disrespectful way you have treated me and the Chief these past few weeks.
Darn the good luck!
