I remember a while back Apple filed a patent that allows concerts to disable iPhones cameras if a certain signal is emitted from the stage. Apple never implemented this, but my pessemistic ass always try to think of worse case scenarios, like being used by government. Do you think this could occur in the future?

Nobody besides currency counterfeiters gets inconveinenced by printers refusing to copy money. But with photos and recordings, some criminal could recreate the signal and prevent a crime being recorded.
