On private property, the owner (or security guard) has every right to tell you what you can and cannot do, including photography.
Correct, but he has no right to touch you, threaten you with arrest or force you to delete your footage. Not even an actual cop can do that.

They can make all the laws they want, but if it is unconstitutional then it becomes null and void.
