Some security systems will treat blinding of video feed from security camera in the store as "something fishy going on". I know LCBO has that kind of security system and they have a lot of problems with yongsters turning 19 and shooting pictures with their first bottle of booze. :) “No cameras” policy in some stores may be due to the fact that flash from camera can set off alarms.
