Abstract: Methods of selectively permitting the capture of information is disclosed. The methods include determining if a device capable of capturing information has entered a predetermined geographically defined zone, the zone having at least one configurable criterion; determining a parameter of the device; and selectively permitting, if the parameter of the device satisfies the at least one configurable criterion, an ability of the information capturing device to capture information when in the predetermined geographically defined zone. Devices implementing such methods are also disclosed.
