Re: video taping
You can take any pictures of your daughter, suing any means that you want.
I am not sure why you would want to take pictures of the child with her mother. I do not see this action of taping in public as being under the wire taping provisins of state or federal law.
Now if the mother explicitly refuses, there should be a valid reason. The analogy is that private investigators often video tape others, and that is not a violation.
You can check with your local police department.
