The airport authority had claimed that the camera was a risk to security as the airport is used

by many important people

So if it wasn't used by "important people," they don't care?

Compare that to the kaput Pattaya cams.

Never did find out what happened to the Pattaya cams..maybe they where a security risk too..there used to be 2 on

"Walking Sreet"  a couple at Retox bar ,Irish Rovers bar ,Castra Gym, some football pitch (don't know where it was exactly)

and one of Pattaya bay  which is still (sometimes) working...probably more I forget about...but suddenly they all went offline.

Most countries have laws forbidding photography of military objects. 

Airports are included as protected objects. 

That's an interesting point, if true.  Can a law be found that references this?  Most things that are in public and can be seen from a public place, are not prohibited to be photographed.  That airport is not military and most airports are owned by the city where they are located, ie owned by the public themselves.

I hear this nonsense all the time, someone explain how this could possibly be a security risk.

A potential terrorist can monitor the webcam and remotely detonate a device at the precise time.

Here come the "Thais can't do anything right" crowd, same crown that if a terrorist attack happened at that runway would be chastising Thais and Thailand for not having taken the  live camera down. Such live cameras at the end of a runway and at such close proximity present security risks for obvious reasons, anyone with half a brain should be able to see.that. (pun intended)

Under what legal authority can they force a man to shut down something that can be seen from public?

When the legal authority is owned by the government.

The military doesn't have authority anymore in civilian matters.  

 

That's what.

Total nonsense.  Explain exactly how this would work.
