What jurisdictions are you referring to? Specific examples please...

”I cannot look it up now” = “I’m making this up”

Terms of carriage are not legislation, and don’t trump legislation.
Also, having something like that in the contract of carriage deosn't make it a crime, at least not where I am (US) Something like that would be a civil issue. If it's prohibited in the contract of carriage, they can demand that you stop, and if you refuse, they can demand that you leave their property, and if you refuse to do that, the police can come and arrest you for trespassing, but they're arresting you for trespassing, refusing to leave when requested to. You're not being arrested for the act of recording video. I realize that this all took place in other jurisdictions than the US, so it may be different, but I'm skeptical that recording video is a crime on an airplane.
