I also agree with Bronx.

Lets have a scenario where one has have landed somewhere for whatever reason,... lets say so that your 'pax' could drag a child from a frozen lake.

The child is now away in a land ambulance.

If during your preparations to leave the scene, the aircraft is approached by what looks like a local thug and a mate with sticks and stones (a situation I would consider to be more dangerous to you, your crew and the aircraft than a video camera), what should you do?

a. Should you shut down/abort the take off and discuss the situation with the local thugs?
b. Should you continue your actions and hope to fly away from the situation, despite the dangers to those on the ground approaching the aircraft and also potentially to the aircraft itself and those on board??

As an extra, would your decision change if the frozen child was on board your aircraft? (just to add an 'extremely agitated' side to the scenario)
