Regardless of company policy,they most certainly can turn you in, and a fair amount of people have been turned in because of a cautious photo technician. Joseph Deguzman, was arrested and sentenced to 80 years in jail after a photo technician discovered photos of homemade bombs thwarting his plan to create a Columbine-like terror campaign on a local school. Your chances of getting caught are even greater if your photos are being developed at a place where it is not very busy, chances are whomever is working the processor gets a good look at what you did, and if it is an obvious crime, well good luck.

Yes they can. Most are underpaid and have very little social life and would jump at the chance to turn someone in for anything that could be vaguely misconceived as illegal. Because their lives are so boring they spend much of their free time snooping through everyone's photos.

Yes, if the behaviour is abusive or illegal. I've worked at a photo place, and it's up to the discretion of the individual but anything showing abuse is by law, to be reported.

yes, it's just not a good idea. people have been arrested for pornography and underage drinking and things like that - it's an easy way to incriminate yourself. i'm assuming you're under 21 and want pictures of you and your friends drinking or something. print them out at home or just don't do illegal things in the first place :)

Many stores will destroy negatives of inappropiate things, up to the discretion of the developer. If you take it to Walgreens however, you have a better chance if there is no sexually explicit material (penetration). They will just return the negatives to you, and destroy any prints made. They usually print everything else, no questions asked. Ask the developer before turning them in.

Yes, but only if it's pictures of child abuse, neglect, or molestation. If there's pictures of you doing drugs, abusing animals, or any other various crimes..no. They must print the photos and as stated in many photo policies "We do not police the world."

Yes they can, especially if it involves physical harm to another, like kiddie porn. Sometimes parents have been turned in for nude pix of their own children.

yes. In one unfortionate case where this poor guy took a spontanious picture of his daughters as they all by themselves mooned him. Unfortionately after he had them developed, it looked unfortionately like child porn and he was arrested.
