How could you not know about it? Even in larger cockpits it would be difficult to not see someone videotaping.
With "ignorance is no excuse for the law", the feds will probably question why the prohibition of electronic devices was not briefed prior to departure. Either way, you as the PIC are ultimately responsible for the safety of the flight, thus everything falls on your shoulders. You have to begin thinking like a lawyer in addition to thinking like a captain.
