  • We were recently in Garden Grove Ca. outside the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses gathering images & video before their 9a.m. meeting, We got a few friendly waves from folks driving in. One guy in particular came to where we were standing , telling me to turn off my cameras & that he was going to call police because he claimed my camera was making people uncomfortable. I offered him the document I carry with me, explaining public photography rights in California. He actually accepted the information and read it. He then returned with another guy (who had invited us inside) and then claimed we were recording kids & that was illegal according to the document I handed him. We urged he to re- read it . He then informed us that he was still calling police, because of our presence with the cameras. Eventually , two officers from Garden Grove Police arrived on scene, virtually explaining the same thing the the concerned party. In the end, police respected my and these two gentlemen did the walk of shame.

Buy the signs, put them up all over your property and now you have the lawful protection for No Trespassing. If someone passes the signs then take a picture of them, i.e. smart phones, and call the police. Even if they leave you still have proof of their trespassing. 1- the sign, 2- the picture, 3- call the cops if you are going to follow through and prosecute them, otherwise forget #3.

      @@-108- if you think the "nice guy in the blue suit" was really the nice guy then you would be wrong. That guy is the d-bags boss or upper level in the church, he was just there to supervise/make sure the lower level pleb did what he was told to do by him & then also masquerade as the nice/inviting person to alleviate him from any wrongdoing on camera if the issue went further. This is how these brainwashing businesses work, what other reason did they have to approach a completely innocent person taking photo/video on a public sidewalk, absolutely no reason at all & they even pushed the point further to waste the time of the police & tax payers money after being shown legal documentation on the matter.

Some cities are overcrowded and yet there, chaos does not exist; all behave in an orderly manner, as public discipline is a valuable social virtue that is taught in schools. In the US, the INDIVIDUAL is privileged over society and the result, is conflict, aggression, everyday problems and stress. People in the US have many Rights, but few obligations. In China, GROUP Rights are privileged without paying much attention to Personal Rights. In the US, IF an individual has a "Right" he goes over the Group, and they call to that FREEDOM! And it is in this Freedom and Rights that the Civil Courts have to deal with thousands of lawsuits of all kinds. The individual has a Right, and if “HIS” Rights are violated, he demands and is compensated. This in China is unthinkable, given that a chinese citizen would not even dare to upload their music, so as not to annoy the GROUP. In US the all system is collapsing under the weight of "My Freedom”. For example, the Chinese are not free to provoke, insult or yell anyone. That "Freedom" does not exist. And yes: Exercise The Freedom of Expression or filming another person is NOT a illegal, and anyone has the “Right” to videotape what they want or say as much he want. Filming in public places is not a crime either. But, for the Chinese it is uncomprehensible to DISTURB another person, just cuz someone have the "Right" to do so. Yup... Only in America...!

    This one is very good because you explain that you’re practicing your first amendment right and you don’t understand our first amendment right to record in public. They should be on the same page because they have a Lotta privilege in the way they practice their religion shouldn’t it be the same That a photographer practice their rights

      Freedom of Speech allows you to be a rude asshole. OR a nice person that politely declines their entreaties. 🙂

      U may not have seen any from the street but some do have them in the back. Some are in the front as well, just depends on the design. Its meant to lessen the opportunity for distractions. The public is always welcome to go inside though. Its not a secretive place. Many ppl jus fear what they dont understand. I love it! ✌🏿

    It's alright for their team to come up on our property, knock on our door and pester us, they don't stand on public property and mind their business. He actually misread the clause about kids and in big, bold letters, it says MISCONCEPTION:, not a bright fellow.

      He was probably getting madder paragraph by paragraph and missed the cautionary MISCONCEPTION. Maybe latter when he's less emotional he'll catch his error. Your handout is a very good idea.😉

      Do you mean the person that accompanied the auditor? I noticed she was chiming in a bit. The auditor even sort of "shushed" her for a second.
