  • 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.

There is no way he knew about first amendment rights as regards photography. I appreciate you acknowledging he is one person. He just didn’t know. He has nothing to be ashamed of. He didn’t completely lose his mind. He was just puzzled. I’m impressed that the numerous interactions you had with others there was uneventful and not at all unpleasant. I can promise you we all value our first amendment rights more that the average person, and appreciate your efforts.

In fact, almost every single person that drive into the parking lot waved and was polite! It was just that one D-bag who just couldn't leave well enough alone. I would venture to bet that the only reason the nice, inviting guy in the blue suit approached the auditors with the D-bag was to mind the D-bag and make sure he didn't make an arze of himself!

Should the church ban you for one unsubstantiated claim? I'm positive that position is in the Bible about 2 or more witnesses needed for proof. However, that's for church policy, not secular law. That covers other sins and situations too, not just child abuse.
