(154,021 posts)California Statue is quite clear on that... there is CASE LAW.
Or are the owners above the law?
And yes he was arrested for registering voters. Live with it, or not, I don't give a shit. In fact, none of us has been able to find where those registration forms are.
Free clue the cops should have turned them over to the registrar of voters... none of us has been able to find out.

Former San Diego City Attorney Mike Aguirre, in an exclusive interview with East County Magazine, called the arrest a violation of Title 42, Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act, which prevents the state from denying voting rights, as well as the First Amendment constitutional right to free speech.
Every San Diegan, whether the most conservative Republican or the most liberal Democrat, should be concerned that someone registering voters could be arrested on the citys civic plaza because Republicans and Democrats register voters there, as do all parties, Aguirre said. This is the most constitutionally protected activity that you can engage in.
Aguirre said registering voters is a protected activity on both public and private property open to the public. In this case, it is so obvious that this person was singled out for political beliefs, he said. This kind of excess really gives us the opportunity to draw peoples attention to the dangers of a police state
Is there any member of the City Council thats going to speak out?
