Newport Beach church gets a B+ on First Amendment Rights to public video

Описание: "Pushing back against what has become a widely accepted social phenomenon, of people feeling entitled to ask people to not record them in public and then escalate when they don't get their way."

It was a Pass ! Way to go to Viewpoint church in Newport beach for honoring and respecting our right to film and video on a public sidewalk which happened to be
in front of their house of worship. They didn't get the A because the pastor came out a little
hard-nosed in the very beginning but to their credit, they moved on. She was nice in the end and even invited us into the church.
That is what a true Christian would do.

The quick de-escalation set the tone for other church-goers as they were pretty civil in asking what it is that we were doing.

We are not obligated to reveal what we are doing when conducting business on a public sidewalk. But in my Book, I don't deduct points for being curious and asking what we are doing.
If we told them, it would botch the exercise and 1st amendment audit.

Our Experiments should not affect anyone unless we are on private property. It's OK to ask. Calling the police is sometimes their way to process it all.
That was not the case this day.

In regards to recording videos of children in public.
Under the U.S. Constitution, 1st Amendment, there is no expectation of privacy in public.
The act of recording, filming, or even taking photographs of minors in public, whether targeted subject or incidental subjects is protected under the first amendment.
Again, in public. Private property is a different conversation. Also, it is important to know that if a parent is concerned their child is being filmed or photographed,
they have every right to protect their child's identity as long as it is legal and does not harm anyone else.
Michael Jackson would always protect his kids from being photographed in public by placing face masks on them while walking in corridors or transferring from cars to hotels, or in public areas.

This case was a rarity and not the norm. Other auditors have had very dicey experiences with houses of worship folks.
Just an observation that may have been a key factor to this overall pleasant experience.;
the worshipers here seemed much more
level-headed, grounded and educated than most houses of worships we have been experienced.
The majority of the time, it is the smart ones who stay quiet and mind their business while the ignorant and ill-advised folks are the ones who make the most noise.

If anyone from the church is viewing this. Thank you for being civil and kind.
We wish healthy-minded Christians would be the case everywhere!
