1/16 What do you need to do to set up a table at BART and
start trying to prostelyze the masses? The Scientology
people have moved their table inside of the Powell
BART station that is shared by the Nordstrom mall and
Powell SF MUNI stop with their stupid FREE STRESS TEST
signs. Can I set up my own table behind them and
offer FREE ANAL RAPINGS? Do I have to get a license
somewhere?
\_ It is a public area. You can get away with a good amount, but
setting up a table is something you'd need to get a license for
(possible obstruction of a public walkway problems). You can
carry a sign or something similar, but you need to watch your
language (disturbing the peace, public nuisance). I think there
are also provisions against for-profit advertising not approved
for BART.
\_ "FREE RECTAL FEVER CHECK WITH WARM POST-CHECK LOTION"
\_ LOWER GI MASSAGE ...
\_ People might not make the connection as well as if you just stood
there with a sign saying "Free Brain Washing" or "Free Cult
Membership*"
\_ When I see those bastards I usually jump around and shout
"It's a cult!!!" "Don't talk to them, they're a fucking cult
and they'll brainwash you!!" at the top of my lungs and wave
my arms around.
\_ That should convince any sensible person.
\_ Well, it entertains me, and irritates the Scientologists,
and that'e enough for me. Sensible people already know
to avoid them and don't need to be convinced.
\- the hari krishna activities have led to a lot of
free speech in public but functionally dedicated
spaces lawsuits. at one point there were inconsistent
standars between airports, bus terminals ferry terminals
railway stations etc. to the best of my knowledge these
distinctions were some what arbitrary and as far as i
know a higher court hasnt imposed a uniform standards.
note also, it's not as simple as "is it a public space"
because there is adoctrine about quasi-public. for the
nTH time in the motd, see pruneyard [yes from the
south bay] v. robins.
\_ Please stop bastardizing the language, while there's
still time. |
