Cops from Clearwater don’t do that…

This is really a scenario where you need to split hairs. Simply saying public photos are legal, is inaccurate. Anyone following someone with a camera or taking photos with the intention of causing harm, could be legally held accountable; and should be frankly.

Comparing taking public photos where random strangers demand consent, with Scientology’s implied use of photos, feels like conflating; or at least an oversight.

@Real: Why did my response illicit such a strong tone from you? Although my view of how a jury would perceive a case is clearly not yours, images used from public cameras to harass people in a coordinated or premeditated fashion, is *not* protected by whatever loophole you might think is relevant.

In front of a jury, the implications of the imagery’s usage would be clear.

That’s an interesting idea. I do know that in most states permission is needed to publish likenesses (per the many permission slips I had to sign for my kids regarding that issue).

I don’t live in Florida but maybe an idea is to start a petition for Clearwater residents to say they don’t want to be filmed or photographed by the church and if enough people signed maybe COS would reconsider the practice out of concern that an image of someone on the petition might be captured or at very least if most Clearwater residents signed it then it would make it harder for COS to publish any photos without including someone on the petition.

Oh! Real LaPlaine. I’ve heard of him but wasn’t around there in ’82. I had run into SHI in ’82 while he was on a recruit tour in the US.

Jere, you can shine bright lights at their cameras if you like. Only lasers of a certain wattage and above are prohibited.

Right, Chuck. We need a short, pithy use of Zenu and BTs which will be legible on T-shirts and hats/caps.
I’m thinking:”The lord Zenu CAUSED the ‘Wall of fire’ and the billions of Body Thetans to be exorcised on the OT levels.”
I sorta liked one Chris Sheldon had: something like, “Can I tell you about our lord and master Zenu?” with a great alien character pictured.

Wicked Witch-like melting is right, Kronomex. A true melt-down is in progress. Is there some place I can register to be notified when the implosion is compete? I’m getting tired of dancing on its grave while Dave’s money is keeping the appearance of life going.
COMPLETE your cycle of action, already, twerp!

I’m wondering: Would there be any benefit to my writing to scientology’s legal sharks or other representatives that scientology is specifically denied permission to record my likeness? Then could I detail that attempts to do so will be met with “bright lights”?

LmR, it reflects the paranoid MIND of Hubbard. No story is too outlandish for him/them to believe whole-heartedly.
