A citizen stands on a public curb and public utility property, funded by taxpayers, and calmly asks the key question:
“Am I on public property?”
Officers initially claim authority — until the facts come out.
The sidewalk, curb, and utility access are publicly owned, and filming there is completely lawful.
The citizen explains the law clearly:
Without reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime, police have no authority to order a person to move or stop filming on public property.
Public sidewalk means public access.
No crime means no jurisdiction.
Authority collapses the moment the law is spoken.
