Another remarkable clip from Wiener’s SB 934 hearing. Hearing Wiener imagine being a parent is bizarre, but I want to focus on the committee’s inability to understand the bill they are voting on. Few realize California lawmakers have been inserting ā€œgenderā€ nonsense into state law for decades. It starts in 1998, when ā€œgenderā€ is added to the hate crime code. Then it appears in the Education Code, opening the door to boys in girls’ bathrooms. By 2003, ā€œgender identityā€ enters the Government Code. In 2005, female-only public accommodations are gone. In 2007, the biological definition of sex is stripped from the Education Code. By 2013, girls’ sports are no longer protected as female-only. In 2017, self-ID comes to driver’s licenses. By 2021, it reaches women’s prisons. I’ve watched many of the hearings & the pattern is always the same. Every bill is ā€œminor.ā€ Just ā€œcodifying.ā€ Just ā€œclarifying.ā€ Just ā€œaligning statutes.ā€ Opponents are dismissed as confused or hysterical. ā€œThis won’t let boys into girls’ bathrooms. You’re overreacting.ā€ Then the bill passes and that is exactly what it does. Nothing is different with SB 934. All the committee members (even the R’s) seem sold on the idea the SB 934 merely changes the statute of limitations, nothing more. But anyone with a working brain can read the text of SB 934 (it’s not long) and compare it to the existing CA law on conversion therapy. Under existing law, SB 1172, enforcement of conversion therapy is limited to licensing boards and deals only with ā€œsexual orientation.ā€ However, SB 934 explicitly allows a plaintiff to bring a civil action (lawsuit) for ā€œgender identity change effortsā€ and recover damages. That is a massive expansion of liability. And even if this were ā€œjustā€ a statute of limitations bill, that should raise a different question: why are we continuing to expand a legal regime in a highly controversial and contested space? But never mind all that. The committee is convinced this is a simple, small bill that increases the statute of limitations. We’ve seen this play out for 25 years. And each time, lawmakers say: this changes nothing or very little. And each time, the law expands far beyond what was promised. SB 934 follows the same script.

The Banter Ban is coming to a pub near you. But what does it actually mean? šŸŗ Employers will be required to take ā€œall reasonable stepsā€ to protect their employees from third-party, non-sexual harassment. That includes conversations, remarks and jokes that aren't directed at an employee, but which they overhear and find offensive or upsetting. Bonkers right? How are publicans supposed to shield employees from overhearing the banter of drunk customers? The government has quietly published an 'impact assessment' estimating it will cost small business owners Ā£23.7 million just to familiarise themselves with their new legal duties under the banter ban — plus Ā£124,000 a year in ongoing costs for a decade. Total could be as high as Ā£59 million, according to the Government. But, of course, that's a woeful underestimate. The assessment claims it will take business owners just 30 minutes to understand these burdensome new obligations. Oh yeah? To give just one example of what publicans will have wrestle with: they'll have to work out whether to allow transwomen access to the women's lavatories. Unde this new law, female employees could sue for harassment if they find themselves in a loo with a man, but transwomen could also sue for discrimination if they aren't allowed to use the ladies. The legal complexity of that situation, involving a conflict of rights under the Equality Act, is Bridget Phillipson's excuse for delaying issuing EHRC guidance about access to single-sex women's spaces. Yet the Govenment is asking us to believe that publicans will be able to get their heads around this legal minefield in half an hour? The legal and compliance costs for landlords — not to mention the financial risk — could be the final nail in the coffin for the British pub -- and 540 are predicted to close this year.

He’s filming everyone at the market, but the police say there’s nothing they can do. Whose side are you on? A male videographer (the "auditor"), who is wearing a disguise for anonymity, is filming at an outdoor market. He is confronted by a market organizer (Kaylee Dolan) regarding his filming of vendors and attendees. A law enforcement officer arrives to mediate the dispute. ​The organizer expresses concern that the videographer is making vendors and patrons uncomfortable and asks him to stop or leave. The videographer asserts his right to film in a public area, refusing to comply with her request. ​The responding officer confirms that the videographer is in a public space where he has a legal right to record. The officer acknowledges the organizer's frustration but explains that, as no crime is being committed, he cannot compel the man to stop filming or force him to leave. ​The tension arises from the intersection of constitutional rights and personal expectations of privacy. ​Under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, individuals generally have a protected right to film in public spaces (such as sidewalks, public parks, and plazas). This includes the right to film government officials and police officers performing their duties, as well as things that are plainly visible from those public areas. ​In general, there is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in a public space. If something can be seen by the naked eye from a location where a person is legally permitted to be, it is typically legal to photograph or record it. ​While filming is a protected activity, it is not absolute. If filming crosses the line into harassment, stalking, or disorderly conduct—or if it is done to "clandestinely" capture private or intimate areas, it can become illegal. In this specific interaction, the officer determined that the videographer’s actions did not meet the legal threshold for a crime, which is why he could not intervene. ​If the market were held on private property rather than public land, the owners or organizers would have the right to set rules regarding photography or to ask people to leave. If someone refuses to leave private property after being asked, they can be cited for trespassing. The officer's inability to remove the videographer suggests that the location was either public property or that the organizer lacked the legal authority to exclude him from that specific area.

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen in, Vancouver, WA, was pulled over by FIVE police cars for legally observing and documenting ICE agents… then had to explain the Constitution to the officers detaining him… And it was all caught on video. In the video, an ICE agent didn’t like being watched, called local police… Then suddenly, the U.S. citizen, exercising his constitutional rights, was surrounded by FIVE cop cars. And most ridiculous part? The officers who claimed ā€œreasonable suspicionā€ for detaining the U.S. citizen, could not even answer this simple question… Is it legal to observe and record law enforcement? After refusing to answer, and arguing about the First Amendment for several minutes, the officer finally admitted… Yes. It is legal to observe and record law enforcement. So, if it’s a legally protected activity… then why was this U.S. citizen detained? Federal courts, across the country, have repeatedly recognized that the First Amendment protects the right to record and observe government officials… including law enforcement performing their duties in public… as long as you aren’t interfering with them. That means, local police, and ICE agents, don’t get to decide when that right applies… They don’t get to ignore the Constitution because they’re uncomfortable with public oversight. But this isn’t the only incident. Across America, we’re watching local law enforcement work alongside ICE, while ordinary citizens, journalists, and legal observers are being questioned, detained, and intimidated for exercising their constitutional rights. And the fact that a U.S. citizen had to educate the officers, who were detaining HIM, about the Constitution… should outrage every single person. Because if the people enforcing the law don’t understand the constitutional rights they’re sworn to protect… That puts every American in danger.
