inside a mall? Only with permission from the owner/managementIs it legal to flyer for a product (selling a new kind of razor) inside of malls,
only with permission of the folks in charge of the campuscollege campuses,
unless you are on public property, the owner of the property has a right to prevent you from doing just about anything they don't want you to do.and other areas?
Like in littering? illegalHow about putting flyers underneath cars?
yes, if you do something on private property and the owners don't want you to do that, you will probably get one chance to stop before they call the police and have you arrested for trespassing.Any other stuff I should know about?
A mall is a private area owned and/or leased by the owners/lessees.A university is a public area (public university) and I see people flyering there all the time.
I hear malls are the same deal (public area) that allows that.
In fact I see people handing out stuff all the time in different areas, even on sidewalks of streets.
Your Rights to Flyer in MallsA mall is a private area owned and/or leased by the owners/lessees.
They can restrict your access thereto and you can be banned from a mall without a court order.
You heard wrong.
THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT [HELD] THAT THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION PROTECTS "SPEECH AND PETITIONING, REASONABLY EXERCISED, IN SHOPPING CENTERS EVEN WHEN THE CENTERS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED." 23 Cal. 3d 899,910,592 P. 2d 341,347 (1979). IT CONCLUDED THAT APPELLEES WERE ENTITLED TO CONDUCT THEIR ACTIVITY ON PRUNEYARD PROPERTY.
No, it's not=ATENANT89;2554336]A university is a public area (public university)
You heard wrongI hear malls are the same deal (public area) that allows that.
did I say anything about sidewalks that are generally public property. Now, of course, there may be laws you need to check out first but so far, that is your only legal venue, without permission needed, you have mentioned.In fact I see people handing out stuff all the time in different areas, even on sidewalks of streets.
those kids were not selling razors
You should move quickly... the Pruneyard decision is currently under attack.
No, you don't have anything to back up your claim. You have something to back up a right to those kids having a right to freedom of speech concerning political speech.=ATENANT89;2554357]Do you have anything to back up your claims? I at least have a precedent case.
Notice the inclusion in your post of ALLOWED. When you get him to say people, especially people not involved with the school have a RIGHT to toss flyers, come on back and we'll talk.I am talking to a college administrator right now who is saying "It's a public university and everyone is allowed to flyer. We have people coming here to promote movies, products, etc. all the time. As long as the content isn't disruptive or offensive."
so, that would imply he is making the statement the school does have a right to prevent a person from handing out flyers.As long as the content isn't disruptive or offensive
No, it's called SPAMMING.It's not a petition, it's a flyer with a coupon for a new brand of shaving razors. We'd just be giving the flyer out to males. It's called marketing.

PUBLIC property is one thing, but even that does not authorize sit ins. I know passing ourt flyers is not sit ins, just to give an example of there is no such thing as an "absolute" 1st AM right.Do you have anything to back up your claims? I at least have a precedent case.
