This video is intented to raise awareness about the right to record in public. To educate the public and the authorities to the protections and guarantee provided by the Constitution of all people to Free Speech and Freedom of the Press to gather information and to disseminate your opinion and the information you gather. While at the Plaza West Covina a Mall style shopping center I decided to examine and investigate the response of Mall Management and Security and the Police response to public photography/videography inside the mall. California like only a few other states designates shopping centers as public forums as it comes to first amendment protected activities on public areas of privately owned properties. Not only does the California State Constitution protect gathering and sharing information but the California Supreme Court ruled in Robins vs Prunyard Shopping Center that public areas of privately owned shopping centers are free speech protected spaces. That ruling was affirmed in the U.S. Supreme Court in Pruneyard vs Robins. I want to thank ASC Security for being professional. I first saw Desert Sentinel approaching this subject of shopping centers and public forums. Please remember your laws and statutes may be different in your state. I am exercising my rights under the California State Constitution and under California Supreme Court rulings. Thanks for watching and thank you for all of your support.
