Is it legal in most States to protest outside homes? Shouldn't it be illegal everywhere?

What the hell does this have to do with the disturbance caused by a residential protest?

 

If you are talking about a political protest, it means you cannot stop or inhibit it. If the protesters are egregiously rowdy and disturbing you can legal tell them to stop disturbing the peace and have them arrested, but you cannot shut off their speech without violating one of the more sacrosanct passages in the Constitution. It might be possible for the feds or state governments to pass a law prohibiting protests at private residences which might or might hold up under supreme court jurisprudence.

 

How is it possible to have a residential protest which DOESN'T disturb?

 

You can see cops in that photo?

Well there are disturbances and then again there are disturbances, some legal and some not. A disturbance has to be more pronounced and egregious than just bothering someone to be illegal.

With exquisite timing I picked this off the internet today:
Florida governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill aiming to ban protests in front of a private residence, violation of which will lead to jail time and fines. The new legislation, signed on Monday, makes it a second-degree misdemeanour [sic] to protest in a manner that is aimed at intentionally harassing or disturbing someone in their home. Violators face 60 days in jail and fines of up to $500. Protesters can only be arrested after ignoring law enforcement’s orders to disperse.

 

Probably more thorough than the thread deserves but I appreciate it.

 

That depends on the person. Night owls believe early is 2am. Early birds persons mean going to bed at 7pm. Of course, early birds persons are getting up at 5am or earlier while night owls may get up the next day like 10am.

It is simply a general rule. Depending on the city/town, would depend on that threshold. I have seen the threshold as little as 10 and as much as 25.

That would depend on the amount of traffic on said streets. Remember, we are talking about residential neighborhoods here, at homes, which means traffic will be sporadic and regular at times. If protests are civl and a car comes by, allow the car to proceed and step away for a few moments and then resume the protest. That is the civil way of doing things. In addition, the police will know about this because of their intelligence. So, they will be expecting this and the expected crowd., In addition, they have protocols for this sort of thing, whether it is civil, protests are getting out of hand, or threats are being issued.

I think you have the image of the mass protests down a major highway or bridge that impeded traffic in 2020 or prior. That was in a commercial district. In the DFW area, the Federal Building in Downtown Dallas is constantly having protests there. Sometimes it is a few people and sometimes it is a few hundred. One of the times I remember was the Tea Party Movement in 2010. They had protesters in both the front, the public entrance at the time, and the back, where the employee and Law Enforcement Entrance was at that time. It was also civil. There was Dallas Police, FPS, and the armed security guards there, among others. FBI was in a building a block away. But the point was, it was peaceful. When employees came in, no harassment, no nothing. But then again, we, federal employees were told about this two days prior the event happening. So, the LEO community was prepared.

 

Babies make the choice to go to bed early?

 

And what do you think of that law?

 

Its illegal in Florida. The law was passed when anti-maskers went over board with their picketing outside teachers, and school board members residences. They had a habit of coughing on the teachers and burning profanities on their lawns using weed killer. Fortunately no one was killed / lynched / tarred.

 

I'm not greatly bothered by it. It probably infringes on the 1st amendment but not to any material.effect, and it does not materially effect someone's right to protest and express grievances but just removes a small piece where they can do that. On the other hand the rationale for prohibiting protests at a politically independent judge's or justice's home is quite strong, private homes in general not so much.
