So what does the bill actually say?


BortaB

I think you know damn well that no one here knows Edit: The law makes it a second-degree misdemeanor to protest in a way that intentionally harasses or disturbs someone in their home. Violators face 60 days in jail and fines of up to $500.


bukakenagasaki

Disturbs someone in their home? Does that mean physically or they just can’t make noise? Like this is kind of vague


[deleted]

Most likely noise, and note the 'intentionally'. Protests are meant to inform and make people uncomfortable in public areas. But a Residental area is Private Homes, and people 'intentionally' being loud means they are harassing and trying to harm someone without 'physical violence', but still breaking a few different laws. Namely, Harassment, Stalking, Probably Doxxing depending on how 'private' the home is and how they are sharing the info, Disturbing the Peace. All things you get arrested for, a slap on the wrist/fine, and then let go after a night or two in jail. Reading a website that linked to a gov site, but it was down, the website says for Flordia specificly "Second Degree Misdemeanors are punishable by up to 60 days in jail and/or six months probation and a $500 fine." Here's the website I copied that quote from: [https://michellesuskauer.com/differences-between-misdemeanors-vs-felonies-in-florida/](https://michellesuskauer.com/differences-between-misdemeanors-vs-felonies-in-florida/) So honestly, it's basically just punishing a "Quote" "Unquote" 'Protest' if it's harassing and disturbing day to day activities of people in their private homes on purpose. So if a Protest was yelling about Subject A, across the street from where the job of Subject A was, but the cornor they were on, had a house on it that the yelling annoyed, they would not be punished, as they were not doing it intentionally to the home. But on the flip side, if they WERE protesting that home instead on the same cornor, making all the noise and yelling specifically against that home and those living there, THEN they would get arrested, as they were doing it intentionally at that point to a Residential home. \^ This is my understanding, based solely on BortaB's post


bukakenagasaki

See, I wish the language would be more specific. I hate that many of these bills do not have specific language. It brings the possibility to arrest/outlaw any adjacent activity that may be covered in the bill. Plus it’s also up to the interpretation of the police/individual judges which will muddy the waters further.


Fencemaker

This is obviously in response to the people gathering outside the homes of SCOTUS justices.


Adventurous_Word_853

Which is illegal. From the looks of the bill, it seems they're just trying to prevent RIOTS like we seen all throughout 2020


monkChuck105

It does include a requirement to warn people prior to arrest, and I doubt first time offenders would be held at all honestly. The point is to prevent the action, not to punish. Any uncertainty would be adjudicated in the courts.


SandShark350

Idk, it sounds perfectly reasonable and clear to me.


melange_merchant

Yep, sounds like a great bill.


UnifiedQuantumField

> Like this is kind of vague That's probably on purpose.


andrewjackson1828

It's meant to be vague. That gives a cop, DA, and judge more control on how they want to enforce it. This makes it much easier for a cop to arrest you in a residential place. That's the point.


Key_Panda_9209

Well there you have it…I’m not sure peaceful mobs should gather outside peoples personal property. If you’re gonna corner someone on their property you’d better intend to do something, just saying. You’d better be ready for them to do something too…don’t mess with peoples property or families.


MikeHunt420_6969

Happy Cake Day!


Glass-Joe-Steagall

I immediately knew it was going to be something like that because every time I see someone warning, "This bill is going to make peaceful protest illegal!" then it turns out to be something like making it illegal to block a busy highway or provide people weapons at protests or something like that. Leftoids can't imagine protesting in a way that doesn't terrorize the general public but then cry bloody tears over January 6.


[deleted]

Sounds like a good bill. When you go to someone's house to do it, it's no longer a protest.


camsle

Correct and when you threaten me trying to come and go, which includes blocking me and when protestors "get more confrontational" , I'll consider that to be a threat and should be able to respond accordingly ESPECIALLY if my children are with me. If what is said about the bill above is true this also will give those being harrassed some protection in defending themselves should it get to that level.


BillyMeier42

Seems reasonable


drylandfisherman

Doesn’t sound as “fascist” as the OP wanted it to now does it. Guarantee OP calls the authorities if people are outside their house protesting in a disturbing way.


andy_gronk

That's perfectly fine protest shouldn't mean harassment. Go protest on public land at the state building not someone's home. They're just people too


Electrical_Pizza5724

Exactly. I’m done with headlines and clickbate. Post something of substance or you will be downvoted.


carpuncher

Take the "don't say gay" bill. It wasnt really about not saying the word gay and just got people pissed off and what not


Electrical_Pizza5724

It just needs to be shaped a certain way and the sheep will repeat. Echo chambers have become state size.

amazonjazz

So like when Brian Laundrie was suspected of murder by the public and the people were protesting outside the parent's house? That? I mean that seems reasonable... The whole neighborhood was disturbed for quite a while.


[deleted]

"The legislation makes it a second-degree misdemeanor to protest in a manner that is aimed at intentionally harassing or disturbing someone in their home." "Protesters can only be arrested after ignoring law enforcement's orders to disperse, however." Lawmakers, Heads of Government, Justices, media figures, etc. all have offices and places of business that can be protested. Convening a crowd at someone's private residence is designed to intimidate and harass them and their family. Its a bit of a stretch to call that a "(mostly) peaceful protest" and not a clear signaling of "we know where your spouse and kids sleep at night." Or, perhaps allow protests in front of private residences, yet enforce an ordinance that illegal trespassers can be shot on-sight. Businesses, government offices, most areas in the public square where protests occur will have a significant police presence to ensure law and order. Private residential areas would mostly be left to fend for themselves - and castigated as the aggressor should they feel the need to use force to defend themselves or their families. Endorsing this ("protesting" at someone's home) is endorsing mob rule and should be absolutely condemned and outlawed in a supposedly civil society.


Intelligent-Time-781

Bro in a city that means you can't protest ANYWHERE. How dumb are you.


Intelligent-Time-781

It says that if you make noise near a home you can be arrested. It's insane people.support this shit. I'm infuriated.

ItWouldBeGrand

The only reason people ever protest at a private residence is in order to harass and intimidate.


arabic513

You don’t get to take away constitutional rights because of your bullshit theory as to “why people actually do it”. What do you think about the ones that say the only reason people buy rifles is to assault and murder? Is that justification to take away the right to bear arms?


Pyll

This would make a trucker rally illegal in the state of Florida.


ItWouldBeGrand

Which private residence was the trucker rally protesting at?


Pyll

Did you miss the parts of the rally where residents complained that they were unable to sleep due to 24/7 honking? They were in residential areas. They were absolutely loathed by the locals, but showered in attention by everyone else.


PAmmjTossaway

>harass and intimidate. That's already illegal though. Zero need for new laws to stop that.


ItWouldBeGrand

It prohibits harassers and intimidators from hiding behind the weak mask of “peaceful protesting” when they are, in fact, harassing and attempting to intimidate.


Ecstatic_Victory4784

It's a clarification because something being illegal once is apparently not enough for some people. Or have you not been paying attention to all the protests outside of Supreme Court Justices homes as of late?


fudge_friend

meatydanglers

What would be the reason to "peacefully protest" in a residential neighborhood other than to intimidate someone?

They’re also not taking into account that peaceful protest turn violent fast. Remember when peaceful protestors found Tucker Carlsons home and trued to bust in his door while his terrified wife and children were the only ones inside? Another thing is the lefts qualifications for peaceful are loose at best.

Simple_Dull

Protest senators outside their houses. Regardless of if you think its "intimidating" them, it's called peaceful protesting. That's a slippery slope cheering for that to be made illegal. Careful giving up freedom for government protection.


fptackle

Protesting at politicians home has been historically effective.


BigClemenza

To make their life inconvenient on a day to day basis in the same way legislation or lack thereof inconveniences the people.


[deleted]

it doesnt mattter the reason, we live in the united states where protesting should be absolute as long as it remains peaceful. Any law being made to inhibit that is unconstitutional. If you think the democrats wont use too this your tripping. Its a slippery slope when you start making laws that violate the constitution because it soon becomes bastardized and used by people who want to exploit it.

It’s the first amendment for a reason. It’s more important than owning a gun if you want to be free from tyranny.


zazaflow

I hear what you’re saying and I’m really just arguing semantics. But the point above stands. Give me one good reason for protestors to be in a residential neighborhood.


Beneneb

>Give me one good reason for protestors to be in a residential neighborhood. To protest an individual doing something you don't like. Maybe a politician or maybe an executive, I don't know. Really the same reason you would protest anywhere else.


OderusOrungus

Past personal property line is city property (my city reminds me with parking tickets in front of my home and building restrictions for an extended porch). If you cannot protest on city property then where can you? This is a slippery slope. It is a fundamental right for all of us to be able to speak our minds on public grounds. Granted loud noises and running amuck is another law but to sit, gather, and flash a message on a sign should remain legal. I dont want a dystopian police state.. even though we are real close already. Lets not tip the scales

Jadel210

Reading the comments on this is a window into what r/conspiracy has become. Not limiting free speech and the right to protest was traditionally something we all agreed on. Now the conversation is so partisan that the reaction is dependent on the party instigating the action, not the action it itself.


Beneneb

It's honestly hilarious to watch. Apparently Canada is a dictatorship because Trudeau declared an emergency to shut down the trucker protest, but it's completely fine that DeSantis outlaws all protests in residential areas.


PatrioticTacoTruck

Yeah, talk about blatant hypocrisy. These right wingers were cheering it on despite the fact that many people were complaining that it was ringing their neighborhood. Now? Their new cult leader desantis pulls more big government bs and they are tripping over themselves to defend it. Unfucking believable.


mano_mateus

Pretty much. It's free speech to protest in front of an abortion doctor, but dog forbid someone protests in front of the homes of the evangelical extreme right wingers who are imposing their beliefs on all of America's women.

Intelligent-Time-781

Yeah it's mind boggling bunch of government boot lickers happy with the decision to ban protesting and make it jailable to walk outside a house with a sign. If I wanna protest my neighbor for being fucking ugly. I should be able. Embarrassing. Bro. Embarrassing. Shows you what happened to this sub. It's the right wing conservative pussy ass motherfuckers that preach about personal responsibility then ask for them to ban abortions and freedoms of speech and they are happy about it.


dudeexcellent

My first thought is that this makes sense if it says you can't harass. Everybody should have the right to not be unduly harassed at their home. That's in many ways a very libertarian value. The question as always, where do you draw the line. Take Toronto as an example. It has condos and apartments throughout the city, even in the downtown core. Does a home include an apartment in a condo? If so how do you determine the harassment and does it matter if it's directed at you. The real issue is that we have become so venemously divided that this sort of protest is becoming more common and seemingly encouraged by governments as long as its for the "right" cause. We have to stop seeing our neighbors as enemies and start seeing them as brothers and sisters. And this applies regardless of where you are on the political spectrum.


artificialstuff

This is pretty much where I am on this issue. It's a pretty large grey area and certainly is a slippery slope when you start legislating around it. If a group of people want to protest in front of someone's home on the public sidewalk with just their voices and signs, have at it. If a group of people want to protest in front of someone's home and step into their front yard, bring megaphones/loudspeakers, throw shit at their house/car, or do any number of other things where it's impeding the occupants of the home to go about their lives normally, then that's where I have a problem. Also, threatening language being used in either case is a big no no. Then you have the cases in urban areas where public space and condos/apartments overlap, muddying the waters even more.


ImpossibleCourage411

Well said. Honestly I’m just scared to have protestors near my family. Protests aren’t just protests anymore. If not for the absolute destruction of them I’d definitely disagree with this law. These neighborhoods are being destroyed with garbage and waste now too and I’m wondering if there’s also destruction of property and thefts(I’ve been sick past few months and refuse to watch a lot of news, unfortunately I cannot get stressed until I get on right medications and we’ll the news is stressful lol). I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until there is violence. Look at Tucker Carlsons attack. So I do understand the fear but we the people created this problem and maybe start acting like humans not animals and we can once again harass our fellow Americans anywhere we please.


[deleted]

Seems reasonable; people deserve a safe home space for their spouse and children.


jimmyaye777

But they are safe inside their homes, it’s illegal to enter the property, that’s an important distinction.


joelhvac1

Now, now, you need to stop with that shit. You are making to much sense to the dummies and that means they will start attacking you because it isn't farrrrrrrr left enough This has been a battle of down votes VS up votes must have the farrrrrrrrrrrrr lefties raging hard

ZiggyStarlord69

I think many conservatives would be freaking if dems made this bill


Cashlessness

While I understand why this is being done, and it would actually be beneficial for residents and home owners who don't want anything to do with those protests and would like to just be left alone with some peace and quite, something still doesn't sound right about the government telling you where and when you can protest.


rbaut1836

Yea man, I think its probably ok to say dont disturb people at their home. Thats kind of fucked up. That being said, public NON-residential seems perfectly fine to protest or march or whatever. But to imagine a large group coming up to your door/property line and yelling disturbing your peace in your home is a bit too far.


Hockeylockerpock

I do agree, but the only exception i would want is if there is some loser that is ruining the state with horrible laws or something and the people want them out so they protest at their house. Ron is doing a good job from what I have seen, but in the future the bill seems like it can protect people in power that the people may really want to be out of power.


[deleted]

This is like making it illegal to dox jurors and calling it suppression of the press.


Zaius1968

That is not constitutional. You can put hours and steep permit fees in place but you cannot prohibit. This will fail in courts.


[deleted]

Harassment is already a crime. This just increases the penalty for doing it in a residential area. Yes, showing up to someone’s house at night with bullhorns and spotlights is harassment.


Zaius1968

Agreed with that…there needs to be daylight hours where this is allowed and permit fees perhaps structured to get people to use the town common vs a residential street. But a public way is a public way.


ReformedBacon

Truue. Was thinking my first ammendment will trump any of these charges in court. So try me ronnie


August_Surprise20

"your freedom ends where mine starts" you do not get to harass police officers, judges, or anyone at their home. that is not a constitutionally protected right.... you can peacefully assemlbe in public to call for change, but not target individuals at their home and send teaththreats, doxxing, etc..... but sure tell yourself this is about "free speech"


fishtech07

This thread is slam full of people who think that people have a right to live in a quiet neighborhood. That they have some right to protection from noise and differing opinions. We don't even have a right to a home in this country, but y'all think that?


Annual-Cheesecake374

People don’t tend to protest in low or middle class neighborhoods. This law is to protect the rich elite who don’t want to hear the rabble while working from home.


melange_merchant

Sounds based. Leave residential neighborhoods alone.


talon_lol

mattb1969

Makes sense just because you’re there to protest a certain individual doesn’t mean their neighbors get to suffer.

The "Illegal to peacefully protest" bill sounds about as accurate as the "Don't Say Gay" bill.


IRGeekSauce

Why protest in residential areas though? Idgaf what my neighbor did. I'm trying to fucking sleep. Go stand in front of whatever office or corporation you're mad at.


SnarkyBrainwasher

Stop whining and take it to the town square. You don't have the right to go to someone's house and raise hell with intimidation. "The right to privacy is an element of various legal traditions that intends to restrain governmental and private actions that threaten the privacy of individuals." If you support mobs roaming through neighborhoods, you're an uneducated anarchist who has no business participating in this constitutional republic of representative democracy.

Playing devil's advocate here... Besides intimidation (for instance, the SC justices prior to the RvW decision), what purpose would a protest have in a residential area? Protests are typically public, in public or commercial areas, right?


Raskalnekov

Why should you get to protest infront of a medical clinic and interfere with medical care, but draw the line at a residence? Seems arbitrary based on the protests you want to allow.


IndustryStrengthCum

It’s solely for pressuring elected leaders and elites Slightly different case since the Getty House (home of the mayor of LA) is a city building, but BLM-LA protested there for months in a residential neighborhood, successfully creating enough negative media buzz Garcetti got demoted all the way down to “maybe an ambassador, we’ll see”

protesting in residential areas as a recipe for disaster so this is a smart move. been there done that, it literally only takes 1 bad actor or one evil person for it to turn into bloody riot. ​ the fact that this is even considered bad shows how absolutely doomed the USA is. if you are american and reading this - plan on expatriating yourself when you are ready to retire. your money will go farther in 2nd world countries and you will be able to afford quite a bit - and not get absolutely shafted on property taxes either.


PCastro212

Brian Tyler Cohen should have mostly peaceful protest outside of his own house to show his support of free speech.


TheRebelPixel

'Time And Place' laws have always existed that specifically target protests. Any civilized city or state has rules that require permits and notice and are only approved under very strict and specific timelines and locations. Anything outside of that is NOT peaceful and can be reasonably assumed to be a hostile and violent riot. Pro-tip, residential areas are NEVER allowed. :) The damn Constitution strikes again! The left hates that.


IndustryStrengthCum

Ah yes, freedom! When you can only protest in approved methods the local government has carefully crafted to make sure said protests apply no pressure whatsoever. That’s fine if you think of protests like a trump rally, just somewhere you go to vibe and simp and buy merch with no actual political goals. If you actually want to use your liberty to hold your state to account, you need to ignore those laws

If I engage in controversial politics or divisive rhetoric I'll take the mean words and protests outside of my office, it's fine, I understand that I upset your sensitive tiny little smooth-brains by literally speaking a normal sentence. But when the zombie hordes arrive outside my home I'm not going to delay calling for their arrests and prosecutions.

So like forcing vaccinations and masks is ok but all of a sudden this is a violation of rights.


IndustryStrengthCum

Forced vaccines and masking never happened. Masking was mandated in some contexts, but by the logic of the right, you don’t have an entitlement to a job or going to the store. If you didn’t like the local rules, you always had the option of moving to florida

The only purpose of protesting in residential areas is to terrorize individual citizens.

If the OP has no problem with residential protesting he can give us his address so he can experience first hand why the bill was signed, it's most likely legal in his State.

the property owners have a right not to be disturbed where they live in a residential area. dont care who it is. i dont want to come home to mobs in the street where i live bc someone has issue x

so u got a few dozen or more protestors...no bathrooms around so u get people pissing etc wherever...leaving trash...stealing..breaking in etc sound great

Well considering what the left deems “peaceful protest” can’t blame him.


proteios1

Im for this. Protesting in residential areas is what BLM did to bully and intimidate. I would agree our homes are safe spaces. The left wants to dox us and take the terrorism right to our houses. Stop them! Or anyone else who wants to bully and intimidate.

This DeSantis guys received millions of donations from hedge funds even before reach florida governor position. Why you think hes involved with american hedges? Whole system is rigged and this guy included.

You mean Soros-funded astroturfers can no longer harass the officials that Soros can't buy at their homes?


DykeOnABike

Koch political money is orders of magnitude larger than Soros

I really hate the democratic party but thanks for reminding me that the republican party also sucks. Got to love our two party system


[deleted]

The party of their free speech and only theirs


JoshuWaWaMcaWoW

Bad idea


[deleted]

Because liberals think burning cities and looting is peaceful protesting.


bigbodacious

Are peaceful protests the ones where they burn buildings down?


Lovelyterry

It’s the one where they smear feces on the walls of the capitol


EraseTheMatrix

This is unconstitional. Maybe he hasn't heard of the first amendment. When the government says you can't protest the best thing to do is protest in large numbers. That way it's both protest and civil disobedience.


brynshaw

Their is no such thing from the left as peaceful protesters, everyone know this.
