🚨August 2021 — Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. State-run liquor store. Amagansett Press (Jason Gutterman) and his son Jason is standing ~20 feet from the door on the public walkway/parking area, filming. He never enters the store. Staff come out, claim he’s “bothering customers,” tell him to get off “their property,” and call police when he refuses. Officer Kaiafa arrives, asks staff if they want him trespassed, then tells Gutterman she needs his ID to formally trespass him and enter it in the system. He points out it’s a state-owned liquor store, he’s on public property, committed no crime, and there is no lawful basis to trespass him from a public sidewalk. He asks for the property line and a supervisor. She continues demanding ID. He produces it under threat of arrest/detainment. She runs it, hands it back, and leaves. No arrest. No citation. Filming in public from public property is legal. A government liquor store’s sidewalk is not private property. Staff dislike of cameras does not create a crime or a valid trespass. ❓Why are police always enforcing employees feelings instead of the law? ❓Is “they want him trespassed” actually probable cause to force a person to ID themselves with name and DOB? ❓Why do police always take the employee’s side over the Constitution?
