[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer here. The protesters are using the public space rules DC has. The megaphones on the ground are not considered abandoned property or litter if you know that is not the intent. You would win in court ultimately, but do you want to risk going to court over throwing the megaphones away? I know for a fact that they group there protesting has a lawyer on speed dial. Same thing with the OP's original comment about restaurants playing music. The issue is intent. Could the restaurant simply say that they are exercising free speech? Yes, but if somebody wanted to take them to court they would have to potentially prove they were not doing it just to make a more pleasant dining experience. The issue here is intent and MPD does not bother themselves with that. The courts do.[/quote] Incorrect. Abandoned property is litter. I would be tossing the sirens in trash bags and throwing them out. Every day.[/quote]
