Busking Laws in SoCal??

scottishbastard · 10-29-2009, 10:17 PM

Not that I'm one for observing laws, but I'm having some trouble researching the legality of busking, specifically in southern california.

Most places I read say that in the U.S. busking is protected under free speech laws. The sources I've found say that several people have won cases challenging busking laws, and all the cases I've found where people have been prosecuted were dropped.

But Los angeles is all about the money, so it seems weird to me that they would allow buskers.

We basically just want to set up somewhere in venice/downtown/hollywood and play songs for an hour or two.

Any info at all would be appreciated.

They'd probably get you for loitering, disturbing the peace, etc..

Man in Black · 10-29-2009, 10:29 PM

that's weak, they do that shit all the time here

better than the guys who try and sell you stolen shit and the whores that stand around the convenience stores asking you for change

scottishbastard · 10-30-2009, 12:03 AM

No shit. Im doing it no matter what.

**Mafoo** · 10-30-2009, 12:16 AM

what in the fuck is busking?

al-Mu'akhkhir · 10-30-2009, 12:18 AM

why do you always talk about not observing laws and then come on here and ask legal questions?

don't you have any real life friends that you can make yourself look like a retard in front of? I'm embarrassed for you dude.

scottishbastard · 10-30-2009, 12:20 AM

Uh, well, let's see...Just because I smoke pot doesn't mean I dont know the pot laws. Just because someone intentionally kicks someone's ass doesnt mean they dont want to know what trouble they can get in if they do. Don't be so fucking stupid.

Btw, Busking is playing music/performing etc. on the street for money. Its like upscale panhandeling with music.

**Mafoo** · 10-30-2009, 12:21 AM

like that dude on rollerblades with the guitar at venice beach

al-Mu'akhkhir · 10-30-2009, 12:22 AM

yeah i know what busking is dipshit.

actually make that mega dipshit. I'm not even going to reply to the rest of your post because you are so fucked in the head. nigga

scottishbastard · 10-30-2009, 12:28 AM

Eat me. I was answering Mafoo.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 10-30-2009, 12:30 AM

no i believe you were addressing me.

scottishbastard · 10-30-2009, 12:35 AM

Thats why I put it in two different paragraphs ass. The first one was to you, and then I said "btw, busking etc. etc.". Maybe if you paid attention to the posters in here who arent violently offended by everything I post, you'd realize someone asked me a fucking question.

al-Mu'akhkhir · 10-30-2009, 12:36 AM

no i believe you were addressing me.

scottishbastard · 10-30-2009, 12:40 AM
