When Political Free Speech turns to Civil Liability

In this video Attorney Steve discusses California hate speech law. Specifically, California Civil Code Section 51.7 known as the "Ralph Act." The jury instructions are discussed.

Keep in mind when you are rallying or protesting based on political parties in the state of California, you need to have some degree of respect for eachother, or should I say, at least do not threaten or commit acts of violence motivated by a perception of another persons political party, or political views such as:

1. Antifa (Anti Fascists)
2. Black Lives Matter
3. Trump Supporters
4. Alt-Right
5. Alt-Left
6. Others

When you recognize and identify someone by these types of political affiliations, and the threaten violence (which can be done by words and/or acts) for example:

1. Take the Trump hat off before I mace you!
2. Trump will not Make America Great, I am going to make you suffer

Things like this. These things, while seemingly protected by the first amendment, if the threat or actual violence is used, could lead to a lawsuit being filed under the Ralph Act.

This should not be taken lightly as California Defendants can face a claim for the following depending upon the facts of the case:

1. $25,000 civil penalty
2. Punitive damages (an amount designed to "punish" and "deter" future unlawful conduct
3. Claim for attorney fees

So keep it peaceful out there in the trenches. Learn to talk it out peacefully. Its okay to "talk politics" but I think it's also important to "listen" and bear in mind that violence can also be considered an "assault and battery" which can carry lifelong criminal penalties.

So fight for your side, but keep it in line with the requirements of the law. Hope you like this video! If so, subscribe, leave comments, or give me a THUMBS UP!! Thank you!!
