SEC Releases Demonstration and Protest Statutes Compilations
The Security Executive Council (SEC) now offers compilations of state-specific statutes for preventing illegal or dangerous behavior during protests, demonstrations, picketing situations and labor disruptions.
Certain activities that may occur during demonstrations, picketing situations or labor disruptions are deemed illegal under various state statutes, and each state deals with such activities differently. Corporations that need to know how their state defines and regulates activities ranging from assault, sabotage and terrorist threats to disorderly conduct and civil disorder usually have to search through public records from numerous sources to find all the applicable information to help them keep legal protests safe.
