Cop Orders Me To Make A Documentary So I Obey

This Cop was on one. I heard that he was asking the costume characters to leave in front of the Chinese Theater so I went to find out what was going on. This started a chain of events such as a tourist getting mad at me because I wouldn't stop filming to take a picture with her son even though I explained that the situation happening was more important since 1st Amendment Rights appeared to be being violated. At one point the cop was telling tourists not to tip the Transformer for taking pictures this happened right before I was able to record. FYI, helping injured people on Hollywood Boulevard while I'm there is true and I've done this numerous times which can be verified by the LAFD. Also I have found several lost children and returned them safely to their parents this can also be proven so I don't appreciate an "Officer of the Law" trying to intimidate me or other characters for being on Hollywood. For him to belittle the other two performers was an abuse of his authority in my opinion. As for the hot dog vendors, three years ago, I paid for an ate a hot dog. I suffered my first bout with food poisoning. I found out through talking to a police person when they did a sting, that the hot dog sellers have NO HEALTH PERMIT, do not refrigerate the hot dogs and when their vans were raided the Police found the hot dogs covered with ROACHES.

LAPD Using Threats, Citations & Arrests to Keep Performers off Hollywood

LAPD has issued a verbal ban on all characters and street performers. Although there is no official law on the books to enforce it. Because of a few bad apples, the LAPD and the city have wiped out all performers on Hollywood Blvd. To enforce the ban, the LAPD has used threats, bogus citations of loitering and arrests to get their point across. City Councilman Eric Garcetti who is responsible for Hollywood & Highland has denied numerous attempts to open a dialogue or to speak on the matter. Needless to say, I will not be voting for him in any capacity again.

Is Disney Behind Hollywood Characters Assassination

As of this writing no one has heard officially from Councilmember Eric Garcetti or the LAPD regarding the enforced crack down on the street performers and Characters on Hollywood Blvd. Across the internet there are stories, rumors and allegations behind the crack down. It seems that the majority of the public doesn't understand the harshness and the waste of police power for a few bad apples. Many people think that DISNEY, who also owns ABC as well as the El Capitan Theatre and the Jimmy Kimmel Show which sits directly across the street from the Kodak Theater, is behind the push.
