Facts

[@djpj9174]

I appreciate it makes content but why on earth do you not just tell them they cannot do a damn thing to stop you and they have absolutely no control over what happens above their properties. They NEED to be told they have no authority or there's little point in the videos. They also NEED to be told the laws on public photography. Create hand outs of the section of legislation for both.
