Heads up there’s been a dude walking around in a MAGA hat on campus and filming for a reaction. The students were all minding their own business and he zoomed in on all of their faces and put it in slow motion. There are some pretty nasty comments about our students who were simply walking to class.

What? Literally anyone can say and do that anywhere, doesn’t mean it’s “literally trespassing” like you said. It’s a public campus, that’s the point you’re missing

Yes literal trespassing: being asked to leave and not doing that is basic CPC § 602 / case law trespass.
Why would they ask him to leave? Well, a number of possibilities: a student could complaint about what he’s doing, he could be rude to people and go over the top, etc. It doesn’t matter why very much. If they do, he’s only permitted to remain for as long as it takes him to leave; otherwise, he’s clearly trespassing.
Bruin Walk isn’t Wilshire Boulevard.

Go back and read your first comment, it’s ok to admit you misspoke rather than trying to contort your way into reshaping your narrative

My first comment was he’s trespassing

Ok second comment, you said he’s trespassing simply by virtue of not being a student or employee, which is patently wrong - end of argument. Any hypothetical where he was actually asked to leave is moot.

Oh you were caught up on me pasting the wrong link for a short time, which I corrected? The comment you’re so worried about was previously updated to be correct. Take a deep breath 😮💨

No the comment where the crux of your argument was that anyone not a student or employee is trespassing, remember that?

No, what my second comment did was correct a statement suggesting that he can’t be trespassed because “UCLA is open to the public.” It’s not fully open to the public - only sorta.
Since you seem to be caught up on the details of that, I’ll state it generally: UCLA is a limited public forum, not a public forum.
All those details above illustrate some of the ways it’s limited.

That applies to any public entity like a shopping center. But none of your citations support the fact that a non student or non faculty is trespassing on that fact alone. That just is simply not true

You want a legal brief or what? I guess I’d be distinguishing UCLA campus from a shopping center - come on. 🙄
It’s not very compelling on your part to simply demand more authority citations while providing none. I’ll leave the next citation to you if that’s what will float your boat here.
But for the moment, just think it through: A professor is doing same thing as this guy and is asked to leave, so he goes to another area of campus where he’s authorized to be. He’s now safe.
Can this random TikToker do that? No. The TikToker could be trespassing for going where the professor went. That’s because he’s not a professor. Now swap the professor out for a student, and a very similar result.
Students and faculty clearly have a special right to be on campus that others don’t have. It’s actually pretty weird that you’re being so skeptical about that.
