If you take a picture of someone and deliberatly PUBLISH it in a context that implies that person is immoral or of bad character, you will be subject to civil suit.

If you are in PUBLIC, you are fair game. PUBLICLY entering a store is fair game. You don't want to be caught PUBLICLY, don't go there.

I haven't commented on what I believe is or isn't immoral.

Yes you have. You keep saying that having your pic taken while entering or leaving a porn shop is " tainting someone as immoral or of bad character ". Your words from post 248.

People sue all the time.

Public actions are not private. Public pics are fair game.

Local police "responded to the property last night after Baldwin called them about 9:30 p.m.," the newspaper related. "He said the workers were giving him a hard time for taking photographs. Police told Baldwin he was free to protest and take photographs as long as he was not on the store's property."

You must have a tin ear. I haven't expressed a view whether I believe visiting a porn shop is immoral. If you are going to quote me, please use the entire sentence. You are the one claiming these people are immoral. I haven't expressed a view that they are or are not.

My comment:

"This is not the same as deliberately tainting someone as immoral or of bad character which would be actionable in a court of law."
