public property lawful assembly

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CALIFORNIA
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A LAWFUL ASSEMBLY AT OUR BUSINESSES TRYING TO GET SIGNATURES TO HAVE A WAL-MAET BUILT IN OUR TOWN. I DO KNOW WE CAN ASSEMBLY IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESSES AS LONG AS IT IS NOT PRIVATE PROPERTY. WE HAVE BEEN TREATENDED BY THE BUSINESS MANAGERS TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THE POLICE HAVE BEEN CALLED AND THEY REMINDED TO BUSINESS PEOPLE WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE THERE AS LONG AS WE DON'T BLOCK THE ENTRANCES OF THE BUSINESS OR CREATE A DISTRIBUNCE. WE HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THE LAWS APPLIED TO US, BUT ONE BUSINESS HAS THREATENDED TO HAVE OUR VEHICLS TOWED FROM THE PROPERTY. NOW MY QUESTION IS CAN THEY LEAGALLY HAVE THEM TOWED IF THEIR IS NO SIGN STATING WE CANNOT PARK THERE? I WAS TOLD IF THERE IS NO MUNISAPLE CODE SIGN STATIN FOR BUSINESS CUSTOMERS ONLY THEN WE ARE ALLOWED TO PARK THERE.

Why don't you NOT parked on their property?

And please stop yelling at us. All caps is generally considered the equivalent of shouting. It also makes it harder to read, not easier.

Who told you that?

That is only partially true. There are many circumstances where you can be lawfully removed from the property.

And, of course, you have NO legal right to disrupt the business in any way nor do you have a right to accost or annoy patrons.

Is there a sign at the entrances indicating that the property is for customers only? So long as the property complies with CVC 22658 et seq they can act to have vehicles of non-customers towed.

Oh, and YAY Wal-Mart! In these trying times, it is great to see businesses expanding and actually providing jobs. But, just HOW do you think you will compel Wal-Mart to build a store in your town? A petition just ain't gonna cut it.
