The street and the sidewalk are public places. They are not people's private homes. This is just a backdoor to making protests illegal.

    It's a totally stupid idea. Reminds me a lot of the British parliament banning protests within a 3km radius or something. Then there were also bans on anti-abortion protests, meaning that people can't even gather at Hagley Park here in Christchurch, which is across the damned street from the main hospital. It was a great spot because so many cars would see them, but now that's illegal because femi-nazis or something. It happened overseas first and then because we are a NATO vassal we had to copy their protest laws.

    Can "Evil CEO" simply never leave home or call their workplace (Evil Co) home?

    I wondered about this as soon as I read the headline, what's the story if you live on the premises of your business?

    I'd love to hear an actual answer to this.

    A friend of mine realised that office space is often cheaper than actual rental accommodation. We were thinking it'd be pretty cool to rent an office, and live in it (illegally) pretty sure in most cases that's not allowed. Depends on the type of work I guess. I knew a nomadic guy who slept in his car in the Foodstuffs car park when he worked at the distribution centre. Security didn't like it. Most people don't sleep at their workplace but no doubt there's an exception somewhere.
