In NYC, you can trespass anyone from a private business at any time and for no reason at all.

NY Penal Law § 140.00 says a person in premises open to the public is there with license/privilege unless they defy a lawful order not to enter or remain, personally communicated by the owner or another authorized person.

So, in plain English:

“You have to leave. You are not allowed back.”

The owner does not need to say: “You have to leave because…”

There was a ton of hoopla around this when Radio City and MSG trespassed lawyers that were suing the company and venues.

Everyone was up in arms and nothing happened.

We have a document detailing our competitors. So I guess I have to ask... Am I normal?

Do those documents detail personal information, like face identification, family, etc.?

Its usually about the company, not the individual

Crazy to see this attempt to be normalized here. No. No, this is not normal.

People are making a concerted effort to force your business to do something, and you don't want to know their names or how much influence they actually have?

when i'm doing large presentations to prospective clients my company gives me what they call a "look book". This is a deck with information about every person in the audience all the way down to personality traits, triggering words/phrases, and negotiating style. I think it's pretty normal.

Some of you run in dark circles, and this is coming from a guy who got paid to kill people.

If your document details personal information about your competitors employees and their personal contact details then I think the situation might be comparable.

And very much not normal.
