Those are not my "first principles", but otherwise I'm not really interested in explaining to people on the internet what they are.

But people are free to be in public and look at things that are in public view. This is not a statement of my beliefs or principles it's just a matter of fact. If you disagree, can you provide evidence?

Sorry, but matters of fact, in my experience, rarely are. Rather, they are typically assumptions, and personal and cultural projections about reality. It's a common trope around here to state opinions, assumptions, and unexamined ideas as fact as a rhetorical device, and when pressed, to avoid such an examination. At the end of the day it's not up to me to prove that they aren't; it's up to you to prove that they are.

So I take that to mean you are unable to substantiate your claim with evidence.

Generally people are permitted to do something unless it is prohibited, so as I see it the burden is on you to prove your claim.
