What you need to know about is how far the clams will go during a
picket. They will always call the police. We have a pack of material
available to print out for the cops.
I have had idiot culties swerve their cars towards me during pickets. I've had them come out to try and waste my time with pointless natter. I even had one try to snatch the bundle of fliers I was holding, until he saw the little digital camera I was holding. :)
Other people have been physically assaulted, grabbed, shoved around. Watching the indoctrinated makes one realize there's a real possibility that one of them might get pumped up and go too far, so you have to be careful.
If they find out who you are, they will try to shudder you into silence by annoying your neighbors and friends, your workplace or school. Before you put yourself "out there," you need to make sure security precautions are in place. You need to establish a perimeter.
Security Precautions
1. Let your friends and family know that they might be contacted by a Scientology PI seeking information on you. They may pose as police officers or potential employers. Establish a safety perimeter by warning people close to you not to give out any information, no matter what the pretense.
2. Password protect all your accounts, including utilities. Scientology representatives will try to acquire personal information, including bank and phone records. If possible, arrange to be notified when a request for information comes through.
3. Notify your neighbors to be on the lookout for strange vehicles in your neighborhood. Scientology operatives will often 'stake out' a target, as well as canvass the neighborhood asking questions about you.
4. Never leave anything in your vehicle! Don't leave mail lying about in your car where addresses are visible. Make sure your vehicle registration isn't visible from the outside.
5. Cross-cut shredder. Buy it, use it! Shred everything that might have information Scientology can use. There have been numerous reports of people having their trash gone through or even stolen. Dump kitty litter on top of the shredded documents to make it more attractive.
6. Home and phone security. Practice basic security. Keep your doors locked and your pets inside when you're not home. Make sure your kids know not to give out any information to callers. Again, callers may pose as police or other officials. Make sure everyone is aware of that.
7. Be alert for anything "strange." Keep a log of any and all unusual occurances, time and date. It is important to maintain a timeline of these. If possible, write down the license plate of any mysterious cars following you or parked in your neighborhood.
You can expect to be followed. False police reports may be filed against you. Your neighborhood may be fliered with libellous accusations against you. Get copies! Most importantly, be sure to publicize any and all threats, stalkers, information seekers, or intimidation. Communication, in cases like this, is of utmost importance. This type of intimidation only works if people keep silent about it. When people realize that they're not the only ones targetted, it becomes less intimidating.

"Imagine a church so dangerous, you must sign a release form before you can receive its "spiritual assistance." This assistance might involve holding you against your will for an indefinite period, isolating you from friends and family, and denying you access to appropriate medical care. You will of course be billed for this treatment - assuming you survive it. If not, the release form absolves your caretakers of all responsibility for your suffering and death.
Welcome to the Church of Scientology."
