I heard some discussion on environmental issues with regard to property rights on the 17 Feb podcast. I would suggest looking into work done by the Property and Environemnt Research Center (www.perc.org).

Many times liberty activists handing out information for the Fully Informed Jury Association have been told that they can’t film on federal property by the US Marshals and other law enforcement officers at the US District courthouse in lower Manhattan, New York City.
