Bob Harris vs Scientology

Clearwater, FL once had a very vibrant downtown where people would gather, shop, and dine. Unfortunately, our downtown has developed into a mere bypass by residents and visitors. The Church of Scientology has not been a good neighbor to our citizenry. The church has purchased a majority of the downtown properties, which now stand vacant serving as a tax burden to our local residents. As a real estate agent, I thought it prudent to learn which properties are member-owned tax paying properties, and which are church-owned tax exempt properties. So, on February 26th my family and I took a delightful walking tour of the downtown area provided by Cult City Tours. The tour guide noted that he would be pointing out many of the voluminous amounts of security cameras spread throughout downtown, and for us to try and discover some ourselves. I brought my laser with me in order to point out the cameras. I pointed out at least thirty cameras. All in all, it was a very enlightening fun tour.
        
         On Monday, March 22 two detectives arrived at my home and informed me that the Church of Scientology had pressed charges against me for destroying six of their security cameras. Videos shown to me by the detective were very revealing. I made the church aware through news outlets that I am willing to pay for the damages and pen a public apology. The church has not responded. This is a very serious felony charge of criminal mischief. The church despises Cult City tours, which may be a motivating factor in this effort. A google search reveals no precedent for laser damaging security camera convictions in the world. I made an innocent mistake, one which will not be made again. Scientology is coming after me and I need assistance. Make your voice heard. Please help with the fines and attorney fees by contributing and sharing this story with everyone. Let Scientology know that a bullying church is not a friendly church. Any overages from this pursuit will be donated to Shriner’s Hospital for Children. Thank you so much for your attention.
