I'd recommend having a banner/sign which explains why you are doing-so, so that you won't be accused/convicted of what others assume you to have been meaning.
It's nearly-impossible to get people to understand what one means, when one's motivation isn't identical with theirs.
& discovering how their-motivation is fundamentally-different from one's-own has to happen before one can have ANY chance at dismantling miscommunication.
& miscommunications now can have years-in-prison attached to them.
