If a restricted area is in full view from a public area, then which area “loses”/gets demoted? In the case of a restricted area now becoming public because it is adjacent to a public area with no barriers, the participants and activities that requires whatever benefit afforded by the restriction lose e.g. privacy. In the case of a public area now adjacent to a restricted area in turn becoming restricted, then this method now becomes a way to close public areas and activities allowed in those areas on a whim e.g. the police playing copyrighted music when being recorded in an effort to get any uploads to YouTube being struck down by a DMCA copyright notice.
