Wealthy Malibu residents sneakily erecting fake signs to ward off the public: ‘This is a scam’

Wealthy beachfront property owners in Malibu have apparently employed a sneaky tactic to keep the riff-raff away: official-looking “private property” signs which warn folks “trespassers will be prosecuted.”
The issue first came to light after a man filming the signs was confronted by an angry property owner, an interaction captured in a now -viral TikTok clip .
“You’re not on public property,” the property owner insists in the footage, telling the TikToker not to film him and trying to knock his phone away.
“Public access is the cornerstone of the Coastal Act, and the commission takes these issues very seriously,” Haage told the site.

A year ago, the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority accused Malibu officials of removing beach access signs, making it harder for people to find paths to the city’s public beaches.
This week, different TikTok footage showed a woman roping off the beach, abutting her $6 million Laguna Beach mansion, and yelling at people to leave and stay off her land.
Wealthy Californians have even paid for large rocks and boulders to be brought in to block beach accessways, according to SFGate.
