| If you allow passage for all, you can't restrict it arbitrarily.
I know more about private property in regards to the 4th Amendment, but in those situations anything that is accessible to the public, like a walkway to your front door, driveway, etc those are all legally permissible areas for a police officer to be, even though they haven't been invited onto your property. I'd imagine they'd make a similar argument that you can't have a part of your property open to the public but then only restrict people passing out phonebooks/flyers/etc.
