Daym this is unconstitutional. States and municipalities can write anything down on paper they like and call it a law, but that doesn't mean it's enforceable. It does however add additional hoops people protesting have to jump through. In this case state and federal court hoops. Albeit, state courts often look at 'laws' like this in chambers and instantly redact them without even time-in-court. Cities, aamof, often call them ordinances... Because they ORDAIN them to be so. Not because they have any legitimate standing under state or federal law. My town has literally dozens of them that are obviously not constitutional mostly aimed at the displaced workers they've literally created by their greed-based 'planning', and local courts are 'packed' with elected judges who often have little legal experience, no interest in the judicial 'carer path', rubber stamp those "ordinances" and convict people for them (none are incarcerate-able). Which is like saying if you don't like our law sue us in state court buddy. Rr "When I got to the halls of Justice that what I saw there... Just-Us" ~Dick Gregory
That subject lines should get some good attention... Today's Womens March where I live caused traffic jams all over downtown due to steady stream of Peds X-ing everywhere! WTF would the popo do about that? Start gunning down women all over town for not yielding to cars? ROTF ROTF! Rr PS: And remember folks, When you '#protest' with the media reporting how smooth it went, the police commenting on how 'well-organized'/peaceful it was ... you weren't protesting. As the Wall Street Journal pointed out a few years ago in a series of articles... What the rich fear the most is violence in the streets directed at them. Terrorize the rich. http://auntieimperial.blogspot.com/2011/07/for-damn-good-reason-too-why-rich... Start with your Senator. All of them are wealthy... Even Burn-E. The average net worth for the American White middle class is just a touch over $100k. Compare to your own Senator, then terrorize them. It gets the lactic acid flowing and tenderizes them so they're oh so tender when bar-b-cued. Mmmm Mmmm good! Rr

Does not shut down protests, it says police cannot help protesters block traffic. What I would like is a bill that says that when protesters block traffic, police should vanish from sight and let drivers drive over the bastards.

There was an interesting incident that occurred in Portland Oregon 18 months ago. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/07/greenpeace_protest_iceb... Close to a dozen protestors hung from a tall Portland bridge (St John's Bridge) in a fairly successful attempt to block the passage of an oil-company ship that was headed to the Arctic for oil exploration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Eq-e6L4ywA×
Being a very liberal/progressive city, naturally the cops didn't do much to dissuade the protestors from continuing their protests. (one enthusiastic person with a scoped .22 caliber rifle could have done far more to discourage the event than the police did.) By the time I paid attention to it, on television, I noticed that a Portland Fire truck (?) was being used to block the passage of all four lanes of traffic across the bridge, despite the fact that the protestors themselves were not even arguably blocking that traffic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWZwgsbGewE From 4:27 through 4:33.× It suddenly occurred to me that far from being opposed to the protestors, the cops were actually ASSISTING the protestors: The cops were doing that (blocking the traffic) which would have been illegal for the protestors themselves to do; effectively, the protestors were acting as a justification and impetus for the police to further obstruct and inconvenience the public. I am not suggesting that the average, rank-and-file cop would have recognized what was really going on, unless it was pointed out. A word from a high official, say the mayor, to the Chief of Police, "Looks like an unsafe situation! You'd better block of traffic over the bridge with a fire-truck!", might at least arguably have looked like a plausible tactic. But it still could have been a coordinated (informally) arrangement. With plausible deniability, of course! Jim Bell ×
