Bitani Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I can see a hellstorm a-brewin' for the first time they actually try to enforce that.just found out this was done back in september...Surprised it didn't get more attention, supposing it's still in effect.

ReconRat Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 It was more or less the renewal and update of an older Secret Service set of laws.The interpretation was a grey area, and now is a new grey area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 yea, it doesn't take your right to protest away, but it makes it a legit felony if you cause a serious issue like assault someone, trespass on restricted grounds/areas/buildings, or try to impede someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm sorry, but the OP's interpretation is much more controversial and I say we roll with that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Time, place, and manner restrictions have always been valid as long as they're content neutral, allow ample alternative channels that don't exclude an audience (I.e. protest is allowed 200 yards away, but you can't stick them in the basement of a parking garage), and any permit schemes have to be reasonable (meaning a single person can't have final say on what your poster says, and they can't require 200 days notice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
