You do realize that disorderly conduct can be charged for simply being somewhere right? That is why it is possible to "accidentaly" protest. I have seen this happen in non political cases. Madison has an awesome Halloween event on state street. However, of course not all people participate in said event. But in some cases groups of people got "out of hand" (by police definition) and they began to tear gas them and arrest using "Disorderly Conduct" as the reasoning. With that, there were even law abiding citizens that were NOT participating in said event. Merely passing by, but ended up being tear gassed, cuffed, and then jailed for THE ENTIRE WEEKEND. So that explains how it can "accidently" happen. Now as for Disorderly Conduct, well said places are off-limits for even "peaceful" protests, which would get an individual arrested for having an Anti-<NAME YOUR FLAME> sign at such a location. This means that they (executive branch) can now travel around with out having to deal with the petty people bickering about things, cause they just paint an area around where they will be and say "Off Limits- Felony if you trespass". Yes, you can find a reason to 'justify' why they have done it. Just as people try to justify water-boarding.

FTFY. Sadly in recent years they have been selling tickets and limiting entry/exit points. A lot of the local businesses are not happy because the numbers are not as large as they used to be. Sure there is no longer damage to property, but that was all sent to the insurance company. It was small change compared to the loss of revenue on that single night.

Thats a shame. I guess it has been a while since I have been back there. It sure was something in its day though :-D I remember when they first began using Spotlights. The police thought they would "scare" people to go home after bar close. So there we all were bars all closing and many of us didn't care. We already had enough to drink and were wandering up and down state street in our costumes and playing our 'roles'. Then suddenly "BAM" Lights lit up state street so bright it was like noon hour. We then realized there were police on every building, but what did we care... We could now see from the Library mall to the capital! And what did we see? Atleast 100,000 people elbow to elbow all in costumes wandering and celbrating our drunkeness. This went on for almost 2 hours. Then the calvary came out:mad: with their bobby police outfits and pooping all over. Blocked off the street and told us all to go home. Eh, they were right time to move on. Looked at me phone and it was 4am and (I could barely even read it). Onward! We yelled, for there shall be parties somewhere around the corner!

Time to exercise the 2nd Amendment rights? "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." was written with this in mind! Some line about "Deterring Tyrannical Government" springs to mind.

I also realize that some police officers plant evidence and lie. That however in the general case is no more relevant than your statement.

And it possible to "accidentally" destroy property and "accidentally" kill others as well. And people get prosecuted for those too.

You must be aware of different political events tha the ones I know about because almost all such events are in areas which already have use restrictions in place. And protesters in such locations are already often excused from such enforcement simply because those doing the enforcement choose not to enforce the existing restrictions until something gets completely out of hand.

Actually more to the point I understand there is no such thing and never has been such a thing as an unrestricted freedom of any sort in the US. I also understand exactly how the legal system usually treats real protests which are conducted in a reasonable manner (thus respecting other rights) and also how protesters now specifically attempt to force legal action by trampling on other rights solely to gain media attention. And I am rather certain that the constitution s

The difference there is that the officer is clearly breaking the law and can be prosecuted as such. An example of the system still working. Granted they may not get caught, but the line is clear... They broke the law and it should be a law as their is no "right" provided to the officer that grants him that power freely.

You are correct. And considering when such an act is done they have inflicted on others rights (simply to live and of course to have secured property), they are prosecuted. However, since freedom of speech is granted in the 1st Ammendment "accidently" "saying" (if you will) something should by no definition be a crime.

Our system is designed to be corrected, not made worse. Your sarcasm here says nothing about the matter other than your maturity level. If you really believe when a system is wrong that is fine because hey were human let it be, please leave our country. There is no room here for the apathetic anymore, for we learned from past incidents that apathy itself can be a crime when powers commit evil (detention centers, genicide etc.)

You must be aware that such laws were put in place during the Clinton admin and 'maybe' with 'good' intentions. Then as Bush Jr. took office such laws became more enforced because of his actions and public hate. It

Wrong. Order has nothing to do with with it. And no right in unrestricted including free speech.
Collin Jasnoch wrote:

Your definition not mine. There are a multitude of laws now that didn't exist in the past. And I am certain that for every law there is at least one person that considers it "worse" with it.

Yes, because I recognize the system is not and never will be perfect.

Complete and utter nonsense. I suggest that you read some history. The 'rights' of US citizens to comment on material and the ways in which they can legally do so includes a vast number of options that did not exist in the past. That certainly includes just 50 years ago and probably includes even 30 years ago.
Collin Jasnoch wrote:

Sigh...wrong. There have ALWAYS been restrictions on free speech. There have ALWAYS been conflicts between different rights.
Collin Jasnoch wrote:
HOWEVER, when the areas are purely for political reasons and they charge an offender with a felony that is unconstitutional. The reason being is the people have been surpressed for the pure reason of speech.
Wrong. Same bad reasoning that many protesters use in federal court in probably the last 10 years or longer. The fact that you are "protesting" does NOT give you the right to break other laws. Period.
