Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet

How late into the night can protesters protest?

Honest question.

Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet

As in how late does the law allow?

Or how long can they physically hold up?

Honest question.

If they are protesting, as late as they want. Per the rules, I think midnight.

Saw a "peaceful" protester carrying a Yield sign down the street.

Not watching, but this makes me laugh. Wish I had seen it.

Protester holding a Do Not Enter sign. That's a federal offense, IIRC. Messing with a roadsign.

Depends but from what Ze Google tells me it's mostly just a misdemeanor. More severe charges could be pursued if say a stop sign is stolen that leads to a car accident and death.

In reality, unless charges are filed, the extent of expenses will be the cost of having a couple union laborers drive out and put up a new sign.

The law. At some point, do you become a noise nuisance? On a week night?

Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet

I think you're still subject to citation and arrest for late night disturbing the peace. Most towns have rules about this. Whether it's sundown or 9 pm or whatever.

The midnight restriction I think you're thinking of was the curfew. But that was lifted earlier today.

Disturbing the peace.

And now molotov cocktails. It's probably because the police presence. F*ing pigs.

Was the curfew reinstated?
When I was watching earlier I saw that there wasn't a curfew in place tonight.

I was thinking of the curfew, didn't know it was rescinded. Most places I've lived, the noise law has been 10pm.

Paraphrasing Rachel (who I actually like) - Don't want to say this glibly, but this is like reporting from a war zone.

As an example, here is my hometosn's laws on noise:

http://www.ci.oakdale.mn.us/vertical...09BD67F%7D.PDF

(a) General Prohibition. No person shall make or cause to be made any distinctly and loudly audible noise that unreasonably annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace, safety or welfare of any persons or precludes their enjoyment of property or affects their property value. This general prohibition is not limited by the specific restrictions of the following subdivisions.
(b) Noisy Assembly. A noisy assembly under this section means any gathering of more than one (1) person in a residentially zoned area or within, at or upon, the grounds of a private residence which unreasonably annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace, safety or welfare of any persons or precludes their enjoyment of property or affects their property value. Any such gathering between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in such a manner as to be plainly audible at the property line of a structure or building in which it is located or in the hallway or apartment adjacent shall be prima facie evidence that the noise is excessive. No person shall knowingly remain at a noisy assembly. No person shall permit

Someone on Twitter a few nights ago pointed out that both CNN and Al Jazeera sent their war correspondents to cover the story...

Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet

Oh isn't that funny. There are media members in the protests chanting with the protesters?

Yeah, then you are no longer a media member and you shall be treated as a protester.

Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet

These were the media members that were reported as having been arrested or detained tonight.
