That`s not going to buff out for those officers. Hopefully, the "defendants" are of a protected class and the officers find what it`s like to be the subjects of a federal civil rights investigation by the Holder justice dept.
ETA: They appear to be white males, so their right don`t count.

Coronado and Flores were also arrested by another CHP officer who had come to the DMV and were also cited for "impeding an open business.” If they're referring to the DMV, I hope they arrested and charged all of the people behind the counters as well. |

They impeded nothing, and moreso, while the article doesn't mention this, the 'rest of the story' is that they overheard the arresting officer radio in to ask someone to help him figure out what he could charge them with. I heard about this the other day, and wondered who would start the thread here.

The legal group has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the men — who were subsequently released after their arrests — for violation of their right to free speech and for unlawful arrest. ..like the Constitution.

No, they were arrested for reading the Bible, and it was a case of, "Well, you're under arrest now, and we'll find something to charge you with later."

So, the guy was standing in a planter in a DMV parking lot reading the bible out loud, and was arrested.
The DMV parking lot is not a public place. It is a parking lot for people at the DMV for DMV business (such as it is). Like it or not, the DMV parking lot is not the town square. If every numbfuck who wanted to protest something, preach something, or whatever, could use every government parking lot, it would impede public services (once again, such as they are). Just because property is owned by the government does not mean that every numbfuck in the USA can use it as a soapbox. If the .gov had content neutral rules (e.g. no public speaking) for these semi-public areas (like .gov parking lots) and enforced it in a content-neutral way, I don't have a problem. Perhaps the whole thing could have been handled better (like asking them to leave and then arresting them for trespassing). Shrug. |

gotta say, maybe preaching without a license on public property MAYBE is a legal charge, but sounds like the cops were annoyed easily and will get their peepee's slapped as a result.
in a related note friend of mine who is a teacher was telling me about a book he read, time traveler goes the year 4000ish socity is very mellow, flying cars, no crime ect ect, and there are only 2 laws, both have the death penalty. 1. dont annoy people. 2. done be easily annoyed. |

Of course they should not have been arrested, but I have to ask, why did they have to go to a DMV to read the bible? I could understand going to a state capital or in front of capital hill in DC to prove a point, but why the DMV?
