I have watched this and am still puzzled as to what law was broken? &#8220;Public safety&#8221; is the reason to violate these protestors First Amendment rights according to the officers. Question: isn&#8217;t the very presence of a police vehicle parked on the side of a busy road\/ highway with lights on causing traffic jams creating &#8220;public safety&#8221; risk?! I have lost count at the number of times I&#8217;ve been on a road that is brought to a stand still just because there is a cop sitting on the side. As a matter of fact I once sat in a 30 minute jam up because one was parked in a median, lights off, facing the same direction of traffic (not angled for speed traps) while the officer was doing paperwork!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen an alarming number of videos where police will invoke &#8220;public safety&#8221;, &#8220;interfering with an investigation&#8221; or in this case &#8220;failure to comply&#8221; etc to justify arresting people within their right to film and protest. What we have here is an example of a First Amendment civil rights violation by those who swore to protect and defend those very civil rights. It&#8217;s become abundantly clear to me that there are many within law enforcement who will be automatons following orders violating their oath of service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have mixed feelings about the overpasses protest but that is for another day.
