Which part of the bill of rights was I violating? I never said they couldn’t protest...never told them they had to leave...never told them they could t hold their signs. However, the bill of rights doesn’t cover clamping signs to city property. As far as the interstate, the state police regulate that. What should I do, go stop everyone on the I terstate to tell them not to look up at the signs? I’m sure that would be violating the drivers rights somewhere as well.

“never told them they could t hold their signs.” - B8

My mistake. I thought you referenced that you asked them to leave/stop their protest because they were disrupting traffic.

My apologies.

I was one of the protestors and I live in the Town of Campbell.

When we first started exercising our 1st Amendment rights, our Tea Party group had a press release and got the ok that we would not be hassled by the police, but the Town of Campbell told bold face lies.

They hated the message of “Impeach Obama” and called 911 even before we went on the overpass. Chadwick Hawkins, the town clerk of Campbell said we were “Rioters and protestors forming at the base of the bridge” and he wanted us removed.

It’s very obvious to me that if there were more police like you the ‘us cops vs them guilty citizens’ would never have gotten a foothold, let alone be such a high profile view.

To be fair our county police and state troopers were professional and polite (state police honked in support!) The Town of Campbell police on the other hand were looking for revenue from their shiny new ordinance.

Here is my friend Kevin being ticketed for simply holding a wooden cross!
