Charges of criminal trespass have been dropped against Rochester, N.Y., radio talker Shannon Joy, who found herself in handcuffs after she attended her local school board meeting in August. Joy and a group of other concerned parents attended the Fairport Central School District meeting on behalf of their children. During the meeting, the school board sent security to harass Joy and others whose masks slipped beneath their noses.

It should be noted that in Monroe County and surrounding counties, no one is required to wear a mask anywhere except in public schools, government buildings, and some doctors’ offices. There is no government mandate anymore. Stores, restaurants, and malls are completely mask-free. The arbitrary nature of “wear a mask on school property” when it isn’t required anywhere else makes little sense, other than to be used as a weapon of power over citizens.
...
Joy promised that no matter what happened in the courtroom, she would continue the fight for parents to be heard in schools across the country.
...
There’s a constitutional issue here. She’s a broadcaster. She’s critical of the government. She dares to speak out. We’re here to make sure she continues to do that.”

Joy isn’t the only activist who has been arrested in Monroe County for similarly questionable reasons. Rochester attorney Chad Hummel was arrested for not wearing a mask outside at his child’s soccer game, 150 feet away from everyone except his immediate family. Three of the four charges against him have been dropped, but the criminal trespass charge is still being litigated. Hummel is also representing another mother who has been outspoken at school board meetings in a nearby county.

I don’t get the “criminal tresspass” charge.
I mean other than the fact that all of the charges are completely absurd.
Generally if one who owns or controls property orders you to leave (and you don’t have a right to be there) and you refuse then you can be charged with criminal trespass. I would imagine the cops took the position that the board ordered her to leave and she refused.
Charge them with malicious prosecution.
No surprise there. You are prosecuted for your views in this country. You are given a free pass for some views, arrested for others.
Good story at link and I hope they sue the hell out of the oppressive regimes.
Great to see this happening in Monroe County.
She was arrested for wearing a mask improperly. By a barefaced police officer ( no mask ) and another with the mask under her chin.
Its because you can’t arrest one for not wearing a mask.
Its not a law so you can’t arrest someone.
You can ask them to leave but that is about it.
I just paid my school taxes at the town hall. Big sign in the lobby informs everyone they must wear a mask regardless of their “vaccination status.”
So I go to the office where you pay, and not a single one of the three employees in there are wearing a mask.

Thanks. I should have realized that.
Her lawyer is a friend of mine.
This was a BS case she never should have been arrested.
