Is there any legal authority to drive through a crowd blocking a surface road or highway. Granted I've never faced the situation but I feel id be ok with at least idle through the crowd. Thanks in advance

Update..

This guy did it.

This was written in comments:

quote:

Check the law, restricting the movement of individuals is a crime. The Supreme Court recognized freedom of movement as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them." This authority was given to the states, a position the Court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883). So by blocking the movement of traffic, all individuals blocking traffic are subjected to prosecution under state laws.


I guess we'll see

I would honk my horn and idle like you say. If those bastards are stupid enough to get run over then I feel my life was probably in danger.

Your pussy arse would stop and the animals would break your window and beat the shite out of you. We would all watch it on national TV and laugh at you.

Can't use deadly force unless your life is threatened.

Obama will only allow you to drive through white protestors.

What about those cops that step out into the road to flag you over for speeding? Bc I saw a BRPD cop about get leveled today trying to pull two cars over on Stanford.

Seems like murder isn't allowed, as far as I know.

Load your washer fluid reservoir with urine and turn the nozzels toward the crowd. Spray them up.

Where is Bull Connor and some fire trucks when you need them?

I saw a fool at a gay pride parade in Istanbul stand in front of a pressure nozzle equipped riot control truck and just ask for it. He got it, went flying back like a bungee jumper.

Perfectly legal, same rules apply if you run across a roped off marathon. They aren't supposed to be in the road so crush them, don't be a pussy

You can't legally drive over people, even if they're being annoying assholes

Ease up there in a dump truck with a load of used cat litter, then spread it as you go opening a lane of traffic.

I don't like storing urine but I do like spraying them.
