bA new bill has just passed the NC House that would allow North Carolina drivers to legally hit protesters who are blocking the road without being sued, as long as they “exercise due care.” North Carolina House Bill 330 was passed by a 67-48 vote.

It was introduced by Republican Justin Burr and “provides that a person driving an automobile while exercising due care is immune for civil liability for any injury to another if the injured person was participating in a demonstration or protest and blocking traffic.”

Is this one of things where other states have reciprocity? Like I can hit a protester here and claim the NC law?

Protesting in NC just became an extreme sport.

It looks like reversing back over them maybe frowned upon.

Ok but immunity from criminal liability is more important. Wouldn't need laws like this if law enforcement would simply do their job and clear the roads.

I don't think these legislators know that due care does not mean what they imagine it means.
