Watch the clip. Police comes right up to her and arrests her on camera.

    Should make the defence easy though.

    Hopefully she can counter sue for first amendment violations.

      If you read the article, the violation occurred earlier. They just identified her and arrested her then.

      It’s all bullshit obviously, but I doubt the case will be cut and dry if they decide to pursue.

        They probably have video footage or her uncovered face in the roadway after being instructed to move. Or she may have been doing something to stand out, from others, like yelling, getting close to officers, or organizing.

        Even when protesting against a better government, remember to cover your face, especially if you plan to defy officer orders or do something more… extreme.

          I got the impression she was a leader. It they will arrest you for being in the road, mask up!
