That's Powell. Heider was also arrested and prevented from petitioning for redress of grievances, going back to my point: > In a democracy, it's generally disruptive to prevent constituents from petitioning for redress of grievances. The real "disruption" here is the fact that the council and the mayor refuse to listen to their constituents, not that some of those constituents are angry about it. | ||

Right- if you read the context of our thread, I started talking about Powell. I think Heider has a much better case, were she to try to sue the city council (which I think is a waste of time if her goal is to prevent Flock cameras), but even then, the laws and cases around people who disrupt city councils are complex, and if the city lost... it would j ust end up costing tax payers more money. Are you sure the intent of the council was to specifically refuse to listen? | ||
