[ktlight]

"Fresno County Sheriffs Lt. Andriatti and Officer Neil Dadian talking about how local penal code trumps the constitution during OccupyFresno Arrests.

Occupy Fresno: OK, may I ask a question? May I ask a question?

Fresno Sheriffs: (Other Sheriff makes comment "As long as it's not... ???")

Occupy Fresno: Does the penal code here and ordinances that you've said that we're violating, trump the constitutional first amendment to peaceably assemble and protest the government?

Fresno Sheriffs: In this instance here, that is what we are enforcing. That penal code...

Occupy Fresno: Can you explain that?

Fresno Sheriffs: No, we're not going to."

Don't complain too much, civil rights violation suits can have multiple layered effects, not only can they set you up for life, they can deter the offender from messing with you ever again.
