"No person shall willfully fail or refuse to comply with any lawful order or direction of any police officer or fireman invested by law with authority to direct, control or regulate traffic"
That doesn't apply to situations where "traffic" is not involved, like people outside of their cars in a football stadium. It also has the limitation "lawful order or direction."
Too many police are trained to believe that whatever they say is a "lawful order or direction" but that isn't correct.
Yep.
Police probably had no standing to do anything since no law was being broken.
If civilian authorities “trespassed” the bandleader, then they would have authority to remove the bandleader. Assuming the civilian administrator had the power to trespass someone.
These are the type of cops that would arrest children for not wearing masks.
“Too many police are trained to believe that whatever they say is a “lawful order or direction” but that isn’t correct. “
Exactly right. And making up their own laws as they go rather than acting on how a law is actually and legally codified.
Like arresting folks for drunk driving when they are riding a horse or driving a wagon. The law specifically states “While operating a MOTORIZED vehicle.”
Do they actually not understand the definition included in the statute that states exactly what constitutes a legal motorized vehicle? Or do they think they can create legislation and change legal definitions on the fly as needed because they are above the law as legislated and codified?.
