The optics are certainly bad however at that point the man was trespassing trying to assert a right he didn’t have.
What’s the difference between this and say protesters shackling themselves and blocking a freeway?
How was the man trespassing??? He PAID for a ticket!! Therefore he had a RIGHT to be there.
By your logic I can pay for a car then have the dealership refuse to give me the car I PAID FOR and then have me arrested for being on the lot asserting MY RIGHT to a product I PAID FOR.
