I haven't looked into the specific charge, but I'm sure it's on the books somewhere. The Kerry people put the police in a bad spot. They had to respond to the call and had to take some kind of action.

The cops finally settled on a charge of “occupying a public space without a permit” due to the protesters’ two card tables. Despite the protesters’ request, cops refused to issue a $50 ticket.

OK, Kris, help me with this one: You all wanted a citation, but they wouldn't issue one. What actually would have resulted in a ticket?
