In this case, the law is that you can’t use public property for your personal gain when you have been ordered not to by a court. Exactly how is that a problem?
Motive, manner of execution, and the surrounding context of an oppressive, runaway government. THOSE, sir, are the PROBLEMS.
Yes they can, but it would take a lot of effort on their part. Don't give up in advance, just because they could shut you down.
Okay. You convinced me. I love your optimism. Thanks.
