Hope SCOTUS takes this case. This can be a foot in the door to stop the GVT from using excessive force during a political arrest.

One would hope that a win would serve as a deterrent to government. But I still feel that THIS government we have now would blatantly violate it whenever it wanted to badly enough - especially when it is for leftist political motives. They’ve already done it in several instances.

Anthony Novak, an amateur comic from Parma, a Cleveland suburb, was arrested and briefly jailed after creating a fake social media page in 2016 styled after the Parma Police Department’s Facebook page. His lawyers argue it was an obvious parody, and he was acquitted at trial.

Moon over Parma, where those pink flamingos stand
I need her kisses and the soft touch of her hand
We're goin' bowlin'
So don't lose her in Solon
Moon over Parma, tonight

“There’s no recognized right to be free from a retaliatory arrest that is supported by probable cause,” the appellate judges ruled.

Essentially, the police can charge anyone with a crime for exercising First Amendment rights by claiming some criminal intent, BUT after that case is dismissed, the person who had his/her rights violated can't simply allege the police acted with nefarious intent when claiming "probable cause". In practice "probable cause" has become "possible cause", and the two are not the same. The actual standard is usually only "plausible deniability" to arrest someone the police simply don't like, for whatever reason.
