She was conducting business with this establishment which gives her the legal right to be there until they advise her she is trespassing and request she leave. Are you a lawyer and a game warden?
The key part of the ordinance “so as to endanger the safe movement of pedestrians or vehicles thereon”
She was not endangering pedestrians or vehicles so that code does not apply. Nor was she blocking the entrance to prevent free access.
Good Lord. Please tell me you are not a lawyer.

The endangerment would occur as soon as one of the two dozen or more people decided to force their way out of the line, or worse yet, confront the old lady in their own way for not getting out of the way of humanity. It was the cops job to enforce the law; he could see a situation that would endanger someone as soon as people tried to bust out of the line or force her to move. He did his JOB!
The ordinance says nothing about 'endanger . . vehicles', it says not to 'endanger the safe MOVEMENT of . . vehicles.' Clearly she endangered the MOVEMENT of the vehicles behind her.
