don't believe she can legally

Apparently "rule of law" is irrelevant if you wish to do otherwise.

Pardon me while I run out to the store and "protest" some 12-packs into my car.

Police told her they would tow her car with her in it, but Barnett said she does not believe they can legally do so.

But they can yank her out and arrest her for refusing a valid police order, then tow the vehicle...

Now I'm wondering if an emergency proclamation was the end-game all along.

Anyone else notice that the protestors were arrested by DOCARE, because HPD doesn't have clear jurisdiction? An emergency takes care of little details like that...

Hopefully the protestors will heed the Emergency Proclamation, otherwise rumor ihas it they’ll be put on Double Secret Probation:
