894 people signed this petition, and i was standing in front of a store on the side walk
with the petition when the manager came out and told me they don't do goverment stuff. I needed to leave. I remarked that this is public side walk and will not go in the store.
He said they owned the sidewalk and the parking lot. And if I didn't leave he would
call the police. He did they came and told me
that it was private property and I will walk
you to your car. I said no and then I was
arrested put in the car and taken to the police station. The police office said tresspassing and when I recieve ticket it was
Disorderly conduct. I did nothing but say no.
I am in Wisconsin...I checked out that store
and if they own the store or the sidewalk or
the parking lot. And they don't...It is leased and yet mine name is in the paper for
Disorderly Conduct. What should I do. I am
no guilty. Thanks

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

You should consult with an Attorney who is very familiar with U.S. Supreme Court cases and Constitutional Law. You were practicing a right of Political Free Speech, and I believe, should not have been arrested.

However, there are exceptions to every rule. So, you really need to consult the proper Attorney to see whether you have a cause of action against the store, and the police department.

And, like everything else when we wish to exercise our rights under the Constitution, or to right a wrong, it's going to cost you big bucks to do this, because it is rare for a Constitutional Attorney to accept Pro Bono work, or to work on a Contingency basis.

Good luck.

family harrasement and embarssment to say the
