[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was arrested by MPD.  Did the officer ask him to back up?  Did he ask him to move away from them?  
It is hard to hear what was said by the MPD officer.  If he did tell him to move away, and he refused, then an arrest is appropriate.  [/quote]

*If* the officer asked him to move away, did he have a reason?  Finding the public annoying is not a good enough reason.[/quote]

I guess the judge will decide that. 
If an officer of the law gives you an order to move you better damn well follow it.  [/quote]

lol, no.  If they are giving you illegal orders force them to arrest you and then go to court.  You don’t let bad cops dictate the law.[/quote]

The cops are definitely stepping out of bounds.

In Washington Crackdown, Making a Federal Case Out of Low-Level Arrests
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/us/politics/trump-dc-crime-takeover-federal-court.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gk8.9QNX.GAmvkQuKRR6F&smid=url-share

The stream of defendants who shuffled through a federal courtroom on Thursday afternoon illustrated the new ways in which laws are being enforced in the nation’s capital after the president’s takeover of the city’s police. They were appearing before a magistrate judge on charges that would typically be handled at the local court level, if they were filed at all.

"One man had been arrested over an open container of alcohol. Another had been charged with threatening the president after delivering a drunken outburst following his arrest on vandalism. And one defendant’s gun case so alarmed prosecutors that they intend to drop the case."
