A federal appeals court has blocked an Indiana law that allowed police to arrest individuals who came within 25 feet of them after being told to stop.
Media organizations sued the state, arguing that the law is unconstitutional as it gives officers too much discretion to enforce it arbitrarily. The law classifies the offense as a Class C misdemeanor, carrying a potential prison term of up to 60 days.
The court ruled that the law is likely unconstitutional because it could lead to arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement, temporarily halting its enforcement.

So, if you are told to stay away and you continue to advance you should be considered a threat and shot. Time well past to stop the criminals and agitators from getting their way and make the consequences count.
