Tampa city ordinance declaring the Constitution void.

[jbauer]

Fine by me just don't wear a Ron Paul shirt.

I say walk tall and carry a huge stick! just a thought, what happens when 100,000 people have a big stick what will they do? and I am in no way saying we should use these sticks I just dont think they will arrest that many people for that reason.

The lady I spoke to asked if I had ever heard of 9/11 and all these measures are completely justified and necessary, in order to keep us safe.

One more person who would benefit greatly from educating themselves about the events of 9/11.

Delegates, family of delegates and visitors to Tampa are encouraged to very carefully read the new ordinance in order to protect yourselves from revenue-generating police. During the convention, it is a crime to possess tape, light bulbs, any container containing any liquid, solid or gas, a piece of wood, a jack handle in your trunk, any sharp object and many other items considered otherwise normal. Also, should your group assemble into a unit larger than 50 people and you do not have the required permit, you are committing a crime. The police can determine on the spot if you are guilty and the prosecuter will sort out your intent at a later date. The penalties for violating any of the items under this ordinance are punishable with a fine of $500 and/or 60 days in jail. My guess is the City of Tampa wants your $500 more than they want to put you in jail.

"Jack handle in you trunk"....wtf! People get flat tires and used a jack to change the tires. This garbage really does remind me of the brown shirts and the nazi party.

 

[puppetmaster]

since when can an ordinance trump the constitution?

I would say the lawmakers are subject to treason by passing this

If police starts arresting RP supporters for no reason... might I suggest some civil disobedience? What they gonna do? Arrested a few tens of thousands of people? Let the world see the police state and its brutality when we get our heads bashed in and bones broken.

Doesn't say anything about having a hootenanny!

Choose your acceptable Tampa piece of wood.

But seriously:
I'm not going to Tampa, but if I was, I would be sure to understand all of Section 5.A and 5.B, especially the Exceptions.

They'll probably be using the old "rule of thumb" law before deciding whether it's civil to beat us with them:

There doesn't seem to be anything barring carrying a handgun.
Here's info on Florida's concealed carry permit reciprocity.
