What are the consequences if a defendant is found guilty of a charge of permissibly refusing to comply with police orders to disperse?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Tardif, 58 Misc.3d 31, 66 N.Y.S.3d 761 (N.Y. App. Term 2017):
(PL 240.20 [6] ) violated their constitutional rights under the First Amendment, and defendants permissibly refused to comply with police orders to disperse]; see also Wright v. Georgia, 373 U.S. 284, 292, 83 S.Ct. 1240, 10 L.Ed.2d 349 [1963] ). Ultimately, the charges upon which defendant was convicted infringe upon her fundamental First Amendment rights, and the complaints at issue must therefore be dismissed.
