   @mv everyone could potentially file in small claims court. A judicial denial of service of the government attorney sounds interesting, but seems like a waste of a lot of time. I'd also be concerned about rule 11 sections for filing out of spite...though rule 11 implies fed court

   @mv I do not know the details of section 1983. There may be some statutory damages but looking at it through general torts/contracts damages, I don't see a protestors getting much.

   @mv my assertion is not that cities and states do not violate the constitution but rather that the courts are available to anyone that has had their rights violated. Luckily there section 1983 that means that if you win the state pays the legal bill.

   @mv with respect to thw occupy camps, I think there is an argument that living is different than assembling, but aside from that I don't disagree.

   @mv I don't think you are raising a constitutional issue. I think you are raising an issue about how we quantify damages.

   @mv if you certify a class a lawyer gets a cut of a big check. If you do not certify a class then lawyer gets 1/3 of what, a dollar?

   @lnxwalt280 of course it depends on the particular judge, but there are some general standards

    @lnxwalt280 some stuff is laid out by statute and in those cases courts generally don't see themselves as meddling.

    @lnxwalt280 and they do. Look at US v Jones or the Guantanamo cases. Also, it depends, to an extent, whether what happened was "in the heat of battle" or if it's a decision made by managers

    @mv I'm not at all suggesting that there aren't real free speech issues but his state/federal distinction is just 100% wrong.

    @mv and strict scrutiny, while hard, is not impossible to pass. Japanese detention was held up under strict scrutiny. The courts don't like to meddle with the military or police.

    @mv now, if you can get the protesters certified as a class and can come up with significant enough money damages then there might be a case

    @mv the problem with a protest is each protest is different, so getting an injunction after the fact is pointless, if a court would even hear it (and I'd suggest they shouldn't )

    @mv how often do those get litigated? Protestors don't often have tons of money. Also, what are the damages to get a lawyer involved?
