New Ordinance in Denver ...Anticipating trouble at DNC... does this go too far? ================ "Sec. 38-125. OBSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT PROHIBITED 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, other than governmental employees in the performance of their duty, to possess any tool, object, instrument or other article adapted, designed or intended to be used for obstructing the public’s ability to freely move about on roadways, sidewalks or any other area to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access or for inhibiting emergency equipment from being moved without impediment or delay, with the intent to use the object by itself or in combination with other objects for obstructing the public’s ability to freely move about on roadways, sidewalks or into or out of buildings or for inhibiting emergency equipment from being moved without impediment or delay. This shall include but is not limited to any sections of pipe or containers filled with or wrapped in weighted material such as concrete and/or containing handcuffs, chains, carabiners, padlocks or other locking devices. 2. It shall be unlawful for any person to possess any noxious substance or dangerous or deadly weapon as defined in DRMC Section 38-117 with the intent to use the noxious substance or dangerous or deadly weapon for defeating crowd dispersal measures." If passed, the ordinance would become city law: meaning it would be enforced well beyond the Democratic National Convention. Proponents of the ordinances have cited stories of protestors using human waste to deter police.
