My question involves police conduct in the State of: New York - New York city
In one video found on youtube, a small group of people (5??) are shown standing on the public sidewalk with the UN in the background.
A group of officers is poised and prepared to strike.
The supervisor, using a bullhorn, reads the demand that the group disperse or face arrest.
In the demand, the supervisor refers to a court order that bans protesters from the area.
Then directing them to an area where they may do so.
After a few warnings, the group stands firm and is arrested.
Under the charge of "disorderly conduct".
The supervisor refused to show the court order when asked.
So now I'm curious. Can a court judge create a law or ordinance without going through the process of having the order officially turned into one?
If challenged, would such an order hold up in the courts?
As I see it, it's a violation of "Freedom of speech" and the right of citizens to peacefully assemble.
