The app for independent voices

Depending on your recourse to money and attorneys, perhaps a better answer would be something like: "If I am breaking a law, then summon police and have me arrested. If I am not breaking a law, then you are violating my civil rights, and exposing yourself to legal action." That should shut them up. If you do, in fact, end up getting arrested or cited, you now have "standing" for a lawsuit against the government. What your chances are, I don't know. If you've got the balls, stand up to the dictators once in a while. Many such acts of civil disobedience don't (yet) run the risk of tear gas, rubber bullets or worse. When your court date comes up, insist on a trial by jury perhaps. I only speak for myself, but I would be proud to have been tried and maybe convicted for the "crime" of refusing to wear a piece of cloth, or not having taken a dubious medical treatment.
