Shana posted an update in the group Legal UPDATE FROM LEGAL: 18 were arrested. Various charges - being in park after 11 (one that we know of), disorderly conduct (three), obstructing traffic (most of them), obstructing a police officer (three perhaps).The attorneys are here. Judge will see occupy folks after regular court, so 10 or so. But then attorneys need to meet with occupiers, so don\'t expect court to start until 11 or 12. So, Come out and show some support!- posted VIA my Android phone.

nadia posted an update in the group Legal @reflex, here is the code relevant to parks: http://www.atlantaga.gov/government/parks/burparksrules.aspx In general, we are not breaking any codes if we are not there after 11pm, do not drive stakes into the ground or have large tents, if we don\'t have glass bottles, etc..... but there are also some broad provisions about \"obeying the lawful command of police officers\" and not willfully or recklessly damaging city property. I\'m not a lawyer at all but worth it to take a look and imagine how broadly it could be applied. Re: private property - there are places that seem public, such as malls, the sidewalk near underground Atlanta, etc... that are private property. I\'d imagine that if one wanted to be sure about not getting arrested, one would have to trust police\'s word about what is / isn\'t private property. But again, not a lawyer :-)
