My idea for an anti-recruitment campaign- a silent "Drive-in Protest"

[Ian David]

Close to my home, there is an Army recruiting office in an outdoor strip mall.

They could probably chase us away for trespassing or loitering on their property.

But what I don't think they can do is tow our cars away if they're legally parked.

So, my idea is to put big protest signs in the windows of our car while we sit next door and eat pizza and keep an eye on our cars.

1. Kind of like

a silent cross-the-picket-line thing? Good idea..we need more of these!

2. No, we wouldn't obstruct or block anything. We'd be parked legally.

The whole idea is:

1) We wouldn't be loitering.
2) We wouldn't be picketing.
3) We wouldn't be soliciting.
4) We wouldn't be parked illegally.
5) All we'd do is legally park our cars with our signs showing from the windows where they would be conspicuous.

The only thing they could do would be to ticket you if you have mechanical violations, or tow you if your registration is expired.

But then, we could probably sue for selective prosecution under "fair practices."

But I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
