Can rioters blocking traffic be charged with unlawful restraint?

[RandomPoster]

If the rioters block traffic and 20 cars are piled up, can each rioter be charged with 20 counts of unlawful restraint?

• Incarceration. For a misdemeanor conviction of unlawful restraint, a jail sentence of less than a year is possible, while felony convictions may impose potential prison terms of 15 years or more. In some situations, such as where the unlawful detention victim was a child, a sentence of life in prison is possible.
• Fines. Misdemeanor convictions of unlawful restraint typically involve fines of $1,000 or less, while felony fines can exceed $5,000 or more.
• Probation. Probation as a sentence for unlawful restraint is possible, but often only with misdemeanor charges where the convicted person has not committed previous crimes. However, even felony unlawful restraint charges may result in a probation sentence in some situations. Probation usually lasts at least 6 months, though one-year or longer probation sentences are common. Someone sentenced to probation must regularly meet with a probation officer and comply with specific orders imposed by the court, such as passing regular drug tests and not committing more crimes. If a person violates the terms of probation, a court may impose a jail or prison sentence, more fines, or renew the probation term for a longer period.

Certainly if they start beating on you or your vehicle...

This all needs to go back to the laws on public protests.. Need march/protest permits to let the city know where to ensure traffic control and public safety.. Completely LEGAL restraint on speech as already adjudicated in the courts..

Cities that pull the police back and DONT control traffic -- their leaders need to be CHARGED when folks get hurt or killed.. How many scenes of people driving innocently into protests do we have to see?

You can probably find a lot more relevant things to charge the protesters with. Unlawful restraint isn't applicable.

Don't count on it...They wont even arrest BLM for murder!

A guy shot 3 Trump supporters in portland...killed one of them.

Portland democrats wouldn't arrest him. Federal marshals had to go in and they snuffed the POS like a candle when he took a shot at them.

In Democrat ruled cities the incarcerated motorists would be charged with assault if they dared complain to the rioters. And, with wasting police time if they reported it.

If people are injured as a result of the unlawful blocking of traffic the individual can usually be charged. Try blocking traffic in your home town and see how far you get.
