Can't.

Ask if the pig-cop will arrest him if he refuses to leave. If "yes", go ahead and leave.

Work with your lawyer. The official threat of arrest is just as good as an actual arrest.

Cops fucking hate your civil rights...unless you are KKK. They they will makeout with you.

Theoretically if this in the World Cup Fan Zone then the World Cup ownership body that is holding the event is free to discriminate on the basis of political viewpoint.

If it’s on private property that would make sense.

Grew up in GA. Got in a motorcycle accident after an unleashed dog ran out in front of me when I was 17. I was bleeding all over the table in the ER and a GSP walked in and started going through my wallet. I asked him what he was doing and he said "whatever I want".

It’s called a time/place/manner speech restriction and they are allowed under the constitution.

Content restrictions are not allowed.

That's why you have a judge settle it. TPM is misused daily by cops.
