Protect Freedom of Speech in Arizona

SB 1142 will allow the state to arrest and prosecute anyone involved in a protest that has any vandalism, whether that person was involved, whether the offender was part of the protest, an onlooker, or part of the opposition. Clearly it a response to the false notion that protesters are paid troublemakers, not responsible citizens. AB 1142 is not about preventing vandalism; it's about preventing protests.
