DoomsdaysCW<p>State by State Pending and Recently Passed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtestLaws</span></a>: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Iowa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iowa</span></a> </p><p>SF 342: Heightened penalties for protesters convicted of "riot," "unlawful assembly," or blocking traffic, and immunity for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/drivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drivers</span></a> who injure them</p><p>Introduces felony penalties for the offense of "riot," previously an aggravated misdemeanor, such that the offense is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $7,500. Preexisting law defines "riot" as a group of three or more people assembled "in a violent manner," at least one of whom uses any unlawful force or violence against another person or causes property damage. The law also converts "unlawful assembly" from a simple to an aggravated misdemeanor. Preexisting law defines "unlawful assembly" as a group of three or more people, any of whom are acting "in a violent manner," and who intend that any of them will commit an offense. Under the law, it is a serious (rather than simple) misdemeanor, punishable by one year in jail and a $1,875 fine, to "obstruct" a sidewalk, street, or "other public way" with the intent to hinder its use by others. If an individual obstructs a sidewalk or street while "present during an unlawful assembly," it is an aggravated misdemeanor, punishable by 2 years in jail and a $6,250 fine. If an individual obstructs a sidewalk or street while "present during a riot," it is a Class D felony, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $7,500 fine. Under the law, a driver who injures someone who is participating in a "protest, demonstration, riot, or unlawful assembly," engaging in "disorderly conduct," and blocking traffic, is immune from civil liability as long as the driver was exercising "due care" and the protester did not have a permit to be in the street. The law would also allow law enforcement who experience a physical or other injury while on duty to pursue civil damages from a person, group, or organization. Finally, the law creates a new felony offense for "defacing" public property, "including a monument or statue." The offense, a Class D felony, is punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $7,500, and mandatory restitution for any property damage. This law was introduced and passed by the Senate as SF 534, but passed by the House as an amendment to SF 342.</p><p>Full text of bill: <br><a href="https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=89&ba=SF%20342" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">legis.iowa.gov/legislation/Bil</span><span class="invisible">lBook?ga=89&ba=SF%20342</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 1 Mar 2021; Approved by Senate 10 March 2021, Approved by House 14 April 2021, Signed by Governor 16 June 2021</p><p>Issue(s): Civil Liability, Protest Supporters or Funders, Driver Immunity, Riot, Traffic Interference</p><p>HF 952: Requiring state permission for protests in the capitol and on capitol grounds</p><p>Would require organizers to have a government sponsor in order to hold protests in or near the Iowa capitol. Under the bill, organizers cannot hold “events” in capitol buildings or on capitol grounds unless they have a “recommendation” either from a statewide elected official or by both a member of Iowa’s state senate and its house of representatives. The bill would also prohibit the same person from holding more than six “events” per year in or around the capitol. Neither the bill nor the relevant provisions of Iowa law define “events,” such that they could seemingly include public protests and demonstrations. As such, the bill would effectively give elected officials authority to allow or disallow protests near the capitol.</p><p>Full text of bill: <br><a href="https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=91&ba=HF%20952" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">legis.iowa.gov/legislation/Bil</span><span class="invisible">lBook?ga=91&ba=HF%20952</span></a><br>Status: pending</p><p>Introduced 12 Mar 2025.</p><p>HF 25: Heightened penalties for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskedProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaskedProtesters</span></a></p><p>Would increase the penalty for any offense if committed by someone wearing a mask or other device that concealed their identity for the purpose of facilitating the offense. The bill provides <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/exemptions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exemptions</span></a> for masks worn in a number of contexts, including holiday costumes, medical masks, and “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hood</span></a>[s]” or other “disguise[s]” worn by members of “a society, order, or organization while engaged in any parade, ritual” or “ceremony.” As such, for instance, members of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KluKluxKlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KluKluxKlan</span></a> would seemingly be exempt from enhanced penalties for illegally blocking traffic while parading in the street wearing hoods. The bill does not exempt masks worn during public protests, nor does it limit the enhanced penalties to violent crimes. Accordingly, a peaceful protester who committed a nonviolent offense while wearing a mask could face steeper penalties. A masked demonstrator engaged in a vigil who failed to disperse after being ordered to do so by police, for instance, could face up to a year in jail, rather than 30 days.<br> <br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ga=91&ba=hf25" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">legis.iowa.gov/legislation/Bil</span><span class="invisible">lBook?ga=91&ba=hf25</span></a></p><p>Status: pending</p><p>Introduced 14 Jan 2025.</p><p>Issue(s): <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FaceCovering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FaceCovering</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clampdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Clampdown</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingProtest</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtestLaws</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrafficInterference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrafficInterference</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskBans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaskBans</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HoodsAreOK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoodsAreOK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeatherHeyer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeatherHeyer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniteTheRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniteTheRight</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DrivingDownProtestors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DrivingDownProtestors</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LimitingProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LimitingProtests</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RedTape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedTape</span></a></p>

The primary function of bureaucracy is to keep records. Bureaucracy started back in Sumer, when the number of agricultural products and names against them exceeded this one person can keep in their heads. They used clay tablets.<br>But it still holds true if you use a database.</p><p>2. You need a cadre of personnel who KNOW how to use the clay tablets.<br>Sure they can't sheer a sheep or dig an irrigation channel or carry a spear.<br>Those folks are really handy to have around and you can recruit some of your supervisors from that pool because they have the right mindset.</p><p>3. The least appreciated part of the reason for Bureaucracy is...to act as a handbrake. You do NOT want the arsehole at the top, who has no idea how to make shit happen have his every whim executed instantly. The bigger the change, the longer it should take.<br>Or shit will break.</p><p>As to the expedition of the drones, you need the form AH-2245/d.</p><p>If there is not one, you need to create one. That's how things work.<br>If there is no form like that, some arsehole who does not appreciate how bureaucracy works tried to balls-to-the-wall that process.</p><p>We have a system and it works.</p>
