#2 I would prefer to administer a symbolic foot in their ass.

It would only go halfway and wouldn't cause their teeth to crack with a non-symbolic foot in ass.

#3 Will the symbolic arrest appear on any permanent records? Seems an ideal way to prove your anarchist-crazy in order to pick up radical chicks.

#4 It's the double standard that irritates me.
On its face this is laudable in the age of made-for-TV Non-violent Protest Theater -- it streamlines the procedure. *But* in liberal bastions like Berkeley any group to the right of the Khmer Rouge will have their protest preemptively banned for 'the public good' if they used this hot-line.

#6 The police offering this suggests they need to be defunded by the Feds.

#7 'da Wife and me are planning a Route 66 sojourn in the next couple of years.

Think we'll pick up Rt 93 North at Kingman.
