Federal Court: Gov. Could Be Sued–SC Violated Constitution By Arresting Occupy Protesters At Statehousde ( pictures)

(Before It's News)

 A federal appeals court ruled on Monday that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) could be sued for violating the civil rights of Occupy Columbia protesters who were removed from the Statehouse grounds and arrested in 2011.

A month after the activists set up tents on the Statehouse grounds in October of 2011, Haley ordered the Bureau of Protective Services to arrest anyone who camped at the site past 6 p.m. in the evening. Officers eventually placed zip ties on the wrists of a number of protesters and took them to Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.

Trespassing charges against the protesters were dropped two weeks later.

In the Monday ruling, the court found that Haley had violated the civil rights of the protesters because there was no regulation in place preventing camping on the Statehouse grounds. Photo courtesy Occupy SC FB page                                                               MOREHERE
