Libertarian Candidate Arrested While Petitioning

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It is bad enough that the powers that be make it difficult for parties other than Republicans and Democrats to get on the ballot, but it is outrageous when they illegally interfere with candidates working to get on the ballot. In Minnesota major party candidates just have to fill out a form and pay a minor fee to get on the ballot. For everyone else it requires getting thousands of signatures in two weeks.

Libertarian Party of Minnesota candidate for governor Chris Holbrook was manhandled and arrested while petitioning:


The Minneapolis Park Police later dropped the charge and issued this apology:

This afternoon, the Minneapolis Park Police issued a citation to Christopher Holbrook, Libertarian candidate for governor, for violation of Park Board Ordinance PB2-15: Use of Parks, Parkways and Waters for Financial Gain. The incident and citation were reviewed this evening by Park Police Chief Jason Ohotto who determined that the officer erred and misapplied the ordinance. Park Police Chief Ohotto has dismissed the citation. Chief Ohotto directly contacted Mr. Holbrook this evening and apologized on behalf of the Minneapolis Park Police Department for the error in issuing the citation.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and the Park Police Department understands and upholds First Amendment and freedom of speech in the parks.


However, scare petitioning time was lost and cannot be made up. it is inexcusable that the police have such a poor understanding of the law, but are so enthusiastic to enforce what they do not understand.
