For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
From the article:
They also were apparently reading some city anti camping ordinance to the protestors.
Why does the lawyer not know what the charges are? How were they arrested without being charged?
Because when it comes to dealing with those opposing the US MIC, we're already a fascist country. You have the freedom to do many things but this is not one of them. MLK killed after speaking out on Vietnam, Kennedy killed for much the same reasons; Vietnam and mulling changes at the CIA, Boeing whistleblower mysteriously 'comitting suicide' your freedom only extends to things that do not oppose the military.
MLK wasn't killed because he spoke out against Vietnam.
He was killed because he was abandoning a racial paradigm in favor of a class one. He was building a rainbow coalition.
Same with Malcolm X, and Fred Hampton. As soon as any of these men started talking about class unity, the people in charge immediately acted to get rid of them. Really shows how scary class consciousness is to the ruling class.
I get that, but I don't know why this is even going before a judge if they were arrested without charge. I didn't think that was legal.
This source suggests something about a judge not being present for an arraignment, and so they were released with instructions to present again in May. Sounds like they probably haven't been formally charged with anything. You can be arrested without being charged, usually charges come shortly after an arrest. But they can't hold you indefinitely with no charge, which is why they were just released with instructions to return on a certain date.

Okay, I didn't realize that. I thought they had to charge you with something if they arrested you. Thanks.
You can be arrested just because the cop felt like it. They typically have some time span in which to charge you or they have to let you go.
Cops aren't the ones charging you, that's the DA.
Right, I was wondering if any more clarified information had come out.
Another commenter let me know that Boston basically made suburban camping illegal last year in Boston.
