    Blocking traffic, as much as it is a pita to drivers, is not rioting. It’s a peaceful protest and well within 1A.

          Traffic tickets blur the line between the civil/criminal courts. Especially in my state, where both speeding and the lowest level of assault will put you before the same judge. Since the lowest criminal charges don’t carry potential for jail time, even in the effect they have it’s difficult to tease out their differences.
