With the recent wave of protests across the country, Republican
legislators in at least 10 states have pushed forward legislation that
could increase the costs of speaking out. In North Dakota, lawmakers
have proposed a law that would indemnify drivers who hit protesters on

some forms of civil disobedience to a felony.

Bob speaks with Lee Rowland from the American Civil Liberties Union’s
Speech, Privacy and Technology Project to find out whether any of this
new legislation might come to pass – and what the implications might be
if it does.
