The Rev. William Barber, the N.C. NAACP president, has been banned from entering the N.C. Legislative Building after his arrest during a protest there on May 30.
The ban also applies to 31 other protesters arrested that day during a health care sit-in after they refused to clear the hallways outside legislative leaders offices. The ban was a condition of the protesters release from jail, set by Wake County magistrate Jeffrey L. Godwin as he charged them with second-degree trespassing.
General Assembly Police Chief Martin Brock said Friday that his agency didnt ask the magistrate to set those conditions, but he said he plans to make the request for future arrests of protesters.
I intend to instruct the officer to ask, especially if the person has been arrested before, Brock said.
Asked why the bans are needed, Brock said, If someone has been arrested two or three times, would it be reasonable to expect that they would be arrested again? That would be my observation.
