I'm all for keeping emergency lanes clear for the sake of public safety, but this move to hike up fines feels like it's veering into territory that could discourage people from exercising their right to protest. It's like, yeah, we need to ensure that ambulances and fire trucks can get through, no question there. But doubling fines seems like it might not just deter the disruptive protests but could intimidate those looking to peacefully make their voices heard. We've got to find a way to balance the need for public safety with protecting our fundamental right to protest, and I'm not convinced this bill strikes that balance.
