Judge: Occupy D.C. must get notice before eviction

[maddezmom]

WASHINGTON (AP) – A judge in Washington said the federal government must notify one of the last major Occupy encampments if it intends to close a downtown park to protesters.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg also ruled Tuesday that the Occupy D.C. protesters will have a chance to contest any eviction plans.

The National Park Service on Monday began enforcing a ban on camping that would affect the Occupy D.C. sites. But many protesters remained behind, and government officials have not given any indication of when or if the demonstrators will be cleared.

2. So ... who would they have to serve the notice to? (a "leader"?)

I mean, if you listen to the (allegedly) "liberally-biased media", the OWS protesters have no leader, let alone any clear message, goal, or direction (other than standing still) ...

3. If no one person can be identified, putting up a sign

or publishing it in the paper of record should suffice, in my opinion.
