You are currently exercising your right of free speech. But by telling me to shut up, as he was, he is infringing it.

As one who lives under these laws, that isn't how that works. If I were to go up to a cop and tell him to shut up, it isn't a violation of the law (except insulting a cop, which I could be peppersprayed for, but that doesn't enter this discussion.) Infringing free speech means making it so that one can't say a point at all, which is not what has happened.

Gen. Grievous1138 (admin) comlink 19:15, April 17, 2016 (UTC) It is rather more like a cop telling you to shut up, then arresting you when you don't - after all you've done is demonstrate publicly (non-violently). Now, that's not actually an offense and thus it's a breach of free speech.
