CAL POLICE INDEFINITELY DETAIN GUERILLA FARMERS, ABUSE BYSTANDER!

California State Law requires that anyone who is arrested be arraigned within 48 hours of their trial. In order to meet this law within the court operation hours, the 3 farmers should have been arraigned by 4:30pm Tuesday afternoon.

But the DA claimed that she still needed to file the charges against them, and stalled their arraignment.

However, they cannot be legally arraigned after 4:30 pm yesterday anyway, meaning they should have been released and sent home around 5:00pm.

The DA, however, claiming her desire to (illegally) arraign them *after* the 48 hour window, had the 3 of them sent to Santa Rita prison.
