Civil rights attorneys argue Florida’s ‘Halo Law’ is unconstitutional

After two Jacksonville women were charged with violating Florida’s recently enacted Halo Law in connection with a violent arrest outside a school last week, two high-profile civil rights attorneys are demanding changes. Anita Gibson and Jasmine Jefferson became the first two people in Jacksonville to be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor under the law, which requires a 25-foot buffer zone for all first responders, including law enforcement, while they are performing their jobs.
