Will every OWS arrestee demand a jury trial?
Seems to me that would be the next logical step- jam up the legal system for years.

4. Misdemenors don't usually allow that, but you can address the court and that can be arduous.

5. in my experience you can be punished for exercising your legal rights
such as a jury trial. It can be made clear to you that a - plead guilty andpay a $100 fine or, b - go to court and pay a larger fine and/or get jail time.
