Judge orders state to hold off ‘til Friday before seizing anything at Occupy site

U.S. District Judge Lynn Winmill wrote in his Occupy Boise decision today, “The Court directs the state to delay until March 2, 2012, the seizure of any personal belongings at the encampment to give all parties a chance to read, understand and comply with this decision.” The judge ruled that the state can’t require removal of the symbolic tent city, but can ban sleeping, camping, or storing camping-related personal property - including cooking and fire-building materials - at the site. The state had planned to evict all tents from the site at 5 p.m. today.
