Full Title: St. Petersburg sees first RNC-related arrests after men found on downtown rooftop with weapons
ST. PETERSBURG — Two suspected protesters were arrested after they were found playing with a BB gun atop a downtown parking garage, authorities said.
They also found several items indicating the people were protesters, including antigovernment T-shirts and a backpack stuffed with a large machete, a pocketknife, tin snips and a pry tool, Puetz said.
The backpack belonged to Trevor Swanson, 19, of St. Petersburg, who is prohibited from having weapons because of a domestic violence injunction.
Police said the other man on the roof, Kyle Shaw, 21, had a BB gun in his waistband.
Authorities also found bandanas, black gloves and a putty that Swanson admitted was for securing a mask, police said.

That would change in a heartbeat if only for one thing: A law to make the plaintiffs' lawyers pay all of the costs for the defense when a case is tossed out or a verdict for a defendant is reached.

You mean "loser pays" laws? They've been suggested before to fight frivolous lawsuits. Don't know what effect they'd have on criminal trials since the state already provides for the defense via public defenders.
