[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and Gerrard, District Judge] Civil case - Civil rights. The defendant Missouri State Trooper could reasonably interpret a municipal ordinance to forbid overpass protests that hinder or impede traffic; the ordinance authorized defendant to issue a proper order to disperse, and the doctrine of qualified immunity protected defendant from First Amendment damages because he had no reason to know, based on preexisting law, that his order to plaintiff was unlawful; plaintiff disobeyed a lawful order to disperse and the defendant had probable cause to arrest him under Missouri law; constitutional challenges to Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 43.170 rejected.
