at the same time, the drivers could have got out of their car and left. so i don't know that that. >> it's false imprisonment charge would hold up in trial. >> clark says as a former prosecutor, this will be overall a challenge in court when the defense argues for first amendment rights. i think it will be a difficult call for the da just how to handle these cases. >> because this is a very progressive community. we do respect the right free speech. but at the same time, we don't want to see public safety jeopardized. >> i reached out to the district attorneys in alameda county and san francisco. it's too soon to say what charges they will pursue. clark believes they'll look to see if any of the protesters arrested today were involvud in the protests that shut down the bay bridge 5 months ago during the apec conference, he says that could enhance these charges. i'm sara stinson reporting the studio. back to you. >> sarah, thank you. stick with kron. 4, of course, on air and online for continuing coverage. you can download the
