Under the law, knowingly trespassing on property containing a critical infrastructure facility is a misdemeanor punishable by a year in prison and a $2,000 fine. Knowingly tampering with any property and as a direct result interfering, inhibiting, or impeding the maintenance or construction of a critical infrastructure facility is a felony punishable by two years in prison and/or a $4,000 fine. A person or organization found to be a "conspirator" in any of the above offenses faces a range of criminal fines. Any owner, lessee, or operator of any critical infrastructure facility where a crime is committed under one of the above provisions is designated a "victim" under South Dakota law, which entitles them to restitution and other victims' rights. As such, a company that owns a critical infrastructure facility can seek restitution from an individual protester convicted of any of the above provisions, as well as from any person or entity found to be a "conspirator." </p><p>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/12001" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill</span><span class="invisible">/12001</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 4 Feb 2020; Approved by Senate 27 February 2020; Approved by House 9 March 2020; Signed by Governor March 18 2020</p><p>Issue(s): <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestSupporters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestSupporters</span></a> or Funders, Infrastructure, Trespass<br> </p><p>HB 1117: New criminal and civil liability for "incitement to riot"</p><p>Revises the state's laws on rioting and replaces a "riot-boosting" law that was passed in 2019 but later blocked by a federal court as unconstitutional. The law revises the definition of "riot" under South Dakota law to be "any intentional use of force or violence by three or more persons, acting together and without authority of law, to cause any injury to any person or any damage to property." Under the law, "incitement to riot" is a new felony offense, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $10,000 in fines, and defined as conduct that "urges" three or more people to use force or violence to cause personal injury or property damage, if the force or violence is "imminent" and the urging is likely to "incite or produce" the force or violence. The law defines "urging" to include "instigating, inciting, or directing," but excludes "oral or written advocacy of ideas or expression of belief that does not urge" imminent force or violence. Under the law, individuals may additionally be civilly liable for riot and incitement to riot, enabling lawsuits against protesters by the state, counties, or municipalities. Both 2019's "riot-boosting" law and HB 1117 appear to target protests against construction of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KeystoneXL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeystoneXL</span></a> and other pipelines.<br> <br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bills/43" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill</span><span class="invisible">s/43</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 29 Jan 2020; Approved by House 18 February 2020; Approved by Senate 5 March 2020; Signed by Governor Noem 23 March 2020</p><p>Issue(s): Civil Liability, Protest Supporters or Funders, Riot</p><p>SB 189: Expanded civil liability for protesters and protest funders</p><p>**Note: According to an October 24, 2019 settlement agreement that resulted from a constitutional challenge to SB189, the state will not enforce many of the provisions of the law that could be applied to peaceful protesters and organizations that support them.** SB189 created new civil liability for "riot boosters." South Dakota criminal law defines "riot" broadly such that it can cover some forms of peaceful protest; as originally enacted, SB189 created civil liability for a person or organization that "does not personally participate in any riot but directs, advises, encourages, or solicits other persons participating in the riot to acts of force or violence." It was unclear what might have constituted "advice" or "encouragement" to carry out an act of force, such that an individual who shouted encouragement on the sidelines of a disruptive protest, or organizations that provided advice about conducting a peaceful but disruptive protest, might have been implicated. Following the October 24, 2019 settlement, the state will not enforce this provision. Nonetheless, enforceable provisions of the law still establish civil liability for any person or organization that is advised or encouraged by another, and that "makes any threat to use force or violence, if accompanied by immediate power of execution" in a group of three or more persons. The state or a third party may sue the person or organization for extensive civil damages, including punitive damages. Further, enforceable provisions of the law provide that a person or organization is liable for "riot boosting" if they engage in it personally "or through any employee, agent, or subsidiary." Accordingly, individuals, organizations, and funders may still be held civilly liable for substantial amounts of money for any involvement in a disruptive protest. Damages recovered by the state shall, according to the law, be deposited in a "riot boosting recovery fund," which may be used to pay for the state's response to disruptive protests. The law was introduced in response to pipeline protests in other states and ahead of construction of the Keystone XL pipeline in South Dakota. <br> <br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/10176" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill</span><span class="invisible">/10176</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 4 Mar 2019; Approved by Senate 7 March 2019; Approved by House 7 March 2019; Signed by Governor Noem 27 March 2019</p><p>Issue(s): <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilLiability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilLiability</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtestSupporters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtestSupporters</span></a> or Funders, Infrastructure, Riot<br> </p><p>SB 176: Expanding governor's power to restrict certain protests</p><p>Expands the governor's authority to curtail protest activities on public lands and restricts protests that interfere with highway traffic. The law enables the governor and sheriff to prohibit gatherings of 20 or more people on public land, if the gathering might damage the land or interfere with the renter's use of the land. The law enables South Dakota's Department of Transportation to prohibit or otherwise restrict an individual or vehicle from stopping, standing, parking, or being present on any highway if it interferes with traffic. The law also expands the crime of trespass, providing that an individual who defies a posted order not to enter a zone where assembling has been prohibited would be guilty of criminal trespass. Obstructing traffic or committing criminal trespass are classified as Class 1 misdemeanors, punishable by one year in jail or a $2,000 fine, or both. The law was proposed by Governor Daugaard to address potential pipeline protests. <br> <br>Full text of bill:<br><a href="https://mylrc.sdlegislature.gov/api/Documents/284178.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mylrc.sdlegislature.gov/api/Do</span><span class="invisible">cuments/284178.pdf</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted</p><p>Introduced 3 Mar 2017; Signed by Governor Daugaard 14 March 2017</p><p>Issue(s): <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrafficInterference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrafficInterference</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trespass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trespass</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clampdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Clampdown</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingProtest</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtestLaws</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PipelineProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PipelineProtests</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPPs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoKXL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoKXL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterDefenders</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>From 2019: Criminalization of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRights</span></a> Defenders of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeoples</span></a> Resisting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtractiveIndustries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExtractiveIndustries</span></a> in the United States</p><p>Report to the Inter-American<br>Commission on Human Rights</p><p>Prepared by the University of Arizona Rogers College of Law, Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy Program on behalf of the Water Protector Legal Collective</p><p>6/24/2019</p><p>Introduction</p><p>1. Peaceful demonstrations are a catalyst for the advancement of human rights. Yet around the world governments are criminalizing dissent and suppressing public <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a>, often as a means to protect <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateInterests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateInterests</span></a>. In this context, indigenous peoples increasingly find themselves as the subjects of arrests, criminal prosecution and police violence when defending the lands they rely upon for their existence and survival from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResourceExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResourceExtraction</span></a> by industries who are operating without the free prior and informed consent of the affected communities.</p><p>2. This report is submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IACHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IACHR</span></a>) in conjunction with a thematic hearing held during the 172nd period of sessions. At the hearing,<br>Commissioners heard directly from those involved in the indigenous-led resistance to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DakotaAccessPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DakotaAccessPipeline</span></a> (DAPL) at Standing Rock, North Dakota. This report addresses the criminalization and suppression of protest by indigenous human rights defenders and their allies by United States (U.S.) federal, state and local governments, working hand-in-hand with private security forces [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a>], specifically in relation to the construction and operation of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAPL</span></a> by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a><br>Partners and Dakota Access, LLC (Dakota Access) and the connected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BayouBridgePipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BayouBridgePipeline</span></a> (collectively the “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BakkenPipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BakkenPipeline</span></a>”).</p><p>3. Standing Rock is an emblematic case of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousResistance</span></a> to extractive industry that drew attention from around the world as water protectors met on the banks of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MissouriRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MissouriRiver</span></a> in peaceful assembly in what was the largest gathering of indigenous peoples in the U.S. in 100 years. Standing Rock is merely one example of how the U.S. government works with industry to approve energy projects carried out without the meaningful participation or consent of<br>indigenous nations. Indigenous peoples are left with no choice but to peacefully protest and then are criminalized for their efforts to defend their lands and resources.</p><p>4. Since Standing Rock, there has been an alarming trend by the United States government and state legislatures to criminalize opposition to pipelines and other energy projects. These <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtest</span></a> and so-called “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriticalInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriticalInfrastructure</span></a> laws” progress towards criminalizing dissent and implicitly condone the use of excessive force towards human rights defenders, often including indigenous peoples and their allies who are at the forefront of resistance to extractive industries. As the international community has acknowledged, these laws are incompatible with domestic and international law. The governments’ use of excessive force and mass arrests to threaten, intimidate, and silence “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterProtectors</span></a>” seeking to defend their lands, resources, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>culture</span></a>, and the collusion with private security forces, violate fundamental human rights to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> and Aassembly enshrined in international human rights law and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USConstitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitution</span></a>.</p><p>5.

In addition, the United Nations has reported on the situation at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRock</span></a> through the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of of indigenous peoples. Despite condemnation from these international bodies and mechanisms, water protectors continue to suffer impacts from the criminalization of their dissent, while the United States moves forward permitting new <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pipeline</span></a> projects on indigenous territories.</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://law.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/FINAL%20IPLP-WPLC%20Report%20to%20IACHR%20-%206-24-19.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">law.arizona.edu/sites/default/</span><span class="invisible">files/FINAL%20IPLP-WPLC%20Report%20to%20IACHR%20-%206-24-19.pdf</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HR9495</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopHR9495" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopHR9495</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritanism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrince</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrinceColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrinceColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandWithStandingRock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMiningWithoutConsent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoMiningWithoutConsent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoDAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoDAPL</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRockSioux</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandDefenders</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterDefenders</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterProtectors</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendTheSacred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheSacred</span></a></p>
