    IANAL, but it’s a hypothetical (and a joke). If you get charged with vandalizing the pool or beaten for no other reason than wearing a shirt, you could probably win that lawsuit. There’s a lot of things they could do to ‘punish’ you that you couldn’t win a lawsuit over, like detaining.

      The Federal government has to allow you to sue them. Soverign Immunity is what it’s called, and it applies to most countries in some form.

      4 cops saw you “pouring a liquid into the pool”.
      Their witness accounts don’t match up and 3 of them were on the other side of the city at the time, but the judge believes them anyway.
