This is why we have jury trials. It takes 12 strangers to agree unanimously that a person arrested for sedition in a protest is guilty.

>>The federal law against seditious conspiracy can be found in Title 18 of the U.S. Code (which includes treason, rebellion, and similar offenses), specifically 18 U.S.C. § 2384. According to the statutory definition of sedition, it is a crime for two or more people within the jurisdiction of the United States:

To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force the government of the United States or to level war against them;
To oppose by force the authority of the United States government; to prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States; or
To take, seize, or possess by force any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof<<

Lots of luck with that. Somehow, I suspect that about 43% of the jury would vote to convict without even hearing the evidence.
