We are planning to organize a protest in a city park to express our dissatisfaction with the current government policies. We know that obtaining a permit is required by law, but we don't have the resources or time to do so. What are the consequences if we get caught? Is there any way we can still proceed without obtaining a permit?

If you get caught holding a protest without a permit, there could be serious legal repercussions. The city may charge you with breaking the law and fine you for up to $1,000. There could also be criminal charges if the protest grows unruly or violent. Furthermore, even if you don't obtain a permit it is important to check local ordinances and check with the parks department about specific restrictions related to protesting in public spaces before proceeding.

It is likely that you will be cited for trespassing if you proceed without a permit in a city park. Depending on the local ordinances, you may also face other sanctions such as removal from the park and/or fines. Unfortunately, there is often no way around obtaining the required permit in order to legally hold an event in a city park.
