He explains the bill this way, "provides that a person driving an automobile while exercising due care is immune for civil liability for any injury to another if the injured person was participating in a demonstration or protest and blocking traffic."
Translation: a driver who hits, or even runs over, a protester on a street could be shielded from lawsuits by the person they injure.
But Burr wanted to be clear on one point. "Now this bill does not allow for a driver of a vehicle to target protesters intentionally. That obviously is not the intention."
In other words, if you were trying to get from point A to point B and you just happen to hit a protester, or more, while driving through a demonstration, you would be protected from civil lawsuits.
