Running over protesters on roadways could soon be legal in North Dakota

I have no idea what you mean by “known history of the people introducing this law”, but I don’t think they really expect it to go anywhere. It plays very well with the conservative mindset of the majority of that areas voters though, and ultimately that’s all they really care about. If it did pass, there’s not much to do in enforcing it, it’s just an easy way for district attorney’s to not have to press charges in the face of public opinion. That’s part of why I don’t like it, in that it’s too easy to abuse. The current system will exonerate an innocent driver well as-is.
