| When the summary of a new law is comprised entirely of saying it bans things that are already illegal (such as harassment [1]), that's a good sign they're lying through omission. In this case, the law makes it a 1st class misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail time and $1000 fine [2]) to "display or project, using any medium, an image onto a building, structure, or other property without the written consent of the owner of the building, structure, or property" [3]. I.e. even if the display is not harassing or threatening in any way, and even if the owner does not complain, you can go to jail for up to a year. That includes any structure (such as a bridge or billboard), and any medium (unfurl a banner or use a projector). In other words, it makes illegal to spread a message through anything but official channels they can pressure and control. [1] https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/crime-penalties/federa...
