This bill proposes to amend section 1507 of title 18, United States Code, to establish a specific prohibition against certain activities near judicial personnel. It explicitly targets individuals who knowingly picket or parade in or near a building or residence used by any judge, juror, witness, or court officer. The legislation also extends this prohibition to include the use of sound-trucks or similar devices , or any other form of demonstration, in proximity to these locations. The intent is to prevent intimidation or undue influence on individuals involved in the judicial process by restricting protests at their private or official residences and buildings. Violators of this new provision would be subject to federal penalties, including fines, imprisonment for up to one year, or both.
