    According to police, Marvin repeatedly blocked the robot’s path and ignored multiple commands from officers to move.

    She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

    Can standing in a public space legally be enforced as “disorderly conduct?”

      She wasn’t charged with disorderly conduct for standing. She was charged with it for repeatedly moving and for ignoring officers’ commands to stop moving.

      If she did that to you while you are trying to get to your office for an important meeting, how would you feel about her actions? If the robot did that to you, how upset would you be?
