Carolyn Marvin, 78, said she is exercising her First Amendment right to protest — and will do it again.

Police confirmed they had responded to a report of “criminal mischief involving a robot” on the 1200 block of Filbert Street around 1:16 p.m. on Wednesday. A woman on the scene ignored “multiple commands” to move, they said, resulting in a criminal violation notice for disorderly conduct.

Uber declined to comment.

Marvin, who plans to contest the charge on the grounds of her First Amendment right to protest, has been undeterred by the arrest. She plans to continue blocking Uber Eats robots and chatting with curious passersby who ask what she’s doing.

“It allows me to talk to people about what’s going on,” she said. “It’s always very interesting conversations that we have, and I think it’s good to have those kinds of conversations in public space.”

    Waymo’s have hitl. When you see a Waymo stuck for “hours” that’s the exception that gets blasted across the internet to confirm biases.

    They didn’t do any of this. It’s the nerd version of internet tough guy.

          I don’t care if the story is real or not. In fact, I’m inclined to agree with you that it’s probably fake. Doesn’t change the fact that you’re all over this thread running defense for fucking Waymo, of all corporations
