Reply to comment by strugglz in Supreme Court rejects man’s bid to sue police over arrest for Facebook parody by sue_me_please

>can the department detail how their operations were disrupted since that is the charge?

While I disagree with them arresting the person, I can see how this could happen. People read the fake site, think it's real, and start calling the police to complain. Their phone operator is now spending half the day dealing with people complaining about fake posts.

Or I could also see somebody just getting mad about it and trying to strong arm him into shutting down the site.

According to the Criminal podcast the police department got 11 calls related to the fake site (either complaining about it or alerting the PD of its existence.) Calling 11 calls “disrupting operations” seems like a stretch.
