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.”

    My reaction to the accusation and general stance is that I would absolutely not want to defend you if someone steals your stuff.
    Btw, I don’t see how making people hate you helps you achieving whatever your actual goal is.

      I’m tired of people coping themselves out of responsibility, stop feeding the systems that are trying to enslave or discard us. Is that such a difficult thing to do? Stop empower our mutual economic abusers. If you suffering is what to takes to get passed your coping and excuses, so be it.
