Protest bans I changed the language of that section slightly Indiana for one does NOT ban protests The law makes disorderly conduct within 500 feet of a funeral a felony There is a huge difference between disorderly conduct an actionable offense and protest a form of speech I believe several other states have used similar language Banning protest would violate 1A as SCOTUS has ruled States are well within their authority to define disorderly conduct and prosecute on a sworn complaint It s a legal difference but an important one
