At that time, citizens criticized the container with a banner “Is this communication MB-style?”

Participatory Solidarity filed a constitutional complaint against the Commissioner of the National Police Agency, alleging that freedom of residence and relocation was violated. In 2011, the Constitutional Court raised the hands of the solidarity participants with 7 unconstitutional opinions versus 2 constitutional opinions. At that time, the Constitution explained that “even if there is the possibility of an illegal or violent assembly or demonstration, police action must be carried out to the minimum extent necessary according to individual and specific circumstances.”

In 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that the police could not consider it illegal in relation to the 2015 Popular Rally. The court found it to be legal because the police had no other means to curb the risk of damage other than the wall of the vehicle, and that the street was quickly dismantled at the point where illegal activities such as protesters took over the road.
