Arrested for handing out the Constitution

Rachel Culver:

Tizon, a student at the time of the incident, was arrested by the ASU Police Department on March 3, 2022.

In January of this year, Liberty Justice Center, which represents Tizon, appealed the conviction.

brief in his defense argued that the Arizona Forum Act defines all public areas of the ASU campus as public forums in which students are free to express their own message, even controversial ones.

Following his arrest, Tizon said through his attorneys: “Universities are supposed to be the epicenter of the marketplace of ideas.”

“ASU has let me down and every other student too by placing its bureaucracy ahead of our First Amendment rights.”
