Protesters had filed lawsuit against the city for banning people from a park where they have set up an encampment. So far, the city had ticketed the protesters approximately $25,000. Occupy Cincinnati protesters are calling on city council members to remove rules that ban anyone from being in a public park after 10 p.m.
