Lauren moved to New London, Connecticut in order to help the homeowners fight the government from stealing their property (you know, eminent domain, for the good of the people!). She got the permission of one homeowner (whose house was to be stolen from him) to sit on his front porch and read a book. The cops didn't want the homeowner to control his property, though, nor Lauren to sit peacefully and read a book, so they arrested her. She wouldn't help them arrest her, so she went limp; they had to work if they wanted to arrest her. They dragged her limp body to the cop car, and to the jail, and everywhere.
