In March 2016, Anthony Novak, a resident of Parma, created a parody Facebook page superficially resembling the local police department's official page, with outlandish, satirical posts easily distinguished from actual police public-affairs content.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Eidelman |first1=Vera |last2=Shapiro |first2=Ilya |last3=Berry |first3=Thomas A. |title=''Novak v. City of Parma'' |url=https://www.cato.org/legal-briefs/novak-v-city-parma |website=Cato Institute |access-date=October 5, 2022}}</ref> Despite the page being voluntarily removed after 12 hours, the Parma Police subsequently obtained warrants and raided Novak's apartment in the middle of the night three weeks later, seizing electronic devices belonging Novak and his roommate, and arresting and jailing Novak for four days until he could make bail. Novak was charged with felony disruption of police operations, but was acquitted at trial; a subsequent lawsuit against the police for civil rights violations was rebuffed by the Sixth Circuit, citing qualified immunity.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wimer |first1=Andrew |title=New Supreme Court Appeal Asks: "Can Police Arrest and Prosecute You for Making Fun of Them?" |url=https://ij.org/press-release/new-supreme-court-appeal-asks-can-police-arrest-and-prosecute-you-for-making-fun-of-them/ |website=ij.org |date=September 27, 2022 |publisher=Institute for Justice |access-date=October 5, 2022}}</ref> Novak's appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court garnered legal briefs from the [[ACLU]] and [[Cato Institute]], but gained notoriety because of a supporting brief filed by satirical website ''[[The Onion]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Onion advises the Supreme Court's 'total Latin dorks' on parody |url=https://www.npr.org/2022/10/04/1126699814/the-onion-supreme-courts-parody-law-enforcement-anthony-novak-parma |website=[[NPR]] |agency=[[Associated Press]] |access-date=October 5, 2022}}</ref>
