This order does not prohibit appellees from further bona fide prosecution in any case in which they reasonably believe that they have adequate evidence to support probable cause for arrest and prosecution, nor does it preclude the appellees from suspending any or all prosecutions until the hearing on the preliminary injunction in the District Court, or until such time as they are able to make an orderly determination in each case as to whether prosecution is to be continued.
