if you're going to make a bullshit arrest, at least have the decency to get the charges right.

Jesus! They're making just about every damn thing illegal!

the furor over this is that it actually isn't illegal. this kid, with a good lawyer, or even a not totally crappy one, will own that city when he's done.

Well I hope he's able to get one and screw them over since they're pretty much screwing over his future with this crap.

i'm fairly confident he'll win this. even the section they used doesn't qualify.

Um, WTF? Okay, but isn't wiretapping about phone calls and etc?

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

ayup. interception of electronic communications...thus the phrase "tapping the wire". even their own statute that they arrested him under specifies that.

That's what I thought. *morons*

[somedaybitch.livejournal.com]

totally. and their argument was the video was fine but the audio was a problem. which, i don't see how, because 1)they are public servants performing their duties. that makes them subject to scrutiny. 2) recording ambient audio while recording footage IS NOT electronic interception of electronic communication. 3)how do they explain how scanners *aren't* illegal by that same bullshit statute? /disgusted
