Deconstructing the Nashua arrest of a man who videotaped police at his home.

[Christopher King]

This case, featured in the Nashua Telegraph and throughout the Internet in the past week, is but a symptom of a much larger problem.

Take a look at my blawg entry, which contains links to the original stories.

Here's an excerpt:

Nashua Police (with whom I generally get along -- with one exception as noted in the comments section) have actually charged Michael Gannon with felony counts of wiretapping for video/audio recording execution of a police warrant at his own home. This is Supreme Court material folks, as is my bullshit NAACP/extortion case.

First off, what's hootlarious is this question: What's to prevent a burglar from making a charge against Gannon or anyone else if audio is captured along with the video, huh? The audio component is the alleged point of the wiretap charge, right?

I'm going to have a chat with Mr. Gannon to advise him of his rights to video courtroom proceedings, consistent with KingCast.net -- except we were refused access on a few occasions, once before Supreme Court Justice Gary Hicks before his ascension to the High Court, and also as seen in "Day in Nashua," at KingCast.net, wherein we got locked out even as I was kicking NAACP Nashua President Gloria Timmons' ever-loving ass on her ridiculous "stalking" charges brought because of my websites.

We finally got to shoot video in court, and look what we got on video in the post "The importance of shaking hands," and the post, "Charlie Bauer, Orr & Reno get slammed on First Amendment."

I love the First Amendment, and I bear no compunction to say that I'm quite good at exercising my purportedly Inalienable Rights guaranteed pursuant to the Grand Amendment. Meanwhile, the haters blow hot air and try to think of ways to shut me down. My writer and other people in the movie business have their opinions as well, as we will see in due time.

Meanwhile, perhaps Mr. Gannon will appreciate Justiceforkids.net as well, where we record government officials doing stupid shit all the time. And as Mr. Gannon plans to sue, and because the police try to make an issue of him allegedly being "verbally abusive" I know he will dig the Michael Isreal story where I got that brother $57,500 after he told his brother a cop was "racist" and they retaliated against him. Truth is, you can tell a police officer pretty much anything you want to unless you threaten violence, and that's a fact, Jack.

PS: Query, I wonder if those damn proposed (and rejected) spy cameras out there in Monadnock carried sound, could we then arrest the police and charge them with wiretap violations?

Here is the post beat-down interview on FreeTalk live.

Still so ironic this happened about 500 feet from one of my friend's apartments who lives on the same street in Nashua.
