Can some one point to the VDO that the police are claiming to be a crime?

Does it matter?

Yes, because I want to see what kind of fucking asses the cops are.
It would also be nice to show it around and say, "Look what fucking asses are doing... isn't it stupid and ass like."
I all so might like to emulate Biker Bill's style in that VDO.
Or even recreate the conditions.

So can you point me to the VDO that the police are claiming to be a crime?

I don't think it was a video.  According to William:

"He's out but it's confirmed, he's been charged with a felony for making a porc 411 call."
and
"Yes, it was the night we were all at Palmer's tavern, he got pulled over on the way home."
They came to his house and arrested him.

Also this was interesting:
Bill McGonigle "Mere co-incidence that he did the video recording for the House Session on de-criminalizing such recordings?:
NH GOP Needs to Explain Platform to GOP Reps - Highlights
Seems to me like he's been targeted for engaging in the political process."

they sure are pushing the whole idea of thuggery in secret

"we agree with the Smiths that they had a First Amendment right, subject to reasonable time, manner and place restrictions, to photograph or videotape police conduct. The First Amendment protects the right to gather information about what public officials do on public property, and specifically, a right to record matters of public interest." Smith v. City of Cumming (11th Cir., 2000) at http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=16398383335009435380&q=%22city+of+cumming%22&hl=en&as_sdt=4,56,57

Does anybody know the statute Bill is charged under ?

[Kat Kanning]

I think you can rule out the Statute of Liberty.

[MaineShark]

I think you can rule out the Statute of Liberty.

No, that's exactly it.

We have to destroy liberty in order to save it!

Some of us hope that after Bill wins his court case, he goes after all of the perps with lawsuits.
