MadPal Strikes Again
MadPal video (Nancy Bechtol) strikes again. This time she documents our after-court interview capturing the flavor for the Cook County Court House lobby. Technically we are not permitted to do this but we did before they realized we had done it by hiding out in the Tribune interview area after my Chicago Tribune interview. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-fe93ohqMw&feature=youtu.be

police violate a citizen’s right to video-record
Another sad illustration of police trying to violate a citizen’s right to video-record their public misdeeds. In a disturbing note, Youtube apparently participated in censoring the original video. We will be very watchful of Youtube in the future to determine a trend if they repeatedly censor police critical videos.
