Louisiana law on posting criminal activity states: 'It shall be unlawful for a person who is either a principal or accessory to a crime to obtain an image of the commission of the crime using any camera, videotape, photo-optical, photo-electric, or any other image recording device and to transfer that image obtained during the commission of the crime by the use of a computer online service, Internet service, or any other means of electronic communication, including but not limited to a local bulletin board service, Internet chat room, electronic mail, or online messaging service for the purpose of gaining notoriety, publicity, or the attention of the public.'

Not even close!
didn’t she know the rules of Fight Club?
Quick! Raise your hands if you knew this was a crime!
We would need a picture to determine guilt. Louisiana female at 32, odds are not guilty, but we need evidence.
But I don’t see how the law would apply. She was neither a principal or accessory. And it’s unlikely that her son was a principal or accessory. He might not even be the camera man.
So everyone who has ever posted a video of a couple of knuckleheads beating each other up is guilty of a crime?
There goes World Star Hip Hop.
That reads like the Louisiana Legislature was assigned to crap all over the First Amendment in at least 3000 words.
That was probably the first thought of 99.9% of Freepers.

And yet it’s legal to post in on Dailymail? If you’re going to squash free speech, it should apply equally to everyone.
Does this law include filming illegal police activity?
Innocent.
Wonder where she falls on the Crazy-Hot Matrix?
Since when is a high school fight a crime?
It might be against the rules, but a crime?
while this women is scummy for posting the fight. I am betting that the law that they are prosecuting her with is unconstitutional. according to the wording of the law if I post any video that has a crime being committed I can be prosecuted....normal hiden store video of shop lifter illegal...years ago video of rioting illegal...most of news would be illegal to show according to this law being used to prosecute the mother for posting the video of a fight.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
She takes a great mug shot!
If you are in Louisiana, DO NOT POST any photos of Congress in Session, MSNBC Talk Shows, DNC Activities, etc.
Especially Pelosi-Schumer press conferences.
They will lock you up and throw away the key, right?
/Sarc
High School kids fighting is not a crime.
What if someone is getting mugged on the street and you’d like to get evidence of the attackers. So now YOU are the guilty one?
UNBELIEVABLE!
