Former ACORN workers in the city are planning to file a civil complaint against the makers of the video, according to the website Investigative Voice.

City state's attorney Patricia Jessamy said on WBAL's Shari Elicker Show that she could not prosecute based on restrictions for evidence obtained illegally.

Maryland law requires two party consent to be recorded.

Former employees of the beleaguered community activist group ACORN are planning to file a criiminal complaint in Baltimore against the creators of the series of videos that have spurred outrage against the organization, knowledgable sources have told Investigative Voice.

The filing could come as soon as Friday afternoon, sources said.

The criminal complaint will allege that recordings of the group’s employees giving advice on how to evade taxes and house underage South American sex workers to journalists posing as a pimp and prostitute were obtained illegally.

The criminal complaint is expected to name both James O’Keefe, 25, and Hannah Giles, 20, along with the owner of the website Breitbart, which initially released the videos.

ACORN is also contemplating a civil suit seeking an injunction aginst O'Keefe and Giles to prevent them from distributing the videos, according to an an email.

Not sure ACORN would want to open up this can of worms. Discovery could turn out to be real bitch for them and open the organization and all their corporate affiliations to some very embarrassing questions.

In the end I don’t thing this is going anywhere—even in Maryland. For the time being ACORN is rat (no pun intended [sarc]) poison to dems.

Unless the pressure is kept on ACORN will rear its ugly face again. But right now its fun watching the demrats and ACORN rats scurry for the shaddows.

My local rag ran an ACORN story on p. 20 today. Gist of the article, written by a Gannett dem shill, is that ACORN is a benign group that needs do a little housekeeping. Story made short mention of videos, but did not mention the ACORN voter fraud convictions and pending law suits.

IMHO the demrats deny, ignore and laugh off tactics have pretty much run their course. Mostly we have Hannah and Richard (?) to thank for that. It will be interesting to if Holder continues to head off ACORN investigations.
