The card information is a very big deal. First of all, the only argument Nifong gave for it was to verify any statements the potential witnesses made. That flimsy argument was not enough to overcome the FERPA protections.
Second, Nifong wanted to go on a fishing expedition with that information. He is not entitled to it under FERPA. No player is obligated to talk to Nifong. I don't think that Nifong knows for certain who attended the party. And maybe he would if he had properly investigated this case rather than turned it into a plotical tool to win the primary.
Loved the line from the defense attorney who said that there wasn't a card swipe at 610 Buchanan! Nifong particularly wants to know where Collin was.
Third, the release of data card information on such a flimsy argument would be chilling. This is private information protected by federal law. There is no reason to release this information to Nifong. He's already shown that he has abused his position of power. Information is power. I'm glad someone reined him in.
C. Destine could be both: a supporter of Moro Islamic Liberation Front as well as interested in women with children. This thread is the first I ever heard of MILF.
Really? You would want everyone to know what you bought at the campus drug store? when you last went to the campus informary? what dorm you spent the night in last Tuesday? how late you got home July 16? books you took out from the library? where you ate breakfast Wednesday morning?
I am relieved that I gave a false name and address when I got one of those grocery store swipe thingys. If I had given my real name and address I would be destroying it right now.
(you still get the finder's fee!)
well, hell. never made above a "c" in my typing classes way back in 1967...
Gawd, some of those Hillside High alums have some graphic profiles.

This is from the N & O?
It's a start, a baby step at best.
from Barry Saunders, their resident racist.
Sorry, homes, but that isn't leadership.
I think he either meant to write Holmes or homey.
You might not know MILF if you do not have teenaged boys in the house
I would post the information on more threads at CTV but my membership is gone. hmmmm
"Nifong requested the swipe card data for a limited time period, maybe 24 hours"
Ummm. . . isn't it a little late for him to start investigating this case? Don't you decide who to charge
AFTER you find out who did the crime and get the evidence?
(Sorry, but I'm not too familiar with police work.)
What did you do, maggief?
Coldwater strikes again.
Where did you find out his parent's names?
I don't know what happened so I signed up again.
