State's Attorney Considers Prosecuting ACORN Video Posters (The VIDEO Makers-NOT ACORN!)
WBAL ^ | 9-11-09 | Anne Kramer, Robert Lang

Posted on 09/11/2009 4:32:43 PM PDT by icwhatudo

Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore. The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video. Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete. In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.

If it is determined that the audio portion now being heard on YouTube was illegally obtained, it is also illegal under Maryland Law to willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio. The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to 5 years.

Thanks for the ping:)

Isn’t this what NBC did with the child porn and pedophiles? I know they did have the cops involved- but I’m trying to remember - was law enforement involved from the very beginning? Or did they start out just doing exposes?

ACORN is the beneficiary of over a BILLION dollars in Obama "stimulus" money. They are TAXPAYER FUNDED. There is no crime here except those committed by ACORN employees.

Also, what about traffic cameras and those mounted on police cars? What about witnesses to hear someone confessing to a crime, and then later PUBLICLY EXPOSE that information? What about any and all exposes done by investigative journalists anywhere? Isn't the guy an independent filmmaker?

IMO, they have a 1st Amendment case here.

I agree it’ll be hard to prosecute, especially now that the census bureau fired ACORN.

A lot of nothing from Maryland. The Acorn horse is already out of the barn. The video has already made an impact. The Onada Administration is having to go on the defensive. It has had to do a public Pontius Pilate and that adds up to another negative week for The Dear Leader—despite his angry Onadacare speech.

Yep, gettin up in the morning is a hoot these days as I know there will be at least one negtative Onada story out there. If this Marxist idiot was a Pubbie, Pelosi and Reid would be howling for his impeachment. But not our Pubbies. No, they’re happy for the crumbs the dems throw them.

they need to be taken to the inexpensive, average-salary-man type underground drinking areas (yakitori) under the train tracks at Shimbashi and Yurakucho and treated. they neded to get a little tipsy and receptive. They we need to show them the recent rallies on a small DVD player, and tell them about ACORN, walk them through it, and finally connect to both OBAMA and CORRUPTION, adding the element of popular uprising against Obama from people from all walks of life from various political backgrounds, so soon after the Japanese coronation, which they all came to and freezed their asses off.It will make for a good Saturday afternoon Japanese documentary, or a prime time NHK BS-1 Documentary. I am working on the producers now who might have interest.

I was very disappointed with the age of the people at my tea party.

You should be ashamed of the young people in your state who did not show up ... and not bash the seniors that attended.

Art? No.

They should argue freedom of the press under the 1st amendment.

Its racist. blacks attacking whites.

When does it become legal discrimination for whites to be prevented from reporting crimes committed by blacks?.....

.....Never?

When do true non-racists of all colors push back on the black centered racism racket and repeal politically correct laws and customs?

I think there's more tapes to come... Here's my logic:

It's hard to believe the two brave reporters who walked into the corrupt ACORN offices started with the story about the hookers and the thirteen year old sex slaves. Most people wouldn't start with such an outrageous story... they would start smaller - go for simple corruption - blander lies. I doubt they thought even ACORN filth would go along with child sex slavery.

So I suspect there are hundreds of "lead up" videos - with ACORN personnel being corrupt - and horrible - but not "child sex slave" horrible.

Hats off to the two brave reporters ... we're going to win this one.

The drip, drip, drip approach will be the best... it will wear out the liars and excuse makers...

Here's my logic about why there's more tapes:

Beck will show these tapes until hell freezes over. By about the 50th tape, the MSM will stop making excuses and the “dem apologists” will give up. Oh they'll put out the “move on” crap - but the public will be fascinated. And glued to the TV - each tape will show the MSM for what they really are - an arm of one party...
