By Noel Sheppard | September 12, 2009 - 15:26 In a shocking twist to Thursday's ACORN sting video story, the Baltimore city state's attorney is considering charging the two people that exposed the activity.
As NewsBusters has been reporting, Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe caught on video several ACORN representatives giving them advice as to how to get a loan to purchase a house to be used as a brothel whose employees would be under-aged illegal immigrants.
Despite the long list of laws possibly broken by these ACORN representatives, the Baltimore city state's attorneys office is looking into whether or not Giles and O'Keefe violated statutes concerning taping people without their consent....

Yep, I used to interview prisoners in the state pen. Murderers, rapists. Not one of them were guilty, they were all entrapped. Every single one was innocent.
I’m with you. If there is any hope for our republic, every red-blooded and able-bodied American should be ready and willing to descend on Baltimore to tear the place apart if those corrupt clowns pursue this.
Obviously the inept states attorney is as stupid as the Acorn pigs.
Good research, Thanks. About what I expected.
...or maybe financially connected to them
Great cartoon.... That day is coming. Does that tarred and feathered politician look like Pelosi?
I dont want to be anything close to adamant because I’m not a lawyer, but I do believe the law in question is a telecommunications law. It applies to “oral communications” e.g. phone conversations and “electronic communications” (obviously not videotaping).
I believe the prosecutor is just trying to intimidate. Real professional. NOT.
I didn't say this, Its the voice recording that I said was illegal. There is an out for voice recording crimes I seem to remember. But the part about disclosing the recording to FNC might be the part they try to move on.
In any case this is political poison for Obama.
Obama likes prancing around being important...but he seems to really dislike people knowing about his “accomplishments” and personal history, as evidenced by his refusal to let the public access his school records et al.
Are they ignoring the actions to aid and abet prostitution?
Or are these being investigated as well?

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the article,whether or not there are Maryland cases interpreting the statue, or whether the statute has been amended since the article was written. But there are a number of legal wrinkles, such as, what is an intercept,what is an acquisition, etc., that make the legal issue unclear in this context(at least to me, a retired lawyer).
Can you say “Jury Nullification”?
It would be against good public policy to convict.
It would make sense that it did in this case. They were certainly communicating orally.

I would bet the states attorney office has already gotten a call from the ACORN agitator Obama (President O'Acorn) to just let this blow over. I doubt if they really think they can keep these videos from being played. They will treat it like they did today's protests. Ignore it, downplay it, marginalize it, let Fox News and talk radio be the only ones to talk about it. Just a few bad people like the ones that already got caught in all of the other ACORN fraud cases. That's their story and they'll stick to it.

If this @ss tries to prosecute, I will personally help raise money to battle the Obama bastard!
