Does Cruz still have a Texas law license? He should jump in and defend them pro bono. That would turbocharge his campaign.
The key here is Lauren Reeder. She’s in the prosecuting attorney’s office AND also on the board of directors for Harris County Planned Parenthood.
Talk about your conflict of interest!!!
Fake ID for illegals and Moose, Good
Fake ID by Americans doing the same thing as 60Min, BAD
I guess investigative reporting/whistleblowing is now classified as “intent to cause harm”.
They exposed what was going on at Planned Parenthood, so that we could see it for ourselves and what these people do and what they’re like, and I’m forever thankful for that.
Amazing how illegal immigrants have an industry to make fake driver’s licenses, and as the New York Times admits, most work under stolen/false Social Security numbers, but I believe even the SC has ruled they can’t be prosecuted for using them since it is presumed they do so without knowledge that it’s a crime.
Of course, ignorance of the law is no excuse, except when it serves secular humanists. See Hillary Clinton.
And how do undercover liberal journalists get access to places that are hard to get into?
If the prosecutor is trying to use the state law on fake IDs....IF the person is under 21, and intent on showing an older age....it’s a Class C misdemeanor, punishable up to a $500 fine.
If this was a fake identity thing....it’s a Class A misdemeanor with a $2,000 fine and up to 180 days in jail.
If the best they can do is talk fake ID....their case is pretty screwed up. Then trying to use this fake ID state law on something that has nothing to do with alcohol consumption or bad-check writing (it’s intention) will draw a judge to just start laughing.
Please do this right now, and pass it on to as many people as you can. This petition is sponsored by LIfeNews.com and it is legit.
Baloney....the intent was to get the TRUTH.
How can they prove that the videos were edited? I don’t understand why they would even need to edit it.
In reviewing the Texas Penal Code applicable to this set of circumstances, the only sub-section that appears to be remotely relevant is Sec. 37.10 (a)(2): “(a) A person commits an offense if he: makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record.”
The statute allows for an affirmative defense to this sub-section as follows: “(f) It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(5) that the false entry or false information could have no effect on the government’s purpose for requiring the governmental record.”
So, in essence, if there is no effect on the government’s purpose for requiring a driver’s license to gain access to a private entity, then this charge is bogus.
There is a much better argument for charging a college student with a felony for using a false ID to gain access to a bar to drink a beer. At least there the government has an interest in requiring a license as identification.
Here? not so much.
This was just investigative journalism. There is no earthly way these people should have charges against them.
Is Cruz interested in helping out, I wonder, if he still has a Texas license to practice?
So these would then be the only people ever charged with this crime then right?
Looks like the prosecutor may be a boardmember of Planned Parenthood.
Corruption and conflict of interest in the Harris County prosecutor's office?
We should all be praying for Daleiden and Merritt.
Ask God to bind and rebuke (Moloch) that evil spirit that is really at work behind this cult of child sacrifice, these two brave filmmakers have committed a great offense against it by pulling back the veil back and allowing us to see its human face,
This is what spiritual warfare looks like in the flesh,
