No, no, no, no...
If he knows that the police had NO RIGHT to do this, he is FAILING as a citizen, to speak out and sue the b-stards! The police powers will only continue to encroach upon the citizens, when we turn a blind eye, cause controversy, earn a buck, and move on. He didn't stand up to the police at ALL! WALKING AWAY would have been standing up. Filing a complaint would have been standing up. Suing the police would be standing up! He is as complicit as the police in the loss of his own freedoms, because he refuses to take a stand.
Do not think for one minute that I support this reporter. As an American, I am ashamed that he refuses to follow this through, until the end.

You know, you have a point. If we all made a really big fuss instead of just cooperating with these illegal requests, the cops would get a clue and leave us alone unless they were legally entitled to bug us.
I think he should sue them, just to make an example out of them.
G'nite, all. It's been fun but I have to turn in! Thanks for the stimulating debate!
