Power is never taken, it is always given....

For those that don't know,
I-Witness Video was remarkably successful in exposing police misconduct
and outright perjury by police during the 2004 RNC. Out of 1800 arrests,
at least 400 were overturned based solely on video evidence which
contradicted sworn statements which were fabricated by police officers.
It seems that the house arrest we are now under and the possible threat of
the seizure of our computers and video cameras is a result of the 2004
success.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://iwitnessvideo.info/blog/index.html"><P>We are asking the public to contact the office of St. Paul Mayor Chris

detention of media activists and reporters.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C52633D4-B931-40AC-9EAF-4DADA63C2657/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
