Eerily coincidental timing

Carlos Miller has an exclusive interview with Randall Thomas, a photographer who was arrested on Monday in New York City for filming the FBI building there from across the street:

"During his incarceration, the feds persuaded Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV to sign a search warrant that authorized them to confiscate his camera and memory card, which were not returned to him when he was released six hours later."

We wonder exactly how far away a person has to be from a public building before it's legal to take a picture of it, especially when you don't even have to be physically present to do so these days:

"'It’s crazy how they can arrest me when you can see the same building on Google Maps,' he said."

Following Homeland Security's "logic", why aren't the people in charge of Google Maps in the clink as well?

This situation is starting to get out of hand, and in our minds only reaffirms the necessity of following through with our own complaint in an attempt to force the Feds once and for all to discontinue blatantly breaking the law by repeatedly engaging in this thuggish behavior.

Good work, Carlos.
