Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
Julian has a good write-up of this weekend’s dust-up between the DC libertarian crowd and the DC Park Police. My friend Brooke got arrested because she had the nerve to ask a police officer to explain himself, which makes her guilty of “interfering with an agency function.”
The park police have yet to drop the charges, and seem undeterred by the impending PR fiasco. We’ll all be doing our best to make them look at stupid as possible in the meantime.
