ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm no fan of PETA, but it bothers me when those nutjobs, if otherwise law-abiding, can be arrested for filming something while standing in a public space. Don't know and haven't tried to verify if the blogger's take is slanted by cross-checking any other reports of the event, but FWIW: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/utah-woman-prosecuted-for-filming-slaughterhouse-from-public-street't What say ye?

Koko78 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm no fan of PETA, but it bothers me when those nutjobs, if otherwise law-abiding, can be arrested for filming something while standing in a public space.

Couldn't read the article as the site is down for maintenance. However, a law prohibiting filming of a slaughterhouse from a public place (where she has every right to be) seems per se unconstitutional.

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I did a little googling to find other links about the same story. The link I posted above may have been an over-reaction by the blogger. Here are a few different links to the Draper, Utah "ag gag" story: http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2013/05/utah-prosecutors-drop-first-ever-charges-brought-under-ag-gag/ The Utah “ag-gag” law prohibits taking pictures or shooting video on private property without permission of the owner. The blogger in the first link I posted apparently was misinformed about whether the Utah law prevented filming while standing in a public place. http://www.abc4.com/content/news/story/Charges-dropped-in-Ag-Gag-case/FU87ge0R-0uw0Jkwh_8uQw.cspx http://fox13now.com/2013/04/30/charges-dropped-against-woman-accused-of-violating-ag-gag-law/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
