The charge was "impeding pedestrian traffic", and the charges were dismissed by the judge after a police officer failed to show up for court, but in effect, the police arrested her for failing to show ID upon request, ostensibly as part of a security sweep in preparation for an appearance by Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. http://michigancitizen.com/default.asp?sourceid=&smenu=1&twindow=&mad=&sdetail=1925&wpage=1&skeyword=&sidate=&ccat=&ccatm=&restate=&restatus=&reoption=&retype=&repmin=&repmax=&rebed=&rebath=&subname= Sincerely, Anonymous _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
