That's interesting because the Society of Professional Journalists which is the longest established union of journalists in this country has awarded Wolf the Journalist of the Year Award and next month will be awarding him the James Madison award. Next the National Lawyers Guild has supported Wolf from the beginning go to my website and their press conference will automatically play for you to see. Next as to the LAW well that’s interesting a point because the California State Shield law does protect internet publication see O'Grady v. Superior Court of Santa Clara County, 139 Cal.App.4th 1423, 79 U.S.P.Q.2d 1398, 44 Cal.Rptr.3d 72 (Cal.App. Dist.6 05/26/2006) Josh Wolf sold this video tape to three of our local television stations for $500 each, i.e. he was not just a spectator but an independent journalist. (he has been doing this for a while) ABC7 our local affiliate did an interesting story on Josh when he discovered the SFPD Police report documents no fire damage of any kind on the cruiser in question. Taking into consideration the Federal Governments sole proposition (from the court transcripts) that they are investigating title 18 USC 844(f) [ARSON] ("someone who threw a firecracker, court record page 111) It looks to me that this entire investigation is a fraud. People it’s a trick to get around the State Shield LAW! As for the Atlanta Motel case your bias is easily discernable, you’re a conservative and all you want to do is make a frivolous point. Sir you are not even trying to tell the truth. The Fed's never invoked that Atlanta Motel case into their legal argument. (If I’m wrong enlighten me) You accuse Josh's liberal friends of allowing this to happen using a flawed jurisdictional analogy. The Fed's give lots of money to tons of other local projects other than the police. What about roads or schools; is there jurisdiction to jail journalists in those areas too? Besides the SFPD cars are owned by San Francisco the feds made contributions to the general fund and some of that money is doled out to the police and some is given to other projects. The question is where does it all end? The state prosecution wants nothing to do with Wolf or his tape or his testimony. Furthermore they dropped the case against a protester involved because of evidence that those police officers drove their car into a crowd and injured protesters. You may have a law degree but do some research on the law of this case before you inject your political conclusions into this matter. You post was not investigative, nor informative. Moreover it was biased from the start. So Josh Wolf is not a journalist?

Josh Wolf is in the slammer, he wrote, because several judges have upheld a federal prosecutor’s demand that he turn over out takes of a street protest he had videotaped. Those judges hailed from the liberal Ninth Circuit which, he noted with a certain wit, “leans so far to the left it might as well lay down.” He taunted Wolf’s progressive supporters – who may wonder how a street protest in San Francisco has turned into a federal case — by telling them that the precedent for federal intrusion into local affairs stems from some case decided by liberal judges in the past.
