Police sue for bloggers name
Blogs are for tattling. Yes, you can get more creative, politically correct and all that junk. But let’s be honest here; blogs are for tattling on people that annoy you. Which is exactly what the MPD Enforcer 2.0 blog did in Tennessee.
Well, needless to say the Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin was not happy at being named in the blog, much less with the other corruption being exposed. So he did the ever-so-trendy thing and sued AOL to find out the name of the anonymous bloggers. Oh yeah-and he did it on taxpayer dollars too.
AOL has vowed to fight it. The blog has hired lawyers. ACLU is “closely watching this development.” All I can hope for is our right to free speech, reporting on a corrupt government AND our right to privacy is preserved.
