but technically the publicly filed stipulation to dismiss would not have to say anything one way or another about whether or not the dismissal was negotiated in exchange for the county privately forking over any or all of the non-bodycam materials that were also the subject of this litigation:
it was a stupid idea for whoever would be doing it because theyd be risking jail time especially if they shared the footage, and you know this corrupt court would do it
This is a State, not the feds. As others have pointed out, its also an issue unique to Minnesota. Wisconsin gave up the Ethan Ralph body cam footage within 24 hours with no questions asked.
Yeah, Minnesota is pretty strict in its privacy laws.
This has proved time and again to be a net negative on society. States with the heaviest obfuscation of their own behavior have been demonstrably more corrupt than otherwise. Look at this very case for example: seeing how filthy Rekeita’s house is is not only inconsequential to the state of Minnesota but a benefit towards their public relations after Rekeita’s accusations of government conspiracy and they still covered it up.
This is abject retardation. First and foremost amendments to the Constitution were never for restricting the citizenry but to outline what powers the government does have. Anything not explicitly described by a Constitutional Amendment is inherently unconstitutional. To hamstring Americans outside the framework to protect them from government because Jeets might make money from that very government being unable to operate clandestinely is asinine at best and treasonous (colloquially, shut up) at worst.
The footage could have been published at all times simply based on the false statements made by Nick casting doubt on the legality of the process and behavior of officers involved. There is explicit leeway in the privacy statute that allows publication to combat rumors. The issue is that nobody in Minnesota took the steps to make this issue big enough that it required that step. The only people who apparently care that Nick exposed his child to what could have easily been a fatal dose of cocaine are here on KF.
Amendments can be made to any law, I never talked about the constitution, calm down.
Never said they should, only that footage should always be published under Creative Common license that prohibits commercial use.
Letting government decide what is notable enough for public release is, again, retardation of the highest order.
“Congress passing an amendment” is universally about amending the Constitution. Just Because you got caught in your stupidity doesn’t mean I’ll let you move goal posts. Congress has NO power to alter enacted legislation and have to reinitiate the process as a bill (which can be amended but is not statute) if they wish to alter legislation that has already completed the process via ratification or veto.
Not to the extent where it limits Americans as well, which this would do. Making so disclosing acquired government footage cannot be commercialized would destroy what actual journalistic discourse, i.e. men who aren’t reliant on major corporate or governmental backing, exists in this country; the love of the game won’t put food on your table. The closest you could come is to make FOIA requests available only to US citizens, but that really wouldn’t be much of a stop-gap.
Agree on general principle but disagree on the specifics. Anything the government is not empowered to do by the MAIN TEXT of the Constitution is beyond its power. The Amendments are largely to limit those enumerated powers.
He creampied Rekeita, probably.
Also you both talk like and dress like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.
