Editor Says Police Retaliated Against Her

MINNEAPOLIS (CN) - A woman who runs an online magazine claims Minneapolis harassed her and her son, and searched her home without a warrant, because of her news magazine, which has been critical of police.

...
Terry Yzaguirre runs an online news magazine called "MPLS Mirror," in which, she says, she "has exercised her First Amendment rights to criticize police, including but not limited to Minneapolis Police."

Yzaguirre claims police officers have hassled her in the course of her reporting, and that police in suburban Bloomington tried "illegally" to obtain her daughter's cell phone, and cell phone records.
...
She claims Bloomington police arrested her daughter, Nicole, "in retaliation for her exercise of First Amendment in violation of her First Amendment rights to take her to the Bloomington stationhouse (not the Hennepin County jail), to try to get her phone."

...
"One day later, on December 22, 2011, [defendant Minneapolis police Officer I.] Raichert and John Doe defendant police officers of the MPD spent 1 hour and 20 minutes inside Terry Yzaguirre's home without a warrant, and without any non-police witnesses (having chased a potential witness away under penalty of arresting him if he did not leave), which allowed time sufficient to search computers, copy computer hard-drives, and otherwise interfere with Yzaguirre's media and other First Amendment rights," the complaint states.

1. Rogue pigs did me at midnite, after I busted their scam ticketing operation.

Used the ole' we heard the woman you were beating for fifteen minutes crying routine. I lived alone, and had been asleep since eight. Have heart failure. They made MANY right wing comments about how I lived too well, and would have to sell all I own.

Oh, and leading up to my busting the pigs for conspiracy, I contacted the local paper, and they said, oh, you are just mad you got ticketed. I guess it doesnt rise to the level of news, unless it is the editor.
