Bumping into WI DOJ investigator during 2013 Capitol Crackdown led to disorderly ticket (VIDEO)

Bumping into WI DOJ investigator during 2013 Capitol Crackdown led to disorderly ticket for photographer. Today: CASE DISMISSED

This is what it looks like to use a police force to harass politically engaged people like a photographer who took the best photographs of the arrests suffered during last summer’s crackdown on the Wisconsin Solidarity Sing Along.

Watch the court video but be aware that the stupid is strong within and you may be at great risk of applying head to desk.

Ultimately this case was dismissed.
Quoting from SSWIDTMS:
Judge Juan Colás quickly ruled the charge of disorderly conduct baseless and without foundation stating “This doesn’t even rise to the level of probable cause let alone the greater weight of credible evidence that is required as it is the states burden in this case.”

Are there no actual criminals in all of Wisconsin to pursue?

Must the state spend its time PURSUING PEOPLE WHO ACCIDENTALLY BUMP?

1. This is called intimidation - it's nothing more - and is typical of the Walker administration.

2. Also with the totality of the bogus charges it's a huge waste of taxpayers $$

There's a lot of time, effort and money that goes into all these so called "investigations" & court proceedings.

Wanker & cronies have no idea how to really govern.

3. So, will Wisconsinites finally not believe a single word that comes out of a Republican politician's

clap-trap? Will they finally see the light and ignore Koch Bros paid for lying ads, and understand that Democrats are their best bet for a stronger Wisconsin?

4. Well, who didn't get bumped

by Leslie and all of the other photographers and witnesses during the arrests? We're just not all such babies that we have to press charges as a result.

edited to add that we did get some really good information from that little hearing, though. It could help with some upcoming cases.
