Michigan Judge Finds Attorney In Contempt For Live Streaming Trial

 This Michigan Judge is denying the public’s “Right to Know” and punishing people who are trying to educate the public by Live Streaming the Court Case!

The First Amendment with its Freedom of Speech clause is under attack again this time in Michigan.

What is the Judge trying to Hide?

Why is he so angry that the trial is being Live Streamed?

I think that it is disturbing that the judge is trying to silence freedom of speech and the right of the public to be able to see what is occurring in court.

In this day and age of the internet and streaming live events, ALL Courts that are open to the general public should automatically be live streamed on the internet with the video available for the public to see at any time via youtube facebook and any other video service that is open to the public.

What are your thoughts about this case?

The report below comes from Wayne Dupree’s Vimeo feed, if you are on Vimeo you should follow him there as well as his youtube channel. Show him some love and “Heart” the video.

Support Citizen Journalists so that more Citizen Reporters will Step Up and Report what is happening in their locations around the country.

Michigan Judge Finds Attorney In Contempt For Live Streaming Trial On Facebook! from Wayne Dupree on Vimeo.

Two television news cameras were live streaming the ridiculous trial; of a man cited for warming up his car in the driveway of his Michigan home during subfreezing temperatures, when the judge turned to the defense and asked if they were live streaming.

Attorney Nicholas Somberg acknowledged that his associate sitting behind him was live streaming, but had only done so after asking the local media if it was permissible. But Roseville District Judge Marco Santia was infuriated that Somberg did not fill out a permission slip approved by him and ruled him in contempt of court.

The HartBeat Ensemble – A Community Art Project Worthy of Public Support

 
Our youth need creative outlets to keep them off of the streets which hold many opportunities for danger and trouble. The HartBeat Ensemble is just one of several Community Art Groups that offer the youth of our cities and towns an alternative to just “hanging out”. Most of these community groups are Non-Profits with little funding but lots of potential and dedicated volunteers.

Celebrate our youth and the arts by getting involved in any one of the many Community Groups – over the coming months we will showcasing some of the works and youth that are working in the Hartford area.

You do not always have to give money to show support, your TIME or Skills for many of these groups is actually more valuable. Reach out and support the men and women who are working with our youth to find out how you can be a supportive assistant to find out what their needs are.

For fifty years, Charles Schulz drew the most influential comic strip in the world. Key to the enduring success of Peanuts is the characters’ deep connection to the most poignant elements of human nature: crushing despair and joyful exuberance. These are also the defining emotions of Christian experience: the hopelessness of our fallen existence, and the exaltation of our redemption in Christ. By embodying these existential responses in little children, Schulz magnifies emotional impact and reveals deep truths about the human condition.

DON’T GET RIPPED OFF BY MDC IMPOSTERS

This warning has been given out back in November by me but this warning post from Kevin Brookman is worthy of a share because he actually has the press release in the article that he posted; in addition to his always worthy of a read even if you do not agree with him commentary.

There were 2 Reader comments plus his own reply that should get people asking some questions about our water bills….

Who are the people that are connected to the reasons why our water bills are going up higher than ever while their corporate buddies are getting a sweetheart deal at our expense….

Head on over to We the People Hartford by clicking the “Go to Source” link below & join in on the conversations…. –

 

Full article and community commentary can be found on We the People Hartford Kevin Brookman Editor & Lead Investigative Reporter

 

 

MDC WARNS OF SUSPECTED IMPOSTERS
November 30, 2016
For Immediate Release
HARTFORD — The Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) is advising customers to be cautious of an individual posing as a water company employee in an attempt to enter residential homes.
On Tuesday, November 29, a male suspect claiming to be from the water company attempted to gain access to several Hartford apartments in the vicinity of James Street, telling the residents there was a problem with their water bill. No further details are available at this time.
The MDC urges all residents, especially those who are home during the day, to be alert for imposters by following these tips:
  • MDC field employees wear clothing and drive vehicles clearly marked with the MDC logo.
  • The MDC encourages customers to stay secure within the home while asking for identification from anyone who comes to their door.  All MDC employees have photo identification badges and will gladly display them upon request.  The policy is “No Identification – No Entry” .
  • If someone comes to your door claiming to be from the water company and you do not have a previously scheduled appointment, do not allow access to your home until calling the MDC Command Center at 860-278-7850 ext 3600 to verify their identity.
  • If you have any doubt about the individual’s identity or motives, or authenticity of their credentials, do not allow them entry into your home and call the police.
 
Maybe the next step should be to distribute a flyer of MDC Chairman Bill diBella and the MDC Commissioners to our suburban neighbors. The MDC’s plan to shove Hartford’s debt off onto member towns will cost residents more than any imposters ever could.
