Community Courty Watch demonstration Wednesday, May 17 at 1 p.m.
Tell the police no more intimidation!
No more illegal search and seizures!
In August 2004, Patrick Thompson and Martell Miller were charged with Class X felony eavesdropping.
A grassroots movement rallied to put a new State's Attorney into office, Julia Reitz, who made this a campaign issue and dropped the eavesdropping charges when she entered office.
Yet 3 individuals have recently come to Community Court Watch with allegations that police have threatened them with Class X felony eavesdropping and have confiscated their personal property.
This on Julia Reitz's watch.
Police know that the Class X felony eavesdropping charges are bogus.
These threats are being used to justify illegal search and seizure.
They are only enforced on those who monitor police behavior.
It has been two years since Urbana citizens were promised a Police Review Board.
Court Watch demands to see the formation of an independent oversight board.
We are also pursuing a Congressional bill to protect cop watch videotaping and recording.
Peace, BD |

I just want to say I think this is vital work and I support it wholeheartedly. Unfortunately I won't be in town for this one, but keep up the good work! I'll attend again as soon as I can. |

You state, "Police know that the Class X felony eavesdropping charges are bogus.
These threats are being used to justify illegal search and seizure.
They are only enforced on those who monitor police behavior."
And you know this how? And if so, why haven't any civil rights violations cases been filed in federal court? What cases are currently pending before Reitz? Have, or are, any officers being investigated for any violations or misconduct? Before ridiculing my questions I challenge you to first address these very simple questions otherwise it's obvious what this is all about. |
