DESCRIPTION:he Bush administration has taken it's assault on the freedom of the press 
 to San Francisco. On August 1st, video journalist Josh Wolf was jailed for 
 refusing to hand over video footage of a 2005 WTO protest to a federal 
 grand jury.\n\nThe incident in question involves damage to an SFPD cruiser, 
 but the federal government is intruding into San Francisco's jurisdiction 
 by using the pretext that the SFPD receives federal funding.\n\nEven more 
 troubling is the precedent this ruling sets: that the government can seize 
 journalists' notes and materials at any time. This would have a chilling 
 effect on the ability of the press to investigate the 
 government.\n\nSupervisor Ross Mirkarimi invites you to participate in a 
 public hearing on a resolution calling for the federal government to 
 respect the First Amendment guarantee of a free press. The hearing will be 
 in the Rules Committee on Thursday, August 10th at 10am in City Hall room 
 263.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/08/10/18295878.php
