DESCRIPTION:Brent Adams, community activist and drummer, goes to trial before "Bad 
 News" Baskett for "Unreasonably Disturbing Noise"--a law used to clear away 
 street performers downtown.\n\nAdams reports Officer Winston ticketed him 
 without warning apparently on complaint of the Penrose and Atack law firm, 
 whose officers are above Borders Bookstore on the corner of  Soquel and 
 Pacific in the middle of the afternoon.\n\nWinston gave Adams no 
 opportunity to play more quietly, Adams says.   When Adams addressed a 
 crowd of folks listening on the issue, Winston decided to ticket him, 
 punishing him for his critique of the law and police procedure.\n\nAdams 
 has a previous history of activism and has given many interviews--search 
 for "Brent Adams" at http://www.huffsantacruz.org/brb-descriptions.html.  
 \n\nAdams gave a recent interview of this particular incident, which I hope 
 to direct people to in the near future.\n\nThe local downtown Drum 
 Circle--formerly adjacent to the Farmer's Market for a decade was driven 
 away by police from that location and adjacent parking lots as well as a 
 newer location across from CVS Pharmacy.  \n\nAnother case in Baskett's 
 court against homeless activists Robert "Blindbear" Facer and me for 
 singing "Downtown" with homeless lyrics in front of the Bookshop Santa Cruz 
 during the day can be found at 
 http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/09/11/18658424.php.  \n\nBaskett's 
 decision upholding "the heckler's veto" in that case is under appeal.\n
