There was an interesting twist to freedom of speech
in today's Chron. The San Francisco cops are being
sued for videotaping an anti-war rally. The claim
is that if a video camera is running, it takes away
the speakers *anonymity* and thus becomes a denial of
her *freedom of speech*!
This case is so interesting on so many levels, I am
still pondering the claim. Thoughts?
