From the posted link... O'Keefe and the others face a charge of entering federal property under false pretenses for the purpose of committing a felony, which carries up to 10 years in prison... Charged along with O'Keefe are Robert Flanagan of New Orleans, Joseph Basel of Minnesota and Stan Dai of the Washington, D.C., area... What they will end up being prosecuted for is another matter. In the end, the charges may be plea-bargained down to something less serious. But they definitely stand charged. K.

No, you need a charge to be arrested. The authorities don't just run around arresting people and decide what to charge them with later. That would be like those evildoer countries we invaded. But since you still haven't bothered to read the link in the original post let me help out, no thanks needed: ACORN Buster James O'Keefe's Arrest Shocks Conservatives The four are charged with entering federal property under false pretenses for the purpose of committing a felony, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Authorities say O'Keefe took cell phone camera video of two accomplices who posed as telephone repairmen while the fourth suspect used a listening device in a car a couple of blocks away. An FBI agent's affidavit (click to see PDF) says O'Keefe admitted to federal agents that he was part of the scheme.

Hell I'm not even a para-legal.....but I'm aware enough to know that one can not be arrested without some charges pending.Now in many cases the charges a prosecutor decides to prosecute are often not the same as those charged by the arresting authority.....but in this country one is not subject to arrest without charges being alleged.

truckinslave -> RE: ACORN pimp gets busted! (1/29/2010 10:10:10 PM)
Many times people are "brought in for questioning" without being arrested, aren't they? Hell, I know you're not arrested without the cop infoming you of a "charge"; which is, as youy say, subject to change. Maybe I'm thinking of "formally charged", as in: arraigned. Mostly I just don't trust much of what i read (that and I really hope this kid didn't do something terminally stupid).

If it had been Dan Rather or Mike Wallace 40 years ago y'all would be crying that he's being persecuted.

Lucylastic -> RE: ACORN pimp gets busted! (1/29/2010 10:26:06 PM)

LOL... guess people now have to bail out of jail after being questioned and before being charged? someone needs to read more, dont you, truckin.

If it were only that simple Tazzy :)

You guys are getting lax. Yahoo had this story perma-pinned to the front page headlines for several days.

tazzygirl -> RE: ACORN pimp gets busted! (1/30/2010 5:22:42 AM)
The incident occured on Jan 25th. I started the thread on the 26th. Yeah, real lax, and yahoo posted about it BEFORE it happened? Another one that needs to read a bit more on subjects.

Sanity -> RE: ACORN pimp gets busted! (1/30/2010 6:21:51 AM)
If these aspiring reporters did anything wrong they deserve to be prosecuted. Thats obvious. But what I'm wondering is why does THIS immediately rise to the top of Yahoo news, and why did the networks report on this so loudly and promptly, after the scandalous crimes of Obama's criminal ACORN organization went virtually unreported by these same "news" outlets for weeks.

truckinslave -> RE: ACORN pimp gets busted! (1/30/2010 6:24:25 AM)
That's obvious too.

"You don't do anything illegal. That's Watergate territory. You just don't do that," Beck said. "But besides that, I don't even think you go dressed up. I mean, it's a senator. For the love of Pete, it's a senator."

To the extent that I am sticking up for him ("I hope he didn't do something terminally stupid") I am doing so both because I would hope the same for anyone, and because I think he did some wonderful work exposing ACORN, which is facing serious charges of their own. In multiple venues.
