I'm not an attorney, thank God, but I do believe there is a difference between being arrested and actually charged....
As far as I know he has only been arrested.

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.

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 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).

nah, I guess I just missed your timely post.

It didn't have near as many caps in it as I expected.

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.

Fox News' Glenn Beck, who made O'Keefe's ACORN expose a national phenomenon by championing the videos, said on his radio show that if the allegations against O'Keefe are true, the young man crossed the line. "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."

Status: offline 		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.
