Cops Win Against Sun Times
- The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from the Chicago Sun-Times that sought to block a lawsuit from police officers over the newspaper's coverage of a case involving the nephew of Chicago's former mayor.
The justices did not comment Monday in allowing the lawsuit to proceed over whether the newspaper violated the privacy of the officers by publishing identifying information about them from state driver license records. The officers contend that publishing the information violates a federal law intended to protect driver license data.
The article used the information to suggest that the police put together a lineup that made it unlikely that the nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley would be selected. Daley nephew Richard Vanecko eventually pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the 2004 death of David Koschman.
Of course, without the queered line-ups run by the political cabal up north, maybe we wouldn't be seeing this massive upheaval of gold stars of recent days. Not the coppers' faults of course - they were used for a political end, but the media overstepped a lot of boundaries

I jump for joy any time there is a win against the media, especially in this city, but how can the detectives involved be devoid of any responsibility? They were just as involved of the coverup as anyone else. Fuck 'em.
Does this mean we "Mount Greenwood Inbreds"
have the green light to hit back against local media
in retaliation for their willful overstepping of bounds?
"Aww c'mon! You guys can't possibly STILL be sore about THAT, right?
We're on the same side so let's just let bygones be bygones..."
>SMACK!<
The sound of local media's collective jaw being
shattered like glass...

Rule #1:
Destroying Shit-Talkers:
Catch them while their jaw is jacking
and bust that m/fer into pieces.
So much fun when Policemen can punch back
after being compelled for so long to "take it" as a condition
of employment.
The media feel the need to inform the public of everything, as long as it doesn't cast the left in a bad light.
Hopefully the suit bankrupts the SunTimes to a point where they have to shut down.
Now THAT I would like to see. Karma.
Next case.
It isn't just police that suffer this problem. Next house I buy is through a lawyer and a trust. I do not want my name all over the county records.
Why does the media even care about this case. There's no African/American theme involved with it. No flames to fan.
The media oversteps every boundary they do not agree with.
queered line-up? how so?

what cover up? show me one case where an offender in this situation would have been charged. Just one.
Media=scum of the earth, along with lawyers.
Don't usually say it but thanks to FOP for providing the attorneys and pursuing this case for the officers.
If that's the case Lt one N has one helluva case against the Slum Times. He was in their paper for two years and just recently went into hiding! He may need the windfall if he ever decides to cash in.

You can discover anything through a court order.
I think the media has too much power and they must be reminded of their role in this society. Maybe a few treason trials will straighten them out. Only trouble is the left controls the government and the media.
More Fallout from Dean Andrews inability to discern the difference between political cronyism, and "Doing the Right Thing".
The media in the USA is accountable to no one. I'm all for getting the news out but there need to be laws governing peoples privacy and decency.

My house is in a trust...
My phone number is in the book under an alias...
My vehicles and almost everything else goes to a Post Office Box.
No Facebook. No Twitter. Good terms with my neighbors.

When is the officer that got punched going sue London?
the fillers weren't detectives, they were cops, but not detectives
Imagine that, a photo array over a physical line up. Which lunch meat exempt thought of dat. On yeah salami. Good thing he had nothing to do wit dat case. Oh yeah he did. Only the dicks are left holding the bag again of shite. Where Is SC going. How come he has n t been moved. Will he, DW and JS be teaching any How to cover up an investigation classes to the new Sgts or lts. The could fly in Hiroshima from hawaii and Deano from boyztown as special guest speakers. What a bunch of tools. When will the truth be revealed.
Ot: so, because the alderman didn't want a pro police rally to clash with anti police, the pacified, white, would be protesters decided against it. How freaking pathetic. No wonder why society is going to shit. Nobody takes a stand or fight for what's right.
If the Detective's weren't so willing do illegal shit because the Boss tells them to they wouldn't be in the fix they are in now. Easy to blame the Bosses, when all you have to do
is man the fuck up, & tell them No, YOU do it. Got that Jimmy?
Media has been overstepping boundaries since the Tylenol cases

This case is about violation of privacy and privacy laws.
What part of that can't your mind grasp?
Did the media publish Drivers License Info on these people IN the media?
A newspaper columnist who Battered the Mrs?
A TV reporter who drove drunk with his young children in the car?
A TV reporter who was involved in a dope deal involving blackmail due to sexual deeds?
A reporter who was the mistress of a southern Mayor?
ETC, ETC.

True. But unlike an FOIA...you need a very good reason And Proof to get a Real Judge to sign a court order like that

The member's dues pay for all services and benefits from the FOP moron! Did you know that FOP executives get a reimbursement check every year for their annual dues just like the unit reps.

When they think nobody is looking/listening.
