No. HTH. Reason - Do you have a legitimate reason to be in there ? Yes, it is my job to report and document the news. No court is going to prosecute.

He was sentenced to the gallows, this was later commuted to twelve months curfew monitored by an electronic device, 120 hours community service and to pay £6 17s 8½d compensation to The State of Israel. So RW isn't completely suffering from keyboard diarrhoea and eagerness to absolve the great patriots and bestest prez ever of one iota of blame...

What’s stopping some of the protestors who went live to say they were reporting on what was happening? No doubt plenty of their footage will lead to arrests/charges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 So, it seems these reporters certainly should be prosecuted. I wonder if someone went back through this forum if the same opinion was given regarding Tommeh and his law-bending 'reportage'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted January 18, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2021 it looks like it's up to goverment who they choose to prosecute (obviously): https://www.thewrap.com/washington-post-journalists-arrested-capitol/ Following the unprecedented and violent events of Wednesday afternoon, a 6 p.m. ET curfew was put into effect in the nation’s capital. Members of the media, per the curfew, were said to be exempt. that sounds like the government understand the role of the media and then there's this: https://theconversation.com/why-the-news-media-may-not-want-to-share-capitol-riot-images-with-the-police-153076 However, it may be the unpublished images that will be of most interest to law enforcement agencies as they track down and arrest as many of the rioters as possible for breaking a range of laws. The agencies may request or demand that news organizations turn over their unpublished material, which would force the media outlets to make uncomfortable choices.
