Jason Talley, of Talley.TV, was arrested at the Keene Superior Court on Friday, 23 September 2011, and charged with ‘common law criminal contempt’. This is the sort of charge that judges and police use as a blanket, catch-all in order to arrest anyone they please.
According to witnesses, he entered the court with a camera with the intent to film a habeas corpus hearing for a fellow freedom advocate now serving over 90 days for ‘obstruction of government administration’, another catch-all charge used to prosecute individuals who’ve harmed no-one.
Talley, as a reporter ‘from the front lines of freedom in the Shire…’, has filmed in several courts without incident. He has covered such victimless cases as THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE VS. PATRICIA SMITH, and THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE VS. ROBERT CONSTANTINE.
The latest report at this writing, 26 September 2011, is that he was arraigned this morning, he pleaded not guilty, and his bail is set at $1000.
