Police arrest newspaper editor for criticizing Florida cops
by Declan McCullagh 30 Jun '01

30 Jun '01

Police in Key West, Flordia have arrested a newspaper editor for printing an article that criticized an internal police investigation, according to an Associated Press report. This brutish action by police and prosecutors should be widely denounced. As of this afternoon, the Key West newspaper's site at kwest.com was still up (I read what appears to be one of the articles in question at http://kwest.net/~kwtn/local_news/01-06-15-KWTN-FDLE_Investigating_Police_I…) But while the server is still alive -- it responds to ping requests -- connections to port 80 are now refused. Unfortunately, the article is no longer in my cache. It looks like the editor, Dennis Cooper, is being prosecuted for allegedly violating a state law. Under Florida law, it's a crime to disclose information about a police investigation -- even if you're the person who had filed a complaint alleging police wrongdoing, as Cooper seems to have done. You can find contact information for Key West officials here: http://www.keywestcity.com/directory.html http://www.keywestcity.com/depts/police/policetelephone.html I've copied the mayor, the chief of police, and other officials. If they would care to reply, I would be happy to extend them the usual courtesy of distributing their response unedited. If anyone puts up a mirror site with the article, please let me know. And I urge you to write to the city officials copied above. (BTW I have verified that the below article did run on the AP wire.) -Declan ---
