From my weekly Wired column... -Declan http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,44939,00.html Thuggish cops: Police in Key West, Florida, arrested a newspaper editor last week for printing an article that criticized an internal police investigation. The editor of Key West The Newspaper, 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. Cooper's site was offline earlier in the week, but, as usual, the Net community pitched in and mirrored copies of some of his articles that criticized the local cops. A disturbing side note: According to a report in the Miami Herald, the police knew some judges had ruled this law was unconstitutional before they charged Cooper with violating it.
