Blackmoor Vituperative

Some local news I think is interesting. A pity that not everyone has the courage and intelligence of this young man.

Tobey’s attorneys argue in court papers that the TSA agents and airport police “humiliated and punished him in direct retaliation for his protected act of peaceful protest, detaining and arresting him without probable cause, repeatedly searching his belongings, seizing and discarding certain of his personal effects.”

The lawsuit alleges false imprisonment, malicious prosecution and violations of Tobey’s rights under the First, Fourth, Fifth and 14th amendments. It seeks $250,000 in compensatory damages, legal fees and additional training for TSA employees.
