The full story can be found at http://dave.jailedactivist.info
Dave Ridley here…inviting you to join me as I go to jail for videotaping.
I am to enter the Cheshire County jail by 5 p.m. July 6, 2009.
This is my penalty for refusing to turn my camera off in the Keene District Court lobby earlier this year.Rather than do anything complicated I’m just thinking we gather at the jail 3:30 p.m. that day; do whatever you like that is peaceful…and I’ll look forward to seeing some of you six days later!
There could be some sort of minor caravan from Grafton to Keene since that’s where I’m departing from and there are a lot of people here for Burning Porcupine.
What: “Jail social”
Where: Cheshire County Jail 160 River Rd S, Westmoreland, NH 03467
When: 3:30 p.m. Mon, July 6.
Background and discussion:

Ian Freeman of Free Talk Live has reported that Free State Project participant Dave Ridley, the man behind the Ridley Report, has been found guilty of contempt of court regarding his right to record act of civil disobedience. This is the same case which on April 13th, 2009 at his arraignment Sam Dodson along with 6 other activists were arrested on similar charges.
Dave’s originally had been charged with disorderly conduct but that was dropped and he was then charged with contempt of court. It is yet unknown if they made him aware of this or how they could change it after his arraignment for disorderly conduct.
He is to report to jail in two weeks time. More to come.
