ACLU Airs ‘De-Occupy Boise’ Plan
The Idaho ACLU says its ongoing lawsuit over the state’s attempts to outlaw the “Occupy Boise” protest vigil from state property across from the state Capitol has turned up a multi-agency law enforcement plan dubbed “Operation De-Occupy Boise.” The group says the plan called for “arrests and detention of protesters, despite that the new state anti-camping statute only authorizes ticketing violators, not arrest.” The state, in legal arguments filed with the federal court, argued against releasing the documents through the discovery process, saying they were subject to a law enforcement privilege, as they “reflect planned operations that the Idaho State Police developed to implement 2012 Idaho laws”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.
