People Facing Prosecution in ACORN Scandal Are ... The People Who Exposed Them!?!

James O'Keefe, the man who shot the undercover videos that show ACORN offering to help him get away with smuggling underage girls into the country for prosecution, tax evasion, and a laundry list of other offenses, faces prosecution for illegally taping the ACRON personnel. You read that right; the former ACORN employees caught on tape trying to help someone get away with heinous crimes appear to be getting off free, while the man who is responsible for shutting them down faces five years in jail.

"The Baltimore city state's attorney is considering prosecuting those responsible for taping the ACORN employees on charges that they violated Maryland's wiretap laws.


STATEMENT OF STATE’S ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR BALTIMORE CITY RELATIVE TO THE ALLEGED BALTIMORE ACORN INCIDENT



 


          Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore.  The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video.  Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete.  In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.


 


          If it is determined that the audio portion now being heard on YouTube was illegally obtained, it is also illegal under Maryland Law to willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio.  The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to 5 years.

The video was shot by film maker James O'Keefe, who posed as a pimp who said he was going to run for Congress.  The video also featured a 20 year old woman who posed as a woman named "Kenya." "
