Here's an interesting article on CNN about a journalist facing wiretapping charges. Apparently there is a viral video out there of a police officer slamming the head of a handcuffed kid into a cafeteria table. The journalist may potentially get 21 years in prison if found guilty, and this case is a good test for jury nullification in New Hampshire.  While the story itself is interesting, what I want to point out is the reaction and comments to the case made by readers of the story.  Here are two of those responses.

What I would like to point out is that there is such a thing as bad laws.  The law is not perfect, and if we do see bad laws, we need to challenge them and not accept them as 'just the way it is.' If we were to reduce our thinking to accepting the laws as is, then nothing would ever change, and we would be drowning in bad laws. A question that I would ask to those two people above - What would you have said fifty years ago in the age of Jim Crow laws of the South? Would you tell those African Americans, oh too bad you just have to follow the law?
