Woman ARRESTED For Filming Slaughterhouse from Public Street (VIDEO)







" The United States' first prosecution under so-called ag-gag legislation has begun. Will Potter reports at Green Is The New Red that a Utah woman, Amy Meyer, has been charged under the state's new law prohibiting filming or photographing an agricultural operation, factory farm, slaughterhouse, or the like without permission.

Critical in all this is that Meyer was standing alongside a public street, documenting something occurring in plain view."*

Has the ad-gag law ventured into fascism? A woman filmed an injured cow being moved around while she was standing on a public street, and now she's being prosecuted. Should what she did in any way be considered illegal? And how is the owner of the slaughterhouse involved with pushing the ad-gag law? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
