Our Eyes on the Inside tell us that the almost constant stream of information coming from the city about Tortillagate - which was dutifully posted on this site yesterday - has steamed some high ranking APD officials (Deputy Chief Castro you know who you are). So much so that they've assigned Captain Dave Depies the task of finding out who we are. (We addressed the issue of Anonymity here.)
We want to remind those on the 5th floor that investigating individuals for political and not criminal reasons is illegal, not to mention a serious misuse of department resources. Freedom of speech, particularly political speech, is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Our founding fathers believed that we should have the absolute right to criticize those that govern. Like it or not, Mayor Marty, APD, the City Council, and every other department fall into that category.
It's this type of stuff that makes us hoppin' mad! You may work for a politician, you may answer to a politician, but you are not his personal geschtapo charged with investigating the Almighty Marty's or your own detractors. That's a breach of public trust, and a waste of your time and our money. We would recommend that instead of trying to hide your dirty laundry... clean it up and start investigating crime.
On that note, if you are one of our readers down at City Hall, be aware that using a city owned computer through a city owned and operated Internet gateway, your activity can be easily traced by the city's IT department. We would recommend that you view the Eye at home on your own computer and through your own Internet gateway, particularly when posting comments that Big Brother (or Little Brother) doesn't want to see.

Uh-oh better be careful, anonymity may be declared a public nusance next. Let's see--a hundred dollar fine for the first offense...
After reading this, all I can say is pass this web site onto everyone you know. It's the ONLY media that City Hall hasn't locked down. They don't want the truth to be told, as did the Soviet Union back in the Fifties. That's why the underground media was created. It was called "Radio Free Europe" for those of us who can still remember. We are living in a media lock-down society, where even the news media won't report what's really going on. They're afraid of retaliation and repercussions and will be cut off by the PIO Eva Braun.
Just hang a swastika in front of 400 Roma NW.

Sorry above post did not work as I thought it would, best to right click on link and choose "open link in new window"
I love the blog. But I think the crooks at city hall are VERY nervous! Finally, someone's got them worried. Believe me, they have lots to be worried about!!
Not to worry, if you didn't run this blog past a red light camera, they'll never find you because the only investigating that the 5th floor can do is checking each other for come stains so their wives won't find out what they've really been doing at work......
