DESCRIPTION

http://mortgagemovies.blogspot.com/2015/07/kingcast-and-mortgage-movies-to-file.htmlSo that which I can do in every other State I've been in, I cannot apparently do in Delaware, nice. At least not on a Constitutionally-protected basis.... is what I am assuming until I read the Decision. The Court is apparently trying to send me down the Common Law path, which one of my cases sustained. Other Courts clearly disagree and sustain a Constitutional challenge.As I said:Rick Jensen doesn't seem to get it but Bill Gunlocke and Nancy Willing do. Fortunately, most Courts these days get it too. Pomykacz v. Borough of W. Wildwood, 438 F. Supp. 2d 504 (2006). In 2006, a federal district court in New Jersey decided the case of Pomykacz v. Borough of W. Wildwood, 438 F. Supp. 2d 504 (2006) · Pomykacz was a self-described “citizen activist” who expressed concern that a suspected romance between the town’s mayor and a police officer were leading to nepotism, conflicts of interest and preferential treatment. These suspicions led Pomykacz to “monitor” the two, which included taking photographs. Eventually she was arrested on charges of stalking, though the charges were downgraded to harassment. Pomykacz ended up filing suit asserting, among other things, that she was arrested in violation of the First Amendment retaliation for her monitoring activities. · On the night of October 7, 2002, on her way to Wildwood, Pomykacz drove past the borough municipal building and observed Officer Ferentz working on renovations while she was on duty. Later that night, after Pomykacz had returned from Wildwood, she photographed Officer Ferentz in the police headquarters. 7 Another police officer and [*508] Mayor Fox were also present in the police station at the time. According to Pomykacz, Mayor Fox came out of the building and began yelling at her. Pomykacz walked home without responding. U.S. District Judge Joseph E. Irenas noted, Pomykacz has put forth sufficient evidence that she was a concerned citizen who at times spoke her mind to Borough [*513] officials and other citizens about her concerns regarding the official conduct of the police department and the mayor. Such speech is clearly protected by the First Amendment. 14 See Mills v. Alabama, 384 U.S. 214, 218, 86 S. Ct. 1434, 16 L. Ed. 2d 484 (1966) HN15o to the description of this Headnote.("a major purpose of [the First] Amendment was to protect the free discussion of governmental affairs."); Roth v. United States, 354 U.S. 476, 484, 77 S. Ct. 1304, 1 L. Ed. 2d 1498 (1957) ("The protection given speech and press was fashioned to assure unfettered interchange of ideas for the bringing about of political and social changes desired by the people.").

THE SHATTERED FIRST AMENDMENT LEGACY OF JUDGE ROBERT B. YOUNG:INTELLECTUALLY DISINGENUOUS, SHOWING CULTURAL HEGEMONY, SUPPORTING RACISM AND OTHER CONDUCT INIMICAL TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND FREE PRESS

16 July Update:Boom! -- An independent journalist in Georgia got $200K when they stopped her cameras, proving, ipso facto, that Georgia leads Delaware on this crucial issue. I told those bastards a long time ago we are going to SCOTUS for what they did to me.Let it be known that Georgia and Alabama provide greater Constitutional protections to independent journos as opposed to Delaware and its Courts.

KingCast v. McKenna vis a vis Tisdale v. Gravitt, 51 F. Supp. 3d 1378 (2014) --- $200K Settlement, ahem.Tisdale v. Gravitt, 51 F. Supp. 3d 1378 (2014)

As an initial matter, the Court agrees that Plaintiff has a First Amendment interest in filming public officials at a public meeting.Smith v. City of Cumming, 212 F.3d 1332, 1333 (11th Cir. 2000) ("The First Amendment protects the right to gather information about what public officials do on public property, and specifically, a right to record matters of public interest."). Prohibiting Plaintiff from video recording the meetingeven while permitting her to attend the meeting, take notes, or make audio recordingsimpacted how she was able to obtain access to and present information about the City Council and its proceedings. SeeBlackston v. State of Ala., 30 F.3d 117, 120 (11th Cir. 1994).

And to think I offered to settle my case for a paltry $12,500 and they rejected it! They are running around acting as if I don't know what I'm talking about when I've won several First Amendment Jury trials for Pete's sake. Judge Robert B. Young, in dismissing my Free Press lawsuit, in sum:

1. Failed to convert my case to Summary Judgment even though there were Admissions made by Defendants' Dispositive Motions and substantial information and an offer of proof on an SD video card was submitted by me. I had also shot Defendants' arguments about my Kelly Ayotte case full of lead because now that Ayotte is an elected official -- i.e. a United States Senator as opposed to a backwoods country-assed Recorder of Deeds mind you[footnoteRef:-1] -- I run video of her at will, in her offices and in any public space, and that's a fact, jack. So the Court didn't want any of THAT information in the Record so it claimed to have ruled on the Pleadings and then the Court tried to send my offer of proof SD video card of me running video in another office back to me in the mail, so I sent it right back to the Court Wednesday. To hell with that: I will not have him whitewashing the record just because an unsavory Negro journo is ruffling feathers. SeeCommonwealth Constr. Co. v. Red Clay Consol. Sch. Dist,2010 Del. Super. LEXIS 489 (2010). [-1: See Appendix A.]

On a motion for judgment on the pleadings, if matters outside the pleadings are presented and not excluded, the motion is converted to a motion for summary judgment and is disposed of as one for summary judgment under Rule 56. 3 When such materials are presented the Court must give all parties a reasonable [*5] opportunity to present all pertinent material needed for a motion for summary judgment.

2. Failed to address the Advisory Opinion by the Attorney General who wrote, in a 2011 Advisory Opinion:http://tinyurl.com/pgao5uj

But in 2011, when everyone has a cell phone, and most cell phones have camera, even video, capability, that time has arrived. To attempt to ban recording is as pointless as trying to prevent citizens from taking notes.

CONCLUSION The DOJ should advise its client public bodies that to outright prohibit any recording of public meetings is highly risky. The law is evolving in a more permissive direction.To which I ask, why is Judge Young (and the Defendants) movingbackwards?Perhaps SCOTUS will help address this in a year or two.

3. Failed to address what is clearly my strongest case --Pomykacz v. Borough of W. Wildwood,438 F. Supp. 2d 504(2006).Pomykacz was a self-described citizen activist who expressed concern that a suspected romance between the towns mayor and a police officer were leading to nepotism, conflicts of interest and preferential treatment. These suspicions led Pomykacz to monitor the two, which included taking photographs. Eventually she was arrested on charges of stalking, though the charges were downgraded to harassment. Pomykacz ended up filing suit asserting, among other things, that she was arrested in violation of the First Amendment retaliation for her monitoring activities.U.S. District Judge Joseph E. Irenas noted,

Pomykaczhas put forth sufficient evidence that she was a concerned citizen who at times spoke her mind toBorough[*513] officials and other citizens about her concerns regarding the official conduct of the police department and the mayor. Such speech is clearly protected by theFirst Amendment.14SeeMills v. Alabama,384 U.S. 214, 218, 86 S. Ct. 1434, 16 L. Ed. 2d 484 (1966)HN15("a major purpose of [the First] Amendment was to protect the free discussion of governmental affairs.");Roth v. United States,354 U.S. 476, 484, 77 S. Ct. 1304, 1 L. Ed. 2d 1498 (1957)("The protection given speech and press was fashioned to assure unfettered interchange of ideas for the bringing about of political and social changes desired by the people.").Again, Plaintiffs Fn5 to his Reply Memorandum in Support of Reconsideration clearly notes that if it is illegal to arrest Pomykaczit is illegal to threaten to arrest Pomykacz. The same goes for Plaintiff, Apples to Apples.In fact, not only did the Court ignore this case, the Defendants failed to address it as well. Like, what they thought I wouldn't catch it or something? It's a Third Circuit case (NJ) and the fact pattern is clearly most analogous to mine, but even much more exaggerated as she took pictures of these people at all times of day, repeatedly. I just wanted to ask a couple of questions of two high-ranking government officials and run some B-roll footage of Candidate La Mar Gunn pulling up fraudulent documents on the County fiche machines. This is simple stuff, folks. They are not compelled toanswermy questions but they are compelled to let me run the B-Roll footage unless I am disrupting official business, which I would not be doing.What I am doing, is being a pesky nigger on the Delaware Plantation and the Defendants and the Court have made that more than clear. I will however, continue to be that pesky nigger all the way to SCOTUS. Some Rights they cannot take away.4. He then lied about my next strongest case by stating that it was not decided on First Amendment Grounds, but that, too was a lie because in deciding it on Fourth Amendment grounds the court clearly contemplated Mr. Iacobucci's First Amendment Right to be a journalist.TheIacobucciCourt gets it:This case involves a small-town journalist, a small-town police officer,and rights as grand as the Constitution itself.

See alsoIacobucci v. Boulter, 1997 U.S. Dist. Lexis 7010, No. CIV.A. 94-10531 (D.Mass, Mar. 26, 1997) (unpublished opinion) (finding that an independent reporter has a protected right under the First Amendment and state law to videotape public meetings.

FromIacobucci:

In the next decade, the SJC narrowed this definition of disorderly conduct to encompass only activities not implicating the lawful exercise of a First Amendment right. .And

Boulter's repeated demands that Iacobucci cease recording do not change the disorderly conduct calculus. A police officer is not a law unto himself; he cannot give an order that has no colorable legal basis and then arrest a person who defies it. So it is here: because Iacobucci's activities were peaceful, not performed in derogation of any law, and done in the exercise of his First Amendment rights, Boulter lacked the authority to stop them.Idat 678.5. Downplayed all of my professional background as stated in my Complaint in favor of writing that Plaintiff holds himself out to be a type of guerrilla-style journalist. No Your Honor, if you were only going off of my Complaint you know exactly how I project myself: As a trained journalist and former escrow attorney who has made millions for the banks that Defendant McKenna protects in her registry of Deeds. Complaint Para 2 reads:

Plaintiff is a former daily news reporter and escrow attorney who has closed several dozen commercial real estate purchases and refinances. He as successfully tried several First Amendment Jury Trial and has operated several politically and legally-charged online journals over the past decade, most notably Chris Kings First Amendment Page and Mortgage Movies Journal. He has millions of website and movie hits, thousands of followers and his work has appeared in alternative and major press.6. Ignored two key issues in my Motion for Reconsideration after Commissioner Andrea Freud put the screws to me in a Hearing on my Motion to Compel vis a vis Defendants' Motion for Protective Order.First, he said that the Court has discretion per Rule 155 to deny me the right to run video in Court. But as I made clear and as the forthcoming transcript will show, Freud did not exercise discretion, she said that the Rule did not apply to Trial Courts, which was another lie. And, further, if she was going to exercise discretion, why exercise it to prevent video from someone like me who is a trained professional journalist and mortgage industry professional? Well I guess I've answered my own question right there: She and Judge Young are not in the business of dispensing Justice, they are in the business of protecting the banks and these Defendants.Second, he ignored my query about the fact that my image was posted in the court building as if I were a person of interest or something. I had written:

I. Background: It was Completely Inappropriate to Have Plaintiffs Image Scattered Throughout the 414 Federal Street Building as if he Were a Person of Interest.Plaintiff is aware that there was at least one meeting with security about him, and he is further aware that his image was posted throughout the building. Plaintiff carries a Canon but he is not some sort of dangerous black man who should be on a wanted poster. He is a mortgage industry professional who has worked for major and small press. He is the new face of journalism in the Modern Era, much as he was in 1998 when he advised the Court of his right to run video in a Courtroom, which obviously worked or you wouldnt be seeing this today:.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVNVyijeQKU
