Instead of posting this weekend, I'm taking time to clean up the harddrive and make some minor upgrades to the site as well as my computer. Simply put, I have need to archive the videos on my drives and free up space for new material and as readers of this site know, archiving takes a great deal of time.
I want to take a moment to thank those who have emailed tips and information in Danbury-related items. A popular question I get regards advertising on HatCityBLOG and I'm working with blogads to add advertising capabilities to the site as well as some other goodies that I think you'll like.
As HatCityBLOG approaches it's two year anniversary, I'm going to do all my best to make this site one of the best local blogs in the country and looking at all the feedback, it seems like people across the country are really taking notice and like what they see.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
Well, it's that time again.
