IMG_0485

Last Saturday, for the second year in a row, I took part in a panel on the role of "New Media" for the Connecticut Film Festival.

From musicians and animators, to individuals involved in broadcast media and journalism, hosted by Fox61 News Reporter and UCONN Journalism Professor Rick Hancock, the roundtable discussion that focused on the expanding role of new technology with today's media.

All in all, as was the case last year, the conversation was insightful mainly because it's rare for someone in my field to discuss technology with people who are outside of my particular field.

Here's a list of the panelists (besides yours truly):

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.
