Bad news for fans of the ever-encroaching American police state, wethinks

Good news for Ogden civil libertarians this morning, as both the Standard-Examiner and Salt Lake Tribune report that "[t]he American Civil Liberties Union and a local law firm Tuesday filed a class action petition under Utah’s Post Conviction Remedies Act, requesting that the state throw out all convictions of individuals charged with violating the Ogden gang injunction in light of the Utah Supreme Court’s decision last year dissolving the injunction":

• ACLU files to block all Ogden gang injunction convictions
• ACLU wants convictions under Utah anti-gang injunction thrown out

Bad news for fans of the ever-encroaching American Police State, wethinks.
