NEW YORK (AP) - Saying the Constitution does not
recognize guilty by association, a federal judge ruled Monday that hundreds of
protesters were arrested without probable cause during the 2004 Republican
National Convention in New York.
U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan said in a written
decision that "undisputed fact" included a video of a march in lower
Manhattan showing Ware Resisters League marchers were trying to comply with
police instructions when officers abruptly withdrew consent for the rally and
made mass arrests without giving anyone a realistic chance to leave the scene.
