Our D.A. Is An Anti-First Amendment Asshole

No surprise, there probably isn't a District Attorney anywhere in these United Snakes who isn't a pin-dicked asshole. (Female D.A.s are just as evil, & doubtless compensating for something, just not a pin-dick.) It's in the job description.

But Carmen Trutanich is just plain stupid, as well as constitutionally unaware.

In 2007, Gheorghiu's problems came to a head with his first adult felony arrest. Responding to Smear's graffiti on buses, L.A. County sheriff's deputies raided his home. A graffiti vandalism conviction resulted in a 40-month suspended prison sentence, three years' probation and about $28,000 in restitution for scrawling on buses.

Gheorghiu remains on probation because he has paid off only about $5,000 of his fines.

Tell us, Carmen, wouldn't it make sense (And comply w/ that pesky First Amendment?) to let the guy sell his art so he can pay off his "fine?"
