Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the by-the-book dept.

sudnshok writes "Hasbrouck Heights (NJ) Library Director Michele Reutty is under fire for refusing to give police library circulation records without a subpoena. Her lawyer explained, 'Reutty did the right thing... At no time did Michele Reutty say to any police officer or anybody else that she would not give the information if it was properly requested.' However, borough labor lawyer Ellen Horn, who also represented the library trustees, said Reutty was 'more interested in protecting' her library than helping the police. 'It was an absolute misjudgment of the seriousness of the matter,' Horn said."

    I believe you're on the wrong side of the pond there partner ... I'm gonna bet you mean the BBC or something. Know why I can tell this? Because the sentence you left out of the paragraph you quoted started with "I thought you yanks got rid of all your news shows and replaced them with infotainment years ago.". Canadians do not refer to Americans as yanks -- ever, to the best of my knowledge. Don't drag Canada and the CBC into this, you were addressing either a Brit or an Aussie.

    Welllll, according to the original post:
    Up here in Soviet Canuckistan our state run news on CBC seems allot more balanced then the slhock coming from your Theo-Coporatocracy.

    Call me stupid and uninformed, but "up here", "Canuckistan", and (this is a BIG clue) "CBC" in the original post led me to think Canada and CBC. Glad you corrected me - you're really on the ball today.
