Private land owners should be able to limit and control behavior on their land. If you disagree with the house rules, lease the house.

I can not walk into a restaurant and film how they make my favorite dish, the secret recipe for KFC chicken, or the Micron R&D lab.

If an employee or guest of a dairy notice animal abuse, there are existing laws including whistle-blower protections to elevate and resolve these violations. We do not need more laws.

Mooo!

I don’t see where the ALDF has legal standing to sue in this case.

ALDF has about 6million dollars “in the bank”. Their CEO gets paid 133000 a year (year 2013). They receive 8million a year in dough. That can buy a lot of attorney time.

From a grammar police for things that matter – pretty sure Equal Protection Clause would be capitalized as there is only one.

Hmmm….so hi-tech employers like Micron and HP ban employees from taking pictures/video on their premises. This is because of fears about trade secrets being compromised rather than covering up possible crimes. But, I guess this means a person can record if a crime is being committed at those businesses as well and therefore such rules can be violated in that instance based on this ruling.

And how much money was spent on this law, both before and after?

Governor Butch,

Why is it so difficult to find a steak that isn’t from a eight y.o. tapped out dairy cow?

I thought this was Idaho Butch. How about a law against tired old dairy cows being sold as fresh tender steaks.

A most welcome decision for freedom of information, the press and speech. It can be hoped that the Legislature and Governor can learn a lesson of basic Constitutional rights from this; but. I doubt that the Constitution trumps monied interests in their books.
