flaws in the Josh Wolf case

Flaws:
-The local cops and the federal prosecutors are trying to claim that Wolf isn't really a reporter.
There are all sorts of problems with this argument — the first being that the courts have never formally contested Wolf's journalistic credentials. In fact, the local prosecutors admit in legal briefs that they contacted Washington to seek permission to subpoena Wolf — a process that's required whenever journalists face this sort of legal action.
Under California law, even bloggers enjoy the reporter's privilege.

-The Wolf case should never have gone to the federal level in the first place.
The federal agents from the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) and the FBI didn't choose to investigate the case — the San Francisco cops requested assistance. That in itself was odd: why is an assault on an officer a federal affair?
It federalizes law enforcement around demonstrations.

The SFPD is choosing who will prosecute crimes — based on politics, not the law.
