From The Yes Men, September 24, 2009:
NYPD abuse of authority big factor in arrest
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 24, 2009
“Balls Across America” direct-action campaign launched
Andy Bichlbaum, co-founder of activist group the Yes Men, emerged after 26 hours in New York City’s central lockup with all charges against him dismissed.[1]
“The judge just laughed,” said Bichlbaum. “The police had a less well-developed sense of humor – and, it turned out, much less regard for the law. But all in all, I’m ecstatic that they arrested me.”
