Photograph Seizure
I read with shock and anger the July 5 account of the grand jury investigation of San Francisco photographer Jock Sturges (“Photo Lab Sets Off FBI Probe”). That the police can forcibly enter the home of a citizen, search and seize his possessions including his means of livelihood and then hold them for months without so much as filing charges is a chilling thought.
That this power has now been used against an artist over an opinion of what constitutes pornography is outrageous.
