DistrictCourtOfGuam

By Jeff Marchesseault

GUAM - Now that Guam Attorney General Alicia Limtiaco has asked the U.S. District Court of Guam to dismiss Jim Adkins' $3 million first amendment lawsuit against GovGuam over technicalities, the federal court faces a constitutional challenge. Police allegedly arrested Adkins and took his camera for snapping photos of an accident while seated in his car on a public road and for arguing at the scene of the accident. Now the federal court must weigh procedure against rights to free speech and redress of grievances.

Read the Pacific Daily News story, "AG: Photos not free speech: Motion argues Adkins allegations shouldn't be considered", December 29, 2009.

Although I can sympathize with those that suggest that this suit may be unjust,
I vehemently oppose the idea that a person's first amendment rights are merely a
technicality.
