NYPD Debates Civil Liberties Attorney Over Police Spying of Protesters

2007-03-26

The New York Times has revealed that undercover New York City police officers traveled around the country, Canada and Europe to spy on protesters planning to attend the 2004 Republican National Convention. We host a debate with NYPD spokesperson, Paul Browne and civil rights attorney, Jethro Eisenstein. We also speak with one of the hundreds of targets of the NYPD surveillance operation. Joshua Kinberg was arrested at the RNC protests and is the subject of four pages of surveillance records. [rush transcript included]

  • Paul J. Browne, New York City Police Department's Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.
  • Jethro Eisenstein, civil rights attorney. Since 1971, he has been a co-counsel on the Handschu case which resulted in putting limits on how the police carries out political investigations.
  • Joshua Kinberg, arrested at the 2004 RNC protests for his project "Bikes Against Bush." He was monitored by police in the lead-up to the protests.
