Police State Alert

So BART shut down cell service in it's station. Too bad if you were expecting an emergency call.

The Bay Area Rapid Transit District acknowledged Friday that it interrupted cellphone service at some stations earlier this week when activists threatened a civil disturbance.


Don't expect the government to do anything about that. It's not like it's the public airwaves. Not like your first amendment right to free speech doesn't cover what you use to make that speech. Not like BART isn't a public "utility" and therefore "owned" by the very same people they blocked cell access to. Nope. not at all.
