capitol-protester-2013MADISON - Last August, a photographer who uses the nom de camera “Leslie Amsterdam” accidentally bumped into an undercover DOJ Medicaid/Elder Abuse Investigator named Joseph Husar in the course of walking quickly behind somebody who was just arrested by a Capitol police officer in Wisconsin’s Capitol rotunda.

The undercover investigator subsequently reported an “injury” to his left shoulder to his employer and when he returned again to do more spying observing of observers of the Solidarity Sing Along, he pointed out the perpetrator to a Capitol police officer who then wrote out a disorderly civil forfeiture ticket against her.

So what happened?

Today we learn that the case was dismissed.

Quoting from SSWIDTMS, Judge Juan Colás quickly ruled the charge of disorderly conduct baseless and without foundation stating “This doesn’t even rise to the level of probable cause let alone the greater weight of credible evidence that is required as it is the states burden in this case.”

Thanks to our friends at Blue Cheddar for keeping an eye on this one.
