🚨 California just voted to pass AB 2624 aka “The Stop Nick Shirley Act”:
This bill puts journalists at civil risk for investigating fraud and makes it harder to expose fraud in “immigration support services,” including NGOs, nonprofits and health care facilities that receive hundreds of millions from the state of California each year.
This bill would have made it criminal to expose fake hospices in LA or the Somali “learing center” in Minnesota if they then claim “reasonable fear” and the business owner gives a written demand not to post the video.
Plain and simple, California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating fraud in their communities, as they could be sued for an injunction to remove the video + forced to pay their attorney fees + minimum $4,000 in damages.
The Attorney General's wife, Mia Bonta, created this bill and is now trying to make it law. How is this not a conflict of interest?
California is full of FRAUDSTERS!
@SanLeandroPD@SanLeandroTalk oh, the future is bright. At approximately 2:45 on Friday, May 22nd. Driving past this Honda Odyssey two lovely ladies with cap and gown. Open the door and throw their garbage out in the parking lot outside of the Chili's at bayfair Mall
@Investanswers I was wondering about those in a minor accident or somebody hits an individual cyber cab who's going to make them provide their information or even stop
🚨 JUST IN: California Democrat lawmakers just voted to MOVE FORWARD with the Stop Nick Shirley Act because they are terrified of fraud
They want to CRIMINALIZE investigative journalism against fraud. They're PANICKING!
Rep Carl DeMaio: "That would basically ban Nick Shirley from posting videos exposing fraud in California. AB 6218.19 prohibits an individual from posting a video online if the fraud organization says you can't do that!"
"The fraud organization can then, quote, seek injunctive and declaratory relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. We have got to stop this bill. And I just gave the state assembly members the chance to strike the bill from the record, which basically would kill the bill."
"Democrats in the state assembly voted to keep and protect her bill and advance it on!" @nickshirleyy
@CAgovernor Damn that Trump. Highest Electricity prices. Highest gas tax in the nation? Most expensive insurance, if you can even get it. What's he gonna do next? Impose a pay by mile tax.
HEY wait a sec...
