meatbot rated 8 months ago- Design Student arrested for a public project to spray-chalk words on the NYC sidewalks. Police heard about his project ahead of time and arrested him while he was giving an interview on live TV.
A smart guy, although he was assuming the police would be nice about it. The Governmental forces out there are getting so anal. His messages contained nothing of the dissent the government could fear only messages of peace, love, and democracy. So wait... Do you suppose the government is really against that?- Design Student arrested for a public project to spray-chalk words on the NYC sidewalks. Police heard about his project ahead of time and arrested him while he was giving an interview on live TV.

- I'm waiting for the punchline -- "the bike fell off the back of a truck" or somesuch.

- Gotta love the NYPD: "Despite being released 24 hours after his arrest, Kinberg's project was dead: both from fear of further arrest, and because the police kept everything -- bike, laptop and cell phone -- as evidence. It was more than a year before Kinberg got back his cell phone, the chalk-based jet printer and an Apple laptop on which he was still making monthly payments. Police say they still can't locate Kinberg's bicycle, a 7-foot-long extended bike donated to Kinberg by Xtracycle."

- More information has come to light about the arrest of Josh Kinberg, the hacker who made a "dot-matrix bike-printer" to ride through the streets of New York during the RNC in 2004. The oversize bike had a laptop-powered array of chalk-sprayers that could print text messages as it was piloted through the streets around the RNC, as a means of breaking the free-speech embargo that New York cops and the Republican party created through the use of "free speech zones." One of the bike's messages was, "America is a Free Speech Zone." It turns out that Kinberg's arrest wasn't random. Secret NYPD dossiers on RNC protestors have fallen into the hands of reporters, revealing that the NYPD were spending tax-dollars spying on people who opposed the ruling party. Kinberg's bike, laptop and printer were seized by police. The laptop and printer were held for a year. The police "lost" his bicycle. The New York Civil Liberties Union is in court, trying to get all the secret dossiers compiled in connection with the RNC.
