1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: You're going to pick a fight in politics, do it

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: on these issues. Don't threaten or terrorize people. Don't post

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: their private information online. It's not the reasonable way to

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: win your argument. Indiana lawmakers they passed a new law

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: and they make it a crime to dock someone. That's

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: when a person's private information is shared online to threaten

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: or harm them. Governor Brawn signing this bill into law.

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Senate rolled back one point. Simply posting someone's personal info

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: with harmful intent is now a Class A misdemeanor, and

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: if the target is a state lawmaker and the dosing

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: leads to serious injury, private property damage, or encourages a

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: crime against them, it now becomes a level five felony,

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: which is a much more serious charge. So I don't

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: don't docs. I'm on board with that. Don't do that.

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: That's not how you win your argument. But and here's

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: the big butt. This is another instance of lawmakers putting

17
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: themselves above everyone else.

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what really disgusted me about this. And look,

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: I was disgusted like everybody else during the redistricting fight

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: last year when a lot of these lawmakers were swatted

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: and had their home addresses and phone numbers docks, and yes,

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: we should do things to prevent that, but we should

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,639
Speaker 2: do things to prevent that for everyone in this state,

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: not just long. I absolutely hate when these lawmakers put

25
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: themselves above everybody else. So here's where we're at right now.

26
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: You harass a citizen, that's a misdemeanor. You harass a politician,

27
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: that's a felony. No, no, no, that's absolutely wrong. Everything

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: about that is wrong. And that's why I have the

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: biggest problem with this. You either do it for everybody

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: or you do it for nobody. No special treatment for

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: these lawmakers. It drives me absolutely crazy.

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Well, it reminds me of when Bohachik got that DUI

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: and he had constitutional immunity and he was able to

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: hide it for months and months.

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and why.

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Because he's special, because he's a lawmaker, because you pay

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: him to represent you, and that gave him a privilege

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: that you, as an ordinary taxpayer, don't have. Same situation here.

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: Exact same situation here. And what was so frustrating about

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: the Mike Bilhatchick DUI or OWI or whatever it was

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: last year was the fact that even though he had,

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: you know, legislative immunity, under the constitution. He could have

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: come out and said, you know what, Melp, this happened,

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: and I admit it, and I want to be transparent

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: and get this information out there. But he didn't. He

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: sat on it for months. Oh and by the way,

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: other Republican lawmakers in leadership sat on it for months

48
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: until the legislative session was over. A regular person, you

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: think if I were to get an OWI or DWI,

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: I'd be able to sit on it for months hide

51
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: it from my employer. Absolutely not. It would be out

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: there all over the place. So this is just another example.

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: And again, well hotchick could have come out, could have

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: done the right thing and been transparent about it right

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: after it happened and said yep.

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: But he didn't have to. He didn't have to, so

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: he chose not to.

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: So he chose not to. But we got the bodycam

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: footage anyway of him, you know, acting the way he

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: did on that bodycam footage, which was which was completely egregious.

61
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: I'll give you another example. State lawmakers can carry guns

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: inside the state capitol. Sure citizens cannot. And in fact

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: we know that because there was that famous video a

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: couple of years ago where Jim Lucas was showing it

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: off in the state House. Metal detectors for everybody else.

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: This is another perfect example of that. Again, regular citizens, misdemeanor, politician,

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 2: it's a felony.

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Supporters say the law is meant to deter threats and

69
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: intimidation and also protect officials and their families. Yes, I'm

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: completely on board with protecting the officials, and you shouldn't

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: be doxing anybody, putting anybody in danger. But again, this

72
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: is just another example of rules for thee but not

73
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: for me. Well, they're different than you, they're special.

74
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: Well, look, there are other people I'd like to protect too.

75
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: What about police officers? Their law against that, because guess what,

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm more interested in collected protected police officers than I

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: am politicians, more interested in protected firefighters than I am politicians.

78
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: But this should be an all or nothing proposition. You

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: make the law for all the citizens in this state,

80
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: or you don't carve out special exceptions just for politicians.

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: You mean the politicians, the people who make the laws,

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: made a law that protects them, but not you.

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: Shocking.

84
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they say the law aligns with broader efforts to

85
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: address online harassment and safety issues here in Indiana,
