Idaho to pay 250,000 in law violation - Gunnar Ozuna Period 6

"A judge has ordered Idaho to pay nearly $250,000 in legal fees following a lawsuit and ultimate repeal against Idaho’s “ag-gag’ law. The law that outlawed undercover investigations of operations at farms was found to have violated the First and 14th amendments of the U.S. Constitution. In February 2014, Governor “Butch” Otter signed the “ag-gag” bill into law after video in 2012 surfaced showing workers abusing dairy cows at Bettencourt Dairies. The bill allowed for anyone filming undercover at Idaho farms to face jail time if caught. The law was struck down on August 3rd, 2015."                                                                                                                                                                     This is similar to the Food and Drug act passed in 1906. This law required companies to show the entirety of contents in the foods and supplements they were distributing. Since then, big businesses have been searching for loopholes to avoid showing incriminating information, in this case, the abuse of dairy cows by the state of Idaho.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              http://www.kivitv.com/news/judge-orders-idaho-to-pay-250000-in-ag-gag-law-fallout
