Activist Charged With Illegally Streaming Md. Congressional Staffers’ Meeting On Facebook Live

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — A college student at Salisbury University was charged last week with illegally streaming a Facebook Live at a meeting with a congressional staffer for Rep. Andy Harris, the state prosecutor’s office said Thursday.

Jake Burdett, 20, an advocate for the group Maryland Marijuana Justice, participated in a rally in front of the Salisbury Office for Rep. Harris in October 2018

When a congressional staffer of Harris’ office offered to meet the group, Burdett and a few others agreed to meet with the staffer in his office, which could only seat a few people, the state prosecutor’s office says.

When staff members noticed the group on their phones, they notified them they were not allowed to record in the office because of office policy.

Burdett, however, recorded the entire meeting, streaming it on Facebook Live, without the consent of the congressional staffer who conducted the meeting.

Joe, why in the hell isn't this blowing up locally? Local law enforcement should start watching him and his band of commie losers very closely. Go read his twitter page, scary stuff, yet local dems actually voted for him.

Jared Schablein and Jake Burdett along with Semus Ben, Jamaad Gould, Michele Gregory and Josh Hastings think they are the future Rock Stars of the Democrat Party. As a matter of fact they aren't active in the Dems they have started their local chapter of "Progressives" and hold "Leadership" cough, cough, positions with the Progressive Party.

Unfortunately for them they are not Rock Stars they are Liberal Douche Bags.

Those Democrat Socialists are some nasty people who are "Progressives" and their mission is the follow, stalk and harass Republican candidates for office. They are nasty and the worst kind. Ironically they are all Social Justice Warriors and members of Black Lives Matter.

I disagree with you Jake, and the fact is you were recording his staff without their permission. In fact they told you NOT to.
