laying on the lunch counter.

"Covering" for the LE officer is ... kind of a stretch.

On a related front -- IA's Republican dominated statehouse has been at the forefront in "Ag-gag" laws -- repeatedly passing laws aimed at the reporting and recording of "meat industry" practices and abuses. Most of these efforts have been struck down or stayed by the courts -- but they keep trying! All of which is to say that the state is not currently a bastion of a freedom of information or "sunshine" line of thought. So -- prosecuting leakers? Not that far removed from current sentiment.
