journalist arrested for covering DC taxicab corruption

Reason.tv Journalist Arrested While Reporting a Story
Posted on June 22, 2011, 3:20PM | Nick Gillespie

I regret to announce that Reason.tv producer and journalist Jim
Epstein is being held by US Park Police for video recording an
incident at a District of Columbia Taxicab Commission hearing taking
place at the US Park Police Building in Anacostia Park. Our attorney
is on the scene and reports that Epstein, who was attending the
hearing as part of an upcoming story on plans to introduce a
medallions system to D.C.'s taxi industry, should be released very
shortly.

**Update: Good news. Jim has been released from police custody.

More info as we get it.
