We have been having a healthy discussion on media passes and who should issue them.

Granted, for the most part the only time I need a current I release the county of any liability if I get perfectly stupid and get injured or killed card, is when going behind public safety lines to cover things like hazmat, swat or fires...otherwise, have it or not the cops tend...for the most part, to leave reporters and bloggers pretty much alone.

The no-nos I mean is actually interfering with police officers during an active arrest. This guy has done this several times. For some odd reason the PD that issues for the full county has refused to renew it.

In my view the only time they should be needed is precisely when you take your life into your hands...and believe it or not bloggers had an easier time getting credentials to Comic-con than we did, and we have stupid cards...funny dat, the local AP reporter, who is also a comic geek, refused to jump all them hoops. Not even the city put that many hoops in our way.

That we found very "special."
