BOULDER, Colo.—A Boulder municipal judge says police violated the constitutional rights of two anti-Wall Street protesters when they opened their tents to see if people were inside.
Judge Linda Cooke said Thursday that prior Colorado cases show a tent is treated the same as a house with regards to privacy rules.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera ( ), P.J. Jentsch and Katie DeMichele, were ticketed Nov. 21 at the site of the former Occupy Boulder protest for violating the city’s camping laws.
Their attorney is asking that the cases be dismissed. Prosecutors say they plan to appeal the ruling.
