Sam Dodson was arrested on 4/13 and held without trial for 57 days because he refused to tell the police and the court his name (right to remain silent). He was just released yesterday.
According to the story I heard today in an interview, Dodson refused to accept any of their bail terms (one of the terms being he will not posses a firearm), so eventually he was released without having to sign the bail papers. That is fucking cool!
After his release, he paraded around the jailhouse wearing his orange jumper, waving at the other inmates. At the end of the video you can see him getting a bite to eat in his jumper.
More on the story of his arrest and detainment here:

vairetube57 days is less than 7 years. At least he's free to get over it, and choose his battles next time heh. Looks healthy too.
blankfist^1 day would be 1 day too long to spend time in a cage for exercising your right to a) free speech (arrested for videotaping in a court lobby) and b) to remain silent (didn't give his name).

Would you prefer they starved and flogged him? Maybe that would've made for a more entertaining story for you?
siftbotMoving this video to blankfist's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
garmachiWhoever is operating the camera in this video should be arrested for crappy camerawork.
