I don't think there is enough information here for any sort of discussion. The writer does not make any attempt to remain unbiased, attacking the validity of the law and spontaniously jumping to subjects like the Patriot Act in an attempt to justify his/her outrage. This is not surprising considering the source of the information, but it indicates to me too much of a slant to decide anything at this point.
The Critical Art Ensemble does not try to hide their opposition to the current administration, and it looks like one of their members decided that they could break the law just because they did not agree with it. Well I say too bad; you can criticise all you want but you still have to obey the laws. Besides, it is not up to those enforcing the law to decide if they want to prosecute violations they find.
As ARTelevision said, it is up to the legal system to decide on the constitutionality of the laws, the validity of the method of evidence gathering, and the guilt of those charged. Propaganda about his innocence will only stand in the way of that.
