Good news out of NC! Thanks, @vegnews! "A federal judge recently struck down a North Carolina 'ag-gag' law for violating the First Amendment. US District Court Judge Thomas Schroeder said in his 73-page ruling that certain provisions under the state’s Property Protection Act “fail to pass muster under the First Amendment.” The law—which was passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in 2015—protected farmers by criminalizing undercover investigations on factory farms by punishing unauthorized individuals who film or take photographs on non-public business property with fines of up to $5,000 or jail time."
