Two lawyers, Michael T. Risher of the ACLU of Northern California, and Eugene Volokh, professor of law at UCLA, had different opinions as to the legality of BART's action.

Risher, ACLU of Northern California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our biggest concern is that we don't think the government should be shutting down an entire communications system to prevent a political protest. And certainly if they're going to be in a position to do that, there needs to be a policy that states that will only happen in the most extraordinary circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all have the right under the First Amendment and the California Constitution to speak out and to demonstrate in public places. We also have the right to assemble, to protest government action. When we have government shutting down a communications network to prevent assembly, to prevent protest, to prevent criticism of the government, that really goes to the core of the First Amendment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, the First Amendment doesn't protect the right of people to disrupt train service, and the government may impose reasonable restrictions on protest. But they can't simply shut down a park because they don't want an unpopular group to come protest there; they shouldn't be shutting down a communications network just because they don't like what's being said on it. That's contrary to the First Amendment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Professor Eugene Volokh of UCLA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the federal constitution, based on press accounts of what the facts are, it seems to be that BART was acting within its constitutional power. It doesn't mean it’s a good idea… but the important thing is that BART was turning off cell phone hardware that was on its property that it either owned or had control over. That's very different from the government shutting down private networks or interfering with communications on private property or for that matter on streets and parks, which are treated similar to private property in this respect under the First Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we're talking about government property, government transportation networks, which the U.S. Supreme Court has said are non-public forums under the First Amendment, the government as owner of the property has quite broad authority to restrict a wide range of communication on that property. The only requirement is that the restriction be reasonable and viewpoint neutral, and these are generally requirements not hard to satisfy and would be satisfied in this case. Again there's a very big difference between them acting on its own property…versus on private property. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To give one example, at UCLA Law School, we have provided free wireless to students, but we turn it off in classrooms because we're afraid students will get distracted by it. Likewise, it seems to me that BART can say we're all about providing convenience and reliability to our riders, we've added the telephone network for the sake of more convenience for riders, now it looks like this network will be a source of inconvenience, not just because there will be a political protest but as I understand it, the expected protest would have involved illegal blocking of trains and disruption of service. So in order to continue providing maximum convenience and reliability, we're going to temporarily shut down the cell phone hardware that we had no obligation to provide in the first place. As for the California constitutional rule, that's more unsettled, though I suspect California courts would reach a similar result. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Michael T. Risher, ACLU of Northern California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't have here BART just keeping access off in particular areas like a classroom. We have it responding to a call for protest by shutting down a network. And I think that raises very different censorship issues than having content-neutral areas where you have service and areas where you don't. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Supreme Court has held that a train station is an appropriate place for non disruptive protest. Now non-disruptive might be key here, but the fact that it's the government equipment, the governments' property doesn't really convince me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government doesn't have to build a park, but once it does so, it has to allow demonstrations there, and certainly it can't lock gates to the park when an unpopular group shows up to protest, simply because a government doesn't like its message. So I think this is new territory, and applying the old concepts can be difficult, but there's no question that what BART did affected the communication ability of thousands and thousands of customers as well as the ability of people to organize a political protest. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Also on Forum, Lynette Sweet, a BART board director, said (or complained really) that the BART board was not involved in the decision to shut down phone access. She said the board was informed at the end of a board meeting that there was a simultaneous press conference going on regarding security measures for the night's protests. \"The Item wasn't on agenda,\" she said, \"so it wasn't a topic we could even discuss among ourselves because of the Brown Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm still just a little concerned that the board of directors, the policymaking body, did not have a voice in this. We're held accountable by the public for BART's actions, and if I'm going to be held accountable, at least allow me the privilege of voting to say yes or no on doing something that drastic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweet said she will put the issue on the agenda at a future meeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the Sweet segment below: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nDirector Lynette Sweet condemns BART's cell phone suppression\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/08/bartlynettesweet1.mp3|titles=bartlynettesweet]\u003c/p>\n\n",

She said the board was informed at the end of a board meeting that there was a simultaneous press conference going on regarding security measures for the night's protests. \"The Item wasn't on agenda,\" she said, \"so it wasn't a topic we could even discuss among ourselves because of the Brown Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm still just a little concerned that the board of directors, the policymaking body, did not have a voice in this. We're held accountable by the public for BART's actions, and if I'm going to be held accountable, at least allow me the privilege of voting to say yes or no on doing something that drastic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sweet said she will put the issue on the agenda at a future meeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The group targeted BART for cutting off cell phone service Thursday in order to short-circuit a planned protest related to the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2011/07/charles_hill_identified_as_man.php\">shooting death\u003c/a> by BART police of Charles Hill last month. The protest, ultimately, did not occur. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This group anonymous violated a fundamental constitutional right of our customers and that is their right to privacy,” Johnson told Rachel Dornhelm. “They took their personal information and exposed it on the web for all to see. And we find that shocking. (And) they do that under the cloak of protecting a different constitutional right – the right to free speech. I am just stunned and I think our customers are upset as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also said he didn’t believe BART violated any constitutional rights when it shut off cell service. He repeatedly made the point that the constitutional right to safety trumped the right to free speech. He cited a previous protest over the Hill case as dangerous to passengers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was somebody who jumped on top of the train car,” Johnson said of the incident.”My heart stopped. That moment when I saw that happen, I was scared to death that that guy would hurt himself or kick in a window and splatter glass all over one of our other passengers, violating another constitutional right that other people aren’t talking about, and that is a constitutional right to safety. And on the platform the right to safety is paramount. The right to be able to express your opinion ends basically at the fare gate, where you have to have a ticket… We can’t have chaos on the platform because people can get hurt…The right to safety is paramount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where we would we be if we had specific knowledge on Thursday, the exact day and time and location and and tactics these protesters wanted to use, creating an (even more) chaotic situation than the one on July 11?

In the video, an electronically altered voice, speaking over rather ominous music, lauds the recent social networking efforts that played a role in the Arab uprisings, before turning to BART.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Blocking communication of cell phone devices is unacceptable. The Bay Area Rapid Transit has decided that blocking cellular communications is the correct way to scare off protesters. To the Bay Area Rapid Transit, by performing this action you have not only threatened your citizens’ safety, but you have also performed an act of censorship. By doing this, you have angered Anonymous.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comparison of BART’s action to those recently taken by autocratic regimes is not just being made by hackers. This \u003ca href=\"http://www.aclu.org/blog/author/Rebecca-Farmer,-ACLU-of-Northern-California\">post\u003c/a> by Rebecca Farmer of the ACLU of Northern California also speaks to that point of view. An extract: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Pop quiz: where did a government agency shut down cell service yesterday to disrupt a political protest? Syria? London? Nope. San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer may seem surprising, but that’s exactly what happened yesterday evening.

The group targeted BART for cutting off cell phone service Thursday in order to short-circuit a planned protest related to the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2011/07/charles_hill_identified_as_man.php\">shooting death\u003c/a> by BART police of Charles Hill last month. The protest, ultimately, did not occur. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This group anonymous violated a fundamental constitutional right of our customers and that is their right to privacy,” Johnson told Rachel Dornhelm. “They took their personal information and exposed it on the web for all to see. And we find that shocking. (And) they do that under the cloak of protecting a different constitutional right – the right to free speech. I am just stunned and I think our customers are upset as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson also said he didn’t believe BART violated any constitutional rights when it shut off cell service. He repeatedly made the point that the constitutional right to safety trumped the right to free speech. He cited a previous protest over the Hill case as dangerous to passengers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was somebody who jumped on top of the train car,” Johnson said of the incident.”My heart stopped. That moment when I saw that happen, I was scared to death that that guy would hurt himself or kick in a window and splatter glass all over one of our other passengers, violating another constitutional right that other people aren’t talking about, and that is a constitutional right to safety. And on the platform the right to safety is paramount. The right to be able to express your opinion ends basically at the fare gate, where you have to have a ticket… We can’t have chaos on the platform because people can get hurt…The right to safety is paramount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where we would we be if we had specific knowledge on Thursday, the exact day and time and location and and tactics these protesters wanted to use, creating an (even more) chaotic situation than the one on July 11? If we had let that gone through, what would you be questioning me about today if someone had kicked in a window and splattered glass, injuring several of our customers?…You wouldn’t be asking me about cell phones, you’d be asking me what did you know, when, and what did you do about it? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BART spokesman Linton Johnson says he doesn’t think BART violated constitutional rights, and that the hacker group Anonymous did\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The companies say the rooftop systems will generate enough electricity to power the cars. This way, buyers can be assured they're driving on renewable energy, rather than the standard California mix, which relies on many different sources, including more than 50 percent from natural gas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Of course, most cars will be charged at night, and the sun shines during the day, so the electricity generated from the rooftop systems will serve to offset the nighttime charging, rather than directly powering the car.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However when you're looking to buy some great cars, you may want to check out this post about \u003ca href=\"https://revologycars.com/car/1968-mustang-gt-22-fastback/\">\u003cstrong>68 Mustang GT Fastback by Revology\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> for it offers authenticity and perfection!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/business/ci_18653385?nclick_check=1\">Contra Costa Times reports\u003c/a>,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>SunPower will offer a 2.5-kilowatt rooftop system, which should provide enough electricity to fuel an electric car that travels about 1,000 miles per month, for less than $10,000, after the federal tax credit. Typically, SunPower charges at least $18,000 for a system of that size.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>If all this isn't quite enough, though, and you're looking for a little musical inspiration before making the switch, check out this \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAv6M1Bai0c\">snappy little ode\u003c/a> to the electric car from the band They Might Be Giants & Robin Goldwasser:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The routers send information about the trains from the side of the tracks to the central computer system. There are two routers and in the case of a failure, one is supposed to take over for the other. But both of them failed last night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson says BART officials are still looking for the root cause of the failure. But in the meantime they have backup computer staff on hand.

He calls the bullet train “the signature infrastructure project that will define the Bay Area, California and even the United States in the 21st century.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, he urged the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which coordinates transit planning in the Bay Area, to take the lead in coming up with some sort of compromise rail plan that might be acceptable to the project’s many critics. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our inability, as a region, to articulate a clear vision for high-speed rail has real consequences,” Wunderman wrote to commission Chairwoman Adrienne Tissier, who also is a San Mateo County supervisor. “We weaken our support in the state and federal government, we put ourselves at the back of the funding line, and we strengthen those who argue that high-speed rail is an impossible fantasy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California Watch has reported, Peninsula opponents have \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/peninsula-bullet-train-s-cost-projections-scrutinized-11564\">filed two environmental lawsuits\u003c/a> against the California High-Speed Rail Authority. Opponents fear that running the bullet train the length of the Peninsula will bring blight and sprawl – especially if the trains run on elevated tracks for most of the way as currently planned. But the legal dispute over the project’s environmental planning has morphed into a more generalized critique of the entire financial plan for building and operating the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, a compromise was proposed by three Peninsula lawmakers: Democratic California Congresswoman Anna Eshoo; state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto; and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Los Altos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They suggested \u003ca href=\"http://eshoo.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=971:eshoo-simitian-and-gordon-joint-statement-on-high-speed-rail\">confining high-speed rail\u003c/a> to the present right of way of the Caltrain commuter rail service and scrapping plans for elevated tracks. This would create a “blended system that integrates high-speed rail with a 21st Century Caltrain,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some boosters countered that without its own tracks, the bullet train never would be able to run frequently enough to meet passenger demand – and generate revenues sufficient to head off crippling operating deficits. Wunderman, though, wrote that the lawmakers’ ideas could represent “a promising path forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some rail experts say that saving the project will require a drastic systemwide overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Setty, a transportation consultant and proprietor of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/\">publictransit.us\u003c/a> transportation blog, has proposed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/ptlibrary/CaliforniaNetworkedTransit.pdf\">high-speed rail “reboot” [PDF]\u003c/a> that he says would be far cheaper than the current plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His stripped-down version of high-speed rail would use “existing, mostly under-utilized rail lines” whenever possible, thus saving the tremendous cost of constructing new tracks for the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To link Northern and Southern California, he would run the main spur “down the middle of I-5” on the western side of the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the freeway corridor, rather than the rich agricultural land to the east, “eliminates 99 percent of the opposition” that the project has encountered from Central Valley farmers, he said in an interview. It also would dramatically reduce land acquisition costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The link between Los Angeles and Bakersfield would run over Grapevine, also to save money; the expensive, controversial jog into the Antelope Valley would be eliminated as well. And he would link the Bay Area with the Central Valley via the I-580 corridor over Altamont Pass, mostly so that prospective passengers from the East Bay and North Bay could be better served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stripping the project down to a 400-mile, $20 billion system might well attract the billions in private investment capital needed to build it, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The project is in a lot of trouble,” he said, “but there are ways to salvage it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lance Williams is an investigative reporter for California Watch, a project of the non-profit Center for Investigative Reporting.

He calls the bullet train “the signature infrastructure project that will define the Bay Area, California and even the United States in the 21st century.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Opponents fear that running the bullet train the length of the Peninsula will bring blight and sprawl – especially if the trains run on elevated tracks for most of the way as currently planned. But the legal dispute over the project’s environmental planning has morphed into a more generalized critique of the entire financial plan for building and operating the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, a compromise was proposed by three Peninsula lawmakers: Democratic California Congresswoman Anna Eshoo; state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto; and Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Los Altos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They suggested \u003ca href=\"http://eshoo.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=971:eshoo-simitian-and-gordon-joint-statement-on-high-speed-rail\">confining high-speed rail\u003c/a> to the present right of way of the Caltrain commuter rail service and scrapping plans for elevated tracks. This would create a “blended system that integrates high-speed rail with a 21st Century Caltrain,” they wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some boosters countered that without its own tracks, the bullet train never would be able to run frequently enough to meet passenger demand – and generate revenues sufficient to head off crippling operating deficits. Wunderman, though, wrote that the lawmakers’ ideas could represent “a promising path forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some rail experts say that saving the project will require a drastic systemwide overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Setty, a transportation consultant and proprietor of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/\">publictransit.us\u003c/a> transportation blog, has proposed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.publictransit.us/ptlibrary/CaliforniaNetworkedTransit.pdf\">high-speed rail “reboot” [PDF]\u003c/a> that he says would be far cheaper than the current plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His stripped-down version of high-speed rail would use “existing, mostly under-utilized rail lines” whenever possible, thus saving the tremendous cost of constructing new tracks for the bullet train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To link Northern and Southern California, he would run the main spur “down the middle of I-5” on the western side of the Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the freeway corridor, rather than the rich agricultural land to the east, “eliminates 99 percent of the opposition” that the project has encountered from Central Valley farmers, he said in an interview. It also would dramatically reduce land acquisition costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The link between Los Angeles and Bakersfield would run over Grapevine, also to save money; the expensive, controversial jog into the Antelope Valley would be eliminated as well. And he would link the Bay Area with the Central Valley via the I-580 corridor over Altamont Pass, mostly so that prospective passengers from the East Bay and North Bay could be better served.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stripping the project down to a 400-mile, $20 billion system might well attract the billions in private investment capital needed to build it, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The project is in a lot of trouble,” he said, “but there are ways to salvage it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lance Williams is an investigative reporter for California Watch, a project of the non-profit Center for Investigative Reporting.

They won an earlier lawsuit that required the rail authority to rewrite its environmental study for the Peninsula segment of the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stuart M. Flashman, lawyer for the plaintiffs, says the latest lawsuit, filed last year, cites multiple legal arguments for challenging the Peninsula route. He says the lawsuit’s critique of the rail authority’s ridership studies “is a biggie” in terms of potential impact. A Sacramento judge may rule on key aspects of the lawsuit next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $2 million studies that are under dispute were commissioned by the rail authority in 2005. A consulting firm, Cambridge Systematics, polled California travelers and collected other data to create a computer model that would predict demand for the bullet train. Outside rail experts were supposed to subject the model to peer review to ensure it was valid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it was finished, the model predicted robust demand for bullet trains in California.

The forecast showed the line would attract millions more riders if it were built over the Pacheco Pass. The rail authority had chosen that route, saying the Altamont route would face insurmountable political and environmental opposition because it would require building another bridge across San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, bullet train proponents used the projected ridership figures from the Cambridge Systematics study in their successful campaign to persuade voters to authorize issuing $9.95 billion in state rail bonds. Based on the projected ridership, the rail authority said the system would not need operating subsidies and in fact would turn a profit of $1 billion per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rail authority also cited the study’s conclusions in applications for federal stimulus funds, activists say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2010, a Palo Alto citizens group called Californians Advocating Responsible Rail Design said it had discovered serious flaws in the computer model. The analysis was primarily the work of Elizabeth Alexis, the group’s co-founder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A money manager with training in econometric studies, Alexis said she found bias in the surveys used to predict demand for high-speed rail: 96 percent of the commuters queried about whether they would prefer to get to work by bullet train already were train riders, for example. That’s a tiny fraction of California commuters, and ones who were predisposed to rail travel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexis said she also found that the consultants had privately made “drastic” changes to key assumptions in the computer model used to produce its results. The changes were made after the model had been subjected to peer review. The outside experts who were supposed to provide guidance on whether the study was valid never saw the final version, she claimed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the model’s projections were counterintuitive: According to the model, bullet train stations in Gilroy, south of San Jose, and Merced, in the Central Valley, would each have more than triple the ridership of the station in San Francisco and more than 15 times the ridership of the station in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compared with a 2000 ridership forecast done for the rail authority, the computer model gave a boost to ridership projections for the Pacheco Pass route, while deflating projected ridership on the Altamont Pass route, said Richard Tolmach, president of the California Rail Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he suspected consultants had “gamed” the model to produce desired results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they were tweaking it to pump up the numbers for Pacheco Pass,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For an independent review of the computer model, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit retained their own expert, Norman Marshall of Vermont-based Smart Mobility Inc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his report, he said he found grave problems, calling the ridership and revenue forecasts in the rail authority’s study invalid because of technical mistakes, court records show.

That study, commissioned by the state Senate, declared that the rail authority’s model was “flawed at key decision-making junctures,” as institute Director Samer Madanat put it. Like the citizens group, the UC study found survey bias, saying that in polling on whether business travelers would switch to bullet trains, too many air travelers and not enough motorists were surveyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The model also exaggerated the importance of frequent service in predicting ridership, the institute said. In the end, the study was too unreliable to predict whether high-speed rail would “incur significant revenue shortfalls,” the institute said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The consultants disputed the criticism, contending that their methodology was sound and the forecasts valid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did not change key parameters to accord with our a priori assumptions,” wrote Lance Neumann, Cambridge Systematics' board chairman.
