Harass A Republican, Lose Your Phone

ST. PAUL (CN) - Ramsey County has obtained an emergency order allowing it to order telephone companies to turn over the names and numbers of anyone who makes harassing phone calls during the Republican National Convention, and to cut off those people's phone service, for the purpose of "public safety." The order will expire when the Republican convention ends.

The order ostensibly is aimed at anyone who might make "ongoing hang-up calls to the Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center" During the Republican Convention.
