Joshua Kinberg, of the Bikes Against Bush project, was arrested the day before the New York RNC protest march. He writes to let us know that the case has been effectively dropped.

After 5 months, my case was finally dismissed on January 20, 2005 — the same day George W. Bush was inaugurated for his second term of office.

The prosecution offered an ACD (“Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal”), which means that if I am not arrested again within 6 months then the case will be dismissed and the records sealed. So, I will not have a criminal record and my equipment should be returned as soon as the paperwork is processed. I’ve been told that at this point, between 60-70% of the nearly 2000 peaceful activists arrested during the 2004 Republican National Convention have accepted ACDs.

Its been quite a long ordeal, and I want to thank everyone again who supported me and Bikes Against Bush hroughout this process.
