The ironic trial against Daleiden and the CMP mostly involves a California privacy law that protects individuals from being recorded without their permission. Pro-life legal counsel has been fighting a legal battle against the charges for years. They argue that because the footage was recorded in public places, and they believed violence was being committed against living children who were killed after birth the law does not apply to these recordings. California's recording law specifically has exceptions for recordings made in public areas and recordings made when the recorder believes violent crimes are taking place. The law has never before been aimed at journalists.
It is unfortunate that the CMP's 2015 videos have resulted in no charges against Planned Parenthood, and instead have locked them in a legal battle against the abortion giant. Daleiden and the CMP are calling on the Office of the Attorney General to formally prosecute Planned Parenthood and other organizations affiliated with the fetal trafficking allegations.
