Martial Law Reimposed in Richmond


The City of Richmond is starting to declare parts of city streets off limits again. Basically, it's a dodgey way of declaring a form of martial law in areas of the city. You'll remember that the first time this was challenged the Virginia Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional but the federal supreme court overruled it. I think the first challenge was actually somewhat weak and I expect better challenges very shortly.
