Denver ready for mass convention arrests

The Denver Sheriff Department is preparing to handle up to 3,000 arrests during the 2008 Democratic National Convention, reports Chuck Plunkett.

In addition, the county courts are clearing their normal schedule for convention week and are setting up an additional courtroom to handle arraignments for those who can't bond out, according to Andrew Armatas, the presiding judge.

This morning, the Recreate 68 Alliance is holding a press conference at the ACLU offices in Denver to "announce legal actions they have taken to assure their civil liberties are respected during the Democratic National Convention in August."
