FCC vs. The fifth amendment
FCC wants radio, TV to keep tapes of shows.
Presumably this is to make it easier for the FCC's
Enforcement Bureau
to levy some of those
hefty new fines.
Now I know the issue of the FCC fines and the FCC in general has already been discussed
here,
here,
here,
and possibly
here.
But it seems like there's
a fifth amendment issue
here that's new to this debate. Will forcing broadcasters to keep tapes in effect compel them to give evidence against themselves?
