For apparent causes, we’ve coated a metric ton of Streisand Impact tales right here at Techdirt over time, however I actually didn’t assume we’d get to 1 a couple of decide not sporting pants. But, sadly, right here we’re.
Meet Choose Jamie Jameson, of the forty second Judicial Circuit courtroom in Kentucky. Jameson is at present suspended from his duties over a sequence of misconduct allegations, a lot of which has been dutifully coated by WKMS, Murray State’s NPR radio station. These misconduct allegations should not the topic of this put up, however they do set up that Jameson allegedly has what some may name a really free relationship with ethics and the regulation, if these allegations are true.
However now there’s yet another allegation: Jameson is accused of attempting strain WKMS to not run a narrative about how he typically fails to put on pants across the courthouse.
In keeping with fee paperwork and an interview with WKMS workers, Jameson discovered a WKMS reporter had filed a data request for video footage he believed would present Jameson roaming the Marshall County Judicial Constructing partially dressed.
When Jameson discovered of the data request, he referred to as Chad Lampe, who was the station supervisor for WKMS on the time. In keeping with the Judicial Conduct Fee’s charging paperwork, Jameson pressured Lampe to not pursue the story, saying he had contacted higher-ups at Murray State College, which holds the license for WKMS.

This could be wildly unethical on its face, clearly, however right here’s the place issues get actually silly. The data request had already been denied by the Administrative Workplace, Lampe had already determined to not enchantment that call, and had even determined to not run the story by the point Jameson had phoned him as much as play strongman. He was pressuring a information group over one thing that was already not going to occur anyway, with the information group figuring out that this was not one thing newsworthy.
In contrast to, say, a decide pressuring a information group to bury a narrative, which completely is newsworthy. And now that the Judicial Conduct Fee caught wind of all this and is now leveling extra allegations towards Jameson, guess what’s now all around the information?
The fee discovered Jameson’s actions violated quite a few judicial codes of conduct, together with an obligation to adjust to the regulation and act in a way that promotes public confidence within the integrity of the judiciary. The fee additionally discovered Jameson violated codes of conduct that prohibit a decide from abusing their energy to advance private pursuits.
And now the story about Jameson strolling across the courthouse sans pants is getting broad protection. Earlier to the try to bury the story, the entire thing seems to be prefer it was by no means going to see the sunshine of day.
And that’s roughly as clear-cut an occasion of the Streisand Impact in motion as there could possibly be.
