ACORN Sues Makers of Hidden Video
---------------------------------



The anti-poverty group ACORN has filed a lawsuit against the makers of a
hidden-camera video that secretly filmed the group’s workers appearing
to offer advice to a pimp and prostitute. The video led to a
congressional vote removing ACORN’s federal funding. ACORN says the
videos were illegal, because they lacked two-party consent.
