A 22-year-old woman from Chicago recently spent two nights in jail and could face up to three years in prison for taping four minutes of the new movie Twilight: New Moon. Samantha Tumpach and family threw her sister a surprise birthday party at the theater and captured much of it on video. Unfortunately, two "very short segments" were enough to make theater managers want to press charges.
So please do not give your money to a company that would throw a woman in jail for filming her daughters birthday at the theater and in the process recording a very short segment of the movie. She was not there to record the movie, she was taking video and photos OF HER SISTER. Police were not inclined to do anything but the idiot manager insisted on pressing charges.??
