Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis, It is Now Past Time to Google "the Streisand Effect"
The Peoria, IL mayor used the city police to raid and shut down the owners of a Twitter account that mocked the mayor. The original twitter feed probably had about 12 followers when it was shut down. I suggest that it is now past time for him to Google the "Streisand Effect"
Too bad she didn't have a police force.
Update: Told you so. Popehat has a go

Quite the alignment of idiots in Peoria. I foresee some significant municipal legal obligations.
