A Bird's Eye View in the Bush

This extraordinary videotaped evidence shot from behind a bush shows a Johnson County Kansas commissioner snatching the lawn signs of his opponent. Now charged with theft, the commissioner is apparently claiming that he was merely "moving" them or putting them in his van to foster a civilized discussion about their placement. There were also moments of comedy in the video, which was subsequently posted on YouTube as well. For example, the female campaign worker documenting the act frequently curses and then seems to realize that such utterances are impolitic.
