Luke, Manny and Anthony were transfered Central Bookings at 100 Centre street in New York City until tomorrow morning.
This was a set up. The NYPD knew they were coming and was told to stay in one particular spot and was never asked to leave. The Bloomberg people also told them to stay in one particular spot and was not asked to leave. Therefore, Luke, Manny and Anthony were not trespassing and were wrongfully arrested.
Manny was arrested for filming and his face was also smashed by under the care of the police in the squad car.
While in Central bookings, other people were let out of the cell, but Luke, Manny and Anthony remained in Central Bookings. The NYPD Intelligence and Bloomberg Security confiscated the three cameras with all the footage. They also kept a picture camera were snooping and looking through all the pictures. The NYPD Intelligence Officer saw photos of Luke shooting a gun at a shooting range and was asking him if he had a license for that and accusing him of owning guns without a license.

Central Booking (212) 374-3921
New York County (Manhattan) Criminal Court (212) 374-5880

Information is still coming in at this point - see below for some of the latest updates:
Michael Bloomberg was set to appear at a $500 per ticket function put on by the Inner Circle. (http://innercircleshow.org/infotickets.html) Hilton New York 1335 Sixth Avenue between 53rd & 54th Streets New York NY 10003
Members of WeAreChangeNY News were assembled in the lobby area at the Hilton Hotel in order to ask Mayor Bloomberg some additional questions regarding the first responder issue which continues to be ignored. Requests to meet with our reporters have been repeatly denied by the Mayor's office. Reporters were stationed at various locations around the lobby and according to witnesses on the scene hotel security and members or Mayor Bloomberg's security detail began tracking and hovering around Luke and others with cameras who were waiting patiently for the Mayor's arrival. Members of both security staffs began to ask questions about who were guests at the hotel and who was press. Orders to "detain" people soon began so that those individuals could be banned from the building. All of the members of WeAreChange immediately complied with all instructions given by the security detail so that they could exit the building but within seconds arrest orders were given. According to WeAreChange camera operators there is video of these unlawful arrests as it appears that in some cases there were no warnings given and some people were simply arrested just for being in the lobby of the hotel. _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

Activists Arrested For Asking Mayor Bloomberg A Question
Paul Joseph Watson - Prison Planet.com - Monday, March 30, 2009
We Are Change New York members have described the “inhumane, insane and surreal” experience of being arrested by police for asking Mayor Bloomberg a question and promise that “the full story of this incident is yet to be heard.”
Luke Rudkowski, along with fellow We Are Change members Manny and Anthony, were all arrested on Saturday night for asking Bloomberg a question about 9/11 first responders outside the Hilton Hotel on Sixth Avenue.
They followed orders by police to stay in one designated area and yet were arrested for trespassing and were later hit with the charge of “impersonating a journalist,” despite having Infowars press credentials.
As The George Washington Blog points out today, “The media organization which sponsors Rudkowski is Infowars.com, a website which has many times the readership of small town “establishment” or “professional” newspapers. Indeed, given the popularity of Infowars and its sister sites, Prisonplanet.com and Jonesreport.com, the Infowars news network probably has more readers than all but the largest traditional newspapers. So the issue cannot be one of size or audience............
AJ's call to the precinct got the fake press pass charges dropped, even though there is a supreme court decision protecting our Rights as a members of the press. From wearechange.org's site:
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Supreme Court Defines the Press
In Lovell v. City of Griffin, 303 U.S. 444 (1938), Chief Justice Hughes defined the press as, "every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion."
This was an official public press event for Bloomberg.
Luke was detained the moment he entered the hotel and was eventually charged with criminal trespass. Bloombergs henchmen framed him by holding him against his will and not letting him leave, even after he offered to leave numerous times. Then they told hotel employees that he refused to leave and suggested criminal trespass charges.
This is the second frame-up just like the attempt by Silverstein's goons to frame him.
Manny and Anthony were physically assaulted and detained in the same manner, ultimately being arrested for filming and trying to find out what happened to Luke.
The police held the cameras and footage claiming it to be evidence in a criminal investigation.
He has a trial in two months and the police said that he cannot have the cameras and footage until then. However, this is also evidence that can be used in his defense. He has a Right to access the footage.
No doubt, this is racketeering on the part of Bloomberg's henchmen, the police, and possibly the hotel.
AJ is suggesting that Luke has crossed a line and that his life is now in danger. I'm afraid that I have to agree. However, I don't think it's going to slow them down a whit.
Luke will be doing a video simulcast with Bermas tonight.
They now have no cameras to record their actions. The cameras are also very important for documenting violations of their Rights, not just as journalists but, as Americans.
