Suit Threatened Over Surveillance of Religious Order's Building
The Thomas More Law Center is threatening to sue Northville Township (MI) officials over their alleged surveillance of a house owned by the religious order, Miles Christi. Journal Newspapers yesterday reported that the surveillance camera was apparently intended to document increased parking density at the house in order to support the township's request that the religious order submit a plan and apply for a zoning variance. Thomas Moore Law Center's Richard Thompson says that the township's targeting of the religious order violates the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.
