Todd Mokhtari, news director and web manager for Seattle's KIRO TV, just responded to my inquiry from earlier this morning.

"We didn't give them any video," he said in reaction to the Seattle Police Department charging documents for an arrested May Day protester that read: "Video provided by Channel 7 news to our department."

Mokhtari added, referring to those SPD documents: "I don't know why they wrote it that way."

He said he agrees "100 percent" with what a journalism ethics expert told Slog earlier this afternoon: "Anything that you haven't already published, you should not be handing over without a subpoena."

According to Mokhtari, KIRO hasn't received a May Day-related subpoena from the SPD yet, though it did get a letter from U.S. Department of Justice instructing the station to preserve documents related to the protests.

However, Sean Whitcomb, spokesman for the SPD, said the May Day-related subpoenas are coming. "We're really hopeful that through community collaboration we'll be able to identify some of these vandals and bring forward successful prosecutions," Whitcomb said.

UPDATE: A couple minutes after I posted this, Mokhtari called back to say the 8-page subpoena from the SPD had just landed on his desk. The SPD is asking for KIRO video, he said, "and they want it tomorrow at 9 a.m. I guess I need to call my attorney."
