Group Protests Random Bag Checks on the MBTA Saturday

A group called Defend the 4th stopped at Charles MGH Saturday afternoon en route to the State House to protest bag searches on the T.

A pro-4th Amendment coalition with roots in the Occupy movement staged a protest of random bag inspections at T platforms around the city this weekend.

Beginning at Harvard Square, South Station, Lechmere, Kenmore and Ruggles T stops, groups marched to the State House Saturday morning, stopping along the way at other T stops to spread pamphlets and address crowds. Read more about the protests here.
