Conservative activist and Westwood native James O'Keefe won't be able to leave New Jersey while he's on probation for his involvement in a telephone tampering case, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
Federal Magistrate Daniel Knowles III denied O'Keefe's request to travel for several speaking engagements, a conference and personal trips. According to the Associated Press, Knowles had previously approved out of state travel and O'Keefe's attorney indicated that his probation officer didn't have any objections to the requests.
O'Keefe, who graduated from Westwood Jr./Sr. High School and Rutgers University, became famous for trying to embarrass Planned Parenthood and ACORN by recording undercover video to show people in those organizations in a bad light.
Last year, O'Keefe pleaded guilty to posing as a telephone repairman and entering New Orleans Sen. Mary Landrieu's office. Three others also pleaded guilty in the case. O'Keefe received a sentence of three years probation, 100 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine. Knowles handed down that sentence in May 2010.

Who says the Westwood Jr/Sr school system isn't any good? Obviously this guy has excellent electronic aptitude! How else would he have learned how to plant electronic listening devices? Thank you Westwood Jr/Sr High!

Someone needs to notify Daniel Knowles III about the fact that Little Jimmy is at the Faith and Freedom Conference that is being held by Ralph Reed, the so-called "Christian" conservative and real-life grifter who via his role in the Jack Abramoff scandal was exposed as a money grubbing, hypocrite who had no problem scamming Christians into support gambling, human trafficking, sex slavery and forced abortions. Nice people Little Jimmy is hanging around with, aside from being a known criminal himself who is in violation of his probation. Dave Weigel of Slate.com took the photo:
