Mystery Client Seeks Anonymity in Reno Mayor Spy Case

The anonymous client who hired a detective to track Reno's mayor with a GPS device is arguing in Nevada's Supreme Court that he has a First Amendment right to remain anonymous. The client's lawyers argue that the First Amendment protects anonymous political activity and that the use of private investigators to investigate elected officials is just politics as usual. The client is seeking to overturn a Washoe County judge's order that he name the person who hired him to keep tabs on Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve and a county commissioner before the November election.
