For Your Safety?

Filed under: Copwatch, Corruption, Hypocrisy, Police, Video — zaphar at 4:34 am on Thursday, February 5, 2009

On the ride over to Concord (for the DMV hearing pertaining to Lauran) some fellow liberty activists and I spotted a City of Keene police cruiser speeding along Route 9 in Hillsborough. As you can see in the video, the driver is obviously concerned about the safety of the drivers around him with his excessive speed, tailgating, and swerving. The video is narrated so it’s best you watch it, since I’d just be repeating what’s said.

Later at the DMV hearing, I couldn’t hide the large smirk on my face. The DMV bureaucrat claimed Lauren endangered the safety of other drivers on the roads, because of her disobedience to the law, not because she actually posed a threat or hurt anyone. Double standards? Hypocrisy? I think the answer is quite clear and exposes the state of the current social order.
On a side note, there were no City of Keene police officers present at the hearing for Lauren so the end destination of this cruiser is still unknown.

With the plate number or car number and the time of day and place (as you have) you could report him to the Keene Police department. I’ve done this with my local police. Nothing actually gets done but it lets them know they are being watched.

Excellent Idea. Just pass a note to the KPD with the URL of these videos.

Double standard indeed.
What happened to the first video though?

Wow guys, get a life….or maybe a job and stop trying to destroy the Keene Police Department. It’s people like you who disgust me. Let’s criticize everything about the system because we don’t like rules….why don’t you and all your little Free State hippie wannabes move to Canada where you belong, since I guess the United States isn’t good enough for you. I’m sorry there are laws you all have to abide by but there are millions of other people out there that don’t have a problem listening. You are all like a bunch of gitty high school girls causing and living off drama. The best part is that in the end you will achieve nothing but embarrassing yourself and wasting your years on a pointless existence. Why don’t you all invest time and energy in community service or volunteer work instead of chasing cops around acting like some news organization trying to break a huge story. You are all amateurs and come across as unprofessional and immature. No one but free staters watch your stupid little Free Minds (Brainwashed Minds) TV show. The police you insult and aim to destroy are the first ones you call when you need help, so show a little god damn respect. As a native to Keene I will speak for 98% of other Keene residents and say, “we don’t want you in our city anymore…go back to where you came from!!!” I hope the new Keene Police Chief has the balls to deal with you punks, but we will see, we will see.

Wow guys, get a life….or maybe a job and stop trying to destroy the Keene Police Department.

Yes, because applying consistent standards would apparently destroy them. God forbid they’d have to actually live up to basic moral principles. Oh, and I have a job, thanks.

Let’s criticize everything about the system because we don’t like rules.

I support rules against harming other people or their property. I also support owners’ right to make rules for the use of their property. What I don’t respect is the initiation of aggressive violence and coercion.

We all recognize that it would be immoral for me to extort money from my neighbor by threatening to show up with a gun and steal their home. It would be immoral for me to threaten to kidnap my neighbors if they don’t beg my permission before they open a business, and pay me a fee. It would also be immoral for me to kidnap for eating, drinking, or smoking something of which I don’t personally approve.

These actions do not magically become moral because you put on a funny blue outfit.

why don’t you and all your little Free State hippie wannabes move to Canada where you belong, since I guess the United States isn’t good enough for you

No thanks. Canada’s full of people who use aggressive violence too. I’d rather stay here and work to end abusive and immoral behavior.

I’m sorry there are laws you all have to abide by but there are millions of other people out there that don’t have a problem listening.

Yep. And millions of people used to support slavery too. That didn’t make it any more moral.

You are all like a bunch of gitty high school girls causing and living off drama.

Actually, I’m standing up for the principles I believe in.

The best part is that in the end you will achieve nothing but embarrassing yourself and wasting your years on a pointless existence.

Standing for what’s right is never a waste.

Why don’t you all invest time and energy in community service or volunteer work instead of chasing cops around acting like some news organization trying to break a huge story.

I do volunteer.

You are all amateurs and come across as unprofessional and immature. No one but free staters watch your stupid little Free Minds (Brainwashed Minds) TV show.

I don’t watch it actually, perhaps I should do so, especially if it gets you so riled ;) .

The police you insult and aim to destroy are the first ones you call when you need help, so show a little god damn respect.

I’d much prefer to subscribe to a more efficient and moral protection service instead, which does not spend time abusing the rights of innocent people.

Unfortunately, if I don’t pay your protection racket police service, you’ll steal my home.

Also, I don’t aim to destroy anyone. There are at least a handful of officers who I think could make excellent members of a voluntary protection service, with the exclusive focus on stopping those who harm others or their property. I’d subscribe to that service.

We’d all be better off if individual rights and liberties were respected.

As a native to Keene I will speak for 98% of other Keene residents and say, “we don’t want you in our city anymore…go back to where you came from!!!”

Hey, what a coincidence, I’m a native of Keene also! And both the hosts of Free Minds TV are natives of the Keene area too! (you know, the ones you mocked)

Looks like your supposed consensus is only cooked up in your own mind. Here’s a better idea: Why don’t we both stay in Keene, and why don’t you learn to respect your neighbors’ right to make their own decisions about their lives and finances, as long as they don’t harm others?

FEDUPNATIVE got pwned.

He can’t stand people that don’t blindly worship authoritarians like he does.

FEDUPNATIVE was ***BORN*** */*PWNNED*\*, THINKLIBERTY! Does he know, that as a NH Native, he’s also a minority! (Current Nh residents who are also NH Natives are ~40 – 45%…Geriatric Daycare is 75%(!!!….)*NON-NH-NATIVE!)…Hey, “fedup”, if you’d stop eating your own shit, you might not be fed up…Sure, we welcome your Troll-self, tolerate your hatred & venom, hell, some of us even *FEED* you, TROLL!!!…Our criticisms of KPD are well-earned by KPD. Sure, individually, there are some fine cops. But as a group, they are over-praised, under-paid, poorly trained & supervised. The KPD has allowed it’s officers to devolve into errand boys and insolent thugs, when they’re not brain-dead traffic ticket machines. I’ve been victimized by several KPD officers, a surprising number of whom are now long gone off the force. The KPD turn-over rate is off the charts. Any good cop doesn’t put up w/KPD bullshit for long, and soon leaves for a better run dept…It’s mostly the bad cops who stay around…Of course, the incompetent & near-nonexistant Police oversight by the “Town” council has also contributed to the rudderless pirate ship adrift on the seas of social order which is the political state of affairs here in Keene. So, Mr “fedupnative”, thanks for sharing. Your anger, hatred, and clear and present threat/danger of violence have been duly noted by appropriate *FEDERAL AUTHORITIES*…Welcome to Ameri-KKK-a, fedup. &Remember, shithead, over 50% of Keene residents *AREN’T FROM HERE, ANYWAY!*…anger and logic mix like water and concrete in your head, dude…you gots rocks in your head, asshole, *LET’S ROLL*!!!…///…That guy who was recently blown away by KPD – Turcotte was his name. I worked w/his Dad, Roger, at the Keene Sentinel over 20 years ago…Back then, a new Keene cop – yes, *THAT* Tim Peloquin,- punched out Roger Turcottes’ car windows in a fit of extreme road rage/ roid rage…Over 20 years later, Tim is still doing his best to “protect and serve” the people of Keene. My point in all this is to remind *ALL* of us that cops are individuals. We all make mistakes. We all need another chance. Tim Peloquin seems to have made very good w/his 2nd chance. Let’s see if we can’t all be a little more tolerant & understanding when we’re face-to-face w/a cop…You wanna shit-talk cops, & KPD???…Do it on here. Much bigger audience, huh, Ken.(The new Keene Police Chief is Ken “Mr. Napolean(complex)Dyn-o-mote” Meola…Me-ola = Pay-ola…I’m sorry that Art Walker didn’t take that piece of shit Eli Rivera with him. But, we all know about the rascist, white-people hating Rivera, don’t we!!!…i support the imminent military coup…I *AM* the imminent military coup…ooooh!….*grin*…///…(If “fedup” was any more scared, he’d pee his pants…all his trash-talk is just to reassure himself. He’s *ALL TALK*, w/nothing of substance to back it up. You know, typical TROLL…whatever…

PS: TO: “fedupnative”: Let me assure you, that the new chief *DOES* “have balls”…Unfortunately, Ken Meola has Eli Rivera’s balls resting on his chin. If that’s not the case, Ken, then you need to do what should have been done long ago. Take out that trash. Shit-can Rivera. Give him his full pension. I don’t give a shit. Just get that little *ANTI-AMERICAN, *OBAMA-DICK-SUCKING*, rascist psychopath out of here!…The cartels & Mexican Mafia can get a much better dirty cop on their payroll than RIVERA!…///…SEMPER FI…
