There will be better footage of this to come, as this was shot with a hidden cam. Sam and Meg’s cameras were rolling as well during this encounter that happened in the stairwell outside the Keene district court. Sam, having already had one camera stolen and broken by Keene police’s Eli Rivera when he was arrested for taking video in the lobby, had understandably remained in the stairwell when Evan read his Declaration of Sovereignty and filed it with the court. Sam was shooting video through the window, when this court security bureaucrat stepped into the hall and attempted to claim the stairwell area was off limits for photography as well. He goes back in, then when Sam resumes videoing through the door the bureaucrat jacks open the door, hitting Sam’s professional HD camera. This can’t be clearly seen on this video, but as I said, a better, edited one is coming soon to FreeKeene.com. For now, the raw video is below.

Interestingly, the court now has their own camera system, but we still can’t use cameras without facing arrest. Perhaps activists should consider making this an issue again. Our numbers are greater than they were a year ago, and lots of people will be coming to see the Trespassive Twelve arraignments and trials, which would be an ideal time to pack the lobby with camerapeople willing to be arrested. Let’s see if they are willing to load up their tyrannical system even further!
