Bad Cop on Make A Gif

This Friday was an eventful night. First, a man was arrested for honking his horn in support of activists. Then, my friends and I are threatened with arrest while trying to bail him out. He’s now sitting in jail for the weekend, and his car was impounded. The tow truck man accepted an offer by an activist to pay to tow the guy’s car to his home, but the police threatened to revoke the tow truck man’s contract with the city if he did.

The whole idea about police is that “society” gives up some rights and freedoms to a small group of people in order to gain some safety. The problem is that the people who are willing to give up their freedoms are already well behaved, and the people who behave badly are attracted to power. This arrangement turns a populations of good people into easy prey for tyrants, knowingly or unknowingly. Illustrated here:

For eleven years I took part in a scam that turns the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Part I, Article 33 of the New Hampshire Constitution into a money making racket.

When you are arrested for a crime or offense which is punishable in the adult system, the police have generally three options regarding your release.

1) Release you on a hand summons. (A ticket, telling you when to appear in court.)
2) Release you without any charges.
3) Contact a “Bail Commissioner” who will decide what your bail will be.

The third option typically is what happens most and if you have been through it you are most likely $40+ poorer for the experience.  The thing is this: you legally do not have to pay and they still need to release you.  Any threat to not release you is just that.  An empty threat.  In fact, you would be quite lucky if they followed through with such a threat …
