Police Mentality

I was just reading this article in the Union Leader about my local police department’s upper management forming a union.  I was reading the comment section and came across this:

For your information, I am a Law Enforcement Officer with a Municipal Department. I am a Union Steward, Councilor and Vice President of my Chapter. I make just above $14.00 an hour and have been employed in this position for 3 years. I put MY life on the line so YOU can sleep at night. I also spend hundreds of hours per year fighting for the rights of my fellow coworkers. Managment is trying to again pass me over for a pay increase all while raising our healthcare. And for the record, we pay for everything we have. Keep your insolate, derrogatory, and blatantly disrespectful comments about Union activities to yourself. Unless YOU are going to walk the fine line, and put your life in harms way, so others can be blinded by the very safety I PROVIDE.

After vomiting, I provided the following response:

NH Checkpoint Activism

I just spoke to a very friendly Tilton, NH police officer to find out where their suspicion-less roadblock will be tonight.  It will be on Laconia Road within their jurisdiction and will be run by several surrounding agencies.

I am going to attend the gathering and get some video footage of the ever increasing police state.  I may even hold a sign reminding people that they have no obligation to do field sobriety tests or blow into a PBT…  unless they want to voluntarily give the government evidence which it can use to attack them in court.

I’ll probably be going up there around 6:00P or 7:00P.  Anyone want to join me?

News Update

1.  The Attorney General in New Hampshire decides what free speech is allowed:

CONCORD – Attorney General Michael Delaney’s office denied Wednesday that two right-wing attack ads against Gov. John Lynch were in violation of state campaign finance laws, a claim made by ex-Democratic Party Chairman Kathy Sullivan.

Ahhh…  The democrats trying to use the government to shut up the republicans.  What a silly game they play, manipulating the rules to try and use the violence of the state to shut each other up.  Speaking of rules:

Don’t Give Up Your Rights (Like This)

Ah, the land of the free.  The land where you are stopped by the police for minor traffic infractions, questioned extensively about unrelated things, and intimidated into giving up your rights to be secure in your privacy.  I came across this example of the police state today as I was driving along Route 3 in the Merrimack/Nashua, NH area.

I’ve NEVER shot video or edited before in my life.  This is my first attempt.  As indicated in the video, if you make fun of me for the low quality, you’re mean 😛
