On December 21st, 2011 Bob Tebo, a bailiff at Cheshire Co. superior court in Keene, NH aggressively arrested two individuals who chose to remain seated when a man wearing a black robe entered the room. One of the two arrested was dragged across the courtroom floor by his handcuffs.
As cameras are “banned” from supposedly “pubic hearings” per a signed order from Edwin Kelly, the sole footage of this latest example of double-standards is possessed by the bailiffs and those employed at the Cheshire Co. Sheriff’s Department (which has their office in the court building).
Kelly has stonewalled inquiries that seek to uncover his motivations for implementing the draconian camera ban. And despite requests, the footage from Tebo’s latest incident has yet to be provided and complaints made against him remain “under investigation.” It’s probably not a stretch to guess that that’ll go no where. And why would it? When there’s no competition there’s no reason to even attempt good “customer service.”
Instead of being thankful and acting on information provided by those concerned about double-standards, “public officials” have remained standoffish. They haven’t just refused to converse about the situation but have actively compounded the harm by levying additional threats of arrest, should those commanded not move off public property, most-recently going so far as to “ban” one person from the public parking lot without explanation.
It’s as if the legal land of the courtroom spilled outside. These sorts of incidents will not end until authority is no longer granted to Tebo and his colleagues who have acted and continue to act in the wrong.

Much love to JJ Schlessinger who’s latest video Judge Burke Victim Reel inspired me to cut-up this compilation of clear unaccountability by “public officials” at superior court.
Has anyone filed a formal 91-A request for that footage?
a shame people resort to violence against those who choose to not stand for any other man.
If these people were Quakers, the court is looking at a good potential lawsuit due to the religious practices being denied. They've not stood for others for centuries.
Either way, no person has a right to force another to stand, nor kneel.
Pete, no matter how many time you put quotations around titles, the fact remains…..that an entire assembly hall of people applauded when FK was escorted off campus. FK is in the throes of a death rattle – and it is for one reason and one reason only – the continual and persistent antics of a couple of individuals. You're so blinded by your hatred for police, the state, authority and government in general all you see is red….and like most of the 10 active members of FK, are quick to drop the troll line when someone points out things like…..uh…why… Read more »
Yes Maineshark – denied.
Interesting. What grounds did they claim for denial? Seems pretty straightforward.
great work guys… I guess some here don't want freedom of the press and go "YAY!" when freedom of the press is denied
So what do you propose as the solution: privatizing the "justice" system (i.e. putting it all in the hands of private capitalists who will run the courts and prisons as businesses) or a complete abolition of such a system?
