While Pete Eyre and I continue the 2013 Police Accountability Tour, updates from the changes at the Weare police department stream out of NH. The Concord Monitor has the story on WPD’s new police chief imported from New Haven, Connecticut, which was the subject of its own FBI raid in 2007. The Monitor story discusses some of the negative attention drawn to Weare police under the reign of previous administrations, wherein civilians were legally attacked and threatened with felonies for recording police. Multiple individuals have their own lawsuits against the department for the infringement on their right to document public officials.
Linked below is an update from myself and Pete produced shortly after touching down in Chicago, where our stay promises further adventures in accountability.

Pete, as you may be aware, is currently on the Cop Block “Police Accountability Tour”. He just got back from South Africa and is now in San Francisco, where he was recently arrested for “jaywalking” when following police who were less-than-interested in identifying themselves. The cops claim he was a “pedestrian in the street” because Pete stepped off the sidewalk into the parking lane. He was in no way blocking traffic.
Regardless, though the police shut off Pete’s camera at one point, his audio recorder continues. Despite Pete informing them they were being broadcast live, the police make the critical mistake of overlooking the audio recorder and proceed to speak what-they-think-is-privately once Pete is no longer around them. This conversation between the police begins at 5:11 in the video. They are paranoid that Pete may be a “sovereign citizen”. They describe what they did to Pete: “We jacked him (laughs)”
My favorite part is when they dig through Pete’s stuff and find the “Don’t the the Plea Deal” flier. Officer Khuu exasperatedly says, “What is this junk? Don’t the the plea deal… oh god, an anarchist.”
There is also plenty of profanity from the potty-mouthed police, lots of “fuck him”s, plus they openly discuss charging him with something called “due process of id”.
Pete was cited and released. Not sure when the court date is.
