Ademo and Pete were in Greenfield again this week to attend a hearing regarding their motion to dismiss the ludicrous charges of “wiretapping” for recording police in a public place. More details on this situation here at Copblock.org. Here’s the footage:
The video footage was FINALLY retrieved from Greenfield PD today, well, 50% of it due to a technical difficulty with Ademo’s camera. Here’s the raw footage from Pete’s camera including their interaction with the bureaucrats in the jail and their arrest outside. For full detail on this incident, visit Copblock.org/Greenfield.
Part 1/2: Inside the jail, threatened by the guards over recording video:
This Monday morning, 3/7, Jim Johnson, one of the “Trespassive Twelve” arrested at the Cheshire jail last year will be facing a jury trial, with jury selection beginning at 9am.
This may be the first jury trial of a “free stater” thus far in New Hampshire, and more are expected this year. It also appears to be the first trial that Cheshire county has held in months, due to the unfortunate plea bargain process that encourages people, through intimidation, to take a guilty plea for a reduced sentence. The state agents never have to prove their case, which is frequently full of holes, and people are forced to pay hundreds of dollars in fines. That’s no easy task anytime, let alone in a down economy.
Activists will be out early at the court to perform jury nullification outreach, informing potential jurors that they have the right to vote their conscience, not just whether the government’s statutes were violated.
The allegedly coke-dealing and definitely corrupt Weare cops have targeted another liberty activist for recording them, this time videographer Biker Bill. The Union Leader reports:
WEARE – For the second time in less than a year, Weare police have charged someone with felony wiretapping for recording police activity.
William Alleman, 51, of 140 Helen Dearborn Road, was charged Tuesday with interception of oral communication prohibited, which is the state’s felony wiretapping law RSA 570-A (click for text).
Police Chief Gregory Begin released few details of the case when reached for comment Thursday. The charges stem from a July 10 traffic stop, Begin said.
“He was making an audio recording of the officer during a motor vehicle stop without getting consent of the officer,” Begin said.
Alleman said the charge is based on a cell phone call he made as an officer approached his vehicle. (more…)
Here’s what I qikked earlier today, as Nashua district court security positioned themselves in front of both Jason Talley and my video cameras in an absurd attempt to censor the press. Higher quality video to come later.
(For some reason youtube looped the video twice, so you can stop it halfway through.)
