“Prince” John Plotting to Raise Parking Fines and Rates

Prince John MacLeanI don’t know if they can just do it on their own or they’ll need city council approval, but the city of Keene people, according to a Sentinel article, want to raise both parking rates and fines over the next couple of years.

But, I thought they said the Robin Hooding crackdown wasn’t about revenue. Things that make you go hmm…

UPDATE: I’m told someone was told by a city councilor that any increase in rates or fines must be approved by city council and public comment must be heard by them. Should make for an interesting campaign issue this year!

Cannabis Arrests and Convictions by NH Law Enforcement… 100% Unconstitutional

Many moons ago I posted on the Free Keene Forum that police officers in New Hampshire who arrest the sick using marijuana were do so illegally.

After much reflection on the issue, today I am forced to stand by my previous position. Today I find the need to stand further up than I did just a few years ago.

Police officers in New Hampshire have no right to arrest people under state law, anybody, for possession of cannabis. Read Part I, Article 10 for yourself:

[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.]

Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

The federal Drug Enforcement Administration ruled back in the 1980s that Cannabis is safe.  Politicians have consistently hid this information from you.  They rely on you either not knowing the law or not being able to afford to defend yourself.

Guess what?  Now you know! (more…)
