At the front door of the “town hall” with Kelly Ayotte in Fitzwilliam, an officer, Dave Ellis from Troy was searching bags in violation of people’s right to privacy. That is, if you were with the media – in that case you were not touched, as I was not. He and I had an interesting chat regarding confiscating property, peace officers, civil disobedience, gun confiscation, the war on drugs, and more:
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.

At her “town hall” meeting in Fitzwilliam, NH yesterday, I encountered Kelly Ayotte, former NH Attorney General and now US Senator outside before she entered the building with her security. Since I didn’t think there was a chance I’d get to ask my question inside the event, I asked it here. Of course, I was ignored, but had a little Cop Block with officer Lenny DiSalvo where I was “asked” to go around front and politely declined his suggestion.
Kelly Ayotte held a “town hall meeting” in Fitzwilliam, NH on May 2. I attended, and rode with a few others from Keene. The crowd was larger than I expected, and included several dozen members of the media.
The event began with Senator Ayotte giving a brief powerpoint presentation on some of her key talking points, and then moved to the audience Q&A. (more…)
