Jim Johnson has fun in court with the bureaucrats who are aggressing against him. This is the trial over him standing in front of a cop car as they attempted to kidnap a young man. Jim was kidnapped weeks later at his home and charged with “Disorderly Conduct”. Following the trial, Pete from Liberty on Tour does some Cop Blocking.

We recently hosted a guest blog by local talk radio personality Mark Edge who announced he’d challenged a parking ticket and after scheduling a trial and then rescheduling it, the charge was “nol prossed” (that’s legalese for dropped) by the city’s persecutor.
That made me curious. I had actually gone to trial in April over the parking ticket that was left on my car back in November. At the end of the hearing, the robed man, Howard B. Lane, said he’d take the matter under advisement. I hadn’t heard anything from Keene District Court on this matter since the trial. I thought perhaps this was due to me changing my address and having a notice fall through the cracks. So to satisfy my curiosity, I dropped in on the court this afternoon, a full two months past the date of trial. The helpful young lady behind the counter retrieved the case file for me. I discovered that I had been found Not Guilty on the same date of the trial! (Here’s the proof, though I never pleaded not guilty as Lane indicates on the complaint.) There was no record of any notice being sent to me about the decision. Apparently the court has no obligation to provide notice when the finding is in the favor of the defendant.
Before you go calling this a win, remember that every time the bureaucrats involve themselves in your life, you will lose at the very least your time. That said, it’s great to have an explicit “Not Guilty” in a parking ticket case here in Keene! It should help encourage others to similarly refuse to pay and instead take the tickets that are littered on their cars to court. Load up the system with parking ticket trials until they stop enforcing that ordinance!
The Trespassive Twelve‘s arraignments happened this week, and here’s the raw video:
A few days ago, some friends and I were clearing brush on my property in Grafton, preparing to building a house, and we were burning some small stuff to make a fire to cook hot dogs on. Suddenly, thugs appeared and threatened us with violence if we didn’t put our fire out. We politely refused to comply with their threats, and more thugs came, and eventually the fire chief of Grafton, John Babiarz, who is a self-proclaimed libertarian (he’s apparently the libertarian party’s current gubernatorial candidate for NH), brought a fire truck and put out my camp fire. This may sound ridiculous, but it looks even more ridiculous. Check out the video.

Tom the census guy dropped by for a friendly visit this weekend. I don’t receive US mail at the house so when Tom showed up it was my first contact with them.
We covered a number of different points including the census’s use to round up Japanese Americans into concentration camps during world war II, corruption, and government legitimacy.
If you want the government people to leave you alone you have to stop obeying them. This is a tough thing to do, and it’s silly to just jump in the deep end of noncooperation, so saying NO to the census people is a good starter disobedience. Have your video camera or audio recorder handy, and don’t be rude or mean. These people are mostly just folks looking for some work; they aren’t the government’s aggressors. They probably don’t realize the money for their checks comes from coercion and fraud. Here’s what happened when an “enumerator” came calling:
