This is the full video of my “Live Free Or Dance” trial. For those unfamiliar, This summer I was caged for having a dance party in Keene Central Common. Now I face 2.5 years behind bars unless I can convince a Jury to let me be free. As always, I am looking for constructive criticism from law-loving types. To see copies of all the papers on my defendant’s table, visit LiveFreeOrDance.com/Court.
The video is 3.5 hours, so if you’d like to skip around, it may be helpful to use this previous post as a guide to what happens when.
If you are the victim of state aggression and charged with a victimless crime, I urge you to NOT take the plea deal. Learn why I refuse and why you should too by clicking below:
According to WMUR TV, a Keene man and his associate were busted trying to pick up a package full of hashish at a UPS facility. The deceitful police even posed as UPS workers to make the bust. (Yes, this is the same department that threatened Ademo at the airport on Friday.) UPS should be ashamed for assisting in this and the police also for being so slimy and aggressive. Now the police have 20 pounds of hashish to smoke and sell and the peaceful men who went to make the pickup are facing prison sentences:
Two men were arrested in Londonderry last week after attempting to smuggle drugs in a package sent via UPS, police said.
Investigators said the drugs were hidden in an inflatable boat.
Police said they were wearing the traditional UPS brown uniforms when they went in to make the arrests. (more…)
Listeners of FreeTalkLive are familiar with the court orders some of the Keene liberty activists have received banning them from being on Superior Court property without explicit permission from Sheriff Foote himself. Apparently, singing qualifies as “harassing.” Decide for yourself who these public servants are serving. Activists have already agreed that they will not be asking permission to enter the courthouse to conduct their business with public officials. Should they be arrested, they will NOT be taking a plea deal. To find out why, click below:
On January 9, the public hearing on Manchester police department’s CALEA accreditation was held. CALEA is the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. Agencies seeking certification must pay CALEA for the process, which is administered by current and former law enforcement officers. CALEA certification is primarily intended for larger departments, and aids the department in insuring itself against liability. The biannual hearing is open to anyone with input, positive or negative, on whether a police department should be given passing certification. A quick Google search does not reveal evidence of a department ever having failed the CALEA certification process.
In the past, such hearings have been better attended by critics of departments. With this year’s hearing falling the night before the New Hampshire presidential primary, I was not surprised that I was the only voice critical of MPD at the event. I spoke about the Chalking 8 incident, which I had been swept up in and later found not guilty of two bogus criminal charges.
Liberty Activist Cecelia Freechild is pulled over near the Keene Activism Center. Six Keene activists roll up with cameras to investigate the situation, hold the police accountable, and discourage aggression against peaceful people. Cecelia received a ticket but will NOT be taking a plea deal. She’ll contest the ticket and take it all the way in court, making the state prove its case beyond a shadow of a doubt. To find out why an average young woman like Cecelia would do something like this, click below to find out more.
