Robin Hood Court Update: Local Man Files to Intervene, Hearing Dates, Pete’s Status

by | Sep 20, 2013 | 2 comments

robinAs you know from day one of the “evidentiary hearing” in the Robin Hood case, the last thing that happened in court was that Pete filed a motion to remove his name from the case, since he has not been involved in Robin Hooding.  The city’s hired-gun private attorneys filed an objection to that motion, stating that because Pete used a radio one time to announce the location of a parking enforcer and that he once had a conversation with one, that he must be considered part of the “civil conspiracy” and kept on the case.  The judge denied Pete’s motion.

The last post I made about the case was regarding free speech attorney Jon Meyer’s motion to dismiss the case.  Now the city’s attorneys have filed their objection.  They claim they have a right to sue to protect their employees and that Meyer’s motion is improperly timed.  They say they should be able to complete the evidentiary hearing before a motion to dismiss is entertained.  Of course, there are two more full days of court slated for that evidentiary hearing, so that means more billable hours to the fancy private attorneys that the city people will force taxpayers to fund.

An interesting new twist has come to the case where a local man named Matthew Phillips has filed a “motion to intervene“, in an attempt to join the case as a defendant!  Phillips makes the argument that since the city argued that Pete should stay as part of the case (when all he ever did was use a radio once and have a conversation with a PEO), that Phillips should be added as he claims to have Robin Hooded more than Pete.

DMV Suspends Ian’s “Operating Privileges” Indefinitely – No Right to Appeal!

by | Sep 20, 2013 | 14 comments

kilhamI recently had a hearing at the DMV where the Keene police prosecutor, Jean Kilham, attempted to prove that I am a “resident” and that therefore I have to get a NH driver’s license.  I argued that “residency” is something that one must voluntarily seek.  Originally, Kilham had brought criminal charges against me for not getting a license, but then dropped them before the trial and told me she was going to go after me via a DMV administrative hearing as the burden of proof was lower.

She has succeeded, as expected, in having DMV administrator Michael King rule in her favor.  According to his 12-page “Decision”, I will no longer have the “privilege” to drive in New Hampshire starting Novemeber 5th.  The document does claim on the final page that there are “appeal rights” regarding the decision, as outlined by RSA 263:76.  The word “rights” might make you think you have a right to appeal.  However, on a trip to the Cheshire “superior” court, I was informed that there would be a $250 filing fee in order for me to use my “right” to appeal.

I filed a motion to waive the filing fee, citing that RSA 263 says the court “shall” rule in the case of appeal, which sounds obligatory.  I also cite the NH constitution’s bill of rights, article 14, which states that legal remedies should be free.  Finally, I cite a religious objection to funding an unjust and unfair system.  Judge John C. Kissinger denied that motion citing Lamarche v McCarthy 158 N.H. 197 (2008).  In that case, the NH Supreme court re-iterated several previous rulings that basically claim that NH Article 14 doesn’t say what it says.

Robin_Hood_akpf2Premiering in this week’s AKPF #1 timeslot is Aqua Kourt Pillage Feud #02, the second installment of Robin Hood of Keene‘s edited trial highlights from the raw full hearing. The next such occasion is scheduled for September 30 and October 1, unless a motion to dismiss filed by attorney Jon Meyer is granted prior. An episode last month featured Pete’s testimony chopped down to a format easily consumable by a televisual audience. This week’s video consists primarily of parking enforcer Linda’s testimony, and drudges on indefinitely until details begin to emerge.

Institutionalized Racism: Blacks in Cheshire County Nearly 10x More Likely To Be Arrested For Cannabis

by | Sep 14, 2013 | 7 comments

NHCLU Cannabis Blacks ArrestedThe NH Civil Liberties Union has run the numbers and found that across NH, blacks are 2.6 times more likely than whites to be arrested for cannabis possession. That’s a pretty serious indictment about a pervasive institutional racism present among NH police. (I’m not saying all cops are racist. Betcha some of them are, though.)

It gets worse, though. Cheshire county is far-and-away the worst place of all the counties in NH. Law enforcement officers here are nearly TEN TIMES more likely to arrest blacks than whites for cannabis possession. That’s just…stunning.

All the while the police chief acts like a marijuana arrest is no big deal. Check out the full story at the NHCLU blog.

How sad it is that racism is still out there lurking. How it is dangerous when the racists are uniformed and carry badges and guns. It reminded me of a sad letter to the editor of the Sentinel from a black girl named Crystal, explaining why she was leaving town. To any racists in New Hampshire, did you know there is a racist state project in North Dakota? You should move there.

Here’s Crystal’s letter: (more…)
