Pete, as you may be aware, is currently on the Cop Block “Police Accountability Tour”. He just got back from South Africa and is now in San Francisco, where he was recently arrested for “jaywalking” when following police who were less-than-interested in identifying themselves. The cops claim he was a “pedestrian in the street” because Pete stepped off the sidewalk into the parking lane. He was in no way blocking traffic.
Regardless, though the police shut off Pete’s camera at one point, his audio recorder continues. Despite Pete informing them they were being broadcast live, the police make the critical mistake of overlooking the audio recorder and proceed to speak what-they-think-is-privately once Pete is no longer around them. This conversation between the police begins at 5:11 in the video. They are paranoid that Pete may be a “sovereign citizen”. They describe what they did to Pete: “We jacked him (laughs)”
My favorite part is when they dig through Pete’s stuff and find the “Don’t the the Plea Deal” flier. Officer Khuu exasperatedly says, “What is this junk? Don’t the the plea deal… oh god, an anarchist.”
There is also plenty of profanity from the potty-mouthed police, lots of “fuck him”s, plus they openly discuss charging him with something called “due process of id”.
Pete was cited and released. Not sure when the court date is.
A new trailer for the evidentiary hearing videos from the lawsuit by the City of Keene against Robin Hood and the Merry People has published online as the raw footage becomes available through Fr33manTVraw. The segments are being prepared into hour-long consumable chunks for the viewing audience of Cheshire TV. Legal memorandae from both sides in the case were due yesterday and a ruling from judge John Kissinger is expected some time in the near future. Check out the Aqua Keene Parking Force’s courtroom saga introductory promo embedded below.
New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan was recently ambush interviewed by Dave Ridley multiple times at the same event as she greeted constituents and took photographs with young people. The topic of the interview was the electronics raid exacted on Garret Ean by state police investigator Joseph DiRusso on June 26, which resulted in a 55 day confiscation of the device. When the camera was returned on August 19, it had some minor vandalism scribbled on the underside by unknown agents of the state.
Throughout the entire video, the governor of New Hampshire does not once seem to so much as acknowledge Ridley’s presence. After the chief politician is back in her vehicle, Dave turns his camera to her driver, asking if it’s appropriate for the state’s chief executive to ignore the state’s number two most popular youtube channel. He follows his boss’ lead and also gives the journalist nothing but a silently bowed head. Maggie Hassan has also been evasive with independent media in the past, including when the topic of the ambush interview asked the newly-inaugurated Hassan about NH independence.
Local political trivialities are warming up as one candidate has gotten ahead of the curve in quickly releasing a mayoral race video entitled Bradford for Mayor through the independently organized Keene Unfancypants Party. The advertisement showcases Bradford’s passion and drive to make a change in the Keene, New Hampshire city government. With no end in sight to politics as usual, Bradford offers choice to the citizenry in this year’s contest for mayordom. You can see special edition videos of Bradford attacking Robin Hooders Garret and Graham on two separate occasions in February of this year from Fr33manTVraw. In the latter footage, Bradford stumbles into a parking enforcement officer before harassing Graham for filming the enforcer. Be sure to share Bradford for Mayor with all municiple voters you know – this election season, education is power!
Shortly before the two day evidentiary hearing for the Robin Hood of Keene lawsuit, independent journalist Dave Ridley produced a video critiquing criticism of meter-filling activists. He offers commentary on an encounter that would be raised during the court proceedings as they commenced on Monday.

Another article covering the Robin Hood trial, this one focusing on day 3, was published today in the Keene Sentinel. Also now available are the full day hearing videos from Free Keene. There will be more analysis to come as counsel for both sides prepare their final memorandums and judge John Kissinger composes his ruling. While the Free Keene cuts of the video are viewable now, the raw segments from which they were produced in 1080p are currently uploading to Fr33manTVraw. The twitter hashtag #robinhoodtrial was used by many following the case live, which provides a thorough timeline of the proceedings.
