-She was not drunk.
-The drug charge was for her valid prescription medication.
-She says she had no alcohol in her car and was unaware if her passengers did.
-She presented a drivers’ license and registration, so why disobeying an officer?
-She did not resist arrest.
Should you like to help Amanda with her attorney’s fees, here is a link to her defense fund. She is going to continue to post to her facebook and twitter and is encouraging you contact police prosecutor Jim Sawyer at 603-524-2330 and ask him to drop the charges against Amanda Johnson.
Hopefully she will be re-posting the video of her arrest soon.

This weekend I learned that a member of my community was arrested. Being naturally curious and a reporter for and about my community, I investigated. Countless people have messaged me asking for more information. Well, Ian beat me to it and published this blogpost detailing what he learned. I called the prosecutor, “Jim” Sawyer (603-524-2330) to ask him to drop the charges for these victimless crimes.
Let this serve as a reminder: Most of us are just one mis-step away from formal incarceration. It can happen as easily as getting pulled over, and BAM! 5 charges that will ruin your life. Is this the world you want to live in, or are you going to do something to change it? Creating a free society requires courage to think, speak, and act for yourself.
How does being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered affect your libertarian outlook or activism and what is it like to be L, G, B, or T in the Shire? Explore with video of the LGBT panel from Keenevention, featuring presenter Dale Everett of “Flaming Freedom” and panelists Elizabeth “Sabbrielle” Edwards, Derrick J Freeman, and Andrew Smith:
In an undated video uploaded today to the Ridley Report, Peter ‘Sturdy’ Thomas, a member of the three-person board of selectman in Dublin, tucks his head, shuffles a flight of stairs and grumbles a question away with, “I’m not answering any questions from you.”
While it would be exposing, but not completely unprecedented to have observed any other politician behave in such a way, Peter’s behavior seems to demonstrate a desire to conceal, especially given his own activities behind a camera as part of DPRK‘s case against Robin Hood of Keene. While he was sometimes friendly when dealing with myself, in videos where he meets other Robin Hooders he displayed a relatively hostile tone and behaved as though he was entitled to deliver orders to others around him. During his time filming he was even shoved by a passing female pedestrian who said nothing to him while Peter was filming a Robin Hooder and an enforcer on a North Main Street sidewalk. He called out to the person and the retired detective presumably flashed a badge, or some sort of authority symbol. On one occasion he took to asking interrogatory questions about specifically who pays for what different tools used in the process of Robin Hooding. In other encounters with Ian Freeman, he would refuse to disclose that he was working for the city when directly asked, and would repeat a drone-like opening greeting in response to any questions.
A slouching ‘Sturdy’ hangs his head before fleeing the videojournalist
On one occasion in which Peter and myself conversed in the city hall parking garage, he was quick to tell me that he was proud of all of his conduct over the course of his career in police work. Generally trustworthy as firm words may be, I found his eagerness to avoid the discussion of unnecessary conflict revealing of a potential lack of self-reflection.
Seeing Ridley’s video, actions speak volumes over Peter’s words.
