Ohio city forces people who want to contest red light camera tickets to pay a $95 court fee, which happens to be the same amount as the fine, police accidentally taser a UK man in the groin, a deaf man wrongfully convicted of rape wants to be let out of prison, and the Congressional Christmas tree has been chosen but may require secret service protection so vandals won’t ruin it.

Marlborough PD Cop Blocked

While Cop Block‘s Adam Mueller makes a good point in this video, a more important point to make is that NO ONE needs to pay for the parking meters, as has been proven in recent court cases. All you have to do is have the courage to take it to court rather than pay, and odds are good they will drop the charge or find you not guilty. Plus, the more people take them to court, the more likely they will drop them! That said, here’s Adam’s Cop Block of a Marlborough cruiser:

Keene Nightcap Adds Fire-Breathing!

A new face showed up at tonight’s Nightcap. Dorian told her story of the Keene police, who she previously had been a fan of, harassing her for doing spray painting (artwork on paper, not graffiti on buildings). They threatened her apparently and demanded she beg for permission from the city government people and pay some absurd amount of money for their piece of paper. Instead, she told them she was joining the “free staters” and showed up with a fire breathing performance tonight:

Heika Arrested for Using Megaphone

I arrived on-scene as Heika was being loaded up into a KPD cruiser. Her crime? “Free” speech over a megaphone. We were kicked out of the court earlier by the robed man because a bunch of activists stood for Rich Paul when he was called. It was because we were kicked out of court that Monica went to get the megaphone – I had run home at this time to make a phone call I was late for, and when I returned, Heika was being arrested for “disorderly conduct”. According to witnesses, Heika was not on the megaphone when police arrived. They didn’t give her a warning that she was being “disorderly” – they just came up and arrested her. They are calling it a bail violation, so she’s in jail at least for the night and the arraignment is expected for tomorrow. Hopefully she won’t lose her job. 🙁

Please move to Keene and help us end this madness!
