Well, well, well. The blindingly obvious has been confirmed by the courts in the US of A .....over and over again.
Consider for a moment that video cameras capture your every move on the roads, in stores and on the sidewalks as you go about your PRIVATE business (or is it private????).
BUT the police in MANY jurisdictions threaten, abuse and arrest private citizens who happen to video record the police in action while they publicly abuse a private citizen's body and rights.
Whether a punch, or kick to the head , or multiple tasers shots to their innocent victim or the ultimate in disgusting police brutality... a fatal shot in the back of man laying on the ground, video recording of police in action has helped bring to light the MASSIVE amount of violence against unarmed, non-violent citizens by "law enforcement" personnel.
I HIGHLY support honest, responsible officers performing their public duty Continue reading 'You are free to video police'»
A Seattle man testing the limits of video recording at airport checkpoints and ID requirements to fly in the US has been acquitted of all charges laid against him.
In a challenge against the commonly held beliefs that you can't video agents in public places and you need to show ID to fly in the US this fellow was victorious.
Not only did he win but he got on the record point blank answers to some powerful questions that the government doesn't want you to have. Continue reading 'Fly Without ID?'»
If you've read Part 1 and 2 of this "Systemized Fraud?" series you know I mentioned Canada as a probably having the same kind of problems with prosecutors acting...uh...illegally(?).
The photo above is a REAL photo of a "police lineup" that was instrumental in convicting an innocent man.
He's #12, the one in a head lock, and if you look carefully both arms are being locked behind/beside him. All the other "suspects" are police in street clothes. Notice how the police look SO much less intimidating out of their uniforms? A reminder that uniforms help give the aura of power and authority when in fact....
It wasn't just the police though. It was Continue reading 'Systemized Fraud-Part 3? Oh Canada

US Supreme Court Rulings Guantanamo
Guantanamo Bay detainees story holds a few lessons in law for the average man on the street, anywhere. This is not about terrorism, 9/11, or who these men are. It's about the legal process and lessons we can learn about how the law works, how the politicians can try to create invalid laws to serve a political purpose, and exist as if it were law until challenged and overturned. You need to understand what this idea means to you.
Your basic rights override Continue reading 'Guantanamo, Lessons in Law'»
review decisions
The mysteries of the black robed legal arts have been hidden for centuries, as has so much important information.
Now its less hidden but propagandized as impossible for the average man to grasp (and out of the reach of even most lawyers).
Is law a science with set rules and repeatable outcomes? Or is it Continue reading 'The Best Free Legal Education'»
Here's a court decision from the US (again) that deals with a privacy claim in a medical records situation. The lawsuit was against the clinic, city and county.
This case really brings home that a party receiving a "legal requirement" to disclose private information has a a duty to ensure that the "legal requirement" is actually binding on them. If not, they are liable for the privacy infringement, as was the case here.
What I like about this case is it demonstrates a few principles of law, Continue reading 'Privacy Rights Paramount'»
Interesting case from the US regarding a body search. The judge goes through all the variables of when and why a search can take place.
Especially note the VOLUNTARY disclosure of the fact he was in a fight and the even more damning VOLUNTARY disclosure that had drugs on him when the officer only had just cause to frisk for weapons and was only asking about any more weapons....a big mouth leads to a drug charge and conviction.
Probably 90% of arrests and convictions are made based on voluntary disclosure by the party involved...
Common law jurisdictions will have similar rules around searches, the principles Continue reading 'What Part of Keep Your Mouth Shut Don’t You Understand?'»
