No victim no crime, four words with a lot of meaning. No victim, no crime. It's common sense of cool. Yet today's so-called criminal justice system is not based on such logic. Indeed, the incentive of that course of monopoly is to grow in size and scope at the direct inverse of your rights. If you believe that badges or a specific attire doesn't grant extra rights, then why are we surely cede to someone authority or deference and go along with their charade? If you find yourself in legal land, don't take their plea, stand up for the truth for what you know your core is right. Make it clear just who are the real criminals and who is initiating force. In March of 2013, Leslie Collier, an employee of the keen police outfit, put a ransom note on my taho. She claimed that I owed a corporation called the City of Keene money because my vehicle was parked on a public street overnight, which the City of Keene decreed wasn't permissible as it could inhibit snow plows. Huh? There's no snow on the street. There is no victim. Clearly, Collier's ransom was left not to protect, but to generate revenue. In May, I visited legal land, a place where logic is suspended where the vernacular used is peppered with magical legalese and where a person upon donning a black dress assumes an alter ego called the court. It's a $15 ransom and I don't plan to pay this organization. I wrote about that experience as we each conclude that we shouldn't apologize for actions that harmed no one and we don't owe a debt to make some fictitious entity whole. As soon as we live free of individuals claiming the right to initiate force, we'll see what happens if the threat levied isn't dropped, I expect to sit half a day or a day on a cage. Hopefully it gets some folks to think, at least I know I'm being true to my conscience. At late July, I received some paperwork from one of Collier's colleagues, Jean Killam. I was informed that any facts that I wanted to be considered in legal land would have to be shared ahead of time with Daniel Lawrence, who was taking over for Killam. A couple of days later, I gave Lawrence a note that pointed to a post online, which showed with a video and weather reports from that day in the previous two days that there was no snow on the ground and thus no victim. In August of 2013, I sat down with Collier Lawrence and Ed Burr. Was there any victim that night? The year after the state would object in for relevancy, relevance as to whether there was a victim or not. You noted that there were snow on the yards which I agreed to put the video from that night, but you're not able to give a definite answer that there was snow on the street that night. I couldn't say to what amount of snow there was on the street. And you didn't see any vehicles around or any property that had to damage by my truck? Not that I'm aware of. And when did you receive a call that I had caused or my truck had caused anybody harm that night? Not that I'm aware. So there's no victim to your knowledge? It depends on what you mean by victim. Could you give me your definition of victim? In relation to parking, I'm not sure if they're what you mean by a victim of parking summons. What's that I'm upset about? Yeah, Burr says that I owe simply because I disobeyed a decree that I never signed, which was written by some strangers I never met. The court's entering a guilty file, is it $15? That is correct, where I'm at. I think we plan to pay that or not. I'd rather sit at the time of the cage and I want to fund this operation that targets people for not hurting anybody. Maybe 20 days. And what happens if the rights and doesn't get paid? It doesn't get paid if it goes to default and then there's a possibility of driving as license to DMV. That's up to DMV to decide. And then if I continue to drive, I guess I could be caged. I don't know what would happen. All I can tell you is that the court wouldn't be taking the license to DMV and have to decide what I'm going to do. I don't know. I'm not paying this price. I'm not paying everybody. And November, I received a love letter, signed by Richardson Bailey Jr. that told me to comply or else my operating privilege would be suspended indefinitely. It was set to take effect on December 20th unless I paid 100 FRNs. I don't believe my ability to travel on molested is a privilege and I certainly don't believe that I am wrong anyone and thus need to make them whole. Three days before I'd supposedly be unable to operate a vehicle, Bailey sent me another letter. He recanted his threats and his own words. Our notice is hereby rescinded. All license operating privileges are hereby restored. So what are some takeaways from this experience? First, transparency is key. If I would have gone through this without documenting anything, without sharing publicly the ludicrous claims made, it's unlikely that the same conclusion would have been reached. The court of public opinion is powerful. That's why we a cop like encourage you to share any incident involving a police employee that you're subjected to. It's key to do this from the start and at every step. Second, be true to yourself. Be it a place mentally where the threats or the outcome itself aren't your main focus. The best way to erode the legitimacy of these failed institutions is to show them what they are. Of course, it helps to have some good people around you. That, more than taking a plea or petitioning someone else who claims to be a ruler or any other inside their system activity will empower others to act based on the truth. That when there's no victim, there's no crime.
