NH: Cop questions Free Stater 1/2

[fosterjaml4]

It's a shame that cop's like these are tied in with the bad cops. Because he kept his tone respectful and only cited the law she remained cooperative. This video could be a training video for the rookie cops out there. Only the fearful cops have to use force first.

[nikkib000]

i wish these people would get out of my town and state. that cop right there is the reason grafton is such a good town.

[nikkib000]

@nikkib000 these people are morons. they are as bad as the tea party. its just a bunch of people who are not smart enough to think for themselves so they join a larger group of idiots who are good at sounding like they know what they are talking about.

[MorteWulfe]

You idgets do realize that part of the use of registering vehicles is #1 road construction and maintenance and #2 the restriction against anonymity in a motor vehicle. How would you like it if you were crossing the street and a car hit you, but since there are NO license plates etc. that person was never found and punished for the hit and run?

[USAdude30]

That is one good cop right there,the law is gave an oath to up holds have gotten beyond ridiculous.I would hate to be a police officer for this NWO state.I can't take away fellow Americans rights.

[BeingNobody1956]

is there something in the water in NH that makes all of you crazy people turn paranoid and insecure? what a bunch of candyasses

[YouAreNotAMonkey]

Thank God for the Police in New Hampshire and everywhere... and pray to God about all the people they have to deal with....

[coreyeib]

Excellent example of a law enforcement officer doing his best at being a peace officer. He gave you several opportunities to explain but it seems you didn't know or weren't prepared.

There is a difference between driving and traveling. If you had the proper paperwork on your private property (van) you could have displayed that you are not driving but traveling (might now work with the commercial sign on the van)

Great post, great to see a good cop, keep it up.

[32kaben]

from what i understand good thing the cop stop her before she killed someone no brakes rusted out floors loaded with steel just what iheard

[timmertootoo]

Nail 'em Merle! Those free staters are FREAKS!

[vme02]

No free-man here. She gave him complete jurisdiction over herself and her private travel apparatus. How can a living being exist inside the state of New Hamshire? How does a statute become a law, specially when there is no enacting clause in the statute books? Why is she driving, a commercial activity which the state has authority over, why is she not traveling, as is her common law right?

[alanleewaddell]

You should write on your driver's license that you signed that contract under duress and indicate the statute next to you name, 1-207 without prejudice under duress. Making it clear that you intend to reserve your constitutional rights. Once you are before a judge you must notify the judge that you do not stand behind your signature on this contract and that you only signed because you had to, UNDER DURESS, and that you have not entered into a legal binding contract with his court of equity.

[alanleewaddell]

Under the Constitutional 1st amendment right to travel freely and unencumberd within the United States of America you are not supposed to have your vehicle registered or have a driver's license and you cannot substitute a civil liberty with a privilege and issue a license and a have a fee for it. (repeat after me) 16 am juris prudence 2nd section 97, I am the beneficiary of an iron clad contract between congress and the American people guaranteeing my civil liberties.

[Spanky00Cheeks]

@alanleewaddell

This is the ridiculous.

I don't think you understand what it would look like to not have your right to travel freely.

It doesn't mean you can use vehicles and machines on the roads without any oversight or contribution to the system.

Whats next? You will refuse to pay at toll roads, or trespass on private property at will, claiming its unconstitutional?

[MrSpedsled]

@Spanky00Cheeks Actually, it states you have the right to travel by means of the day with out molestation, in fact it falls under "the right of association" and has been backed up by the supreme court in several cases, Shapiro v Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969), In U.S. v Guest, 383 U.S. 745 (1966), the Court noted, "It is a right that has been firmly established and repeatedly recognized.

[taurusmaroon5]

This cop obviously doesn't have a real police job, like D.C. cops or Newyork, or CA, so he just pulles people over for small petty shit, in that nice brand new, perfectly decal police SUV, that I might mention our registration and tax dollars paid for, so think about that the next time your pulled over for anything. What a waste of tax payers dollars down the drain, he only wants you to pay registration, so he can buy more new vehicles for his dept. how sad, sad little man.

[eljujo]

cop was cool. audio sucks

[mikeknight4u]

The cop handled this situation very well. Really courteous, respectful and helpful.

[pickledbill]

Today he's the "good cop" but tomorrow this goon has his knee on somebodys throat

[qweqqweqbt]

FUCK THAT COP! LET HER GO YOU FUCKING SHITHEAD! haha!

[bigdstocktrader]

Actually, I give much respect to this police officer. He was VERY polite, even to the point of offering her a ride. I am not used to seeing cops act this nice. He even let Ridley record him. He did make an unnecessary comment about abuse though. But he was otherwise nice.

He was enforcing the law, maybe a crappy law, but a law nonetheless. Now it is our job to get this registration law off the books. Return police to only protecting and serving, and not revenue collecting.

[porcupine07]

I am not anti-police, but they are pressured to enforce unjust laws.

When a cop pulls you over and decides to impound your vehicle they are violating the constitution. They have deprived you of property without due process of law.

[samatention]

oh it looks like she is unhappy she got caught braking the law. do not like the registration. she can go where ever she wants all she has to is walk.

[reynoldsair]

I feel bad for the cop in this one. It seems like he didn't want to be doing this but, nevertheless, felt obliged to enforce the law.

[LumpyRevolution]

This guy wasn't evil but the job he was doing is. There is a difference you know.

[nikkib000]

@LumpyRevolution really evil? its evil to make sure someones vehicle is safe enough to drive so they dont hurt other people or even themselves? come on lets get real here folks.

[rataMacue22]

The registration/plates are there so they can ensure any revenue that may be derived from your 'breaking the laws' don't go uncollected. Cars without plates would actually provide a level of privacy.

Imagine having to walk around with your SSN or other ID number on the front and back of your body. Of course, they'd never get away with that. So instead they create face recognition devices which will achieve the same goal when they put them everywhere.

[fczwartek]

"provide a level of privacy"

When you interact with other human beings you inherently and willingly choose to diminish you "level of privacy."

Driving your car is a form of social interaction, and in a public sphere (the publicly owned and maintained roads.)

By using public roads you are volunteering to follow guidelines created through a democratic process, or pay the fine for violating those guidelines.

Don't like it? Don't use public roads.

A simple solution.

[taurusmaroon5]

Well you can't exactly drive beside the road, now can you, geez give the woman a break, she obviously has a little bit of money problems, hence the reason why her vehicle isn't registered.

[SimpleDan76]

I think registry should be like....you register it once..the plates are in your name...and thats it

[LumpyRevolution]

I agree. I also think we can "register" them with anyone or anywhere we desire.

[fczwartek]

Don't drive on public roads and expect the cops not to notice that you're driving an uninspected or unregistered car.

It's pretty simple really.

The roads are a public resource. The public should make the rules they deem necessary for governance of the roads.

There are plenty of other areas of private life that you libertarians can put to practice your- everyone for themselves free market free for all- ideas.

[rataMacue22]

Boy do I feel safer on road now! Heroic efforts keeping the streets free and clear of people who don't (gasp!) register their vehicles.

[somecomputergeek]

Did he have probable cause? Why did he pull you over?

While I agree with a lot of libertarian arguments, when you apply for a license, you're signing a contract to obey road rules, including not driving unlicensed vehicles. There's no reason why the cop should have pulled you over, but there's no reason why you should violate a voluntary contract, either.

[1lgdmn]

Glad to see this cop wasting our time, our taxes, our rights, our liberties, our constitution and our lives. Instead of doing his job. You know he's just picking on these people for no good reason. It took him that long to come up with something.
