What law did he break by wearing the hat? I know your not suppose to out of respect but no where can i find a law that says your not allowed. Its not fair he wasnt allowed to wear a hat but if its a "religious" reason you can. If you are a part of the law the rules are bent for you and i have seen women wear hats in court before but they dont treat women like they do males. Its all crazy and ridiculous. They wonder why the jails are over populated. So call "laws" like this is why.
It's young punks like you that killed respect towards the elders, the court of law and the law enforcement officers. If you don't show respect, neither any respect be shown towards you. Period.
So essentially, by his own admission, he does not have to follow ANY laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or policies because "I didn't sign that ........." Really?! Let's put the shoe on the other foot: Narrator says, ".....then what is the big deal?" Exactly, what is the big deal? Simply take off the hat! Where do you draw the line between which rules are against your Constitutional Rights and which are not? Seems like you pick and choose on a whim. GROW UP!
this has got to be one of the DUMBEST actions I have seen yet. lol Just take off the hat! Jesus, the only point you made was that you are a childish little boy who doesn't like authority. lol
@MickZaruba clearly that is NOT the place to question any laws. Also, it is a sign of respect...if he doesn't respect the law or the court of law then he shouldn't be there no matter what. I'm all about protesting laws we don't agree with, and believe me there are way too many for me to list here...but this was just common sense.
Christ what an asshole. Taking off a hat in the courtroom (church, school, etc) has its basis in custom, then enshrined in law because it is considered rude and a sign of disrespect to wear a hat indoors. You could argue this is a dumb custom, but those are the rules and many of us still think you act like a douchebag when wearing your cap inside.
Your argument that the paper thin trucker hat was keeping you warm doesn't fly. The officers can wear hats because its part of their uniform. You were in a goverment building, not your living room. You must abide by their rules. If he would have walked out like a man he wouldn't have been dragged out like a child. Get a real job crybaby.
most people have no problem taking their hats off in the court room. this is because they are not giant man-children who think the world revolves around them.
it is not wearing the hat that he was thrown in jail for and we all know it. everyone knows that you dont wear hats in a courtroom. he was deliberately provoking to courtroom, intentionally trying to create the exact situation that we see in this video. I have no sympathy for troublemaking punks like this.
@Monsterbott Don't be a jackass, that guy wasn't hurting anyone. There was no reason for the cops to handle him the way they did, they were just trying to show off their own authority for a benign and harmless thing. And here you are siding with the guys starting agression over a hat. Those aren't harmless ideas, they just further make people feel like it's "immature" to question the enforcement of victimless crimes.
Wow, a relative of mine just had the exact same thing happen to him in Illinois. The judge told my relative to take the hat off or leave the courtroom, so my relative got up to leave the courtroom and the judge had him arrested and put in jail for at least a week. It's freezing in IL right now! This stuff just ticks me off....
@Insipidus7 I don't believe for one second that it was that simple. He probably tried to argue and cause a ruckus before he attempted to leave. Am I right?
These people are stupid and deserve everything they bring down on their own heads.
What did they charge Pete with, trying to stay warm? We are not under their jurisdiction until we enter their BAR. The Judge signed a commission to the Corporation known as Keene, New Hampshire. He is there on behalf of the corporation not the people. The State should intervene, we still have Habeas Corpus, we don't have to have an identity.
What assholes these cops are! If they didn't literally have the power to take away someone's freedom - a power which they clearly abuse - I could almost feel pity for them because I can't imagine that anyone with an ounce of self-respect would act like this.
@kayemmdee how true that is,thats why most of us call them pigs suweeeeeeeee,and then that other pig has the nerv to were a hat and noone said anything to him suweeeeeeeee f in pigs suck.if they just did there job they would be ok.my frends son became one hes a jerk off to he dont lnow anybody nomore whar a richerd craneum
@dankfr33music Why do I have to be a cop or a cop groupie to not have a problem with removing my hat in a courtroom? It's a simple sign of respect, just like calling a judge "Your Honor". You can call him "dude" but you'll probably be asked to stop...not because there's a law against it, but it's just common courtesy, same as the hat thing. Keep it up and you're in contempt of court, just like Bald Pete. Why the phony outrage?
If no law was broken and he was arrested and assaulted, all those involved in this arrest should be fired and brought up criminal charges themselves. These abuses will continue unless the people committting them are held personally responsible. Let us not hear anymore of the "thin blue line." Most cops today are now mere agents of morally and literally bankrupt governments. It's probably gonna get alot worse before it gets better. He should not comply because the arrest was unlawful.
@samoabamoa Can you cite the law that prohibits the wearing of hats in a public place? Courtroom? While the national anthem is being played? I didn't know there was such a thing.
@samoabamoa Property owners don't have the right to tackle, arrest, kidnap, fine and punish those who don't follow their property. They have the right to forcibly eject trespassers (including those who break the rules) with only the force necessary to do so. The government, on the other hand, asserts the right to arrest, incarcerate, fine, and enslave you for not obeying whatever authority you are told to obey.
@samoabamoa Property owners don't have the right to tackle, arrest, kidnap, fine and punish those who don't follow their property rules. They have the right to forcibly eject trespassers (including those who break the rules) with only the force necessary to do so (which might only be as much as asking the person to leave). The government, on the other hand, asserts the right to arrest, incarcerate, fine, and enslave you for not obeying whatever authority you are told to obey.
@livefiretoad If you knew anything about the activism of the people involved in this situation, you would know that they always have cameras on them and are always prepared in case an injustice such as this happens. Do your research.
Additionally, he was never warned that the consequence was arrest. "You can go" is not "Leave or be arrested"
@HogsBigBen: Or should I stoop to your level? Would that get my point across better? Because for some reason you have this illusion that the word "fuck" actually enhances your argument.
If you prefer it that way, let me rephrase: "fixating yourself on the fucking hat is the incorrect thing to do. Fucking bald fuck Pete didn't wear a hat to court to "question authority." Pretending that that is the case is fucking absurd. Pete questioned authority when he was demanded to remove the fucking hat."
@HogsBigBen: Thank you for not resorting to unnecessary name-calling. I am so psyched that people on YouTube are able to have such an intelligent and civil debate devoid of ad hominem attacks.
Oh, wait.
Regarding what you posted: fixating yourself on the hat is the incorrect thing to do. Pete didn't wear a hat to court to "question authority." Pretending that that is the case is just absurd. Pete questioned authority when he was demanded to remove the hat. That is why he was arrested.
mid-15c., Latin, lit. "(you should) have the person," in phrase habeas corpus ad subjiciendum "produce or have the person to be subjected to (examination)," opening words of writs in 14c. Anglo-French documents to require a person to be brought before a court or judge, especially to determine if that person is being legally detained.From habeas, second person singular present subjunctive of habere "to have, to hold"
What a bunch of ignorant crybaby whiny pussy motherfuckers most of you are. This all boils down to "questioning authority" now? So Bald Pete and his loser friend got all gussied up and decided to "question authority" by wearing a hat in a courtroom? Bravo! You're just like Thomas Paine and Ben Fucking Franklin, Pete. Except not.
No-Hair was arrested for contempt of court. Period. Stop your ignorant "questioning authority" bullshit.
Also @jasonsheil: Please, stop comparing a private locale such as your home to a public locale like a courthouse. You can tell me what to do or not do in your own home because you *own* it. Who owns the courthouse? Certainly not that bailiff or the arresting officers. Tell me, then, who owns and can subsequently dictate the rules of that courthouse?
@jasonsheil: So then, with the issue being only of the hat, it seems pretty fair to say that Pete Eyre was arrested simply for wearing a hat. Way to go justice system; you got the *real* bad guy now!
In all seriousness, Pete was not arrested for wearing a hat. Pete was arrested for questioning authority. Him doing so embarrassed and aggravated the bailiff and the rest is history. The object that spurned the altercation and subsequent arrest is irrelevant at this juncture.
Face facts . They had no clue they were being video taped. Why is Pete still in jail? You people that are his friends fucking suck. You don't know how to fucking habeas corpus and you are leading a freedom movement? Giving me a fucking break. The most fundamental remedy for freedom and you guys don't have a clue. Pete's sin was picking incompetent friends. The PTB are testing you and you are failing big time. No DUE PROCESS = No immunity. Pete should be filing suit . You guys are slaves.. sheesh
Its his property and his body, but its not his courtroom. The courtroom belongs to everyone. They have a no hat rule. Fine. Obey that shit. Its not a big deal. Fucking yuppie pricks complaining about how America is police state because you can't wear a hat in court. I'm so tired of America's poor-me attitude.
@jasonsheil: Stop fixating yourself on the hat. The hat is not the issue; it never was. The issue is that when Pete questioned authority he was arrested.
@rawsiefilnredom No. The issue is the hat. If he took the hat off, he wouldn't have been arrested. If he had walked out of the courtroom he wouldn't have been arrested. He isn't fucking Rosa Parks here. The rule is, remove your hat. If you aren't ok with that, then you can go to a courtroom where you can wear a hat. If you come in my house and I tell you to remove your shoes, you had better either remove your shoes or yourself.
And why was he at the court in the first place? Because he was there to bail out friends who got caught with marijuana AND A GUN. This video fails to mention the gun part. Fine, upstanding citizens indeed!
@FunkyMikeyG possession of a firearm is a time-honored American tradition enshrined in the second amendment to the constitution and in many state constitutions. Cops possess firearms. Does that make them bad, too?
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." People who defend this amendment only pay attention to part of the statement, the part where it says "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms." If we go by your reasoning then it would be appropriate if I had a nuclear weapon in my garage.
@FunkyMikeyG I don't think that means what you think it means. It's not my reasoning. It is a fact of life. Firearms exist, the so-called supreme law of the land guarantees the right of people to possess them. Just get over it.
@georgedonnelly No, I don't think you realize what the second amendment means. How is driving around with a firearm and marijuana "necessary to the security of a free state." The framers of the Constitution allowed us to "keep and bear arms" so that the citizens could overthrow the government if the time came when our rights were infringed upon to the point of tyranny.
@FunkyMikeyG Again, it doesn't say you can only possess a firearm when it is necessary for the security of the state. You're arguing in bad faith now.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Honestly, I think he got what he deserved. He obviously did this for media attention. He obviously knew what he was doing when he refused to remove his hat, why else would there be someone with a camera recording it? He said: "I'm cooper...ating, why are you doing this to me?" If he was cooperating he would have taken his hat off in the first place. If he was cooperating he would have stood up after being handcuffed. He forced the officers to drag him through the court and through the snow.
@FunkyMikeyG Yes, he knew was he was doing - disobeying an unlawful and illegitimate authority. If only more people had the brainpower and the courage to do the same we would be a lot better off.
@angelmoon1959 Actually, I'm a high school physics teacher. What do you do with your life? Besides insult people on a public forum for holding a different opinion from yours.
@HogsBigBen: Did you actually watch the video? Honestly, your comments have lead me to believe that you haven't. Either that or your observational skills are absolutely horrendous. Pete wasn't asked to do anything. He was told that it was court policy for him to remove his hat. He asked what policy. He questioned authority and the "court officer" took exception to that. Shocking, right? Who would have thought that an individual in power would act unfavorably when his authority was questioned?
@HogsBigBen: I absolutely refused to answer your question because it is illegitimate, as stated. You have no understanding of what liberty is; every one of your posts, including the one posing the question that I refuse to answer, has indicated so. Seriously, before you waltz into a debate on liberty, learn what it means. Google and/or Wikipedia are your friends.
@MRDA2611 Still dodging my questions, I see. What a surprise.
Keep on rambling, dummy. It just makes "your side" keep looking like the paranoid buffoons that you are. I apologize for replying earlier when I promised I was done with you unless you answered my questions. It's hard to keep track of you nutcases. Toodles for real unless you answer my questions instead of prattling off random talking points that have nothing to do with Bald Pete. Toodles, Mr. Easily Distracted.
@HogsBigBen Well which question are you burning to get the answer to? You fired off so many down there, I thought you were just being rhetorical. Which of them do you actually want answered?
Sucks what happened to you. Personally I wouldn't have chosen this particular fight.
But while you're there I hope you'll talk with the inmates and convert some more sheep to porcupines. Don't piss money at no bail bondsman! Stay in jail. You won't do more than 12 months. It will give you some insight into a much more important fight than getting pot legalized or hats allowed.
Pete is an idiot with a staged camera man to film the whole thing. He states he is not being disrespectful but that is exactly what he is doing. Dragging him through the snow was his choice by not standing up and walking. You guys are a complete joke.
Nice try MRDA but the system that is supposed to be in place denotes that the courtroom belongs to the people not the judge, since you pay for it and his salary. YOu are a brainwashed fool that will turn over your rights to anyone that demands that you do, out of what? A respect for there authority? Which by the way they got by force and are in no way entitled too, entitled like the way we are to security in our persons. Look it up. One day you'll be on the short end of that stick.
@ClumsyRoot I had a similarly misplaced sense of indignation when I was 13. I grew out of it before I started losing any hair. These people are an embarrassment to the generations that gave their lives for their right to...umm...wear a fucking ballcap in court? They make me sick.
@MRDA2611 What you "thought" can be hastily scrawled on the back of a dinner check. Grow up. Or better yet, wear a hat in Keene Court. I dare ya. I double dog dare ya.
@HogsBigBen So you actually thought Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan (to name but three) were about "freedom" and "democracy": is this the "grown-up" view?
@rawsiefilnredom Of course another big mouth won't answer a simple question because the honest answer doesn't fit his agenda. You make yourselves look like simpletons when you can't discuss this.
George and Bald Pete's little frathouse of misguided rebels have done this before and it went nowhere. Google "FreeKeene's Jesse Arrested for Wearing Hat" and laugh at that moron's refusal to take his hat off on "moral grounds." I bet their parents are really proud of the pussies they raised.
@ClumsyRoot: If you watch the video again, you'll see that it is quite obvious that Pete really was not the one who made this an issue. He was told (not asked, mind you; there is quite a difference between a demand and "a minor request") to remove his hat. He asked who's policy it was. He questioned authority. That is what it boils down to. He questioned authority and the judge did not appreciate it and subsequently became confrontational. End of story.
Like I said to HogsBigBen, I do understand where Pete is coming from. I had a similarly misplaced sense of indignation when I was his age. In my 20s, I was a self-expression absolutist--I reacted mindlessly to any perceived threat to what I regarded as my inalienable right to whatever the hell I wanted. I defied authority at every turn, regardless of whether such authority was valid. I had my PRINCIPLES, man!
I chalk it up to the impetuousness of youth. Thankfully, I outgrew it.
@HogsBigBen: "What liberty was Hairless Pete denied when he was asked to respect[...]" is not a legitimate question. And because so I refuse to respond. Figure out what liberty is and we shall continue. Until then, toodles.
@georgedonnelly The "gesture of respect" was not mandatory. Bald Pete was given the choice to leave. Nobody snuck up on him and gave him a beatdown for wearing a hat. You and all these other people need to stop focusing on the hat. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DAMN HAT. Pete broke a rule of the courtroom and proceeded to be a whiny pussy about it instead of leaving. The rest wouldn't have happened if he would have walked out like an adult instead of dragging his legs like a 5 year old in a temper tantrum.
@rawsiefilnredom So remind me. What liberty was Hairless Pete denied when he was asked to respect an United States Court of Law by not wearing a hat? You people are truly embarrassing.
I had a similarly misplaced sense of indignation when I was that age: Any perceived threat to my inalienable right to "self-expression" was met with sophomoric rebellion.
@MRDA2611 Still dodging my questions, I see. What a surprise.
However, I will answer your question. I have no "fear" regarding people wearing hats in court. It's a simple and reasonable courtesy that civilized humans show one another. Slippery slope again, right? Where is your line as to what's acceptable behavior in a courtroom? I guess a free-for-all is fine with you, right?
I'm done with you unless you at least attempt to answer my questions. Toodles...
@MRDA2611 I haven't forgotten anything, but thanks for continuing to NOT ANSWER the questions I asked you. What "right" is being infringed by asking some bald asshole to respect a court of law by removing his hat? What liberty is being taken away? What is the goal here? Let's say we let everyone wear hats in court. Then what? A big circle jerk in Keene for a job well done? Do you really not see how absurd this is? Of course you don't. At this point, you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.
@HogsBigBen asking questions doesn't usually violate rights. Snatching people, putting your knee on their head, cuffing them and caging them when they haven't hurt anyone - there may be a few problems there, eh? btw there is no meaning in a gesture of respect when it becomes mandatory. IOW, it is no longer a gesture of respect but an act of submission. The goal is to live the truth and be free and equal by disobeying unjust laws and illegitimate authorities.
@HogsBigBen - you're asking people to respect a court that doesn't respect innocent individuals. oh, but you must be claiming that Pete isn't innocent, but a criminal for wearing a hat, right?
@thisisbunk IT'S NOT ABOUT THE HAT. Pete is innocent of breaking any existing or non-existing hat wearing law. He is guilty of contempt of court for not removing the hat when asked to and for refusing to leave when given the choice between staying without the hat or leaving. He could have been asked to not chew gum loudly or to not wear his "I ♥ COCK" t-shirt. It's NOT ABOUT THE FUCKING HAT! It's about him refusing to comply with a reasonable request made by a court officer. Fuck Bald Pete.
@HogsBigBen Why was the "request made by a court officer" reasonable? How was he impeding the court's duties? May they ask someone to take off their..? The hat issue might seem 'disrespectful' to a judge, but does that mean someone should go to jail for it? What, in your view, crosses the line? And you're okay with the cop wearing the ski-cap in the same courtroom afterward? You're clearly a cop, or a cop groupie.
I don't give much respect to a court system that imprisons over one million non-violent Americans every year for committing the heinous crime of smoking pot or paying for sex.
Is there anywhere in civil society (i.e. the private sector) where an individual citizen or business can legally put you in a cage for not showing someone 'respect'? Of course not.
Only the people with a monopoly on force can do that.
@MRDA2611 Why didn't Bald Pete try this same bullshit at a nightclub where a 300 pound bouncer will violently prevent you from entering if you don't have the right brand of shoes on? Where's the outrage there? Fucking pussy hypocrite. And an even better question: what "right" is being infringed by asking some bald asshole to respect a court of law by removing his hat? What liberty is being taken away? You assholes are embarrassing yourselves with every comment. Keep 'em coming.
@HogsBigBen I see you've forgotten your own distinction between public and private buildings, Tough Guy. As for "embarrassing", nothing could top your anti-hat rage and rape-endorsement on this page. Once again, you're a class act.
Also, someone who wishes rape by proxy on someone, really has no ground to call anyone else a "pussy hypocrite".
@MRDA2611 There's the slippery slope argument "your side" likes to babble on about. If we start letting bald assholes wear a scruffy ballcap in court, how long before gang members are coming in with their saggy pants and gold chains and bling in full view? There's a time and place for these idiots to make their points, and this just is not the time or place. Is wearing a hat that important to you retards? Your lives must be boring as fuck if this is what you need to rebel against. Grow up.
@HogsBigBen OH NOES! If people wear bling and baggy pants in a public building, Western civilization will collapse! I assert that *your* life must be as "boring as fuck" if you put so much weight on what people choose to wear. Sort it out!
@blakjak42 Read this until you understand, okay? Pete the Hairless Wonder wasn't dragged out of court for wearing a hat. I know stating it that way makes all you assholes who live to be outraged get excited, but that's misleading. Mr. Clean was asked to remove his hat out of respect for the court. He refused and whined like a bitch. Then he was told he could leave if he didn't like the hat rule. Again, he whined like a bitch. At that point, he's in contempt of court. Game over. Lock his ass up.
@MRDA2611 Are you really that fucking stupid? Really? Do you not understand the difference between a court of law and someone's house? REALLY? Holy shit, you people are complete fucking morons.
Holy fuck. The more I read comments from Pete The Bald Assclown's supporters, the more I hope he's "watched" around town when he gets out. He better not be doing 36 in a 35, you know what I mean?
@HogsBigBen So it's okay if they do it? Well, nice to know you support arserape for victimless crimes: a shining beacon of civilization, you are! Stay classy!
@LIbertyorDeath419 The "po-leece man" (that's clever...ugh) is wearing a hat that is part of his "po-leece man" uniform. Pete the bald asscunt is just being a shit-disturbing douche because he and his butt buddy with the camera are attention whores. It's kinda not the same thing.
Noticed none of the fuckwits who are talking shit about Pete has bothered to address why the hell that po-leece man should be allowed to wear his watch cap in court without being dragged out, arrested and detained indefinitely. Guess they support double standards which favor the tax feeding parasites.
My ex mother in law is a judge in NH and if you wore a hat in her court room i promise she would have you thrown in jail . This guy Pete is a total goof and i just called the police dept and the court and told them to keep him .
It's called contempt of court. It's really, really, really basic law, but you douchebags (and this pathetic fucking bald loser who isn't going to hold another non-burger flipper job for the rest of his life) haven't seen the inside of a law book in your lives. Or any other book, for that matter.
If me and my boys were there, we would have rescued Pete from those buffoons. We'd have put their own handcuffs on them, thrown them into their own jail cells!
You people are really missing the point. This is about power. When did public servants become public masters? The entire episode was to show who is boss. Do you really want unelected bureaucrats arresting people in the name of dick waving? We are half way down the slippery slope and you people are blind to the obvious. "because I said so" is not a reason. These is an arbitrary abuse of power. Some of you have to be seriously retarded.
@blakjak42 Are you so fucking stupid that you're comparing the civil rights movement to this shitdick whining about not wanting to expose his male pattern baldness in court? YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME!
This is so stupid. There would have been a simple solution to the whole problem, taking off the hat. If anarchists whine about police oppression here the guy brought it on himself.
Bald Pete wasn't arrested for wearing a fucking hat. He was arrested for contempt of court. If he wants to make a stand by not taking his hat off in a college classroom because his professor hates him, then fine, be an obnoxious twat there, but show some respect for our courts. I wouldn't even have minded seeing him get tuned up a little bit for being a pussy and not walking like a fucking adult.
What the fuck, George? You can't edit out your stuttering and stammering, but there's an atrocious edit at the end where the cop is wearing his hat? Fuckin rookie. And maybe if bald Pete could stand the fuck up and not be an obnoxious pussy, the cops wouldn't have had to drag him. I haaaate worthless shit-disturbing assholes like bald Pete. Fuck him and fuck you.
Fuck bald Pete for not wanting to show his embarrassing head in court and fuck the whiny douche narrating this crap. Take your fucking hat off in court and stop being a cunt. I hope this asshole's asshole gets widened a few millimeters in jail.
@HogsBigBen Fuck Rosa Parks for not moving her butt to the back of the bus, and fuck all of you supporting her. Fucking whiny douches. Move your fucking butt to the back of the bus and stop being a cunt. I hope her... Hmmm... I can't even bring myself to repeat that next line sarcastically.
@P1RH4NA Sorry, sarcasm doesn't translate well to the page. HogsBigBen got it though, & I was talking to that hater. I repeated back what he said as closely as I could, attempting to point out that the way haters are reacting to this today is how many haters reacted to Rosa Parks at the time. She didn't follow a stupid little rule, and got in serious trouble for it. Pete didn't follow a stupid little rule, and got in serious trouble for it, too. It IS the same thing.
and why the fuck did they have to drag him..... dude this shit is unreal

Christ what an asshole. Taking off a hat in the courtroom (church, school, etc) has its basis in custom, then enshrined in law because it is considered rude and a sign of disrespect to wear a hat indoors. You could argue this is a dumb custom, but those are the rules and many of us still think you act like a douchebag when wearing your cap inside.
tyrgoossens 9 months ago 3
Your argument that the paper thin trucker hat was keeping you warm doesn't fly. The officers can wear hats because its part of their uniform. You were in a goverment building, not your living room. You must abide by their rules. If he would have walked out like a man he wouldn't have been dragged out like a child. Get a real job crybaby.

@Monsterbott Don't be a jackass, that guy wasn't hurting anyone. There was no reason for the cops to handle him the way they did, they were just trying to show off their own authority for a benign and harmless thing. And here you are siding with the guys starting agression over a hat. Those aren't harmless ideas, they just further make people feel like it's "immature" to question the enforcement of victimless crimes.

If no law was broken and he was arrested and assaulted, all those involved in this arrest should be fired and brought up criminal charges themselves. These abuses will continue unless the people committting them are held personally responsible. Let us not hear anymore of the "thin blue line." Most cops today are now mere agents of morally and literally bankrupt governments. It's probably gonna get alot worse before it gets better. He should not comply because the arrest was unlawful.

No it's a phrase.. with a verb in it.

Anglo-French documents to require a person to be brought before a court or judge, especially to determine if that person is being legally detained.From habeas, second person singular present subjunctive of habere "to have, to hold"

Noticed none of the fuckwits who are talking shit about Pete has bothered to address why the hell that po-leece man should be allowed to wear his watch cap in court without being dragged out, arrested and detained indefinitely. Guess they support double standards which favor the tax feeding parasites.

My ex mother in law is a judge in NH and if you wore a hat in her court room i promise she would have you thrown in jail . This guy Pete is a total goof and i just called the police dept and the court and told them to keep him .

It's called contempt of court. It's really, really, really basic law, but you douchebags (and this pathetic fucking bald loser who isn't going to hold another non-burger flipper job for the rest of his life) haven't seen the inside of a law book in your lives. Or any other book, for that matter.

If me and my boys were there, we would have rescued Pete from those buffoons. We'd have put their own handcuffs on them, thrown them into their own jail cells!

You people are really missing the point. This is about power. When did public servants become public masters? The entire episode was to show who is boss. Do you really want unelected bureaucrats arresting people in the name of dick waving? We are half way down the slippery slope and you people are blind to the obvious. "because I said so" is not a reason. These is an arbitrary abuse of power. Some of you have to be seriously retarded.

@blakjak42 Are you so fucking stupid that you're comparing the civil rights movement to this shitdick whining about not wanting to expose his male pattern baldness in court? YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME!
What the hell is wrong with you?

This is so stupid. There would have been a simple solution to the whole problem, taking off the hat. If anarchists whine about police oppression here the guy brought it on himself.

Bald Pete wasn't arrested for wearing a fucking hat. He was arrested for contempt of court. If he wants to make a stand by not taking his hat off in a college classroom because his professor hates him, then fine, be an obnoxious twat there, but show some respect for our courts. I wouldn't even have minded seeing him get tuned up a little bit for being a pussy and not walking like a fucking adult.

What the fuck, George? You can't edit out your stuttering and stammering, but there's an atrocious edit at the end where the cop is wearing his hat? Fuckin rookie. And maybe if bald Pete could stand the fuck up and not be an obnoxious pussy, the cops wouldn't have had to drag him. I haaaate worthless shit-disturbing assholes like bald Pete. Fuck him and fuck you.

Fuck bald Pete for not wanting to show his embarrassing head in court and fuck the whiny douche narrating this crap. Take your fucking hat off in court and stop being a cunt. I hope this asshole's asshole gets widened a few millimeters in jail.

@HogsBigBen ONly a few millimeters? It must be you and your pin dick doing the damage....

@HogsBigBen Fuck Rosa Parks for not moving her butt to the back of the bus, and fuck all of you supporting her. Fucking whiny douches. Move your fucking butt to the back of the bus and stop being a cunt. I hope her... Hmmm... I can't even bring myself to repeat that next line sarcastically.

@blakjak42 There's a fine line between sarcasm and whatever I'd call this, cause I cant tell if you're serious.

@P1RH4NA Sorry, sarcasm doesn't translate well to the page. HogsBigBen got it though, & I was talking to that hater. I repeated back what he said as closely as I could, attempting to point out that the way haters are reacting to this today is how many haters reacted to Rosa Parks at the time. She didn't follow a stupid little rule, and got in serious trouble for it. Pete didn't follow a stupid little rule, and got in serious trouble for it, too. It IS the same thing.
