there is only one law, the universal law

This was the video I was looking for. First, I misstated, in Illinois official misconduct covers all this now--there several circumstances. The cop who shot his gun for other cops to hear was charged because he knowingly performed an act which he knew he was forbidden by law to perform: discharging his firearm without authorization. I assume. And your kid pictures had me wondering, for a bit, what the kid had to do with the story. And I really lost track of time looking for this. Shoot!

@newdarnaccount Dave, what have you done? You look much younger in the picture you used in this video. New haircut? You were a cute kid, but why? Also, you know, your libery to spin with your arm out that way ends where someone else's nose begins. :-)

What the legislator described--the current NH law--is called offical misconduct here. And it's felony. Of course, you have to love prosecutors. Sometimes they do goofy things even to cops. Had cop discharge a weapon on a desserted road--so other officers could hear it. WTF? But the state's attorney charged him with official misconduct. Dumb reason to charge someone with felony, IMHO.

@hallmobility Unconstitutional acts ARE specifically covered. "... he knowingly commits an unauthorized act which purports to be an act of his office; ....".

@thanosied You should see the fed representative at these hearings. Some of Dan Itse's laws could get him arrested, and he's steamed.

@Buffalo122333 The official's action or inaction has to be for gain.

Why has no one pointed out the obvious, an officer of the law who refuses to enforce an unconstitutional law would be guilty of this violation.
It may get used against bad cops, it WILL be used against good ones.
That's nice, but I can't really get exited about passing laws. Laws are ultimately enforced by violence, so more laws means more potential use of or threat of violence.

No, I will have to disagree with you on that Ridley.
You're right that I have been here for quite a while and during that time I have seen many, many comments that lead me to believe that the majority of libertarians (or conservatives in general) think that the time for peaceful direct action and resistance is over.
