Radley Balko on Mississippi Justice

I'm currently in Indiana with the rest of the crew heading southward back to Jones County Mississippi It's only fitting that we release our interview with Indiana born and raised Radley Balko where he discusses "justice" in the state of Mississippi.

Radley was kind enough to sit down with us while the Motorhome Diaries rolled through Washington, DC. At his blog, http://theagitator.com, Radley covers the intersection of criminal-justice and civil liberties.

Just an idea. Is there a way to outfit your motorhome with "fisheye" cameras and small mics on the outside/inside...with some sort of satellite up load capability to stream the data to a secure spot? So, when pulled over or what not just flip a record switch. I'll donate right now to help get this get this going. You know there are thousands of us out here that will lend a hand in what ever means we can offer...Outfiting, IT, storege, money, and the like. think about it.

I've been video taping & documenting police harassment, obstruction of justice by police officers, high profile attorneys & assistant DA's since 2001. My life was threatened, home burned down, animals killed, thrown in jail over a dozen times and I could go on and on. Just thought I'd share as my mama taught me to! :) God bless!

Lamar County Sheriffs were running one of their Nazi Style checkpoints just this past Thursday.

Blocked a rural road in the middle of the day, stopped every car, and asked to see everyone's papers.

I'm a little surprised that I'm not sitting in one of those county jails right now considering I gave each deputy a "Hail Hitler" salute as I passed on my bicycle.

I like how at the end of the video they put "Let them be" and they had a picture of MARV there next to all the guys' faces. It was a humorous display of personification.
