*** Video notes

November 22nd 2008, day 199 / Beautiful snow / Backward footsteps / Detained by police for 2nd time on Walk For Liberty, in Seneca Falls, NY / Got audio of most of the encounter / Didn't really feel like challenging him or messing with him since I had just learned our RV would be stuck in town for at least the weekend after breaking down / I did ask him if I was being detained, and he said I was / He gets firm at first question from me / Warrant search / Paranoid person had called in / Cop trying to justify himself / Cop admitted I hadn't done anything wrong, but yet continued to detain me! / Do cops have an obligation to investigate all complaints against someone? / Detainment under threat of violence / Do people realize that calling the cops to investigate someone is initiating force on them? / Does the fact that you feel uncomfortable give you the right to initiate force on someone? / Do you have the right not to feel uncomfortable, or to have the state help you to stay comfortable? / Filming something is not initiating force / Slippery slope of using the state to initiate force based on someone's emotions / 9/11 is the government's tired old excuse for exerting more control on people due to the "terrorist threat" / The state making people paranoid / 21.39 miles for liberty / http://Amazon.WalkForLiberty.com / Area Speed Limit / Cayuga Indian Reservation

*** About the Walk For Liberty

What are you willing to do for freedom?

Vote? Protest? Participate in a rally? Walk all the way across the country?

We are.

This summer, a group of activists will be walking across America to achieve more freedom and liberty.

Our pioneer forefathers trekked across the continent from the east to the west to find a better life for themselves. This time, we're doing it in reverse.

I am walking coast-to-coast across the country, from Oregon to New Hampshire. I am joined by my immediate family as well. We're on a quest to gain more freedom for ourselves and for our country by spreading the message of freedom and liberty along the way.

Why are we doing this?

We see the gradual chipping away at freedoms in America, and want to do our part to stop it. My wife and I are moving to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. New Hampshire is already the freest state in the country, which is why we are moving there. But we also want to help bring more freedom to as many other people as possible.

Therefore we are walking across America to get to New Hampshire. We are walking all the way there to bring as much media attention and publicity as possible to two liberty-oriented causes: the Free State Project, which is working to make New Hampshire even more free, and Ron Paul's message of freedom for everyone.

They like it when the Big Govenment babies them.

A leisurely walk across the country leads to 2 police encounters and detainment.

Priceless.

Please don't walk through Washington D.C.

I meant "you're" above.

I guess if your going to walk on mafia streets expect to see a couple of their goons along the way.

"The cop asked me for my ID, so I gave him a business card and told him to check out my videos."

LOL

[LibertyOrBust]

I'm matching donations to the Walk For Liberty.

Donate through Sunday 12/9 at midnight EST and I will match it up to a total of $250. The chip-in at "donate.walkforliberty" is currently $30 so anything above that up to $280 I will match. Only have $5? That's $10, $10? it's $20.

Lets put a few bucks in their pockets for the NH arrival. I will match donations through Sunday 12/9 at midnight.

i told you so!!!! I knew you'd get stopped again. I would go out on a limb and say you might even get stopped one more time, but thats not really going out on a limb is it? it's 75 here today and gas is $1.60. it cost $11 to fill up the geo....yippie!!!!!! and now they're taking more of my money to pay kids to get good grades in Chicago, pay overpaid union workers who make 2-3 times more than me and the 6 figure salaries of corporate execs who couldn't figure to get rid of their jets (toys)

[banemaler]

Getting chilly, hope you get there soon.
