From Slashdot -- NH Man Arrested For Videotaping Police.. Again --

Quote
Back in 2006, a resident of New Hampshire's second largest city was arrested while at the police station attempting to file a complaint against officers.  His crime?  He had video tape evidence of the officers' wrongdoings.  According to the police, that's wiretapping.  After world wide attention, the police dropped the charges.  His complaint was found to be valid, but the evidence never saw the light of day.

Well, guess what?  Round two.

There are differing reports, but again the police arrested Mr. Gannon and again, they seized his video camera.  This time it's "falsifying evidence" because he tried to hand off the camera, most likely to protect its contents.  If there's the potential of police wrongdoing, how is it that the law permits the police to seize the evidence?

(I guess this is the thread where I/we post liberty-related /. stories...)


From Slashdot, coverage of a smarter FSP alternative (someday, if you can afford it) -- Paypal Founder Helping Build Artificial Island Nations --

Quote
MadMartigan2001 writes with a pretty crazy article on a project involving floating libertarian paradises.  From the article:

"PayPal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create floating libertarian countries in international waters.  Thiel has been a big backer of the Seasteading Institute [WP], which seeks to build sovereign nations on oil rig-like platforms to occupy waters beyond the reach of law-of-the-sea treaties."


(The new $1.25 mil follows up on Thiel's 2008 donation of $0.5 mi.)


Almost makes me want to start using Facebook...  almost...   Roll Eyes

It kills me that this guy is going to spend $1.25 million to, at the end of the day, not actually have a floating island libertopia.

Half that amount spent wisely on NH political activism alone would put libertarians in firm control of the NH house, senate, governorship, and executive council!

I'm dead serious, by the way.

By giving each non-libertarian in New Hampshire $0.50 to go away?   Evil
