Police State

New Zealand Customs officer took all a man's electronic equipment and demanded passwords because he attended a meeting on Snowden's leaks in London.

"The only possibility of why it occurred was his attendance - and tweeting - of a London meeting on mass surveillance sparked by the Snowden revelations, he said.
However, a Customs official has since told him they were searching everything for objectionable material under the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993.

Mr Blackman said he did not have anything of that nature and could not understand why he had been targeted."

Right. His attendance at the meeting was a coincidence.

NSA leaders consider offering amnesty to Snowden to get 1.5 million documents that haven't been released yet back. But they can't get them back. Snowden has already given them away.

Are we supposed to be surprised that congressmen who oversee intelligence receive millions from intelligence companies? This is what government is all about.

Man gets Washington D.C. police to drop speeding camera ticket with simple letter stating the obvious:

"To Whom it May Concern,

I received a letter claiming I committed a violation of a speeding law in the District of Columbia on 04/21/2012. As per the instructions, I am writing to plead ‘not guilty’ to this charge. Although this option is said to result in this matter going to court; it is my suggestion that the charges simply be dropped. This suggestion comes out of respect for tax payers, and my request that their hard earned money not be wasted in such proceedings. As there is no evidence of my involvement with this alleged ‘crime’, as well as the fact that I am not granted my 6th amendment right to face my ‘accuser’ (a camera); I see no way the government could prove my guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. I also see find no legal requirement for me to implicate someone else in this process, as it is the government’s responsibility to prove a person’s guilt. It is also my 5th amendment right to remain silent on the matter.
If it is the government’s decision to move forward in this matter, I would request copies of any evidence the prosecution may have of my involvement in the “offense”; as well as, all maintenance records for the camera(s) involved.
Sincerely,
Nathan Cox
United States Army Veteran"

I hope you don't have to be a veteran to do this.

Government harasses man for Google search, which claims was an auto-complete accident.

Congressmen want to take Obama to court over lawlessness.
