"How do you know you are doing nothing that could be construed as wrong by some state functionary? How do you know you are not breaking some law somewhere? And why are you so implicitly trusting that your government would never do anything evil with the information it has collected on you?
"This is not purely an academic matter. The practical implications are profound."

How is your free Wordpress blog “News”?
What caused you to excerpt your own blog?
"Just do what we tell you! You will respect my authoritah!"
Interesting. I would imagine in a country of 312 million, there are loads of stories both good and bad of events.
I don’t mind guys doing this. But that’s just me. Now, if he just signed up to do it, that would be very different.
Good cites & links, thanks.
Welcome back — don’t be a stranger!
Loaning your car to someone you know is going to use it to commit a dangerous felony and then going to sleep? Yep, that’s a felony. I can’t seem to feel sorry for Ryan Holle. Some of the other stories are interesting to say the least.
“Now, if he just signed up to do it, that would be very different.”
Looks like he only posts stuff he wrote himself.

Story told of prisoner in Stalin Soviet Union being transported to Siberia.
Guard asked what his sentence was
Prisoner - 25 Yrs
Guard - What did you do to get 25 Yrs?
Prisoner - Nothing! I did Nothing!
Guard You must have done something to get 25 yrs?
Prisoner I did nothing at all
Guard Stop lying to me! For doing nothing only get 10 years ....
Cops are Revenuers for the Welfare State.
I’ve never had one help me when a crime has been committed against me.
I’ve only had them jack me up when I tried my best to follow the law.
Depressing, but eye opening at the same time.
They have been forging the chains for us, for decades now.
May God help keep us free.

I was once stopped for driving on “A known drug highway”. I think he only said that because I asked him what probable cause he had to stop me. He said I was driving erratically, and I said “I was not and wasn’t speeding so why did you stop me?”
The little bustard tried to unholster his gun when I told him I was leaving and only became reasonable when I threatened to call 911.
That’s too true.
The last time I got stopped I was stuck in a line of cars going 40mph in a 55. Cars were piling up and some ding dong deputy got behind me and I got stopped cuz my license plate light was broken. He treated me like a depraved criminal and you could tell he was very upset that I had all my “papers” in order.
In this case there are numerous excellent links that may be hard to repost here?
It is an excellent read, quite eye opening.
It's worth the visit because he did put a lot of work into the article.
Makes you kind of wish you had a stray dog to placate him.
Not hard.
I guess we owe him hits because he is either lazy or ignorant.
And when you reward laziness and ignorance.. you get what?
More of it.
Well played.

Read this list of eight ways people commit felonies without even knowing it.
It's chilling how over criminalized our society has become. Tyranny is developing enveloping our once free Republic.
However, in this case I didn't mind going to the link. It is very well researched and presented.
It's actually worthy of a click because of the valuable information pulled together in once place.
It's not like a normal blog post with the blogger's blatherings -- lol.
