Not persuaded by my argument, the supervisor told me to submit or he would have me arrested. I asked what law I was allegedly violating. He said refusal to submit to federal authority. I replied that I thought there were less intrusive alternatives. He said “No,” and once again demanded that I submit. I declined, so he brought over his superior and three Sheriff’s deputies.

At this point, I would have asked them to cite the charge against me, chapter and verse. And show it to me from an authoritative source.

And if they insisted, I would have asked each one of them to write their name and badge number on a piece of paper, so that my lawyer would know exactly who each of them were.

When I was done, I might have an arrest record. But, I'd be rich enough to retire.

My first thought was I know the number to my attorney since she is a good friend. She would have given them an earful and we would have seen them in court (all of them)!

Do you know any lawyers? You should have said “you will not touch me without my lawyer being present.”

Then called a lawyer.

You assume you'll find a lawyer to handle your case... and that you'd win.

If it was that simple there would already be cases pending.
