4. When's the next piece of legislation coming out to ban cameras on cellphones?
Edited on Wed Jul-16-08 06:44 PM by BushDespiser12
The police state becomes ever more concerned at having their transgressions recorded. Geez, I wonder why... Guilty consciences seem to abound.

36. They've already done that in the school district I live in. Cameras and cell lphones with
cameras are banned from school. A student can get a two-day suspension for disobeying that ban.

Most school personnel are ignoring that ban. The students have been told that they can have the cameras and cell phones with cameras as long as they keep them in their backpacks...

Their ostensensible reason is that students could use the cameras to cheat by taking photos of tests and passing them on.

However, there have been instances where students have caught questionable tactics and behaviors by school personnel and resource officers in other states.

I have to wonder just how much that knowledge played into the vote by the school board. With no photos or video to back up the student, it would be harder to prove a student's case.

9. Yes
He saw a cop hassling a guy and he started taking pictures. And the cop called in backup and went berserk.

15. SOP folks, and it's been going on for years now.
The less exposure I have to any police agency in DC, the better.

You will be detained, you will be charged, but at no time will you be told you are under arrest - no matter how many times you ask. It happened to me in January.

Fast and loose doesn't begin to describe how they do it in DC.

27. Yes there's that too
I first met Adam when he was being threatened with dishonorable discharge. I told him some of my peace movement friends wanted to know who his congressional rep was (so they could contact the rep and plea Adam's case).

Adam said "tell your friends ALL of them represent me - and them too".

Great things await Adam Kokesh.

28. u go Adam!
love this guy... I wish he was my man (this boy's fantasy!), because he's so for the truth and for rights and for getting the word out by posting these things.

What's funny, is now the jerk who had the EASY assignment of tailing Kokesh around (because Adam's not a effing terrorist) now will get reassigned since Adam knows his face, and he's been shown on youtube - and a NEW undercover guy will be following him...

if any of you don't think they actually would use 50 grand a year to cover this ONE guy, guess again, it's the essence of Gov't waste! Remember them putting people in the peace groups back years ago??? Spying on citizens who are trying to make Gov't clear and open is their favorite thing...

GOD BLESS YOU, ADAM!

thanks proud2Blib for posting this! :)

30. Nice job Kokesh!! K&R!!.....
I remember that vid a few months ago, or maybe longer, where this guy driving in the US was stopped at a "checkpoint" and he refused to cooperate. He just kept asking: "am I being detained". Since then a number of people have used this tactic. It is a great way of fighting against the police state.

31. I'm still trying to figure out what he did wrong
except for driving down the road in between a suspect's vehicle and the FBI whack job that was tailing the other car. I see nothing, absolutely nothing he or his friend did wrong.

32. It looks as if they're staking out his house -
there is another video of him confronting the police at home, and gee, coincidentally one of them is the same cop who handcuffed him in this video earlier in the day. It's on Adam's blog - http://kokesh.blogspot.com/

33. What did he do? The red car cover story doesn't really fly
Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 01:29 PM by TornadoTN
I think, judging by what has been said and documented, that this agent was following Kokesh. That brings another dimension and frankly, even more troubling idea - why would they be following Kokesh?

*edited to add - there's even more to this story! Look at this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CJAtVfvOpc&watch_response More officers - even the one who arrested him - on his street corner the very next day.

35. Yeah, this whole thing seems a litte *too* coincidental for my taste
It wouldn't surprise me in the least that the police, at someones behest, are putting these veterans under surveillance. At this stage, I think we should expect it and be ready to combat it within the legal system.

Beyond that, I'm taken back with the police not doing their homework on who they were supposed to be surveiling. Kokesh isn't one to back down and knows what his legal rights are - he isn't just going to stand by and be intimidated by this behavior. For them to confront him like they did in the OP's video just shows how reckless and haphazard they are conducting themselves.

Good for Kokesh and good for all of the vets out there who aren't standing by and towing the line that they are supposedly supposed to follow.
