GREENFIELD – The trial of two men who belong to organizations with strong anti-government and anti-law enforcement views is poised to begin Monday in Greenfield District Court, where Adam Mueller and Pete Eyre are facing charges of illegally recording images and conversations with authorities at the Franklin County Jail & House of Correction last July.

Eyre and Mueller, the latter of whom also goes by the alias Ademo Freeman, are self-described “voluntaryists,” or people who believe that government should be abolished and replaced by a completely voluntary society based on the principles of natural law. They also believe that all forms of human association should be voluntary. snip

Cop Block’s website claims the organization is not so much an organization as a “decentralized project,” whose “pro-police accountability mission” includes holding law enforcement officials to the same standards as civilians. “You don’t have any extra rights because you have a badge,” is a catchphrases featured on the site, which includes a fair amount of material bashing and mocking law enforcement officials, in some instances likening them to Nazis and usurpers of civil liberties.

The website also includes links to libertarian and anti-government sites including LibertyStickers.com, which hawks bumper stickers decrying Congress, public education, government unions and global warming, among other hot-button topics commonly lambasted by some conservatives and right-leaning organizations.
