Donald Trump is the authoritarian socialist president that Republicans used to warn about.

As the Declaration of independence rightly says, governments exist to secure our rights, not provide us with products and services coercively taken from others (thereby violating their rights).

🚨🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge Rules a Flock Search Was ‘Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance’ and Unconstitutional
-----

As in the Supreme Court case Carpenter v. United States, the Federal court found that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their movements and that Flock violated those rights.

This is a victory for us.

Yes, we want to remove the cameras altogether, and we will keep working to do so, but if the courts want to impose additional restrictions on their use in the meantime, that can only be a good thing.

👮‍♂️Officer cites a pedestrian under a driver’s-license law — ticket later voided as “issued in error”.

June 20, 2017, Arlington, Jacksonville:
21-year-old Devonte Shipman films JSO Officer J.S. Bolen stopping him and a friend for crossing against the pedestrian signal.

Bolen orders them to the car, threatens jail for “disobeying a direct order” and “resisting without violence,” then cites Shipman for no ID under a statute that only applies to drivers.

That ticket was later voided as issued in error. The jaywalking citation stood and was upheld.

Three cars for a crosswalk stop.

Shipman stayed calm and kept recording.

❓Had he not fought the charges would the ticket still have been voided as “issued in error” or would they have accepted an erroneous guilty plea and the money for the fine?

❓Why sternly order someone around like he did, "get over to the patrol car", over a pedestrian signal?

In or out of context, the man is a buffoon.

When they say, "Flock is just a license plate reader."

And yes, private companies are already offering to add facial recognition to the Flock system for local police departments.

Bassist Tim Commerford confessed that at first he thought "Like a Stone" was a romantic song and only understood the real meaning when Cornell explained it! It was the second single from Audioslave's debut album and became the band's biggest hit: #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts, #31 on the Hot 100 and is, to date, the most streamed track of Chris Cornell's entire career (over 1 billion plays on Spotify).

The video, directed by Meiert Avis, was shot at Jimi Hendrix's former mansion in Los Angeles, the same place where Hendrix composed "Purple Haze"!

🚨 MILTON FRIEDMAN (1978): Young lawyer asked Milton about when it is okay for a Govt to force a free citizen to act.

Did you get the nuance in Milton's question about the difference between "society" and "govt"...

Do you think a man should be free to sin?
