@BaconOverlord @jeremykauffman God bless you.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Your screenshot is from an AI search, and it's a) clearly pulling from an outdated version of the law and b) factually incorrect in other ways (New Hampshire has never had a "proof of insurance" requirement during traffic stops, for instance, because auto insurance is not required by law here).

Here's the pre-2019 version of 594:2:

https://t.co/KO7QmPNcn5

This version states: "A peace officer may stop any person abroad whom he has reason to suspect is committing, has committed or is about to commit a crime, and may demand of him his name, address, business abroad and where he is going."

Note that it still doesn't require anyone to present a physical ID.

The law was changed in 2019 to read:

"A peace officer may stop any person whom the officer has reason to suspect is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a crime. An officer may request the person's name and address, but the officer shall not arrest the person based solely on the person's refusal to provide such information."

In the video, the police arrest Kaufmann solely for not providing a physical ID fast enough to suit them. No other reason is given for the arrest.

You're also conflating "detain" and "arrest". They're not the same thing. Yes, police can detain you in New Hampshire if they suspect you of committing a crime. The law is clear that they cannot arrest you for declining to provide ID while detained.

Also, your manners are bad.

@BaconOverlord @jeremykauffman No. Here's a link to the relevant New Hampshire law: https://t.co/nvKzDN1pz0

If you have a link to back up your claim, I'll be happy to read it.

@ChristianHeiens The only author I know of whose work consistently embodied this theme was H. Beam Piper. A great shame that he died before his time.

@elonmusk I love Grokipedia. Could the "trending" list be made more family-friendly, though? I want my kids to be able to use the site to research school projects, but I don't feel comfortable with them getting a Pornhub recommendation first crack out of the box.

@JesseKellyDC They keep saying stuff like this, and they're going to create a situation where the Right decides that we just can't afford to have any more elections.

@robbystarbuck @KevinMc96551138 All of which to say is that this strategy is already working in New Hampshire, and I'd love to see more of it.

The NH state government has had a Republican trifecta for 8 of the last 10 years. (Dems had a majority in the NH House and Senate from 2018-2020; Governor remained Republican.)

I'm not sure why our federal representation is so bad, but it's not at all reflective of the state. Good, important bills get signed into law every year in support of homeschooling, gun rights, election integrity, etc.

I moved here in 2006, and the state is a lot freer today. That's largely due to the efforts of Free State Project movers and their allies, many of whom now serve in the State Legislature (including our current House Majority Leader).

https://t.co/jWT8aoAG1h has a great list of pro-liberty laws passed in NH from 2009 to present.

@NHSHCommenter @Granger4NH @FallRiverReport Ridiculous. NH state reps get paid $100 per year. Absolutely everyone who serves in the State House could be making a lot more money doing something else. They serve anyway because they're willing to make the sacrifice to keep the state moving in the right direction.

@NHSHCommenter @Granger4NH @FallRiverReport @NHSHCommenter If you think you can do better, run for office and make it happen.

@Granger4NH Thanks for being the man in the arena.

One last thought on this: I think my single favorite thing about living in New Hampshire, more than any specific policy, is the feeling of momentum being on the side of the good guys.

This is kind of hard to quantify or capture in a score/list, but here's what I mean: when I left Virginia in 2006, it was getting less free every year. I arrived in NH and it seemed like things were okay for the time being, but there were also a lot of people in the state government trying to turn us into Massachusetts. Every year, some Democrat in the Legislature would bring up and income tax bill or a mandatory seatbelt bill or a red-light camera bill, and the good guys would just barely defeat it.

That changed. More Free Staters moved in. They started getting elected to the State House, then to the State Senate. Today, maybe 25% of our State Representatives are either Free State movers or fellow travelers. Jason Osborne, our House Majority Leader, is a mover.

Now, I can't even remember the last time the Communists bothered to bring up a seatbelt bill or an income tax bill. If anyone did, the Democrats themselves would axe it without ceremony to avoid losing the next election, and none of them have time for that anyway -- they're too busy fighting school choice expansion, tax reductions, voter ID requirements, etc., etc.

Ever since I started paying attention to politics, it always seemed to be the same story: every year, the bad guys would flood the zone with a dozen different goshawful Commie proposals, and we'd stop three if we were lucky. Then they'd bring those three back the next year along with nine new ones.

Living in NH has completely flipped that script. Now it's the freedom people pushing through more and more wins every year while the left complains about it. Not only is it a fresh, clean feeling that the whole family can enjoy, I think it's also energized our side to get more involved and rack up more victories. After all, it's a lot more fun to fight when you know you can win. It's tough to put a price on that.

@Porcu9ine @THORSLIGHTNIN @LPNH @grok Other things I love about NH: no state income tax, no state sales tax, restriction-free Constitutional Carry since 2017, raw milk is legal, great homeschooling freedom with a vibrant homeschooling community.

@sarahadams When they say "this" FBI, they mean "the Trump FBI".

The whole point of the post is that we shouldn't trust the stuff that the Biden FBI said about Crooks.

The Community Note on this one is just way off.

Proud to say that my church, the Zeal Movement in Manchester, NH, met the moment perfectly. Pastor Phil Tuttle played a very moving video of Charlie and spoke to how God wants us to act in moments like these.

He also pointed out that when both Jesus and Stephen were martyred, there were many who celebrated their deaths. It reminded me that there is nothing new under the sun, and that God will triumph over the evil we see today just as He has done in the past.

I have never been more thankful for my church community, and I hope this encourages you too @Will_Tanner_1 .
