repeat coming up in a few minutes

Talked about drug laws, prostitution, the EPA ruining people, ridiculous regulations, and just a bunch of other BS stuff that is illegal.

And that's just the stuff you know about.

There are literally millions of pages of laws, rules, codes, regulations, edicts and proclamations on the books right now.

There is no way any human being can know all of them, and not run afoul of some of them.

Nobody has paid it any mind in the past, because to enforce them, you would have to watch people 24/7.

That is now changing, as the surveillance grid comes online.

yeah, there was some guy making that very point, how we are all breaking multiple laws every day that we don't even know about, and you can be nailed at any time for it. I've heard somewhere before that the average person commits 3 felonies a day, don't know if that is true or not.

About the special in general, I think it contains some clips from previous Stossel specials, but as a whole it is brand new with some new material probably.

 

[Beorn]

VA farmer Joel Salatin is on!

 

[Restore America Now]

Hoping that the Stossel guy on Pirate Bay will have this up.

 

[jct74]

just had a long segment on recording the police. I've seen almost all those clips on RPF already. showed Pete Eyre from Motorhome Diaries getting harassed by police in his motorhome. there was also a segment on raw milk earlier.

talking to LEAP officer now, showing that clip of Columbia cops breaking down door, shooting dog.

Three Felonies a Day is the story of how citizens from all walks of life—doctors, accountants, businessmen, political activists, and others—have found themselves the targets of federal prosecutions, despite sensibly believing that they did nothing wrong, broke no laws, and harmed not a single person. From the perspective of both a legal practitioner who has represented the wrongfully-accused, and of a legal observer who has written about these trends for the past four decades, Three Felonies a Day brings home how individual liberty is threatened by zealous crusades from the Department of Justice. Even the most intelligent and informed citizen (including lawyers and judges, for that matter) cannot predict with any reasonable assurance whether a wide range of seemingly ordinary activities might be regarded by federal prosecutors as felonies.

Only question I have is the one guy who had been selling lobster tails for thirteen years and the feds put him away for six years out of a more than eight year sentence ,for lobster being in bags and not boxes. What kind of prosecutor or judge would take that , and give that ? I would take that as a personal declaration of war on me by them and would have to continually retaliate until the end of time , just out of principle.
