You do know if you are in The Matrix, you won't be able to leave the country, right?

While "they" may seem omnipotent and untouchable, they are a small sub group in comparison to the whole group.

Their main strength is in the ability to muster massive force in concentrated areas, then publicize it as if it was much larger.

This is like a giant being able to step on a few snakes at a time in a snake pit.

Also the main reason for the push for drones, they will be able to effectively automate surveillance.

LMFAO that you're just now figuring this out.

You have been a slave for years, IF you want to legally leave, you must obtain permission LOL

VISA/PASSPORT

And while I don't agree with the charge, the man was convicted and given probation.
The law needs to change, but until it does ... Oh freak'n well ... Another Darwin award for being dumb.

I just biked 160 miles on a rugged trail through mountains, beaches, and abandoned railroads this weekend with 80 lbs of gear averaging 10mph. I can also travel up to 50 miles/day by kayak on virtually any river, lake, ocean, or creek with a depth of at least 4 inches carrying up to 250 lbs of gear. I can walk/jog with 30 lbs of gear as much as 40 miles/day.

If I decide to leave, no one can stop me.

Yes , where I live , 240 years ago , all travel was by waterway.

 

[ProIndividual]

Did I read the OP correctly that the man tried to leave the country while on parole? I'm pretty sure that parole conditions always require one to remain within a certain area for the duration of the parole. The alternative is to serve the rest of the sentence in jail.

That depends. In most States it's "you can't leavethe State"...but, most are using unConstitutional Post Release Control after full sentences are served...which is considered parole, but is really just tyranny. Our State ruled unConstitutional according to even our State Constitution over a decade ago...yet it hasn't stopped.

Obvious missed point is obvious.

It is not any surprise to anybody here, and it is common knowledge that, yes, permission was always needed to leave the state, at least for the last hundred years or so, roughly.

What is different is that the state is no longer a bumbling, inefficient shuffler of outdated papers and missing files.

The state is now commanding an exponentially increasing database of every person and every infraction ever.

It can access it with lightening speed and pin you down in a matter of minutes.

The state is becoming increasingly efficient, rapid and punctual, which is, of course, a hallmark of many authoritarian regimes, and why they appeal to those of a certain mindset, who would prefer order and that the 'trains run on time", rather than the often chaotic and inefficient hubbub of freedom.

I'll need an address please and I promise to keep up and not slow you down when the time comes to leave.

Can you make that fresh food taste good?

There is no way to make skunk cabbage good. Most other things, yes, I can make them at least tolerable. Even cattails.

I prefer the bumbling , ineffecient , shuffler of outdated papers and missing files ,works much better for me....what is it that needs done to return to that ?? No electricity for them ??

Timing is EVERYTHING Jack , it has screwed me up a few times too . I will not cry over spilled milk , but , I do like the blues . I know of only one thing that eats swamp apples and skunk cabbage.

Do I get extra points for foraging ability? I know all the edible plants within 500 miles of my home and how to prepare them, and know how to make snares and traps using only a pocket knife. I am also a competent archer, and slinger even knowing how to fashion them from local woods and fibers in the event my .22 breaks beyond repair or I run out of ammo.

Some skills obtained from the old guide who lived a few miles up the road from me as a child. Some learned through my current job as a professional trapper, and Some learned through Army scout leadership, cold weather leadership, and survival evasion resistance and escape schools.

Our bugout plan has us going to a compound about 2hrs West of Ft. Worth on 188 acres of land defendable from 3 directions with a natural spring running thru the property. the surrounding property owners are also like-minded semi preppers. We'd love to have you join our compound if you're in Texas.

 

[Danke]

A "compound" in Texas...doesn't sound safe.

A fixed position? No thanks. If I go on the run, I'm either out of the country or I stay on the run. My bugout plan has Three US based R&R (restock and recover) positions that I will stay as long as they are not targetted, but I have no intention of defending them against anything worse than a small gang of looters.

A "compound" in Texas...doesn't sound safe.

Exactly.

So is Lifelock, the credit bureau, medical advancements, access to DNA evidence, etcetera.

Are you afraid of these advances ?

I think you missed the point. Here's an example of the point AF was making:

1) Type Name into Auto-magical Warrant Generator
2) Auto-magical Warrant Generator does:
a) Retrieves a list of keywords, criteria, & auto-magical selectors
b) Cross-references these instantly with your
i) Water bill
ii) Electric bill
iii) Internet bill
iv) Phone bill
v) Credit card bill
vi) Bank statement
vii) Text Messages
viii) Search history
ix) Emails
x) Previous arrests / Criminal history
xi) Unpaid tickets
xii) International travel history
xiii) Some other things I've surely forgotten
xiv) All of the above for all of the other residents in your domicile, & previous residents of your domicile, and all of your acquaintances
3) Bam! On-demand instant warrant. Score one for the good guys! (the cops, obviously!)

So some people are afraid that they might be picked up for an out-of-state warrant ?

The guy in the OP was on parole, and the system nailed him for violating a condition of his parole.

What next ?
Do away with the system that also catches deadbeat dads, who flee their responsibility to the family they helped create ?

Move away from the marijuana laws, and look at the picture, again.

Wanted for murder ?
Felonious Assault ?
The list is endless, and it is catching criminals of all types via a cross-reference.

Can't catch the baby raper, because they crossed a state line ... Is that what you advocate for ?
