Two well-known Voluntaryists, Pete Eyre and Ademo Freeman will have their day in court on Monday, July 18, in Greenfield MA.

The pair is facing felony wiretapping, trespassing and resisting charges.

The charges against the Liberty on Tour tandem came a year ago at the Franklin County Jail while attempting to bail out a friend.

As they usually do, the two friends were filming their interaction with the officials as a means of protection and accountability for everyone involved when police officers arrested them without specifying any charges and, in their own words, "were taken to the Greenfield Police Department where we were abused, fingerprinted, photographed, stripped and had our personal possessions stolen from us" and held in a cold cell for over twelve hours.

They were later both charged with the three felony counts while Eyre also received felony firearm/ammo and VIN manipulation charges.
