We've posted a lot of videos of checkpoint refusals gone right, but never forgot, when dealing with government agents you're dealing with people who are borderline illiterate and almost never know the specifics of the laws they're tasked to enforce (nor do they care to learn them). Such irrational crazies can, and do, frequently do irrational and crazy things, whic... (more)

Was Heart-Tugging Viral Video Of Generous Homeless Man All A Hoax?
HUNTINGTON BEACH (CBSLA.com) — The viral video of a homeless man buying food for friends with $100 he had been given warmed the hearts of many of the more than 25 million people who clicked on it.
Donations came pouring in for the homeless man named Thomas. More than $130,000 donated from around the globe in about a week.
Josh Paler L... (more) Can't say I'm surprised, I thought it was a scam the second I saw it, it was too perfect. All these YouTubers driven to make viral videos have been pulling scams like this one after another lately. Think the drunk girl who men try to rape video, the cat-calling video made by the scam-artist producer "Rob Bliss" (whom, by the way, some police in Lowell, Michigan hired to make a PR-stunt for themselves). At this point, if you don't assume scam until proven otherwise, you're not paying attention. What surprises me about this is that they're collecting donations off it, $136,749 so far. Collecting donations off a lie is fraud and is criminal, people have been sent to jail for doing similar, claiming they have cancer, etc. For their part, they're still claiming it's real. Obviously, I don't believe them, but I'll admit anything is possible. Of course, this story is only noteworthy because the media ran with it uncritically. - Chris, InfoLib |

PBS NewsHour Covers The Return Of Debtors PrisonsCities across the country are increasingly turning to what are known as private probation companies to collect unpaid fines. But are indigent people ending up in jail because they can't afford to pay? Since NewsHour Weekend's first story on this issue aired last spring, the Childersburg Municipal Court issued a “standing order” stating that “In no case shall an indigent defendant be incarcerated … based solely on his or her inability to pay fines.” But the practice continues elsewhere in the cou... (more) The entire court system in this country exploits the same scam on an even bigger level, i.e. if police and prosecutors charge you with a host of serious crimes the cost of defending yourself can be so prohibitively high it's usually preferable to plead guilty and take a plea deal rather than fight, despite your innocence.
As to the issue of government "privatization," it's a particularly insidious scam. While I support the idea of a private law society in which there is no government, the last thing I want is an efficiently run government. Imagine a world in which every stupid law and every evil politician's whim was actually enforced, it would be an Orwellian nightmare beyond anything Eric Blair nor the most imaginative dystopian writer could dream up.
Think if intellectual property laws were to be efficiently enforced, it would require a total surveillance state and people would be fined and potentially imprisoned for every unauthorized singing of the "happy birthday" song, already restaurants are forbidden from singing it on their own, imagine the same ridiculousness applied to every copyrighted, patented idea in existence, with no escape. - Chris, InfoLib |
