Albany, NY — A man practicing his first amendment right to film in public was stopped on Friday by a New York state trooper who attempted to violate his rights.
Instead of knowing the law, trooper Fougere of the New York State Police demanded that the man filming identify himself. However, in New York, if an officer demands that you identify yourself, that officer must have reason to believe you have committed a crime, are about to commit a crime, or have evidence of a crime that was committed.
Trooper Fougere lacked all of this criteria, which made his detainment and subsequent …read more

The Arkansas Libertarian Party expects to file a lawsuit against the new law (passed in 2015) that says it must choose all its nominees by November 2015 for the election that is a year away. The Libertarian Party nominates by convention for the 2016 election. The two major parties nominate for all office in March 2016, in a primary, so the law’s timing is highly discriminatory. No state in U.S. history, until now, has ever required any type of party to choose all its nominees in the odd year before the election year. It is difficult …read more

On September 25, the Florida Republican Party passed some new barriers to entry onto the party’s presidential primary ballot. Either the candidates attend a fundraising event for the party in Orlando November 13-14; or they must pay the party $25,000; or they must submit 125 signatures of registered Republicans from each of the 27 U.S. House districts.
Florida election law says the sole control over who can get on the Republican presidential primary is exercised by the state party. In the past, the Republican Party always routinely put all Republican candidates on the primary ballot if they were discussed …read more

How many of your friends know U.S. assisted ISIS? Would knowing change opinion on overseas meddling? Tell us! Retweet

Earlier this week, we asked your opinion: How much does the media control what people think? We appreciate your feedback. Most of you agreed that…

According to a recent study, counties that ban the sale of alcohol have a higher rate of meth crime than counties where booze is legal. Researchers at the University of Louisville determined that if all dry counties in the state permitted the sale of alcohol, the total number of meth lab seizures in Kentucky would decline by about 25%.
In a paper titled “Breaking Bad: Are Meth Labs Justified in Dry Counties?” researchers at the University of Louisville found that over a fourth of the …read more

Alpharetta, GA — Atlanta police officer Scott Perry was arrested by Alpharetta police this Saturday night after he caused a scene at a hotel restaurant and became aggressive with a number of female patrons.

Each time Perry was strongly rejected, and in most cases the women were actually there with their significant others. In one case, Genesco Carvalhais had chased after Perry to retrieve the food for his significant other, and when he confronted Perry, the off-duty …read more
