Many people just bend over and take up the a$$ when it comes to government snooping, but to be fair I did once too. Yesterday, I got stopped by the police, because I didn't keep my car registration currant(didn't pay government imposed taxes, give me a break mr.boys scout cop). Anyway I used it as a occasion to teach this young man a few lessons in "civil liberties", and get chatty about my views(semi-captive audience),and why not he's invadeding my space.
He stopped me in a residential neighbor hood at night with almost no traffic on the street. So I turned up the volume of my CD player(with a big amp.) which was playing one of my favorite songs "Hood Nigga" which makes my whole car shake(big amp). He came around to my passenger side, I reached over and locked the door as he shined the flashlight through the passangers side glass and asked me to open the door, well I then turned down the volume and told him, "fuck that shit I ain't opening up no door, it stays locked my freind I know my rights, you got a fucking search warrent?" He asked me again I said fuck no and rolled up the window on my door pulled my keys out of the ignition got out of the car and locked that door so he couldn't get in and search it.
He got a little nervous and sorta order me in back in the car, I told he no I want to stay right here. I eventually went back into the car to get my registration, but I told him to stay the fuck out of my car, and that I'm a memebr of "Civil Liberties" and will not let him interfear with my constitutional rights and preform an illegal search, he asked me If I was was on parole I told him "fuck,, you look it up you got my drivers licence"(like he wasn't going to do a seach anyway, I'm not stupid). He held me up for about 1/2hour and I was able to give him a more detailed lecture in the process, I got a $10 ticket(could have gotten way more I got lots of violations naughty me), and he stopped acting so intrucive of my privacy, and started to be more repectful in the way he delt with me.
I know a lot of people would feel I acted wrongly, me I had reached my limit of what kind of bullshit I'm willing to take from the state, and it's enforcers years ago, and vowed a new approach to such bullshit handed out by those empowered by the state to take away liberties.
BTW the cop said he became suspious when I refused to let him search my car, I told him, "even if it made you suspicious, it would never hold up in court as a cause to deny me my "civil liberties" and do a search without my consent, and I want to let you know how strongly I feel about this, and since I'm an Anarchist in ideology, I'm all for takeing away power from the "state" and giving it back tho the people, just so you know what you are dealling with here."
The more people that stand up to the state and make it more and more unprofitable, or unpopular, and give less cooperation when our rights are violated the better, resistence is a good thing, in many cases.
