I shared this video (and Part 2) with a friend who has been railroaded by the legal system (with the assistance of a vindictive ex-wife).

His anger and ignorance of the law always did him in. He was recently held in jail for a week for being approx. $200 behind in child support arrears payments. The kid is an adult in the military now. WTH. I was able to go and get him out with $20 in my pocket. The other two gentleman who appeared on the same day weren't so lucky. Damned shame.

Now he feels armed and empowered if he should face any other legal battles. I took a couple of legal classes in college to learn how to navigate the legal system for myself.

Good stuff, DV.

Her Side said...: Lord knows that's just one incomplete example! He was held for an entire week although you are supposed to be guaranteed a 72-hour (or is it less?) turnaround. Why? Because he was picked-up during a terribly snowy time and the courts were closed due to inclement weather.

WTH??? So how did officers get to him in that weather in the first place? SMH. All over $200???

Anyway, I was about to do my magic research thing on the "72-hour" requirement and raise a real stink. I would have loved to see them paying him. I'm sure it cost the state thousands to harrass an unemployed man for $200 he simply didn't have.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
