If you are 21 or older, think twice before a breathalyzer!


I’m not a lawyer, so this is in no way legal advice.

Fortunately, I’ve never found myself in a breathalyzer situation, but it is always good to be prepared. If you are 21+ years old, you should always think twice before taking a breathalyzer test and demand that the police take you back to the station for a blood test. At the very least, pay attention to what the cops are doing with their hands on the machine. See this video for all the proof you need.

Be warned, refusing the breathalyzer may get your license suspended in many locales, including my dear, nearsighted Kansas. I’m not a lawyer, so this is in no way legal advice. It is just one citizen showing other citizens how to fight police corruption and stupidity.

Quotable: Eric Arthur Blair

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength…Eric Arthur Blair
AKA George Orwell (from 1984)

It is George Orwell’s birthday today and his words have never rung truer. He would have been 106.

Thanks for the reminder, @tmorello!

KopBusters: honestly, the pinnacle of reality television

Bad cops, bad cops, whatcha gonna do?

From the KopBuster’s site, which has crashed due to heavy traffic:

KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana. When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house.

The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster’s attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster’s secret mobile office nearby.KopBusters

This is spectacular! Honestly, a revolutionary idea. Kudos, KopBusters! After the jump, view the raw footage of the Odessa police illegally entering the house.
