Recently a few of my friends were arrested for trespassing on public property, sounds silly right? What’s also silly is the comment I got from one of the arresting Cheshire County Sheriffs. See edited video above or raw video below.
It’s sad to hear so many officers say things are fine and believe those who have issue with government services – like myself – should move to another (governed) land.
What do you think? Are activists over reacting or do the police really freak you out? Should people move to save their neighborhoods or move and create new ones?

The only real crime to the men in blue….contempt of cop.
When you show me a pay stub that you Adam pay taxes then you might have a say,,,,
And I disagree, this country does not need you, I don’t know how you came up with that thought, because I didn’t vote for you to be here or speak for me…
Dan, I wasn’t speaking for you.
And how does anyone avoid paying taxes? Sure some can avoid paying income taxes or cheat on what they actually made but no one can avoid sales tax, gas taxes or increased prices due to some sort of government tax. If you need proof of that just look around my friend.
When are you going to grow up Ademo? I am glad you put these silly videos on here to prove how childish you are. You don’t talk for me. When is your trial for wiretapping? Maybe you can spend all your time with Bubba after the trial and think of all these silly videos you wasted your time on then.
@ Dan, so this Ademo fellow is not allowed to express himself because he may or may not pay taxes and because you didn’t vote for him? lolwut? I disagree, this country needs more people like this Ademo fellow.
Dan, I’m happy that you’re willingly voting for your new slave master every few years.
@Bob, I would ask you the same thing, but it’s pointless. I must’ve missed where this Ademo guy said he spoke for you. I like how you think it’s acceptable to for the police to use force on a guy that’s wearing a hat in a courtroom and arresting him for that. I doubt the guy in that part of the video ever signed or consented to some policy that forbids him from wearing a hat in public. Doesn’t it ever bother you, that there are all these laws put into place that you’ve never signed yourself or consented to? It bothers me.
I enjoy how you bring up this guy’s legal issues in a way to try to dismiss him. Wiretapping? I bet he was arrested for filming a cop. How often do you kneel before your slave masters?
Another Ademo classic. Great dramatic effect man. Loved it!
Gas taxes typically go for roads, sales taxes to not, generally, go for public safety…again Adam, you don’t pay their salaries, just admit it.
In fact, you don’t pay any state or federal income or payroll taxes.
Ademo: Igues I get some of your point but I’m not sure it’s quite n target. Should you say…be allowed to get up with a bunch your friends and decide to go downtown, grab some coffee and just sit down in a circle on the sidewalk and block e eryone’s path? It’s public property right? How about just strolling in the local elementary school at noon and walking into the cafeteria for lunch? Public school right? And why not just drive MARV down to the park and pull up on the baseball field to camp overnight. Your tax dollars paid for it right?
NO. There are rules to keep order. Public spaces have specific designations (some do/some don’t). The baseball field is for baseball, nor for MARV parking. The sidewalk is for EVERYONE. Not just you and your friends. The courthouse filming issue is silly, on both sides. But the court is just reacting to YOUR actions. If all you would do is film, that would have been OK. But instead you wanted to film staged demonstrations in the courtroom. Why should they allow that? Just because it’s a public space (taxpayer paid for) but should you be able to stroll in and pitch a tent for the weekend (according to you, it is yours after all).
As for those that got arrested, they KNEW going in that what they were gong to risk arrest. they made a FREE WILL CHOICE to go outside the law, for whatever reason. So they knew it going in, they made a free will choice, and now there mad about it?? That’s stupid.
As for the deputy, why exactly do you think he has to stand there and engage in conversation with you? The is a consensual contact. If he de ides not to consent to it, it’s OK. I wouldn’t stand and listen to that crap either.
I actually like the ‘concept’ of this site. Film the police. Cool. It’s the a give interference that I don’t like.
@T
WELL PUT
Taxes are taxes. If you pay a tax that goes to the road, you’re easing the government’s expenses with your contribution, which makes it easier for them to invest in law enforcement, continuous war, bailouts etc. You are helping fund the government, and the police are the basis of government. It makes little difference if your money goes directly to the police or directly the police’s boss.
But here’s my two cents on the story. People are so desensitized to being mistreated, that a cop simply being a jerk doesn’t affect them. Since it’s so unoffensive, they’re better able to rationalize the officer’s actions and place the blame upon you, which is counter to your goals. If this tactic isn’t working, then it’s time to change tactics.
That being said, perhaps sticking to bigger stories, like police brutality, will better shock people enough to make them question their absolute obedience to authority, which is your group’s goal.
Good article, Ademo.
Keep them coming.
Some LEOs like Bob in this thread feel very frustrated and threatened about CopBlock that they need to spend hours on this site to troll any serious discussion. ;)
They just hate having to be accountable to citizens… their employer.
@ Adam
“no one can avoid sales tax”
I do belive that in the state of NH there are no sales tax, and i am almost possitive that
Sorry Accountability but I am not an LEO
@ Adam
What I also wanted to add was that it’s my understanding that you do not own a home or a vehicle, so that means you probably don’t pay NH property or excises tax in the state of NH. Now back to your statement “sick of paying your salary” if my math is correct you don’t really contribute a dime to these so called salaries/ system , So,, you have no say.. Also, you made a statement on “ people voluntarily pay you”. Well as I see it most of the cop block people really don’t have time for jobs. So how would that work?
Great work Ademo! Saw a shout out to Copblock on John Stossel’s “Illegal Everything”. Never mind the haters, the liberty movement is growing healthily thanks to people like you. The work and others do is appreciated by a lot of people out there. ;)
You walk up to a cop, stuff a camera in his face. Talk in a negative accusative tone.. And he decides to throw some additude back at you? Please tell me how his actions would differ from anyone else you would approach in this manner? Pick another profession and walk up to an employee and talk in the same tone, 20 bucks says their reaction is a bit more than offering a quarter and leaving.
maybe if you didn’t run your trap looking for trouble and actually spoke these people like they are real people that probably know they have a crappy ass job but that crap ass job pays the bills and fees that family. If any thing your going to be arrested for harrassment and handed a court summons for criminal trespass because you decide to spend your day being morons with no purpose
Im so glad that there are so many cameras around these days. Big brother is now being watched and they hate it, so be it. Everyone knows that America has a bad reputation in the way it polices its citizens, as well as other countries but thats not what copblock is about. Its about highlighting breaches of human rights, dignity, privacy, and showing a level of respect that should be maintained.
I dont believe cops start off bad, I think in time they get worn down and take ‘the easy way out’ by becoming…
