Jailed for exercising the right to remain silent

People who just can't get enough of the authoritarian way of life love to tell us, "If you're innocent of wrongdoing you have nothing to fear from government."

The Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution states, in part: "No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."

And every American human who has ever watched a cop show on TV or police opera on the silver screen over the past 40-plus years has memorized at least part of the Supreme Court mandated Miranda warning:

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be provided for you at government expense.” – Miranda warning version adopted by California and popularized by "Dragnet" TV show, circa 1966.

So why has Sam Dodson been held indefinitely, on $10,000 cash bail, without access to legal council for 19 days, in an unsanitary jail cell in the Cheshire County Correctional Facility in Keen, New Hampshire, since April 13th?

Answer: because he had the audacity to exercise his Miranda, Constitutional, and big government-hugger right to remain silent.

Journalist Sam Dodson was hauled off to the hoosegow for putting the public in imminent danger by committing the horrifyingly violent act of videotaping in the lobby (not the courtroom but the lobby) of the Keene District Court. A "public" building, paid for and belonging to every taxpayer, by the way.

He was asked to state his name. He chose to remain silent. Now he's behind bars.

How's that for having nothing to fear from our government, authority lovers? How about prosecuting you for committing the crime of exercising your right to freedom of speech? How about clapping you in irons for criminally exercising your right to religious freedom? How about the death penalty for performing an act of press freedom?

“It is not supposed to work to where somebody in America is thrown in a jail cell and left there to rot until they cooperate and give up their rights in order to get whatever rights the government wants to hand out.” - Sam Dodson during a live interview on the Free Talk Live radio show.

Dodson is a native son of Texas. He was born in Dallas, grew up in Plano, and worked for a couple of big name electronic firms in the Metroplex before opting out of the corporate life. He moved to New Hampshire where he became a freedom activist, filmmaker and entrepreneur.

In describing his journalistic activities, a press release from the libertarian Arm Your Mind For Liberty website may have inadvertently revealed Dodson's true "crime" in the eyes of the power-lusting Granite State statists:

"Sam’s media company, Obscured Truth Network, educates viewers about the inner workings of government."

Dodson's videos can be viewed on Obscured Truth Network.
