Moved a log... When I was 16, my family rented a cottage on the beach. The next cottage along had a family staying. One day, the father of that family was busy digging at a drift log. I watched him from our porch for 20 minutes. Then I walked down, picked up the log, and said "where do you want it?" When he got his voice back, he wanted the log in the water so it would float away. I decide that was a hazard to navigation, so I broke it across my knee into four parts, and stacked these by the garbage. It was removed by the garbage removal folks the next day. If he had his way he'd have endangered the pleasure boats in the lake. Hmm... Moved alog...

There was a period in Medieval England where laws became so stringent and numerous that it actually undermined social cohesion and turned people into criminals/bandits. As an honest man could not get through his day with out breaking some law or local ordnance which drove them further in poverty. In the end legal system broke down as people stopped adhering to it and the government lost control. History has a nasty habit of repeating itself.
@@user-ez9is7lb9p I don't have one for England, but if you want something similar, look up the German Peasants War of 1524. Imperial Laws made it essentially illegal for peasants to do things like hunt, fish, log for wood, etc. On top of that, it was illegal to get married without a noble's permission, and when a serf died, their 'lord' got the first pick of his estate. All of this coupled with extreme taxation, Imperial Knights (their right to fight honor wars had been overruled, so they turned on their peasants to make up for lost income), and the start of 'radical' Protestantism preaching for emancipation lead to one of Germany's bloodier wars.

Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it’s evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing.

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them.

Because that's not the real story. You can look up the court case online. He owned and operated a fishing fleet in Honduras for years, and amongst other minor issues (like the boxes) was breaking three notable Honduran laws designed to protect their fisheries. Specifically they were catching undersized lobsters, catching egg-bearing lobsters, and failing to report their catch numbers and have their catch physically examined by Honduran authorities.
It’s also worth mentioning that the girls selling lemonade at the beginning of the video where told that they couldn’t sell lemonade without a permit but they were allowed to beg for money IIRC
I just got this in my recommendations. I really think us Americans need to revolt. We need to hold lawmakers and enforcers responsible for outrageous things that ruin lives. We the people should be lawmakers, not individuals who assume they're above the law.

We need to all work together and do something about this enough complaining and talking. I'm ready for action when someone gives me the word and tells me what we're doing.
It's a bit more complicated than presented here. The case was about importing $15M of lobsters that were illegal to harvest in Honduras because they were undersized. The box versus bag only was an indicator that they have been inspected in Honduras, which they weren't. The government showed a pattern where the defendants knowingly circumvented the Lacey Act, which made it illegal for US citizens to violate foreign fishing laws. Schoenwetter apparently knew he was violating the law and used various methods to conceal this. After the conviction, Honduras reinterpreted their law and filed an amicus in the appeal, but the appeal court majority upheld the conviction, apparently feeling there was _mens rea_. www.eenews.net/stories/1059964426
The guy who sold lobsters in plastic bags instead of boxes lost everything: his life savings, his business, his marriage and his sons; and the last couple lost their life savings, their business and their home. This is truly heart-wrenching and sickening, the government is out of control.

Rene Perez The wetlands will still be protected. To solve this problem, the epa needs to be restructured to not bulldoze over small land owners.(unfortunately some people actually do build on wetland.) Since these people didn't build on wetland, they should be left alone. The EPA shouldn't be able to do that. If they did build on wetland, boo hoo. All they are gonna get is a slice of pity pie, cause wetland is wetland. And it needs to be protected.
Rene Perez yeah. Recently I saw what the epa was doing to middle America. Tell manufactures they’re destroying the environment so the jobs go to China where they have the worst air quality in the world. And they weren’t hurting the environment to begin with.

This is a violation of human life to almost the highest extent. The next thing up is wrongful execution of an innocent. This needs more action.
Well, lets say that frozen lobsters being packaged in bags has a health risk, and the guy has been warned before but decided that boxes were either too expensive to care about it or even worse, thought the health risk itself was a bullshit reason. I mean, as far as I can hear is that he did it for 13 years. The tip was anonymous and it actually broke the first Honduran Fishing Law. Where fish is to be packaged in cardboard boxes. The FDA has nothing to do about that. Since law enforcement took an oath to enforce the law, EVEN IF THEY DISAGREE WITH IT, they must act upon it. You know how he could have gotten out of it? By asking for some time to go to court in Honduras and get an official document proclaiming that he could package lobsters with plastic bags. Would have saved him everything, as not even the supreme court is to ignore laws. The Lacey act has existed since 1900 and states you cant break the law in pretty much any country if it involves wildlife, the only exception being an officially approved document that is signed by the national lawyer and approved by the attorney general. The attorney general approved it, all he had to do is read the lacey act and go to honduras to get an official document written and signed by a lawyer, maybe even getting a permanent, individual permit or even get honduras to change the law entirely. But no, instead of taking that option, he tried going further in american court, like the american court has any say about honduran laws, and wasted of his life in prison. Breaking the Lacey act leads to 8-10 year in prison, the AG approval got the court to reduce it to 6. Seriously, people, if you need to go to court for breaking a law on international matters, use both countries. American law doesnt go above the laws of another country. There is only so much a judge can do without losing his or her job, and a judge will always choose to keep their job rather than risking it for a guy or girl that sticks to their gut and doesnt read into the law to prevent their case. Blaming american laws for a stupid honduran law is ridiculous.

So for this lobster guy, the government spent roughly $5,000,000 of taxpayers money, money that should be improving the local area or funding resources we need, and they spent all of that to send a guy to jail for 5 years for what? Putting lobsters in plastic bags and not cardboard boxes? And how much did it cost to have him incarcerated for 6 years? Prisons aren't cheap to build, guard and keep staffed, and this is all money spent to protect the people, God forbid if he had kept running his business like that as he had done for years and years beforehand.
That's not what happened. The full case is much more complicated. That guy had imported 15 million dollars of undersized, illegal lobsters, and that's what he got the times for. This show is EXTREMELY one sided, so if you hear something on it that sounds completely ridiculous to you, do a bit more research to find out the details

Did the kids complete food handling safety courses to ensure all dishes were properly washed, dried, and sanitized? Where do you draw the line? Now kids can't sell lemonade without complying with federal, state and local regulations, permits, inspections, etc. Did the lemonade stand have the required number of public bathrooms and handicapped accessibility?

It's funny I was fined $80 (in Australia) though for parking behind my unit outside the garage for one day. The excuse the local government gave to me was that I was "blocking the footpath." I asked if the other 10 or so cars parked behind their garages along the line of units were blocking the walkway or if they were ghost cars that people could walk to. They told me it's none of my business what other people do, I 'broke the law' I pay the fine. I told them to show me the law because it was ridiculous to say I was breaking the law by parking behind the garage of the unit I lived in and it's even more ridiculous to expect everyone to keep a tab of every silly and illogical law to avoid an $80 fine. They pointed me to some silly law about not parking on a footpath or blocking a pedestrian walkway. I showed them a photo of my car parked on an (admittedly short) unit driveway with several cars in the background also parked behind their units taking up no less space than my car with the actual pedestrian footpath clearly on the other side of the narrow backstreet and not blocked. Mmmmhhhh... Asked them if they were going to at least fine all the other cars for 'breaking the law' the same as me... Apparently not, apparently when they don't like certain types of vehicles or certain people, they're happy to bend the laws to get revenue out of you but when there's literally 10 times the revenue available right in front of their face they won't break the law to extract revenue out of them too. Fuck the government, fuck the local council, fuck the government, they only exist to raise revenue.
It's like this if they really wanted we all criminals and every court room should be packed out and having court 24/7 just to keep up and prisons would be full so there must be a total # of arrest they can make do to jail and prison pop . So with tht being said they only charge and arrest enough people to keep court within a certain time frame and arrest only amount jails an prison can hold cause if this ant the case we would have no room for nothing but courts jails and prisons ..

Francis York but still. That’s the first thing any tyrannical government has done first. Even under Marshall law preventing the meeting of three or more ppl. To fine ppl from meeting in large groups and even worse a religious ones is just bad. To say u need a permit to meet in a group in extreme thinking is like thinking the government wants to know where and what you’re doing by getting permits.

That's why it should be legal to remove a foetus if you want to. You should be able to put anything in your body & take anything out of your body without government involvement. It's legal to refuse your baby a blood transfusion, breast milk, you can even give them up for adoption if you don't want your body and property going to supporting he baby.

Also seattle: your selling lemonade I'm shutting you down
I was an addict many years ago, and I can affirm through experience that kids will sell drugs because they make better money than selling lemonade or whatever, and frankly would be safer working with the black market. And they're regularly trying to get money for rent, or food, or to pay parking tickets that if not paid will end with someone behind bars.

There was a period in Medieval England where laws became so stringent and numerous that it actually undermined social cohesion and turned people into criminals/bandits. As an honest man could not get through his day with out breaking some law or local ordnance which drove them further in poverty. In the end legal system broke down as people stopped adhering to it and the government lost control. History has a nasty habit of repeating itself.
I hope so
@@user-ez9is7lb9p I don't have one for England, but if you want something similar, look up the German Peasants War of 1524. Imperial Laws made it essentially illegal for peasants to do things like hunt, fish, log for wood, etc. On top of that, it was illegal to get married without a noble's permission, and when a serf died, their 'lord' got the first pick of his estate. All of this coupled with extreme taxation, Imperial Knights (their right to fight honor wars had been overruled, so they turned on their peasants to make up for lost income), and the start of 'radical' Protestantism preaching for emancipation lead to one of Germany's bloodier wars.
The police force in London just recently admitted that they have entirely lost control of London streets, and are powerless to enforce much of anything.

"They may conclude too hastily that nature has formed man insusceptible of any other government but that of force, a conclusion not founded in truth, nor experience. Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it’s evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government." -Thomas Jefferson.

It's a bit more complicated than presented here. The case was about importing $15M of lobsters that were illegal to harvest in Honduras because they were undersized. The box versus bag only was an indicator that they have been inspected in Honduras, which they weren't. The government showed a pattern where the defendants knowingly circumvented the Lacey Act, which made it illegal for US citizens to violate foreign fishing laws. Schoenwetter apparently knew he was violating the law and used various methods to conceal this. After the conviction, Honduras reinterpreted their law and filed an amicus in the appeal, but the appeal court majority upheld the conviction, apparently feeling there was _mens rea_. www.eenews.net/stories/1059964426

@@charlesajones77 not only is it reprehensible, it deserves justice. And so do the many many others that we don't hear about because they weren't lucky enough to get on the news or internet/whatever. This is a violation of human life to almost the highest extent. The next thing up is wrongful execution of an innocent. This needs more action.
Well, lets say that frozen lobsters being packaged in bags has a health risk, and the guy has been warned before but decided that boxes were either too expensive to care about it or even worse, thought the health risk itself was a bullshit reason. I mean, as far as I can hear is that he did it for 13 years. The tip was anonymous and it actually broke the first Honduran Fishing Law. Where fish is to be packaged in cardboard boxes. The FDA has nothing to do about that. Since law enforcement took an oath to enforce the law, EVEN IF THEY DISAGREE WITH IT, they must act upon it.
You know how he could have gotten out of it? By asking for some time to go to court in Honduras and get an official document proclaiming that he could package lobsters with plastic bags. Would have saved him everything, as not even the supreme court is to ignore laws. The Lacey act has existed since 1900 and states you cant break the law in pretty much any country if it involves wildlife, the only exception being an officially approved document that is signed by the national lawyer and approved by the attorney general. The attorney general approved it, all he had to do is read the lacey act and go to honduras to get an official document written and signed by a lawyer, maybe even getting a permanent, individual permit or even get honduras to change the law entirely. But no, instead of taking that option, he tried going further in american court, like the american court has any say about honduran laws, and wasted of his life in prison. Breaking the Lacey act leads to 8-10 year in prison, the AG approval got the court to reduce it to 6.
Seriously, people, if you need to go to court for breaking a law on international matters, use both countries. American law doesnt go above the laws of another country. There is only so much a judge can do without losing his or her job, and a judge will always choose to keep their job rather than risking it for a guy or girl that sticks to their gut and doesnt read into the law to prevent their case. Blaming american laws for a stupid honduran law is ridiculous.

I left the U.S. in 1993 because I felt liberty was the most important thing. Spent 21 years in Australia, most of which I had that feeling until like the U.S., the enviro-fascist nanny state ballooned beyond endurance. Now I live in Bali, Indonesia where I have my farm and a small restaurant with my Balinese wife. We have very little interference from government in our everyday lives, the running of our business or the building of our home. This video made me so sad that America has given government so much power to destroy the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Democrats OR Republicans...the crushing of liberty continues unabated...
It's simple if someone can't make money off of u then it's illegal
Jason Nunnery 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👩🏻✈️
Mean time government gives money to illegal s !!!!
so true at times and when things go wrong Gov's are the first to say its not my fault even thow we pass a law requiring you to pay us to inspect the work, the work must be done with in the laws or codes we passed
We came out more that once and passed the work at each stage but the fact it fail is not our fult and if you wish to rebuild you must pull another permit and pay a fee for us to inspect the work to oue codes
You mean if the Government can steal assests from You they will. I wonder which Judge/Freemason bought the Land at Auction time. When is enough enough that Good People will Stand Up to this Tyranny
So for this lobster guy, the government spent roughly $5,000,000 of taxpayers money, money that should be improving the local area or funding resources we need, and they spent all of that to send a guy to jail for 5 years for what? Putting lobsters in plastic bags and not cardboard boxes? And how much did it cost to have him incarcerated for 6 years? Prisons aren't cheap to build, guard and keep staffed, and this is all money spent to protect the people, God forbid if he had kept running his business like that as he had done for years and years beforehand.
Captain Capellini it was 6 years of jail time, totally worth it
Im pretty sure there is a good explanation on why the government didnt allow him to use plastic bags but the jail time is completely unjustified
Captain Capellini
Lobsters are suppose to breath, putting them in plastic bags suffocates them
That's not what happened. The full case is much more complicated. That guy had imported 15 million dollars of undersized, illegal lobsters, and that's what he got the times for. This show is EXTREMELY one sided, so if you hear something on it that sounds completely ridiculous to you, do a bit more research to find out the details
Why would the Lobsters be illegal in the first place???? Why does government get to say if a Lobster is legal or not????
“Yea chief I had no other choice he wouldn’t shut down his lemonade stand lethal force was necessary.”
As a war veteran it makes want to vomit at the abuse of power by my government causing second thoughts on my volunteering to defend the American way. The man going to prison for eight years over some frikin lobsters is truly dictatorial by those we elect to manage our nation.

When laws are created, they must be carefully considered. They have to be firmly created evenly enforced.
You don't want unknown ingredients that could be dangerous put into foods and drinks? Bet those lemonade glasses didn't have listed ingredients and nutritional information. Want to ensure all food handling is done in a safe manner? Did the kids complete food handling safety courses to ensure all dishes were properly washed, dried, and sanitized? Where do you draw the line? Now kids can't sell lemonade without complying with federal, state and local regulations, permits, inspections, etc. Did the lemonade stand have the required number of public bathrooms and handicapped accessibility? Should they?
You decide. And figure out how to make it as fair as possible to everyone. So this is why it is SO IMPORTANT TO VOTE FOR RESPONSIBLE, INTELLIGENT LAWMAKERS AND REPRESENTATIVES.

The govt tried to charge me, a 17 year old, 1000 dollars per every dead tree I had cut down on forest ground bordering my familie's property out in Ironside Oregon. The potential for HUGE fines was there but because of the snow, the forest rangers couldn't get up p there.
Amazing....
Dead trees....
if its not on your property you shouldnt be touching it
WhatsY0UTUB3 Tyranny is tyranny
@@WhatsY0UTUB3 Dead trees have been collected across the country's public forest lands for eons. The rule is that you can't cut anything down. Well, the shiatloads of standing dead timber create fire hazards. Govt nonsense through & through. People were able to harvest the snags I felled instead of looking at lightning rods year after year.
The funniest part though about what you said is the fact that fish & game systematically cut the lock on the gate leading to that forest ground. They claimed that they had a right of way even though it had been settled long ago...

It's funny I was fined $80 (in Australia) though for parking behind my unit outside the garage for one day. The excuse the local government gave to me was that I was "blocking the footpath." I asked if the other 10 or so cars parked behind their garages along the line of units were blocking the walkway or if they were ghost cars that people could walk to. They told me it's none of my business what other people do, I 'broke the law'
I pay the fine. I told them to show me the law because it was ridiculous to say I was breaking the law by parking behind the garage of the unit I lived in and it's even more ridiculous to expect everyone to keep a tab of every silly and illogical law to avoid an $80 fine.
They pointed me to some silly law about not parking on a footpath or blocking a pedestrian walkway. I showed them a photo of my car parked on an (admittedly short) unit driveway with several cars in the background also parked behind their units taking up no less space than my car with the actual pedestrian footpath clearly on the other side of the narrow backstreet and not blocked. Mmmmhhhh... Asked them if they were going to at least fine all the other cars for 'breaking the law' the same as me... Apparently not, apparently when they don't like certain types of vehicles or certain people, they're happy to bend the laws to get revenue out of you but when there's literally 10 times the revenue available right in front of their face they won't break the law to extract revenue out of them too.
Fuck the government, fuck the local council, fuck the government, they only exist to raise revenue.
It's like this if they really wanted we all criminals and every court room should be packed out and having court 24/7 just to keep up and prisons would be full so there must be a total # of arrest they can make do to jail and prison pop . So with tht being said they only charge and arrest enough people to keep court within a certain time frame and arrest only amount jails an prison can hold cause if this ant the case we would have no room for nothing but courts jails and prisons ..
Why did you pay them?
Local council are glorified garbagemen. Make sure you tell them this next time they give you trouble, they become apoplectic with rage (at least in my case, head so far up her arse).

Wait that California woman that held a bible study meeting and got fined for it, doesn't that go against the first amendment?
Francis York but still. That’s the first thing any tyrannical government has done first. Even under Marshall law preventing the meeting of three or more ppl. To fine ppl from meeting in large groups and even worse a religious ones is just bad. To say u need a permit to meet in a group in extreme thinking is like thinking the government wants to know where and what you’re doing by getting permits. Obviously this a very extreme view but it’s a fundamental right of why protecting large assemblies exist. If the cars outside were the problem, then they should have ticketed the cars blocking roads or parked illegally.
i think that would violate your right to assembly and religion
@@ChazDalton the main problem is that with so many people the neighbours were getting trapped in /out it really had nothing to do with religion just the size of it were 10 people it wouldn't have been a problem.
There needs to be some kind of accountability for this! Somebody needs to be able to say when the federal government has stepped too far! This is scary and disgusting.

I was a cop for seven years. I used to buy lemonade from children and tip them too.
Spirit of the law and letter of it are two different things.
Good to see cops like you around. The woman saying it's their job to do it is an idiot. Here's the thing, sure cops are supposed to enforce the law but what's more important is being human and understanding. No fucking person is gonna fire her for not closing down the lemonade stand and even if they bought a lemonade, no other cops are gonna be like "you can't do that". The girl isn't really harming anyone and no one cares about it. So, the reason for closing it, is not because she was enforcing the law (well technically she is but here me out here) because no one cares about it and there's nothing wrong with selling lemonade. The real reason is because she's a fucking Karen.
