If it were not for the Constitution of the United States of America, I would have went to jail and been forced to pay 1000's of dollars in fines and fees.
If it were not for the Constitution of the United States of America, I would have had my freedom revoked and locked up in a cage.
A similar situation happened to Steve Bierfeldt http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=14907 (http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=14907) earlier this year.
I followed the model of using the Constitution namely the 4th amendment to assert my natural right to be secure in my person house and papers.
Because I understand what the Constitution is and how it properly applies to my life, I was able to turn two armed men who were acting under the authority of the local government away from my house PEACEFULLY and without ARGUMENT, DEBATE, or further CONFRONTATION.
The jack boots arrived at my house with the intention of handcuffing me and taking me to jail. They arrived forcefully and with the threat of violence if I did not cooperate. Unfortunately for them, they were wasting there time. The warrant and probable cause they thought they had was invalid. It was issued weeks before hand, and because they failed to affirm the warrant which would have led them to verifying that the warrant was served in court by my lawyer 3 weeks prior, they were in violation of the 4th amendment.
I recited to the armed men who were also trespassing on my property the entire contents of the 4th amendment.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
This prompted the cops to check on the legitimacy of the warrant. It took the officers all of 1 minute to check with dispatch and indeed they discovered that the warrant they were acting under was invalid.
Of course, I argued before hand because I knew the warrant was invalid. There was no yelling on my side. They made lots of threats, they even put me in handcuffs once I stepped outside. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THEM FROM CONTINUING TO VIOLATE MY NATURAL RIGHTS WAS MY CITATION OF THE 4th AMENDMENT OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
That piece of paper and more importantly, WHAT IS WRITTEN ON IT, protected me on that day. Just like it protected Steve Bierfeldt.
It protected me because I understand and at the time understood that when then Constitution was ratified way back on December 15th 1791, the people who signed that piece of paper KNEW that there would be a day just like June 27 2009 when someone would come to my house to search and seize me, and the only NON VIOLENT way I would have to protect myself would be an appeal to the law of the land in which these cops are sworn to abide by.
I held the cops accountable to that law, and they walked away from my house leaving me free to go about the rest of my day,.
