Read all about it at ronpaulforums.com. My favorite part (besides the sheer righteous, time-wasting ballsiness of standing up to The Man):
We proceeded to sit in the car discussing our options for apx 30 mins, I was figuring that there was a legal amount of time in which they could "detain" me before making the decision to either arrest me or let me go.
During this time, my g/f and I listened to their conversations from a distance.
We heard them mocking us and saying things like "what a douchebag" "what does this guy think he is accomplishing?" laughing, also saying to my face that quote "we don't care, we are getting paid to stand here anyway".
I overheard one agent say that "well if we decide to arrest him and he resists we can LIGHT HIM UP"
Another thing we overheard was a younger agent saw my bumper sticker
STOP BIG GOVERNMENT!
Take back your personal liberty!
Support PROP 19 this November!

I also have a Gadsden flag "don't tread on me" sticker on the back as well.
Read the whole thing. Then check out Brian Doherty's 2003 feature on "suspected terrorist" John Gilmore, plus a bunch of other "papers, please"-type stories from the Reason archive.
