Jason and Pete from Motorhome Diaries have been detained at the Canadian border leaving Vermont on I-91. They have been there for the last 4 hours, MARV has been searched by both state agents and the K-9 patrol. The MHD Guys were filming as the neared the check point, but the video was deleted and they were informed if they continued to film, record, or take pictures they would be arrested.
A box of literature from the Alliance of the Libertarian Left was taken, and a copy of Crispin Sartwell’s “Against the State” was left out on the counter. The RV was ransacked but thankfully not to the point it was in Jones County, Mississippi. Their laptops are now in the possession of the state agents, and those agents are reading about fr33 Agents, The Free State Project, and Jason & Pete’s former employer. One agent has accused them of ’spreading misinformation.’
The guys have been told that the state agents are looking for “Pornography or Heinous Propaganda.” When asked for a definition of “Heinous Propaganda” or the applicable statute they were told it was available online, but they don’t have computers or Internet access.
The agent that is holding them hostage is Agent number 17258, and his supervisor, Miguel Begin (sp?) can be reached at 819.876.7821 x112. Stay Tuned for further updates.
Update: Jason and Pete have been denied entry into Canada, citing the Jones County incident. Now waiting to go back through US Border patrol.
(07/23/2009 06:47:59 PM) JDTalley: I’m denied entry into Canada along with @peteeyre. Jones County cited.#MHD
(07/23/2009 07:13:11 PM) JDTalley: And now we get to drive through U.S. Border security.
(07/23/2009 08:05:37 PM) ammueller: just got off the phone with @MHDiaries they are getting some distance from the border thugs and calling me back. But said they are ok!

Can you drive across the nation without genuflecting to the man? Apparently not. And they make sure you get entered into the terrorist database.
Can you tell the cops to fuck off while in your own home without being charged with disorderly conduct? Apparently not. I wonder if that gets you entered into the database?

Most likely a good example of where Canada is further up the tyranny ladder than the US (”easy on marijuana), tough on technology for ideology.
I’m really interested in hearing what MHD has to say.

I empathize with you guys, however, to play devil’s advocate for a second, you have got to realize that exchanges such as this. I dont really know what you guys are about but I can say im from Jones County, MS and our Sheriffs department thinks they are God this kind of stuff happens on a daily basis to Jones Co. residents
