I'm sorry to any practicing Freedom on the Land men or women but this guy is an IDIOT. He walks in clearly knowing he's in violation and just wants to have a standoff or confrontation with law keepers. He knows what laws he believes do not affect him but he fails to consider the laws that are in place to protect those that are citizens of the US. I have researched a few stories like these trying to beat possible police brutality or even corruption which is all well and good, but this is a joke.

He put his hands on the court officer when he tried to push his way by. That is a battery. He then said he was going to come through. He was causing a disturbance. Not following lawful orders and being belligerent. The officer avoided a potential fight with the guy by using the taser. He doesn't have to wait for the knucklehead to throw a punch. Clearly he is a loon, which would sure make me nervous. Anybody that says they have to consent to the law before it applies to them has a screw loose. Peterson believes in the "sovereign citizen" crap. Of course these guys lose EVERY TIME they go to court, but it hasn't stopped them yet.

The man committed no battery. He used no force. Was he obnoxious? Yes, of course, but that isn't a crime. He was no threat to the bailiffs and in fact had stepped back after being blocked. He was not warned that he might be tased. The fact is, the one who should be prosecuted is the bailiff who tased him. Tasers are abused and this is one of the worst abuses I have ever saw of a law enforcement officer in regards to a taser. The bailiff should have been fired. I know though that the prosecutor will side with the LEO, as they almost always do no matter what. Their loyalty isn't to the public or the law but to cops, no matter how much the cop is in the wrong.
