Police Shenanigans in the “Live Free or Die” State
October 1, 2015
New Hampshire has a “hands-free” law that forbids drivers from using a mobile electronic device unless it’s an emergency, including drivers waiting at a stoplight. Police pretending to be members of the clergy and bums conducted a sting operation to catch unsuspecting drivers. And some conservatives say we should support our local police? You can’t have a police state without police.
