I spent Halloween in a County Jail, thanks to a bad Federal Warrant.

From the top, Eric Holder, to the bottom, is there anything more scary than the Department of Justice.

***UPDATE***

I have received correspondence from Durango Magistrate that documents and acknowledges, without taking responsibility for, the false arrest. Follow the jump to see the letter.

I'm still out $2,000 directly (plus more ancillary and punitive damages) as a result of this action - which all could've been avoided had they done their job, before, during, or after the arrest, as requested.

Perhaps most galling was the DOJ Assistant U.S. Attorney moving for contempt of court upon my assertion of my constitutional right of recourse, and than asserting illegal 'property rights' over Forest Service land in seeking to get me barred from same as an extension of this same sociopathic argument.

Never mind Mitt Romney's strong bid for the Republican party's nomination to be the next U.S. President, but do consider these three court cases between Utah and the Federal Government.

Perhaps symbolically most important is a case regarding public access to Federal Lands - of which there is an awful lot in Utah. I've touched on this issue in another area of the State, but not far away.

With greater business implications, but also symbolically revealing of corporate business practices in America today, consider the Utah based anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft, for the benefit of the Utah based Novell, once the leader in word processing (Word Perfect) and computer networking.

Lastly, there is a Federal action against Utah for its current immigration law.

As you might recall, I'm having my own battle with the Federal Government over the abusive handling of a camping ticket in SW Colorado, less than an hours drive from that State, and perhaps the heart of the Four Corners region.

Occupy Access to America's Public Resources and PROSECUTE THOSE THAT TRASH OR PREVENT THEIR USE!
