- America's criminal codes are now so voluminous that they bewilder not only the average citizen but also the average lawyer.
Harvey Silverglate, in his new book, Three Felonies a Day, argues that the typical American professional is likely unaware that he or she violates federal law daily.
He spoke at the Cato Institute October 1, 2009.
Would have be nice to see some examples of these laws that Im breaking.
Me too
Have you ever ripped a CD? Made MP3s? Stuff like that.
@@nathanpartridge3565 have you ever taken a used burlap bag out of the state of New York?
Ever heard of Civil Asset Forfiture? If an officer pulls you over, conducts a search of your vehicle and finds... oh, idk... a briefcase with $10,000 in it.
The officer can, quite literally, take your money and charge and it (not you) committing a crime that you or your money did not commit. Yes, your property can be charged with a crime.
And the state or federal forces that sieze it dont have to return it until you go to court against them and prove that you weren't going to commit a crime with said money. The depart that seizes your property may then spend or auction off your property after certain amount of time passes (varies by state). So even if you do sue them. It could be months or years till you get your property back and chances are you won't even be able to get it back cuz it will be gone and you will simply be reimbursed with a check.
Watching this video is a felony.
This is a old tactic. Been going on forever.
That tie kills. I want one.
Can you please put the link to the page with the full video in the sidebar?
Pass a law, pass a law

They do. They don't get a lot of publicity nor have a very large following.
I came here from Mr Tate
Tate mentioned this guy?
@@Wispvein yes, in sexwars podcast
This will be used to persecute Christians in the future as foretold in the book of Revelations
at least some good will come of it then
@@purts2 Yes the fulfillment of the word of God yet again so that many believe before his soon rapture. Amen
Well you should learn about Federal Criminal Procedure pursuant to The US Sentencing Reform Act - read "Busted By The Feds" for more information as well as "Post Conviction Relief Secrets Exposed".
@@purts2 Can you clarify please? Thank you.
@@rustym.shackelford5546 yes I can.
I concur.

Though it is not a psychological disability for a prosecutor to deal harshly with dishonest people, that is their job, but a terrible error to harshly deal with honest people.
Actually it's been known that the majority of Federal Cases involve people who would be determined as "factually innocent" being unjustly prosecuted and forced to endure what is known as "unlawful imprisonment" (Source: USA Today). There's a reason why 28 USC 2255 exists...
I tried, and failed in my community. It is a lot of work, I got a lot of votes but I had almost no money! I relied exclusively on small donations. My message was responsible spending, and responsible spending. Will try again, but it sure is hard.
I love you, Harvey :)
never leave the criminal code up to the states, some states will do good by their citizens, and some will use the criminal code to make money off the poor. do I know what the solution is, no I don't but it has been proven that cities and states will use the poor to pad their coffers.

This man knows how to talk a lot and say nothing
Hooliganism
This guy is an incredibly poor speaker. It really detracts from what he is trying to say.
