Bill of Rights - 8th Ammendment

• Excessive bail shall not be required,
  • nor excessive fines imposed,
    • nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Notes

This is to prevent the People from being "kidnapped" by a "highwayman" or tax collectors, and held hostage in jail until a ransom "bail" or fine is paid.

Due to violations against the Constitution, more crime is committed in one day in the court rooms of America than in the streets in a whole year.

When bureaurcrats force you to fear your government, it is no longer your government.

IS YOUR FREEDOM IN DANGER?

(The Destruction of the Bill of Rights)
By Jarret Wollstein
Excerpt from the above pamphlet

By calling penalties "civil" rather than "criminal", government can seize all of your assets without trial or any other form of legal proceeding. Bail is being abolished for many crimes, including crimes that didn't even exist ten years ago, such as "money-laundering". Punishments are becoming increasingly harsh. Teenagers are getting years or decades in prison for minor drug offenses. Businessmen are receiving long prison sentences for technical violations of incomprehensible tax laws and securities regulations. Ordinary citizens are being imprisoned for possession of banned literature, guns, and even medicines.
