Pennsylvania Supreme Court Rules Rear Vision Camera/monitor systems

(such as are currently being advertised in Honda and many other new vehicles)

are TELEVISION SETS, therefore,

ILLEGAL to have installed in vehicles in PA

Posted March 31, 2015

The Pennsylvania legislature should FIX this.
There is ALREADY exception in PA vehicle code to allow monitors with NAVIGATION systems.
It is nonsense to NOT ALLOW REAR VISION SYSTEMS.

Liberty Van was Tea Party about 3 years before there was any such thing in modern times.

http://www.libertyvan.com/8thAnniversaryofBirthofLibertyVan/

The IRS is not the only government entity that has been harassing the Tea Party.

I've been driving my two award winning art cars, Liberty Van & Freedom Van all over the USA,

visiting grandkids, attending dog shows, hauling dogs (www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/), and

attending political events here and there for going on 10 YEARS now, averaging 50,000 +

miles/year. For the first 6 years or so, I experienced a very few incidents of harassment

- perhaps 1 or 2/year. Suddenly, in March 2012, the harassment increased a LOT. I think all

that started when on my way home from the little shin dig we (with Freedom Works, 9/12 groups,

Americans for Prosperity, and others) had in front of the US Supreme Court, about Obama'care',

I got busted in Freedom Van, 3 hours out of Washington DC, in Kingwood, WV, for

having the wrong color of 'Christmas' lights on my mini-van. It was just after St. Patrick's Day,

and she was still done up with green shamrock lights.

I got more tickets in the next year and a half or so than I had gotten in the previous 7 YEARS. and NONE of them for any actual

driving infraction. ALL of them were for idiotic things like Christmas lights, books on my dashboard, etc. Links to photo pages

and those stories are at www.libertyvan.com . For those who are curious, a few months ago

I got a new copy of my driving record. http://www.libertyvan.com/image/MYdrivingRecordKY-10-02-2014.jpg

Though I've won almost all of the harassment citations (and in one I didn't win - red or blue light visible

from front or rear, with Liberty Van, in Wyoming, the judge laughed and suspended the fine), I have lost

a very few of these. Seems MY state, Kentucky, does not bother to put Christmas lights convictions

on my driving record. <G>. BTW, when I got that copy a few months ago, I had put a combined total of

MORE THAN HALF A MILLION MILES on these two vans over past 9 YEARS, through 48 states!!!

I started decorating Liberty Van in 12/2005, when she had about 57,000 miles on her. She now has

410,000+ miles. I pasted signs all over Freedom Van BEFORE I drove her off the new car lot in

March, 2010. She now has 163,000 +miles on her. The reason my driving record is BLANK is

NOT because law enforcement does not notice these vehicles - it is because I AM AN EXTREMELY

LAW ABIDING driver. SO, they bust me for stoopid things.

HERE is the page with the pictures & story of how I got the ticket that resulted in this

current Pennsylvania Supreme Court Ruling.

http://www.libertyvan.com/2013JuneDCcourtPA8tickets/

The short story, for those who don't want to wade through all that, is while cruising around the PA Statehouse

at about noon, 6/24/2013, to take some new photos, Capitol Police Officer Schmidt stopped Liberty Van (which was also

pulling her big eagle trailer). Not finding any other reason to 'bust' me, he wrote me a ticket for having a TELEVISION

on my dash board. He PRETENDED my rear vision camera system was a TV SET, which is against the law in PA. Then,

since he was PRETENDING it was NOT a rear vision system, he also ticketed me for having 'obstructed rear vision'.

After he was done with me, I put all my parade flags on the roof, and cruised some more, and took this photo.

If that does not look like FREE SPEECH to you, would you kindly contact me and tell me WHAT IS???

I went to court on this, as I have not yet passed up an opportunity to PARK one of my vans in front of another

courthouse, HAND OUT LOTS OF FLYERS - and sometimes FLAGS, flowers, t-shirts, etc - and maybe get them on TV

or in a Newspaper again. I REFUSE to give up my FREEDOM OF SPEECH. My art cars ARE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Also, as a citizen, I DO have a right to travel as a free person, with a vehicle I own and pay for, and on roads I also pay for.

The PA magistrate kangaroo court rubber stamped Officer Schmidt's charade, as these PA magistrate courts have done

so far EVERY SINGLE TIME, in my experience with them.

So, with an attorney, I appealed.

Here is that appeal ruling, which is nonsensical, and makes ALL REAR VISION CAMERA systems ILLEGAL in PA.

Also, it would make just about ANY art car illegal, as one can not use a rear vision system to CURE obstructed vision,

if ANYTHING is on any rear windows (never mind if your vehicle is loaded to the ceiling).

http://www.libertyvan.com/PoliceHarassment/PArearCamera-isTV/PA-ALLRearCamTVSupAppeal141007TC.jpg

The above link is the appeal ruling, with a few notes I made on it.

Since PA is still in my way (I live in Kentucky, and have grandkids in Vermont), and I will still have to drive across it

from time to time, as much as I would love to AVOID that, and there is NO way I am going to demolish my award

winning art cars just to please PA's irrational stance on equipment I should be allowed to have in MY vehicle,

I had my attorney file a PA Supreme Court Appeal on this. In October, I was just about at the end of my inheritance,

and retirement funds which I have been using to pay my own way for all of my travels and adventures, for all of these

years. A couple of decades ago, I became aware that we are in an ideological war, and we have been losing it badly.

This is a flyer I often hand out, and it is similar to one I was sharing more than a quarter century ago, when I lived in

S. Florida. www.libertyvan.com/Flyers/FLYERIndependenceDayTheCommunistManifesto.doc

Figured I might as well spend my retirement before the Marxists figure out how to steal it, or the Fed. inflates the value

of it to $0. BOTH of those things ARE happening. If you haven't figured that out yet, I am praying that you

PLEASE WAKE UP!

Last week, someone sent me this - it is the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's ruling.

https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/AppellateCourtReport.ashx?docketNumber=811+MAL+2014

I am not sure exactly what it means - whether they actually reviewed the case, and decided they would also pretend

a rear vision system is a TELEVISION SET, or whether they decided it's not worth reviewing at all.

I emailed my attorney last week, and he did not reply.

EITHER way, it DOES mean that PA has decided by judicial fiat to make it

a CRIME to have a REAR VISION CAMERA SYSTEM, because

they have ALLOWED TO STAND the ruling it is TELEVISION EQUIPMENT.
If any of you actually LIVE in PA,
would you PLEASE contact your legislators,
and tell them about this, before they start fining YOU.

Also, IF you like to see ART CARS traveling in your state, know that this essentially makes ALL
of them ILLEGAL in your state. I've seen hardly one that does not have SOMETHING on SOME windows.
A rear vision camera system makes them SAFE & LEGAL in most OTHER states.
The PA vehicle code needs an exception for rear vision systems, just as it ALREADY HAS an
exception for NAVIGATION systems that have A TELEVISION SCREEN where the driver can see it.
A rear vision camera system replaces a rear view mirror - it makes NO MORE SENSE to outlaw them, than
it would to outlaw REAR VIEW MIRRORS. It improves safety ANYTIME someone's load obstructs their windows,
or someone has put up a sun shade to keep the sun from COOKING their kids in the back seat,
or anytime anything (including back seat passenger's heads) might obstruct rear vision.
Also, for those living in a communist republic, you may not be aware - but in some other states
(including mine, Kentucky) we still own our vehicles. The government does NOT own them. That is why
I was able to ADD SAFETY EQUIPMENT at my own expense to MY (now 10 year old) Nissan Quest, which did not COME
with a rear vision system. As a DOG VAN, it is almost always loaded to the ceiling. I can not SEE a
rear window, so it makes NO difference at all what is ON those windows. And, with that rear camera system,
I DO NOT have 'obstructed vision'. I can see a BIRD on the road behind me.
In the last half a million MILES I've never yet hurt ANYONE or ANYTHING with one of my vans.
PA has a weird bias against ANYONE adding after market anything. SO it IS ILLEGAL in PA to ADD
ANYTHING FOR SAFETY to your vehicle, if it is older, and did not come with it.
Maybe this is some sort of attempt to make you REPLACE your old car with a new one so you can get the latest safety stuff???

Other than legalized plunder, or 'revenue enhancement',
is there ANY good reason at ALL WHY I am suddenly a CRIMINAL
just because I drove across the PA state line, on my way to see
my grandkids in Vermont (because PA is IN MY WAY),
and I added PERFECTLY LEGAL EVERYWHERE ELSE
SAFETY EQUIPMENT TO MY OWN VEHICLE????!!!!
PA police officers have actually TOLD me
that I must TURN OFF my rear camera when in PA.
This is as nonsensical (and DANGEROUS) as
'turning off' my REAR VIEW MIRROR,
and I will NOT do that!

I emailed my attorney last week, this is his reply I got yesterday.

Here is clarification I received from my attorney 4/1/2015.

I no longer have the resources to appeal this further, though I would if I COULD.

It looks like I've got about 2 and a half months to find some help with this.

We can get along OK here on my husband's small pension, but I no longer have

the resources to make all the kinds of trips I was making.

I might ask some of the MANY organizations I've been supporting - some of them

for decades, such as Citizens United (yes, I helped pay for THEIR lawsuit!), AFP,

ACLJ, Rutherford Institute, Freedom Works, and at least a dozen more for help. But so far,

when I've asked any of them for assistance, they have not helped. I especially was trying

to find someone to SUE some of those who have been harassing us, which could replace
some of the TENS OF THOUSANDS of $ they have cost me, and replenish funds to continue my work with

these vans. I would still love to sue Preston County, WV, for illegally arresting me TWICE

(and I was a virgin, had never been arrested for ANYTHING) and illegally impounding

Freedom Van, because I had a ticket for pink 'Christmas' lights.

That one is still in the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.

Even when I had the finances to PAY an attorney to SUE, none would help me. It is a bit difficult to

understand, as SO many folks seem to sue over the craziest things. Where on earth do they manage

to find lawyers to help them with that stuff??? I guess too many of the lawyers are lefties.

Several months ago, having NEVER before asked anyone for help with anything, but knowing I

Though I sleep in the vans when on the road, and bring most of my food, I still need gas and oil

changes, and putting so many miles on the vans does result is mega repair bills. Getting Liberty

Van out of the Nissan shop in October cost me more than $7,000, and last time Freedom Van was in

her bill was over $2,000. Also, I no longer can afford attorneys to fight all the harassment.

Fortunately, that does seem to have slowed down quite a bit in the past year and a half or so.

I am leaving for New Hampshire, with Freedom Van this weekend. Court for the Christmas lights

ticket I got with Liberty Van right after Christmas, when I did my 10th annual NE tour, and went

to visit my grandkids in Vermont, is April 7, 11 am, at the courthouse in Berlin, NH. I will have to

defend myself this time - I have been successful sometimes, but I have no idea, because this is the

FIRST time I've ever been harassed in NH. They SERIOUSLY BULLIED me too, that story is here:

PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO WILL HELP.

The cost for me just to drive there & back at 57 cents/mile is$1,368. I am bringing someone a dog, so they

will chip in a couple hundred, but the cost is still pretty close to husband's monthly pension check.

However, my FREEDOM OF SPEECH is PRICELESS. Nevermind, at least folks for 1,200 miles each way

will get to smile at Freedom Van, done up in her pink Valentines' day hearts and flowers. I kept her in pink,

as she's going to the Houston Art Car Parade, Mother's Day weekend, like that.

Oh yes, and I will have to drive through PENNSYLVANIA - a CRIMINAL, with a TELEVISION on my dashboard.

If anyone would like to help keep these beautiful vans on the road, here are some ways to donate. Also, if you get gas gift cards (I get them from

my credit REWARD cards), that would help.

(270)308-0078 (ROAD phone ONLY)

I'm leaving here (KY) Friday, April 3 for New Hampshire. Perhaps if you are between

here and there, either coming or going, I can stop in for a few, for a meet/greet.

I am bringing Freedom Van - Liberty Van is in the shop AGAIN.

I AM RETIRED, SO AVAILABLE (DEPENDING ON PRIOR SCHEDULING) TO COME TO EVENTS WITH ONE

OR THE OTHER OF THESE VANS, AND THE BIG EAGLE. I AM ALSO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT &

AVAILABLE TO SPEAK ON A VARIETY OF LIBERTY ISSUES.

PLEASE HELP KEEP THESE VANS ON THE ROAD! & www.gofundme.com/FreeSpeechArtcars

DONATE ONE GALLON OF GAS (FROM JUNE 12-JULY 12 2014, FREEDOM VAN TRAVELED 13,000 MILES,

USED ABOUT 900 GALLONS OF GAS. AS OF APRIL, 2015, I HAVE STILL BEEN ABOUT 99.99 PERCENT

SELF FINANCED, HAVE BEEN SPENDING MY RETIREMENT BEFORE THE MARXISTS FIGURE OUT HOW

TO STEAL IT, OR THE FED INFLATES THE VALUE OF IT TO 0 (BOTH OF THOSE ARE HAPPENING).

THOUGH I ALMOST ALWAYS SLEEP IN THE VAN ON THE ROAD, AND BRING ALMOST ALL MY FOOD,

I PRETTY MUCH QUIT TRAVELING WITH THESE VANS AFTER NOV. 2014, WHEN I HAD DEPLETED THIS

NEST EGG. WE CAN SURVIVE ON HUSBAND'S PENSION, WE ARE DEBT FREE, BUT I WANT TO

CONTINUE FIGHTING WITH THESE VANS SO LONG AS I AM ABLE. NONE OF THIS IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE,

IT WOULD BE A GIFT TO HELP WITH THE FIGHT.

SINCE I'VE BEEN BEING HARASSED, HAVE HAD HUGE LEGAL BILLS. BUT I WANT TO KEEP FIGHTING

FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH AS LONG AS I POSSIBLY CAN, AND WILL CONTINUE WITH MY LAST BREATH.

LIBERTY VAN IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN, SHE HAS OVER 400,000 MILES NOW. IN PAST TWO MONTHS,

HAS COST ME ABOUT $2,400 IN REPAIRS FOR FREEDOM VAN (NEW AXELS, MOTOR MOUNTS, ETC).

THESE VANS GET WHATEVER THEY NEED, INCLUDING SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES.

WHEN I TAKE CARE OF THEM, THEY TAKE CARE OF ME!

DISCLAIMERS: I am a life time Associate Member of Oathkeeper, www.oathkeepers.org

As a responsible citizen, I am totally committed to being supportive, and COOPERATIVE with ALL Constitutionally proper law

enforcement. I also do my best NOT to allow my God Given Rights to be trampled.

TO DATE, NO one HAS BEEN paying me anything to do anything. I'm a 'ticked off'

grandma from Kentucky. It doesn't get ANY more 'grassroots' than that. All my

projects HAVE BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE 100% PRIVATELY funded.

AS OF APRIL, 2015, they have also been about 99.9% PERSONALLY funded. Since

I am not actually 'rich', I may end up a bag lady. I am doing what I am CALLED to

do, and using EVERY inspiration, talent, and resource God has blessed me with.

It all belongs to Him, anyway.

Liberty Van and Freedom Van are my Hosanna Afghan Hounds dog show mobiles.

The dogs are not a 'business', but a very expensive HOBBY. We have finished,

or produced (so far) 28 AKC Champions, and three AKC Grand Champions.

You can see the most beautiful dogs in the world at www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/.

UNTIL OCTOBER, 2014, I WAS DELIVERING DOGS ALL OVER USA FOR FREE. TAKING

A DOG TO FLORIDA, OR WASHINGTON STATE IS AS GOOD AN EXCUSE FOR A ROAD

TRIP WITH ONE OF THESE VANS AS ANYTHING. I WAS PAYING A PROFESSIONAL

HANDLER ABOUT 4-5 THOUSAND/MONTH TO FINISH THEIR CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR THE

PAST 7 YEARS OR SO. Last year, we finished 6 Champions and a Grand Champion. I QUIT

THAT IN OCTOBER AS I HAVE NO MORE FUNDS FOR IT. ALSO, I CAN NO LONGER

DELIVER THEM FOR FREE. HOWEVER, IF I DID GET HELP WITH EXPENSES OF

RUNNING THE VANS, I would like to RESUME FREE DELIVERY OF AFGHAN HOUNDS ALL

OVER THE LOWER 48 STATES, AND PEOPLE WILL GET TO ENJOY SEEING THE VANS

ON THE ROAD AGAIN. ALSO, THOUGHT I WOULD GO BACK TO SHOWING THE DOGS

MYSELF AGAIN. MY CHILDREN AND I FINISHED OUR FIRST 3 CHAMPIONS WITH NO

PROFESSIONAL HELP, AND COST OF SHOWING MYSELF IS SIMILAR TO DINNER AND

MOVIES. SINCE HUBBY AND I DO NOT DO ANY OF THAT, I COULD AFFORD TO DO IT,

BUT FOUND OUT IN NOVEMBER 2014 I NEED A NEW HIP. I HAVE NO RESOURCES

FOR THAT (THANKS TO OBAMA'CARE' - WHICH I WILL NOT TOUCH WITH A 10 FOOT

POLE! I believe stealing is WRONG - even IF my government is going to use their

police power to do it for me!), SO I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHOW

THEM MYSELF, AS I CAN NO LONGER RUN AROUND THE RING WITH THEM.

PERHAPS WE WILL NEVER FINISH ANOTHER CHAMPION. HOWEVER, I HAVE A

HOUSE FULL OF CHAMPIONS, AND A FEW GRAND CHAMPIONS, AND I CAN STILL SIT

BY A WHELPING BOX, SO DO EXPECT TO CONTINUE PRODUCING AN OCCASIONAL

LITTER FROM TIME TO TIME. WOULD LOVE TO HELP PEOPLE OUT BY DELIVERING

THEM for FREE again, & KEEP THE VANS ON THE ROAD - IF I CAN AFFORD TO.

EVERYTHING WE GET FOR THESE DOGS GOES TO PAY FOR THEIR UPKEEP, AND

THEN SOME. FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, I HAVE BEEN DEDICATED TO HELPING

TO PRESERVE THIS OLDEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL BREED. THE AFGHAN HOUND

IS ALSO ONE OF THE FEW NATURAL (NOT MAN MADE) BREEDS. THEIR REGISTRATIONS

FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS HAVE BEEN WELL BELOW 1,000/YEAR IN THE ENTIRE USA.

ALSO, LAST YEAR, THE REGISTRATIONS WERE ONLY ABOUT 450. PEOPLE I'VE

TALKED TO WHO HAVE BEEN TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN TELL ME THEY

AREN'T DOING TOO WELL THERE RIGHT NOW, EITHER. IT WOULD BE A SHAME,

AND AN UGLIER WORLD, IF THERE WERE NO MORE AFGHAN HOUNDS IN IT.

This was 'Happy', Hosanna Amazing Peace, from our 3rd litter in 1998. She's in most of our pedigrees now.

She was the mother of several of our Champions, and she has many Champion (and some Grand Champion) grandkids.

I am the sole owner and sole 'webslave' of www.hosanna1.com (online since 1998),

www.aalf.ws , An American who Loves Freedom (online since 2005),

www.libertyvan.com , www.americansmokersparty.com , plus several more.

Since there is only me, and I'm on the road so much (OR BUSY WITH DOGS WHEN I'M

HOME), my older pages may be out of date, and may not work well with newer

hardware/software/browsers. Most of the older stuff was done with IE. I do not have

the resources to test everything with everything, so to serve the priority of getting info

up, I am shifting to much more simple methods, which SHOULD work with just about

anything. It may not be as 'pretty' as I could do it,

but given my time constraints, it's the best I can do.

Being on the road as much as I have been would probably be impossible, but 29 years

ago God blessed me with the most wonderful husband, John Farley. He's a 'home body',

hates to go anywhere, but he agrees with me about EVERY WORD I put on those vans,

and he supports my every effort. He fixes my lights on the vans, and helps me with

technical support at home. We met when we shared an office at IBM - he's an engineer

(retired). He holds the fort down here, caring for kids, grandkids, and of course the dogs.

Some of the kids help me from time to time with the vans, mostly with deconstruction,

when changing them from one season to another. I ALWAYS PAID them for their work,

they are not slave labor. My 6 kids range in age from 45-20, and they are ALL AWESOME.

Michael, the youngest, became a Marine on October 11, 2013. I AM EXPECTING BIRTH

OF MY 11TH GRANDCHILD ANY DAY NOW : ). My oldest son, and his family live
in S. Florida, so you may see one of these vans headed that way soon!

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,

and having done all, to stand." Ephesians 6:11-13

I have pledged my life, my treasure, and my sacred honor to the service of God and my country.

THIS IS MY STAND.
