INFO ABOUT HOW THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PENNSYLVANIA IS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE AWAY FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

MAYBE THERE IS NO US CONSTITUTION IN PA, AND IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, THEY DON'T TAKE THEIR OWN CONSTITUTION SERIOUSLY EITHER?

IF YOU ARE DRIVING THROUGH THE STATE WITH AN ART CAR OR VAN, OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT HAS 'ANY LIGHTING

EQUIPMENT INSTALLED THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THAT VEHICLE AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT',

(SO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TURN IT OFF, YOU MUST DISASSEMBLE YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE DRIVING IN PA, OR DRIVE AROUND PA)

ELSE YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THEIR PENNSYLVANIA LAW, AND CAN BE FINED AND HARASSED. IN MY EXPERIENCE, MOST POLICE

OFFICERS ARE MATURE, AND WISELY SET PRIORITIES. THEY ARE SINCERELY TRYING TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM ACTUAL

DANGEROUS PEOPLE, AND I SO APPRECIATE ALL OF THOSE, AS I DO TRAVEL ABOUT 50,000 MILES/YEAR, AND MOST OF THAT

ALONE. BUT, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED JUST A VERY VERY FEW WHO ARE 'DIFFERENT'. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE.

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE NOT A RESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PENNSYLVANIA - NOR IF

YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT REGISTERED IN PA. THEIR LAW SAYS WHAT YOU MAY AND MAY NOT PUT ON YOUR

VEHICLE. PENNSYLVANIA THINKS THEY OWN ALL THE VEHICLES IN THE UNITED STATES, AND (PROBABLY)

IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, IF YOU ENTER THEIR STATE, EVEN IF YOU ARE ON A FEDERAL HIWAY, THAT YOU PAY

DUE TO THEIR 'KANGAROO COURT' SYSTEM (SEE http://www.judgecunningham.com/index.cfm?ref=60100 ), (LOOKS LIKE JUST ABOUT

ANYONE CAN BE A 'JUDGE' THERE), IF YOU GO TO COURT, YOU MAY FIND NO ONE THERE AT ALL EXCEPT YOURSELF, THE JUDGE,

AND THE TICKETING OFFICER - & NO WITNESSES WHATSOEVER. (THAT'S WHAT I FOUND)

SERIOUSLY, AFTER DRIVING LIBERTY VAN OR FREEDOM VAN ALL OVER THE USA FOR MORE THAN FIVE AND A HALF YEARS,

AND A GRAND TOTAL APPROACHING 300,000 MILES, THROUGH ALL LOWER 48 STATES, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A FEW INSTANCES

OF HARASSMENT - BUT I've NEVER BEFORE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS!

Here's a pic of me, with Liberty Van, just a few weeks before getting this ticket in Freedom Van. Notice, Liberty Van

also has lights - and the Pennsylvania capitol police I visited with here did not tell me there was any problem.

ALSO, THE OFFICER, TROOPER MICHAEL MCCULLOUGH, HANGS OUT ON I-81, IN THE GREENCASTLE, PA AREA, AND LOVES

TO CHASE FOLKS EVEN INTO MARYLAND. HE'S A REAL HOT DOG. IT SEEMS HE OCCASIONALLY FINDS SOMETHING A BIT

BETTER TO DO THAN HARASS A GRANDMA WHO HAS A FEW STRINGS OF CHRISTMAS TYPE LIGHTS ON HER DOG SHOW VAN,

WHO IS NOT SPEEDING, NOT BOTHERING ANYONE, AND COMPLETELY LAW ABIDING as anyone can be in these days of such minute &
sensless laws about EVERYTHING.

THE LIGHTING ON MY VEHICLE(S) IS LEGAL IN MY STATE (WHERE MY VEHICLE(S) IS REGISTERED), AND ALMOST EVERYWHERE

ELSE TOO. THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF WYOMING DOES NOT LIKE PATRIOTIC 'RED OR BLUE' LIGHTS ON FRONT OR REAR OF

A VEHICLE - that officer told me someone might mistake Liberty Van for an ambulance <LOL>. HOWEVER, IF ONE TURNS THEM OFF

WHILE THERE, YOU ARE 'LEGAL'. MY OWN STATE, KENTUCKY, DOES NOT ALLOW FLASHING LIGHTS, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OF

THOSE - THEY WOULD ANNOY ME TOO). My vans ARE LEGAL in MY state.

DUE TO MOST OF THE STATES COLLUDING TO PLUNDER EACH OTHER'S RESIDENTS, I HAVE PAID THESE FINES. THIS OFFICER

MCCULLOUGH ISSUED TWO TICKETS FOR THE SAME 'OFFENSE', ONE THREE MILES FROM MARYLAND,

AND THE SECOND IN MARYLAND. MY VANS ARE LEGAL IN MARYLAND, BUT I GUESS THAT DOESN'T COUNT, EITHER.

NOTE: the officer seems to have misrepresented on THE SECOND TICKET WHERE the second ticket was issued! (SEE THE NOTES ON THAT ONE)

I did not figure that out till just now, when I did a MAPQUEST, to figure out exactly where we were. I was stopped (the second time) IN Maryland,

past the first MD exit. The road he cites is at least a mile north of the border, and the number of feet south he says we were is only about a 1/2 mile.

THE FINES ARE ONLY $25 (TOTAL 50), BUT TAXES HAVE BEEN ADDED ON TO MAKE THE TOTAL $192.50. AND SINCE I AM NOT A

RESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PENNSYLVANIA, I HAVE NO REPRESENTATION THERE, EITHER.

THE REASON THERE ARE TWO, IS THAT THE OFFICER ORIGINALLY SAID HE WAS ONLY GOING TO GIVE ME A WARNING. I GET

A BIT OF THIS NOW AND THEN, AND AM ALWAYS POLITE. HE STARTED TO ASK IF I COULD DISCONNECT THE LIGHTS, AND I

IMMEDIATELY TOLD HIM THEY HAVE AN OFF SWITCH (AND SWITCHED THEM OFF AS I SAID IT). I WOULD HAVE LEFT THEM OFF

TILL THE STATE LINE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS ONLY A FEW MILES. BUT HE LET ME SIT THERE FOR A GOOD HALF HOUR,

WHILE MY SINUSES WENT CRAZY, I WAS IN TERROR WE WERE GOING TO GET CREAMED BY A SPEEDING TRUCK, AND I THINK

I HAD A FEVER, I WAS COMING DOWN WITH A VERY BAD COLD. THEN HE CAME BACK WITH A TICKET, SO I FIGURED OUR 'DEAL'

WAS OFF. IF I AM GOING TO HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY TO PA (ABOUT 800 MILES ONE WAY) JUST TO FIGHT SOMETHING

SO STOOPID, BE DANGED IF I WON'T AT LEAST GET MY MONEY'S WORTH.

IF I EVER GET A TICKET AND IT'S 'MY BAD' - IF I WAS SPEEDING, RUNNING A RED LIGHT, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I WILL MAIL IN

THE MONEY. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS SINCE I HAD ANY POINTS AGAINST MY LICENSE. I AM A VERY CAREFUL DRIVER,

AND VERY LAW ABIDING IN ALMOST ALL CASES. BUT WHEN THEY JUST CLEARLY WANT TO HARASS ME, I ALWAYS GO TO COURT

- AND I ALMOST ALWAYS WIN THESE. Besides, it's usually FUN to park one of these beautiful vans in front of a courthouse, hand out lots of

flyers, and maybe get on TV or in the newspaper again. SO, BEFORE I TOOK OFF, I TURNED MY LIGHTS BACK ON, WENT INTO 'CRUISING MODE'

(THAT'S HOW I CRUISE THE COMMUNIST CITIES, AND STATEHOUSES), WITH MY PATRIOTIC MUSIC TURNED UP LOUD, THE PASSENGER

DOME LIGHT ON SO FOLKS CAN SEE THE FLAG THAT WAVES IN THE FRONT SEAT - ALSO THEY CAN SEE ME - WINDOWS DOWN,

AND TOOK OFF FOR THE STATE LINE (AND HOME). I DID GET ACROSS THE STATE LINE BEFORE HE TURNED ON HIS LIGHTS.

THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO PAY IN ALL THESE YEARS AND MILES TRAVELING WITH THESE ART VEHICLES).

IF FINES ARE NOT PAID, MY STATE WILL SUSPEND MY DRIVER'S LICENSE (FOR NOT PAYING A FINE), AND THEY WILL PUT A

HERE ARE THE TREATS OF JAIL, AND HAVING MY LICENSE SUSPENDED THAT WERE WAITING FOR ME WHEN I GOT HOME

FROM WINNING A TROPHY AT THE HOUSTON ART CAR SHOW WITH LIBERTY AND FREEDOM VANS,

JAIL THREAT 1 (DO SEE THE NOTES ON IT!) ~ LICENSE SUSPENSION THREAT 1

JAIL THREAT 2 ~ LICENSE SUSPENSION THREAT 2

A DANGEROUS GRANNY IS ON THE LOOSE WITH TINY LIGHTS ON HER VAN!!!

(I HAVE SIX BEAUTIFUL KIDS RANGING IN AGE FROM 16-41, AND 8 GRANDKIDS)

AT THE TIME OF THIS TICKET, FREEDOM VAN WAS DONE UP FOR VALENTINE'S DAY, WITH RED, WHITE AND SEVERAL SHADES OF

PINK SILK ROSES, AND LITTLE PINK HEART SHAPED LIGHTS (MOSTLY BURIED AMONG THE FLOWERS)

This is Freedom Van, less than a week before getting these tickets, when I was in Indianapolis for a few days for dog shows.

WOW, THE LENGTHS THEY WILL TAKE TO 'PROTECT THE PUBLIC', AND

HERE IS FAIR WARNING. I HAVE CONSIDERED WHAT I SHOULD DO IN THE FUTURE, IF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PENNSYLVANIA IS IN MY WAY.

1. BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE (AS MY TWO ART VANS ARE MY MAIN TRANSPORTATION), JUST TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DRIVE NEXT TIME

PENNSYLVANIA IS IN MY WAY WHEN I'M GOING TO A DOG SHOW OR TO SEE MY GRANDKIDS IN VERMONT?

2. STOP AT THE STATE LINE AND DISASSEMBLE MY ART VEHICLE TO UNINSTALL MY LIGHTS, SO I CAN DRIVE 'LEGAL' ACROSS THE

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PENNSYLVANIA??? THEN, OF COURSE, I WOULD WANT TO PUT IT ALL BACK AFTER LEAVING PA!

3. DRIVE AROUND THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PENNSYLVANIA FROM NOW ON, WHEN TRAVELING FROM KENTUCKY TO VERMONT TO SEE

4. DECIDE THAT SUCH LAWS ARE STOOPID, AND NOT WORTH RESPECTING, THEREFORE I WILL HAVE TO ENGAGE IN CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.

(EXACTLY HOW I TREAT OUTDOOR SMOKING 'RESTRICTIONS' - BECAUSE THEY ARE IDIOTIC AND MEAN SPIRITED) AS A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN

(I DON'T EVEN LITTER - NOT EVEN CIG. BUTS!) THIS ONE REALLY OFFENDS ME, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER REASONABLE CHOICE.

Email me, and tell me which you would pick if you were in this situation, 1, 2, 3, or 4?

TURNING OFF ALL MY LIGHTS AT NIGHT IS A VIOLATION OF MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AS THOSE

LIGHTS ALLOW SOME OF THE SIGNS ON MY VANS TO BE LEGIBLE AT NIGHT.

I DO ALWAYS GO TO COURT WHEN ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO HARASS ME, AND/OR VIOLATE MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

I ALMOST ALWAYS WIN, SO MORE OFTEN THAN NOT I DON'T GIVE THE CULPRITS EXTRA ATTENTION BY PUTTING THEM ON MY

WEB DOMAINS. WIN OR LOSE, IT IS ALWAYS AN EXCUSE TO PARK ONE OF MY LOVELY VANS IN FRONT OF ANOTHER COURT

HOUSE, HAND OUT LOTS OF FLYERS, MAYBE EVEN VISIT A STATEHOUSE (MAYBE EVEN MORE THAN ONCE), AND MAYBE GET

ON TV OR IN THE NEWSPAPER AGAIN : ). WIN OR LOSE, THAT IS A WIN FOR ME.

I MADE TWO EXTRA TRIPS TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF PENNSYLVANIA STATEHOUSE ONLY BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO BE

'IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD' BECAUSE OF GETTING THESE TICKETS. (THANK YOU, TROOPER MCCULLOUGH : ) I VISITED SEVERAL

OTHER STATEHOUSES ON THESE TRIPS AS WELL. I LOVE JUST ABOUT ANY EXCUSE AT ALL TO DRIVE EITHER OF THESE VANS

WHEN I RETURNED FOR COURT ON APRIL 4TH, FREEDOM VAN WAS IN IT'S ST. PATRICK'S DAY 'DRESS', WITH SILK FLOWERS IN

ALL SHADES OF GREEN. IT LOOKS WICKED IN GREEN LIGHTS, TOO! I DROVE IT IN THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE IN LOUISVILLE

JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE COMING TO COURT IN PA. ON THIS TRIP, I VISITED NOT ONLY THE STATEHOUSE IN PA,

BUT ALSO CHARLESTON, WV (ON MY WAY THERE), AND DECIDED SINCE FREEDOM VAN HAD NOT BEEN TO WASHINGTON DC,

AND HARRISBURG IS ONLY ABOUT 2 HOURS FROM THERE, I DID DC - AND VISITED THE OHIO AND KENTUCKY STATEHOUSES ON

I DECIDED TO PUBLICIZE THIS ONE, AS THEIR LAW IS TRULY WRONG HEADED. THEY ACTUALLY ARE ATTEMPTING TO DICTATE

WHAT SORT OF STUFF RESIDENTS OF OTHER STATES MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ON THEIR VEHICLE. I FIGURE OTHER ART CAR

DRIVERS, OR THOSE WITH FOG LIGHTS, OR WHATEVER OTHER SORT OF ADDED LIGHTING MAY BE IN DANGER OF BEING

HARASSED LIKE THIS. OR, MAYBE THIS LAW IS ONE OF THOSE THAT IS SELECTIVELY ENFORCED, AND USED TO VIOLATE

THERE IS NOW A SIGN ON FREEDOM VAN, 'WARNING - HARASSMENT CITATIONS ARE INVITATIONS TO RETURN' I added the

'Harassment citations' lettering to the window AFTER receiving these tickets. I had a similar sign on the hood of Liberty Van for years.

NOTE:, since these tickets, on May 22, 2011, Liberty and Freedom Vans tied

for a third place trophy at the huge Houston Art Car Parade!
