Sunday Links

  • Via my fellow Reasonoid Jesse Walker, whole lotta’ Sabbath!
  • I’ve linked to this guy’s email exchanges in the past, but I didn’t realize he has a website where he archives them. Amusing.
  • Man arrested for posting locations of G20 police officers on Twitter.
  • So if you’re a big government-loving, locavore lefty, what do you do when the regulators come for the farmers’ markets?
  • New study further discredits the value of bite mark evidence. Every one of the cases where it has been used needs to be reviewed.
  • Kentucky Supreme Court rules the state’s sex offender law violates the Ex Post Facto clause of the U.S. Constitution.
  • Oklahoma sheriff, undersheriff get 27 months in prison for stealing money from motorists in a forfeiture scam. Have to say, though, the difference between legal forfeiture and what the sheriff was doing is pretty slight. Main difference here is that some of the money went directly into the sheriff’s pocket instead of the department’s forfeiture fund. Good on the feds for investigating and setting up a sting, though. We need more federal investigation of local civil rights abuses.
