Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 12, 2009

Mark Ledford of Austin, Texas was puzzled when he saw a green Honda Accord parked outside his home with its windows were open, and keys still in the ignition.

Broken glass, a pair of men?s boots, a length of rope, and a woman?s bikini top could be seen in the back seat.

Mark called the police. Two officers arrived and shrugged off the matter, saying that the car was parked legally. A few days later, worried that the car might be a crime scene, Mark and Asia decided to poke around to learn the identity of its owner. The instant they did, the police arrived ? and arrested them for burglary. The Accord was a ?bait car? left by police in an attempt to lure people into an act that could be construed as a crime.

This form of entrapment is practiced by police wherever manufacturing crimes is considered more important than protecting and serving the public.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
