My Day in Court

"Paying this stupid fine would be an admission of defeat. More importantly, it would be an admission of guilt when there was none, to an unaccountable body of judges and cops who couldn't read their own damned signs. It therefore, in a way, would become a voluntary tax, and I will pay no voluntary taxes. There was a principle worth fighting for here. As an anarchist, I knew that I would have to fight." Column by B.R. Merrick.
