Census

[Chris Fleming]

Even the census department themselves said that they don't enforce fines. It's all color of law threats. There's no law which allows congress to fine you. 4th and 5th amendment.

Check this one out:




Touching. A tear formed at my eye. Really.

Very well done in a subtle way in that it portrays someone wanting to keep their constitutional rights as a childish person. It equates standing up for your privacy with fear and childishness. If it is only a short form, then why do people also get the long ass form at some point? Guess that wouldn't look too good in the video.

was just reading the u.s. code that deals with the census.
if you're over 18 and refuse to answer the questions: fine of not more than $100
if you're over 18 and knowingly give answers that make the population count wrong (saying there are only 3 people in your house when there are actually 12): fine of not more than $5,000.

got a link 'cause I'd like to read up on that
