Today, March 03, 2016, has been a very dark day for the Constitution, as badge-toting statist ego-maniacs arrested good Americans for standing up to the federal government’s criminality. Just hours ago, on March 03, 2016, the Salt Lake Tribune posted this article with a pictured fingerprint over-layed with the appropriate name for what this government has done – “CRIME” — Though the newspaper wants readers to think that the victims of these arrests are criminals, history will show that the government and its minions are the ones who actually have committed “crime”.
Also arrested on Thursday were: Gerald A. DeLemus, 61, of Rochester, N.H.; Eric J. Parker, 32, of Hailey, Idaho; O. Scott Drexler, 44, of Challis, Idaho; Richard R. Lovelien, 52, of Westville, Okla.; Steven A. Stewart, 36, of Hailey, Idaho; Todd C. Engel, 48, of Boundary County, Idaho; Gregory P. Burleson, 52, of Phoenix, Ariz.; Joseph D. O’Shaughnessy, 43, of Cottonwood, Ariz.; and Micah L. McGuire, 31, and Jason D. Woods, 30, both of Chandler, Ariz.

The FBI has been in the news everywhere lately, if they're not torturing folks in the mile high club or being investigated for trigger-happiness on US citizens, they're involved in arresting like-minded Bundites lest others quickly take up the mantel (that horse bolted a long time ago).
Seems to be more going on here beyond statutory land ownership, it's as if the government agencies involved are using tactics reflective of quashing stifling dissent.....

One of these people named (currently incarcerated) was the best man
at my wedding. He and I drove up together the day after the big event.
He and I did nothing but talk to people and take pictures. He is now
charged with "conspiracy against the government" and for what?
For doing nothing more than being drawn to an event which was
on the front page of the local newspaper.

Well they will get their day in court to prove they did nothing wrong. Arrest does not equal guilty.

I've said it before on ATS, there's a cost for going up against the system, or getting caught in the crossfire. If they don't kill you, they will destroy you. Even your family and friends will believe you are a terrorist, pedophile, murderer, etc. when they get done with you. You won't go down in history as a hero for taking them on. They will.
With an ever-increasing use of these technological and
analytical ‘intelligences’ being used "for the greater good"
and such system are becoming the norm (i.e., the police state).
Will the machine scan legislation passed by Congress to analyse
the particular crime that has been committed by an individual?
Then perhaps the machine can scan court case histories, to generate
algorithms for ‘best conviction outcomes’, or advising police agencies
specifically what crime has been committed and the optimum penalty.
Could the machine ultimately analyse whether we are guilty, or innocent?

Your source for the OP is the 'Oathkeepers' website, a place that made me fear for my sanity. Sorry, but I have no sympathy whatsoever for the Bundys or their whackdoodle friends. They reaped what they had sowed.
OH i do have soemthing i found interesting on th e finicum debacle.FINICUMS wife and lawyers said:This was not a traffic stop. It was an ambush with a roadblock placed on a blind curve along a lonely stretch of highway. I am told that in law enforcement and prosecuting circles this is called a “Deadman’s blockade,” and is designed to allow a “kill stop” which is illegal,” stated the widow.
