Census worker taken to court for trespassing
By MARK NIESSE (AP) – 5 hours ago

"HONOLULU — In these divisive times, Census worker Russell Haas has come to expect some resistance when he goes door to door to count the residents of the rugged communities near Hawaii's Kilauea volcano. He didn't expect to get arrested."

"An attempt to get one resident, a county police officer, to fill out Census forms landed Haas in the back of a patrol car with a trespassing charge."

This is the persons job, this is [*SNIP*] up. No criminal charges should be filled against him.

Awesome....
That is realy good news. I hope there will be more of this in the future!

I don't trust the Govt to choose people to come to my door, I don't want them asking me questions, spying or looking around. Not that I have anything to hide, I just don't like my privacy invaded. Send the dang forms in the mail and if folks want to return them they will. Otherwise the govt. can make an estimate like they do with everything else.
