Wilson says Parker not being harassed, was strip searched for weed
Sheriff Steve Wilson arrested Gregory Parker on Saturday but did so according to protocol, according to responses to inquiries about the treatment of the Rossville, Ga., tradesman and his family.
Sheriff Wilson says Mr. Parker “has not received special treatment or harassment” at his hands. His officers had a warrant but did not show it, he says. He demurred on a question about his deputies’ use of profanity, alleged by Mr. Parker’s wife, Kasee.
Sheriff Wilson did not make himself available for an interview Monday about the arrest and search of the Parker residence. But he responded within hours to questions posed by email.

Prosecution of dissent
We should understand that Gregory Parker is active in defense of the ancient right of free communication and movement. He faces legal threats but also political threat as dissenter to the conventions of corporate America and stands against establishment norms and presuppositions. The main one operative in Georgia, as in Tennessee, is that all movement by car, on the people’s roads, is a privilege, and not a right.
This commonplace is enforced strictly in Walker County.

Sheriff Wilson has gone after Gregory Parker for a set of crimes based on his widely shared theory that there is no liberty of movement by car. As do political regimes everywhere in United States, Sheriff Wilson holds that the Georgia trucking statute controls all use of the road and that there is no private use. Even people exercising rights, according to this theory, must ask the state for permission to exercise them and to be taxed on these rights in their exercise, in these people’s going to and coming from places and locations of their exercise.
The people of Walker County dare not believe they can use the people’s roads for private or pleasure use and to exercise their rights on them without having to give account to him or other authorities.
These rights he forbids to be practiced would include the right to free speech, religion, bearing arms, political association, free association, personal necessities, exercise of lawful and harmless callings, abortion and many other rights established by constitution or by courts.
The drug prosecution for harmless plant life is part of the modern paradigm of a state “war” upon the people. The war on drugs parallels the war on private movement, and in Sheriff Wilson’s actions are combined against the family of Mr. Parker.
Who is Gregory Parker, and what is he doing in liberty?
You continue to describe attorneys, judges, persons acting as Sheriffs, police, and police chiefs (all various corporate “do-boys”), along with mayors, and commissioners and/or members of the corporate board, as “authorities”.
Yet, it appears that you have never asked, nor ever answered my simple question to you, and them, as to what you the source of this authority that they seem to claim, and that you easily concede to.
Exactly where and how do these corporate do-boys come upon any Lawful authority over and/or with regard to the People of a Republic county, or state?
Since the Legislature is a Lawful delegate of the People, that is not lawfully authorized to delegate anything to anyone, or anything else.
Where does some appointed administrator, paid by a corporation, such as Lorrie Miller (chief magistrate), come upon any actual Lawful authority to de-construct anything?
Where does Steve Wilson of Georgia come upon any actual Lawful authority to make determinations with regard to one of the People of Georgia, such as Greg Parker?
For as long as this proper question goes unanswered, and no lawful authority actually exists to be cited, this incident Saturday afternoon can only be taken for what it actually is.
It is an assault, an intentional beat-down of a man, and his family, that has taken the courage to demand answers to these proper questions, and has stood, and withstood the violence that has come in response.
That violence has come, instead of any actual claim of Lawful authority, with regard to him, as a man, one of the People of Georgia.
If it were reported as such, perhaps the other People of America could comprehend what this war is all about. It is a war against you and me. To hell with the attorney perspective.
Please leave our country of laws and emigrate to some type of lonely island where there is no community of people.
