New Hampshire license plates espouse a powerful statement of freedom, “Live Free or Die”, but some elected Reps in the State legislature seem to believe otherwise.
A new Bill before the house shows how far freedom and courage has fallen.
It is proposed that an employee of a retail business can witness against a person for refusing to comply with them and have someone charged with second degree assault JUST FOR FAILING TO COMPLY (no assault or threat of assault is needed).
“A person is guilty of a class B misdemeanor if such person assaults, threatens to assault, or refuses to comply…”

What say you New Hampshire folk? IS this good with you?
If you are from another state, is your’s next or already on the way?
NOTE: why “refuse to comply” when you can “respectfully decline” and note your constitutional exemption.
