United States News Title: This is School in a Police State - Yearbook Photo Prank Lands Teen in Jail with 70 Criminal Charges Mesa, AZ — After the Red Mountain High School released their yearbooks this year, someone noticed a peculiar image that had made it to print. That image has landed senior Hunter Osborn, 19, in jail and facing dozens of charges. This week, Osborn was arrested and charged with 69 counts of indecent exposure, a Class 1 misdemeanor, and one count of furnishing harmful items to minors, a Class 4 felony — all over a dare. The charges occurred after Osborn’s teammates on the Red Mountain High football team dared him to expose his penis during the photo for the yearbook. Mesa police Det. Steve Berry explained the dozens of charges stem from the number of students, ages 15 to 19, who were present at the time the photograph was taken. In spite of no student reporting it, or even noticing it prior to the yearbook being printed, Osborn still faces the charges. The yearbook was distributed to some 3,400 students and apparently none of the staff noticed the blunder. None of the staff, who printed the actual photo of the penis have been charged. Of course, exposing your penis is not the wisest move in the world. However, this was a high school kid’s prank. He wasn’t flashing children at a local park. These charges are ridiculous and show just how far the police state has progressed in the last decade. The statement from the Mesa Public Schools system says it all:
(function(d) { var params = { id: "c5e61464-405e-47d1-bf21-d8047e261214", d: "dGhlZnJlZXRob3VnaHRwcm9qZWN0LmNvbQ==", wid: "130998", exitPop: true, cb: (new Date()).getTime() }; var qs=[]; for(var key in params) qs.push(key+'='+encodeURIComponent(params[key])); var s = d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.async=true; var p = 'https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http'; s.src = p + "://api.content.ad/Scripts/widget2.aspx?" + qs.join('&'); d.getElementById("contentad130998").appendChild(s); })(document); Had this incident happened only a few years ago, the likelihood of involving the police would have been minuscule. Nowadays, however, police are the go-to resource for schools. After he had been arrested, Osborn was released and fitted with an electronic monitor as to await his potentially life-changing court date. Luckily, students at the school do not feel the same as the staff who were compelled to involve the cops in a silly prank. “He made a dumb mistake a little bit, but I don’t think he should be charged so heavily for that,” senior Zach Anthony said. Anthony and Brooke Bodrero, a sophomore, said they would not have noticed the offending image without being instructed where to look, reported CBS 5. “It’s something that’s going to be on his record for the rest of his life,” Bodrero said. “The consequences are a little harsh.” “I hope that something can be done so that this doesn’t ruin his life, his career,” said the neighbor, who asked to be identified as Jim. “He’s been a good neighbor. He doesn’t go out and party all the time. He has a job that he works at; he’s punctual. He gets up and goes to school every morning. He gets up on Sunday and goes to church. I really feel for the guy.” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Comments (1-20) not displayed.
If I knew where you lived, I'd come over and beat the shit out of you just on general principle. 13-1402. Indecent exposure; exception; classification A. A person commits indecent exposure if he or she exposes his or her genitals or anus or she exposes the areola or nipple of her breast or breasts and another person is present, and the defendant is reckless about whether the other person, as a reasonable person, would be offended or alarmed by the act. B. Indecent exposure does not include an act of breast-feeding by a mother. C. Indecent exposure to a person who is fifteen or more years of age is a class 1 misdemeanor, except that it is a class 6 felony if the defendant has two or more prior convictions for a violation of this section or has one or more prior convictions for a violation of section 13-1406. Indecent exposure to a person who is under fifteen years of age is a class 6 felony. D. A person who is convicted of a felony violation of this section and who has two or more historical prior felony convictions for a violation of this section or section 13-1403 involving indecent exposure or public sexual indecency to a minor who is under fifteen years of age is guilty of a class 3 felony and shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment as follows: Mitigated Minimum Presumptive Maximum Aggravated 6 years 8 years 10 years 12 years 15 years E. The presumptive term imposed pursuant to subsection D of this section may be mitigated or aggravated pursuant to section 13-701, subsections D and E. Evidently, IT IS A FELONY. The people of that state SAYS IT IS A FELONY... who the fuck are you to say what's a crime and what isn't? The people that live in that state feel strongly against small children (children under 15) being exposed to. Small children did in fact see this scumbags genitals. TO WIT; it is a felony. It's a liberal trait to minimize personal responsibly. YOU DO THAT 24/7 HERE AT LF. Drug users do no wrong, people that fight with the police are innocent.... and our millennials THINK JUST LIKE YOU... Fucked up and irresponsible. We have a great big anything goes society now because of liberal shitbirds like you. Come see me with the same offer... and sign a waiver of liability before doing so.... because I'd expect to answer for any law I break... and assault would just be the start with a scumbag like you. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح #22. To: GrandIsland (#21) Charges Dropped Against Arizona Football Player Who Exposed Himself in Yearbook The Arizona teenager who flashed his genitals in the yearbook photo of his high school football team won't face charges, prosecutors say.
Hunter Osborn, now 19, was arrested Saturday for the stunt and was charged as an adult with 69 counts of misdemeanor indecent exposure — one count for every "victim" who appeared in the picture, police said.
Osborn, a member of Red Mountain High School's varsity football team, was also charged with a felony for furnishing harmful items to minors, and was ordered to wear an electronic monitor upon his release.
But the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said Wednesday that it would not pursue the felony charge because "evidence does not establish a violation of the statute."
County prosecutors forwarded the misdemeanor charges to the city of Mesa. In response, Mesa police said that none of the people in the photo wanted to press charges and "the case will be closed."
Osborn had pulled the prank on a dare, but later said he was "disgusted" by his actions, Mesa police told NBC affiliate WGBA. An online petition was started by supporters to "Free Hunter Osborn." “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul![]() In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state.

The couple was headed to Salt Lake City, Utah to see a hearing specialist for an ear infection Adam had. A drug-sniffing dog was triggered off the scent of the car, inciting a search of the vehicle. No drugs or paraphernalia were found, but the officer did find $107,520 in a suitcase and the wallet of Jennifer Perry. No crime was committed, and no charges were ever filed against the Perrys, but the cash was seized and turned over to the federal government. Authorities used civil forfeiture laws to seize the money under presumptions the cash was tied to illegal activity.

It's fact. 2) I didn't say that at all... that's the yella spin you put on what you don't agree with. Of course there needs to be evidence of a crime before proceeds are confiscated or siezed. Nobody says otherwise, YOU JUST WANT THE SHEEP OF THIS FORUM TO THINK THAT'S THE NORM... to sell your pro drug AGENDA. 3) No...

Well, you got one thing right anyways. American Cops Now Steal More Property than All US Burglars Between 1989 and 2010, U.S. attorneys seized an estimated $12.6 billion in asset forfeiture cases. The growth rate during that time averaged +19.4% annually. In 2010 alone, the value of assets seized grew by +52.8% from 2009 and was six times greater than the total for 1989. Then by 2014, that number had ballooned to roughly $4.5 billion for the year, making this 35% of the entire number of assets collected from 1989 to 2010 in a single year. According to the FBI, the total amount of goods stolen by criminals in 2014 burglary offenses suffered an estimated $3.9 billion in property losses. This means that the police are now taking more assets than the criminals. The police have been violating the laws to confiscate assets all over the country. A scathing report on California warns of pervasive abuse by police to rob the people without proving that any crime occurred. Bloomberg News has reported now that Stop-and-Seize authority is turning the Police Into Self-Funding Gangs. They are simply confiscating money all under the abuse of this civil asset forfeiture where they do not have to prove you did anything. Prosecutors are now instructing police on how to confiscate money within the grey area of the law. Cops Now Take More Than Robbers
Created in the early days of the nation's war on drugs, asset forfeiture was designed to grab the proceeds from drug kingpins. But most of the money now is grabbed from ordinary citizens. According to a study last year, about 80 percent of the time, seized property is taken from people who have never been charged with anything. That same study, by the Drug Policy Alliance, found wanton abuses in California cities. Police are not supposed to budget forfeiture proceeds, but they increasingly depend on the revenues to fund their operations. “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul![]() In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state.
