Multiple camera angles capture pissed policeman assaulting man over his "don't tread on me" hat. Supposedly you are not allowed to wear such a thing in court. This was filmed at district court in Keene, New Hampshire.

There's always historical precedent even when it comes to removing hats. Liberty is always radical and must be quashed by the self-appointed authorities.
"...The Quakers were natural enemies of slavery, with their fundamental belief in equality in a hierarchical society where that was still highly controversial. They believed above all else that every person is made in the image of God and carries the divine light, so it is blasphemous to elevate one above another.
They refused to raise their hats to their social betters or to call them "my lord", "my lady" or even "you", insisting on the familiar "thou". Their egalitarianism was still quite scandalous in the 18th Century, but it made slavery uniquely abhorrent to the Quakers.
The problem was that they were a dangerous sect of fanatics, according to the received wisdom, so no-one listened to a word they said. They were excluded from public office. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6476645.stm
