Beit Shalom | Papers UPDATE: Brother Elliott has produced his papers and has been released by the Vigo County Jail and has a court appearance on Monday, July 9th. UPDATE 2: Elliott and Raymond have just retrieved their video camera, to find that the incident, which had been entirely caught on tape, is no longer recorded. Rather, the time is filled with black silence. A hearing has been scheduled for tomorrow morning. If Elliott pleads not guilty, the judge will hear the case at that time. Beit Shalom ministries -- an outreach of the Protestant Free Church Movement and strong proponent of 9/11 truth -- has been hassled in its "Denver to D.C. - Walk for the Truth" tour. Below is the latest from http://911truth.org. Please call the numbers below and politely yet firmly demand that freedom of speech be respected and that fascist tendencies be nipped in the bud before America becomes an unrecognizable country. Today, Sunday, July 8, 2007 Brother Elliott of Beit Shalom Ministries, (currently walking from Denver to DC for truth, an end to the war, as a call especially to Christians), was arrested and detained by West Terre Haute Police officers in the state of Indiana for Failure to Identify because he refused to show identification to Indiana law enforcement officials. I have phoned the Vigo County Jail where Brother Elliott was taken and I was told: * Brother Elliot is currently being detained at the Vigo County Jail charged with the crime of Failure to Identify a Class C Misdemeanor. * Brother Elliott was arrested by the West Terre Haute Police department and transported to the Vigo County Jail. * Brother Raymond was left on the side of the road in dangerous conditions and was not asked for id. * Brother Elliotts car has been impounded saying it was abandoned. It was later discovered that the car had been ransacked by West Terre Haute police. * Brother Elliott has to appear in court Monday morning. * I was also told by the jail staff that if Brother Elliott were to produce an ID, they would release him, but he still has to go to court on Monday to face the charges against him. These actions by Indiana police are blatantly un-Constitutional. The 4th Amendment to the Constitution reads: The right of the People to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizure shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. The brothers have not broken any laws and are not suspected of committing any crimes, yet are commanded to Show Your Papers! by Indiana law enforcement or be subject to arrest and persecution. This police state mentality from those who serve us must not go unchallenged. Please take the time to voice your opinion by politely calling the following Indiana state agencies. West Terre Haute Police Department 812.533.2114 Vigo County Sheriffs Department 812.462.3226 Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels 317-232-4567 Indiana House of Representatives (800) 382-9842 Indiana Senate (800) 382-9467 Indiana Attorney General Steve Carter 317-232-6201
