Tenth Amendment Center: Upset about a Trade Imbalance with China? Nullify the Ban on Hemp

...from Tenth Amendment Center

#1 exporter of hemp in the world? China.
#1 importer? The USA.

An unconstitutional federal ban has caused this. But states and people are starting to stand up and nullify – by legalizing, decriminalizing and simply growing and selling hemp anyway.

Stay tuned for our 2017 State of the Nullification Movement Report where we’ll share how things are going on hemp – plus other issues, like privacy, health care, education, gun rights, sound money and more.

...from Tenth Amendment Center PROVIDENCE , R.I. (Jan. 10, 2019) – A bill introduced in the Rhode Island House would prohibit “roadway surveillance,” including the use of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) without a warrant in most situations. Passage into law would also place significant roadblocks in the way of a federal program using states to help track the location of millions of everyday people through pictures of their license plates. A coalition of four Democrats introduced House Bill 5042 ( H5042 ) on Jan. 9. The legislation would prohibit “roadway surveillance” and bar police from using  ALPRs   unless “undertaken by law enforcement in the investigation of a particular violation, misdemeanor, or felony pursuant to a warrant or court order based on probable cause.” H5402 defines “roadway surveillance” as: “The act of determining the ownership of a motor vehicle or the identity of a motor vehicle’s occupants on the public roadways of the stat...

(Jan. 7, 2018) – A bill prefiled in the Missouri House would allow people with a medical waiver to possess firearm sound suppressors, partially nullifying some federal regulations in practice and effect. Rep. Ron Hicks (R-Dardenne Prairie) filed House Bill 302 ( HB302 ) on Dec. 18.

Passage of HB302 would end all state enforcement of fe...

Tenth Amendment Center: Maryland Bill Would Require Police to Get a Warrant Before Accessing Smart Meter Data

...from Tenth Amendment Center ANNAPOLIS , Md. (Dec. 26, 2017) – A bill prefiled in the Maryland House would require police to get a warrant before obtaining any information collected by “smart meter” technology. Passage of the bill would help protect privacy and ensure personal information doesn’t end up stored in federal databases. Del. Alfred Carr (D-18) prefiled House Bill 56 ( HB56 ) in October. The legislation would prohibit law enforcement officers from obtaining utility data recorded by a smart meter without a search warrant. Smart meters monitor home energy usage in minute detail in real time. The devices transmit data to the utility company where it gets stored in databases. Anybody with access to the data can download it for analysts. Without specific criteria limiting access to the data, these devices create significant privacy issues. Privacy Concerns The proliferation of smart meters creates significant privacy concerns. The data collected can tell anybody who hold...
