Anyway, so this was in the Morris County section of
The Star Ledger (NJ's state paper) and I just think this guy is fucking awesome. For those not from this area, Mountain Lakes a town next to mine that is really, really rich and filled with an amazing quantity of tools & asshats, especially the police dept.
'Thought Police' car is impounded
Mountain Lakes: Police impounded Fred Kanter's "Thought Police" car over the weekend, police and Kanter himself said.
For the last week or so, Mountain Lakes' perennial gadfly has parked a Ford Crown Victoria on the Boulevard. The car has been painted to look like a police car, but across the side it reads, "Thought Police" and "Mountain Flakes."
Elsewhere, it bears the slogans "to serve and protest," and "mind control division."
Kanter has been arrested twice in the last year for disrupting meetings of the local zoning board and borough council. In April, he was charged with harassment for parking a beat-up 1978 Lincoln Continental twice in front of Mayor Stephen Shaw's home. He says the town is denying him his rights to free speech.
Kanter said he would fight the charges in municipal court later this month.
Honestly, I just think this is funny as all fucking hell. I'm just disappointed I didn't know that car was parked on the Boulevard, because I would have totally been down there taking pictures. I also want to know just how exactly parking a beat up car in front of the mayor's mansion is harassment, even if owning a beater car is probably the worst crime in Mountain Lakes.
