Here’s an entry for the “Job-Doing Hall of Fame.”
What if your job meant that you had to go arrest a guy who just wanted to live off the grid on his own land? What if that guy was a veteran? What if his only crime was refusing a service that he was supposed to pay for, like public water or utilities?
Is it actually acceptable to go to his place, kidnap him, and hold him against his will for that?
If YOU are the person who takes any of those actions, are you to blame if you’re “just doing your job?”
Meet Tyler Truitt
Tyler Truitt is a veteran who owns two acres of land in Madison County, Alabama. He and his girlfriend live off-grid. They have a clean, well-cared-for home with solar panels and a rainwater collection system. They don’t have loud parties, deal drugs, or do anything else that could be deemed anti-social.
Well, except refusing to tie into the grid.
And the government can’t have that.

The government needs a good kick in the pants!
We should all have the freedom to live off the grid if we so choose.
It's a catch 22 the government says don't sprinkle your lawn it uses too much water, don't set the temperature on your AC too low it uses too much electricity, don't turn your heat up too high it uses too much heating oil but if you do what the government says you are wrong and if you don't do what the government says you are wrong. How is anyone supposed to deal with bureaucratic idiots that like that.
What's illegal about being anti-social?
