While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Freehold Township, new jersey statute enforcement officers arrest Kerry L. Edwards, accusing him of being Rodney McFadden, a man wanted for unpaid “traffic” (a legal term for goods, services, or persons in commercial “transit”) citations and “driving” (a legal term for “traveling” while transporting goods, services or persons in commerce) on a suspended license.  The fact that Edwards is four inches taller than McFadden, has no tattoos in contrast to McFadden, and fingerprints do not match, make no difference to the SEOs.

       Postscript: Edwards spent the next 30 days in jail before the SEOs would admit their error.
