We need to find out how to support this cop.

I finally filled the damned thing out and sent it in after a couple of 'notices' were left at my front door. 

Then I put a note on my front door explaining that I mailed my completed form in late.  It's still there now and will stay there at least until the end of the month.

The census lady that I talked too was quite nice, I just told her how many people lived in the house and that we were white (apparently) and she didn't press us for anymore info and no more census workers ever showed up. I was pretty surprised after all the stories I had heard.

HONOLULU (AP) - The case of a Hawaii Census worker arrested for trespassing while trying to do his job is heading to federal court.

It's the latest example of disputes this year between Census workers protected by federal law and residents who don't want to deal with them.

The Census worker, Russell Haas, found trouble on Hawaii's Big Island on March 20 when a resident refused to accept Census forms and told Haas to leave his fenced property.

Then the resident, a county police officer, called his co-workers at the Hawaii County Police Department. Haas was then arrested.

Census workers have met more hostility than they did in the last count. The agency tallied 436 incidents involving assaults or threats through June 29, more than double the 181 incidents in 2000.

Assaults and threats are bad things and counterproductive to any freedom movement. 

The cop in the original post went about it legally. He contacted his local police with the issues and apparently found sympathetic ears amongst various local officials. imo.

For that reason, I offer the story.
