# Dudley Hiibel - PapersPlease.org :: Hiibel - a Nevada man was arrested for refusing to show ID. He was smoking a cigarette outside of the truck that his daughter was driving. This happened back in May of 2000. It will come before the Supreme Court on March 22. If the Supremes find in favor of the state of Nevada, "Papieren Bitte" (Papers, Please) will become the order of the day in the United Soviet States of America (USSA). The site includes the police video and court documents. Amicus briefs on behalf of Mr. Hiibel have been filed by The American Civil Libertires Union, The Cato Institute, The Electronic Frontier Foundation, The Electronic Privacy Information Center, The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, National Coalition for the Homeless, Judge David L. Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, National Alliance to End Homelessness, National Health Care for the Homeless Council, National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, PrivacyActivism, Cyber Privacy Project, and FreeToTravel.org. Briefs supporting the state of Nevada have been filed by the Solicitor General, The National Association of Police, and The Criminal Justice Legal Foundation. [lrtdiscuss] [End the War on Freedom] I have a pretty good idea how this is going to turn out. It's sad, because I can remember when "your papers please" was a cliched movie line used to show that a character was a member of the Gestapo or KGB. 9:33:36 PM    comment ()
