I just wanted to post this story to spread some awareness about what is happening here in the USA.
Now a closer look at what has been said here...
And a special note: This is even more Classic
Ok, here's the breakdown...
This man, whom was arrested for being in a parking garage, had refused to identify himself, therefore was arrested. This arrest took place on July 1st... today is now July 25th... that's 25 days. The man appears to not be wanted by anyone... not the Local Authorities, and apparently, not even wanted by the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, NSA, ATF, DOT, DOD, FDA, FAA, FCC, Section 7 or even Section 31... Not even wanted on any international list of wanted or otherwise "people of Interest" lists. As far as the Utah Sheriff's department can tell, not even wanted for killing Mosquitoes on the lovely, yet inter-galactic sanctioned protected earth (children's cartoon, Lilo and Stitch as reference). Who have I missed... No Agency wants this man, yet he has been held for more than 3 weeks for following what they told him. When they arrested him, they told him... "You have the right to remain silent..."
So if he is not "Wanted" for even so much as passing gas, why is he still determined "Guilty", and thus, the reasoning for imprisoning him... All this in a country that one of our constitutional laws "Innocent until proven guilty". And to add to that, last I checked, it was Federal law that a person could not be detained for more than 72 hours without charges. Sure, he was charged... for trespassing in a parking garage... what's the charge for that??? 3 weeks incarceration? Really... It was a minor charge, thus most likely a fine of what, $200? Average compensation for time served (at least in Oklahoma) is $7 per day. So that would equal to 29 days in jail. Let's see if they let him go or if this country has become what it has fight against for 235 years since we broke away from the rule of England.
If he's wanted, they should have found out he was wanted by now. Yet they hold him because as stated, "He either has to be wanted by some other state or he could be on some other registry or database", they say... Because he refuses to Identify himself, he "Must" be guilty of some gross crime... must be, right?
And about the second noted section... to put it into proper perspective... It gets a whole lot better here!

News on Yahoo said:A mystery man arrested on minor charges more than three weeks ago remains behind bars in Utah while law enforcement officials try to determine his true identity, which he refuses to reveal.
"This is really a strange case," said Lt. Dennis Harris with the Utah County Sheriff's Office. "He just doesn't want to be found."
The unidentified man, who has graying hair, a light beard and is believed to be in his 60's, was arrested on July 1 for trespassing in a parking garage.
He was booked into jail on three misdemeanor charges and has thwarted any chance of release, with or without bail, by refusing to identify himself.
"I've been trying to think from A to Z why he would want to stay here ... why he wouldn't give us any information," Harris said.
"He either has to be wanted by some other state or he could be on some other registry or database that has not shown up," he added.
Law enforcement officials say the man is "fairly well spoken and educated," but very guarded about his identity.
As a result of several short conversations with him, officers believe he may not be from Utah.
Officials gave the man a telephone calling card so he might contact friends or relatives, but he has not used it.
"He was very aware of what we were trying to do and he would not give us the slightest bit of information indicating where he was from or anything relating to his family situation," said Harris.
"We've had a lot of people call in but nothing has panned out. Nothing," he added.
Officials say in three weeks of jail the mystery man has shown a pleasant demeanor and has communicated that he is being treated well.
"He said the food has been great," Harris said.
"I realize that sometimes people want to go to jail because they are homeless, have nothing, they are destitute. I've seen that over the years. I just don't get the impression that's the reason. He just doesn't want to be discovered by somebody."
Now in his fourth week of incarceration, the man added another twist to the story recently by hinting he had business of some kind outside prison that he would need to attend to.
"He said there was a point at some time that he would need to get out of jail," Harris said. "That's the closest I can find of what he wants to do. And that makes no sense to me whatsoever."
Now a closer look at what has been said here...
1.) arrested on minor charges...
2.) arrested on minor charges more than three weeks ago remains behind bars
3.) remains behind bars in Utah while law enforcement officials try to determine his true identity, which he refuses to reveal.
4.) "He either has to be wanted by some other state or he could be on some other registry or database that has not shown up,"
5.) was arrested on July 1 for trespassing in a parking garage.
