Art of Liberty Foundation Projects and the Thick Red Line

The guest promotes several initiatives, including an Indiegogo campaign for the fifth edition of his book and the "Thick Red Line Project." The latter aims to educate police officers on natural law and encourage them to refuse to enforce victimless crimes. By building community support for officers who say "no" to politicians, the project seeks to end abuses like civil asset forfeiture and mask mandates.

Civil Asset Forfeiture and Police Seizure Statistics

Civil asset forfeiture has reached a level where police seizures of cash and property sometimes exceed the total value of assets lost to traditional robberies. Law enforcement can legally take cash from individuals without charging them with a crime, provided they claim the money is "suspicious." This practice is criticized as a tool for government self-funding that bypasses due process.
