DHS is now regulating live entertainment in the U.S.

Muncie, Indiana - A local band leader and downtown bar operator is challenging the Indiana Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) authority to regulate and permit live entertainment.

Last April, IDHS through its fire and building safety division found Mike Martin of the Folly Moon violated state law by failing to obtain an entertainment permit for live music at the downtown establishment.

State law requires places of amusement and entertainment to have permits subject to the inspection of state fire and building inspectors. And the law defines entertainment places as night clubs, dance halls or cabarets.

Martin filed an appeal to the permit, saying he operated a bar and restaurant with occasional music played by his band, The Mike Martin Band, and others.

And in the challenge before an administrative law judge, Martin believed the state was not enforcing the law uniformly, only requiring permits for live music instead of electronic or even Karaoke that is also played at the Moon.

And the law really does not apply to restaurants or bars, he adds, along with concerns that the IDHS is trying to shut down small business with outdated laws.

John Erickson, IDHS spokesman, said it was up to the state to enforce the law.

The Department of Homeland Security says it is illegal to freely play music in The United States:

The Department of Homeland Security (An agency enacted through the Patriot Act) is now demanding through enforcement from The State Fire Marshalls that all live music played in the U.S. must have a permitfrom DHS.

This is an outrage to freedom and the ideals of the American people and our quickly evaporating rights. 

This is just the start to the reality of what DHS is going to do to the American citizens. The DHS is actually saying it is illegal to play music or operate a business where music is played for any reason without paying The Department of Homeland Security, and giving them much personal and private information. If The DHS can regulate the performance of a song where do you think they will stop?

The Department of Homeland Security does not have the jurisdiction to enforce laws in The United States. They have purposefully and misleadingly attached themselves to The Fire Marshall to circumvent American constitutional rights and automatically give themselves jurisdiction in every business in The United States. This is enforced through the Fire Marshall’s inspection of commercial public businesses.

Please stand with me, American Citizens everywhere, and business owners in demanding that we will not allow The Department of Homeland Security in our businesses and homes. We need all US Citizens and our elected officials to stand united against the unlawful abuses of The Department of Homeland Security and this increasingly fascist government. The Patriot Act is the only reason The Department of Homeland Security has any jurisdiction. This is intentional. This is the first bold and aggressive move by them. Please stand with us! Our children and grandchildren need us!

I and my business Folly Moon (a restaurant in downtown Muncie, IN) have a hearing with The Department of Homeland Security at The Indiana State House on Friday Aug. 2nd at 10a.m.

Police departments want bars to follow a no-serve list for drunks:
Wisconsin - The Janesville Police Department has joined several other Wisconsin law enforcement agencies in asking local taverns and liquor stores not to serve people who are habitually intoxicated.

Similar "no serve" policies exist in Green Bay and other areas, and a pilot program is planned for Milwaukee.

More departments likely will follow their example, said the executive director of the state's largest law enforcement group.

"We think these are very positive approaches to combat the widespread abuse of alcohol," Jim Palmer of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association said Wednesday.

"It is perhaps the beginning of a larger statewide trend, and I think you will see more departments explore this kind of approach."

Under Janesville's policy, an individual who has three or more alcohol-related incidents that result in a police call within a six-month period is placed on the no-serve list. If a person wants to contest the decision to be placed on the list, he or she can appeal to the city's Alcohol License Advisory Committee.

One person has opted to do that and has been left off the list until the committee can make a decision, said Deputy Chief Dan Davis. That leaves 10 people on the "no serve" list, which will be updated every six months.
