  Yes. Here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38603663 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38603663 Basically judge told me I was allowed to use the Internet while on bail and joked with me that as long as I didn't use it for anything illegal. Then when I retweeted the article "chaps" above wrote about EM not working etc, and I also tweeted about police misconduct (I was getting arrested every single day), it angered the local Sheriff's dept and they locked me up. The judge then basically made the most strained argument in history that he never gave me permission to use the Internet and that I was a bad person for Tweeting about the police under an assumed name (my Twitter account is also my name??). "Chaps" did his level best to help my lawyer, and we were 110% in the right, but the judge was days away from retirement, so fuck me lol
