Illegal Immigration in New Ipswich, NH
http://www.nhinsider.com/10-questions/2006/8/24/ni-police-chief-garrett-chamberlain.html#comments
What a pile of bull shit. While I believe they shouldn’t be here illegally, this has been going on for countless decades under the watchful eye of the U.S Government. Lets waste town and state money on laws Chief Garrett Chamberlain knows he has no authority to enforce. This seems like his way of manipulating the real laws of this country because he may think they are not working. Problem is, all anyone sees is his flag waving smoke screen, first grade view, of an issue, much larger than he will ever be. Chief Garrett Chamberlain is a chief of police in one of the smallest towns in NH. What this means is that he has impressed the selectman enough to receive a monetary bonus partly due to because he put New Ipswich on the map. Temporarily of course. Great job, however it probably cost the state more – and that translates into you the resident paying for it. Congratulations Chief Chamberlain for accomplishing nothing! However, what you have shown us is how the police can stretch and manipulate the existing laws, to get us anyway they can, when they can’t arrest us any other way! You don’t even have to be Mexican either for them to do it to you! So Chief, do you like your cucumbers $1.00 each or $10 each? Yeah I thought so…

New Ipswich Police – Rotten Neighbor
I have heard about Rotten Neighbor before and have been to the site a few times. Seeing the New Ipswich Police on this site was not so much shocking as it was earned by them. For years of doing nothing they have indeed earn the spot as ROTTEN NEIGHBOR of New Ipswich, NH. Congratulations! Someone said to me that it didn’t involve a CNN headline so…and it was not illegal alien graffiti either- So why bother.

Ignorant New Ipswich NH Dog Owners Are Out To Get You
AD
If you came across this blog because you have been attacked, assaulted, bitten by a dog in New Ipswich, NH or any town and you feel the police and dog owners are trying to make you the aggressor or criminal, please let this site know. We will put you in contact with past cases/information you can use, and people in this town that will help you in your case/complaint against the cops and complaining party. It’s a small town police department which in many cases do more harm than good for a community. Larger towns and cities would laugh at the things smaller towns file charges for. -But hell it’s not their life it’s yours- so they won’t care. There is no room for ignorant cops in this community. Cops who are ignorant when it comes to bad dog behavior, and the owners who let it continue because they just don’t care. Email: townlosers AT gmail.com

Click It Or Ticket – Road Block? = USSR Not USA
Wow we are all impressed, seeing you stop traffic to check for seat belt use. The use of a rhyme is of course predictable and incredibly queer. Of course it’s always for our safety, because we are to DUMB to make this decision ourselves. Save me the cost of health care speech. Health care and insurance will always be expensive regardless. Of course the Click It Or Ticket TV commercials always end with a cloned officer, that looks and acts more like a Nazi Storm Trooper then a human being. Sorry can’t relate to you. I don’t get your caring message. What I do get is your willingness to want to intimidate, and your seething need to want to beat me up if I disagree. I guess that is why the day of the officer holding the hand of a toddler is over. You’re too scary for us ignorant plain folk. Roadblocks are for war time and leaving/entering the country. When we are in a car the chance is good we are going somewhere. You are the last person we want to get a speech from.

Emails to Police Private? Think Again!
Not to long ago I sent an email to New Ipswich, NH Chief Garrett “Hollywood” Chamberlain in confidence that was of a private nature and expected he would be the only one reading it, since he was the only one it was addressed to. I was wrong.
To my amazement and horror only a few hours later, I received a reply from the selectman replying to the chief and myself. Immediately I thought I sent the selectman an email. However, knowing I am a bit knowledgeable about the procedure of sending email, I knew I never sent the Selectman anything. Actually it was the selectman’s lack of knowledge or error of what happens when you hit “reply to all” instead of “reply to sender” that triggered his response to the Chief and myself. This in turn triggered my questioning response. I immediately replied to the selectman, as I know the button do that, and he replied back. -No the response was meant for the Chief he said.
He continued to inform me on about how the Chief was under his yearly review and my email was sent to him to show that he was responsive to the citizen’s questions and concerns. How thrilling I thought to be part of such a process that in the end will only benefit one person, and that person is not “I”. It benefited the Chief to the tune of approximately $00,000 in a review bonus of course approved by the town heads.
I would have expect perhaps an email to me from the chief asking if it was ok for my email to be used for review purposes, but non-was received. Why? Perhaps my permission was not needed? If emails must be forwarded for answers pertaining to the TOPIC at hand ok then fine. However not for personal gain.
Maybe this is an example of the arrogance that spills over in Police Departments who actually think I would be ok with it. Since they are sworn to uphold the law, and they in their minds “only”, probably felt they had the right to make that decision – on my behalf. Maybe later on your behalf too. Remember we can trust them, as there has never been a police officer selectman, mayor, prosecutors, lawyer…ordinary person that has ever been dishonest.
Sorry, I don’t share the same belief. I trust my wife, child, my close friends, and my dog (sometimes). I don’t see him on the list, why would he be? -Because he is a sworn in? You’ll have to do better than that. I don’t know him. I don’t even know the Selectman. Nothing personal, but employment type and position does not guarantee trustworthiness.
My response to the selectman, “Always glad to help the Chief out…” Right!?
So if you’re thinking about ever sending the New Ipswich Police Dept anything through an email, don’t. Especially, if it is of a sensitive or private nature.
What you perceive as a sensitive email issue could be sent around the town on their server, for the sole purpose of the Chief’s benefit “monetary as we all know” or any officer’s gain. Perhaps it was just a slip on the Chief’s part, or just business as usual knowing what’s best for all. Since I never had the chance to be asked, here is my answer: NO. It can’t be used and emailed around town- NO sorry request DENIED! Wasn’t the CNN and FOX headlines enough, why did he need my email to prove his value to the town of New Ipswich? Stardom clouds the judgment apparently.
Since email is the least secure way to send info I’d appreciate email only sent to the person that it was intended for to read it. Why should I worry? I mean you can trust them right? Right? Anybody…
Remember I received the response from the selectman in error and would never have known about my email being sent around town. To boot this is the Chief of Police. Shall we now trust the patrolman too, as we all know work independently on a daily basis, without any hand holding, or over sight from the Chief.
The lesson here is once you send an email always assume it may be read by someone other than who it was intended for. If you think you can trust the police to hold anything you send to them in confidence you are sadly mistaken. I can only assume the copy the selectman received never went anyplace else… Except back to me. We can’t leave the sensitivity of emails to one-person’s discretion.
At work the other day I received credit card information on someone I didn’t know, as it was sent to me in error. I don’t work with credit card information at my position. Imagine now, the seriousness of privacy issues relating to the email system and other peoples definition of private, and semi private. I believe the town needs a privacy policy relating to emails only addressed to one person in confidence. Maybe they already have one? If they do, it’s not working.
The email sits on my server with all date and responses intact. The pure fact that I don’t dump the email message on this email is due to the privacy I have for others and my own private inquiries to others.- I could never make this stuff up.

New Ipswich NH, Another Year in Graffiti
Another Year in Graffiti. All that has changed are the names on the roadway. As tourists pass by New Ipswich, NH during the New England Fall foliage season one can only imagine the impression that are left on their minds. So it’s now December and it’s been another year of spray painted roads in this rural town of about 4500. Year after year a few kids spray paint the roads during high school graduation around May and the paint usually stays down on the roadway all year long. Actually it’s graffiti and it against the law to deface public property. This is garbage you see on the side of buildings in Boston as you pass by in a train. Obviously it reduces the value of all property in town, but especially property within a stone throw of the graffiti. The question that most of the town residence would have is why is it still continuing to happen? The police seem unable to stop this even when graffiti shows up only a few hundred feet down from their police station, year after year, on one of the most highly traveled roads in New Ipswich Rt 124. One would think that since kids hang in-groups that the names on the road would be a good lead on who or what groups of friends seem to be doing this.
I haven’t seen the police with the culprits out there in the streets of New Ipswich scrubbing the streets down. This may seem to some today as cruel and unusual punishment. Though, this would be assuming they would even have the know how to catch them. I’ll give them a hint – “It happens every year and in the same spots, probably the same weekend too.”
The top 10 reasons people think this continues to happen yearly, but you may have others:
- Some local teens do not care, are ignorant, and since own nothing of any real value related the graffiti on public property as a victim less crime.
- Some parents are definitely turning a blind eye. The names on the road are probably the names of your kid and the friends he or she hangs out with. Maybe you don’t want to make that connection…
- In the spirit of graduation the police are ignoring the issue and a small percentage of town children are victoriously continuing this town ghetto tradition.
- There are other more important crimes to solve, especially the ones the police know they can actually solve.
- They have tried, and are continuing to try, but are still baffled at how the huge graffiti still manages to appear under their radar.
- This crime is not as important because most of the people complaining are homeowners who are only concerned with the beauty and value of their neighborhood.
- The police do not have the high tech technology it would take to stop this, MMM? I don’t know that doesn’t sound right now does it!? One would think a low-tech stakeout or a cheap video camera would find the culprits especially when it happens year after year and at the same locations.
- Maybe they are waiting for the culprits to feel guilty and turn themselves in?
- It’s not a real issue to the police, because no one has been hit by a car while painting the roadway- yet.
- It’s not illegal immigrant graffiti.
One final thought. Maybe next year will be the year the graffiti will be stopped. It’s been a yearly event in New Ipswich so we predict not. Don’t ask the police to stop this, as you’ll only be wasting your time like all the others who have come before you already. The community of locals need to get involved in this one. We know the police are not responsible for the up bringing of these criminals, but they are responsible to stop it or reduce it. Perhaps with all the carpenters in town they could erect a large billboard for them to deface instead of the street. At least then they could get credit for their work. So are the the police turning a blind eye, or is this issue much more complex than a commoner can understand? What do you think?
A few more tourist pictures of the center of New Ipswich, NH. These picture were taken about 8 months after they first showed up.
“Anyone looking at the foliage?”
Feel free to comment on this child like generational rite of passage.
