(Natural News) Americans have a little-known weapon at their disposal to shut down government tyranny in an instant, and it's known as jury nullification.

A recent episode of "Sovereignty International," available for viewing at REAL.video, discusses jury nullification at length, revealing how the Founding Fathers incorporated this powerful tool of justice into the Constitution as a failsafe against totalitarianism.

In a nutshell, jury nullification allows jurors – everyday people like you and I – to nullify court cases in which innocent people are being prosecuted for breaking unjust laws. One example of an unjust law is cannabis prohibition, an unconstitutional "law" that violates the natural right of Americans to use plants.

There are many other examples of unjust laws – red-light cameras that ticket drivers without a real-life officer present; property owners facing large fines or possible jail time for growing vegetables in their yards; and even capturing rainwater in barrels without "permission."

Pretty much any scenario in which a free individual is facing prosecution for a "crime" involving laws that are unjust or unconstitutional warrants jury nullification – otherwise the police state will only continue to grow larger and more authoritarian.

"The state is indistinguishable from a criminal cartel," explains the Jury Nullification module at REAL.video. "And jury nullification would put a stop to it."
