It´s a scandal -- the misguided government policies and overzealous enforcement that have victimized ordinary Americans. That´s the story Randall Fitzgerald tells in "Mugged by the State". Fitzgerald uncovers example after example of government harassment, including: a woman taken to jail for not wearing a seatbelt; a family diner seized under eminent domain laws; a couple who found army helicopters hovering over their land in a dispute over wetlands; and others. Fitzgerald, a longtime reporter for "Reader´s Digest", gives a voice to the countless Americans around the country whose freedoms are being violated by the very government that should be protecting them.
