If he wanted to have his physical address kept private he should have consulted an attorney about how to do this BEFORE he filled out a form that clearly states you are subject to a felony if you provide false information . It does not say unless you feel you have a good reason. He is an adult and certainly, he could have made time to have this all figured out before hand. He is adult enough to know that putting your hands on anyone unless they are an imminent threat, is assault. Since the police were summoned and Cobb was charged and convicted of assault I am presuming  there was no imminent threat. Don't get me wrong I am all for violating laws that infringe on personal freedoms or that benefit a few at the expense of many but neither of these examples is ringing my civil protester bell. Apparently, his personal desire to run for commissioner out weighed his aversion to knowingly commit a felony and his hope was that it would not be found out.  I find that very troubling.
