Banned in Boston:
Erroll Tyler's Fight for Economic Liberty
It should not take seven years and a team of lawyers to open a small
business. Yet that is precisely the case for Erroll Tyler, an aspiring Boston-area
entrepreneur who has been trying to open Nautical Tours, a cutting-edge
amphibious vehicle tour service based in Cambridge.
Even though Erroll's vehicles won't pick up or drop off passengers in
Boston, the city insists that he needs a special sightseeing license. Were
he in business now, Erroll would face fines and a month in jail if his
passengers were caught looking out the window. In a cruel twist, the city
refuses to even consider granting him the special license. Read more about this case

To that end, IJ produced the following videos in-house to tell the stories of our clients and their fight for individual liberty.
None of this — the cases or these videos — would be possible without the continued generosity of our donors.
We hope you enjoy them and share them with those who need a little inspiration.
