When you apply for a registration, accept a drivers or operators permit, or even sign a W-4 or 1040 form, you are entering into a contract. You see, since taxation of ones income was specifically prohibited in the Constitution, the IRS must get you to agree to submit yourself to the taxation. This is true in the 50 states, while the Constitution does not apply to the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories, or Indian Reservations. Anyway, that said, in order for states, cities, or counties to infringe on your inalienable right to free travel via any means, they must get your permission to exert jurisdiction over you. When you sign your driving or operation permit, you agree to follow their rules, regulations, and statutes. If you never get a permit, you are never under any obligation to obey any traffic rule or device. You could be driving 120 in a 25, and the only charge they can put on you is operating without a permit. Then it is your turn to research the laws in your state. In some cases, you may find the only people required to register and hold a permit are those using the vehicles for commercial purposes. Of course, it may be difficult to find an honest judge, no, make that impossible. You would more than likely loose the case if you play by their rules. Dont play by their rules. If you get issued a citation, and are forced to sign the ticket, do this: ask the "officer" what will happen to you if you choose not to sign the ticket. "Officer" replies," you will be arrested". You say,"okay, officer". Write under your signature" Forced to sign under threat of going to jail". You see, any contract signed under threat is null and void. This holds true for registrations and DLs as well. Whenever you sign anything, make sure to indicate they were signed forcibly. When you got to traffic court, it will go something like this: Judge says"city of pigville vs. Joe Blow. Is Mister Blow present?" You respond,"Your Honor, I am here concerning the matter of Joe Blow." Judge asks, "Are you Joe Blow?" You reply, "Are you ordering me to answer that question, sir?" Judeg says, "Yes, answer the question, are you Joe Blow?" You respond, "yes". By identifying yourself, you are begining the court procedings and placing yourself under that courts jurisdiction. If you are forced to identify yourself, the jurisdiction becomes null and void, so if you are found guilty, you can go to a higher court, or sue the judge. Well, after you are forced to identify yourself, the judge reads the complaint and asks you what your plea is. Do not enter a plea. Say to the judge: "Your honor, I wish to envoke my 7th Amendment right to a trial by common law jury". Judge will at that point either deny your request if he is a fool, or else he will dismiss your case. If he will not give you the 7th Amendment right, you say, "your honor, am I to understand you are denying my right to a 7th Amendment right to trial by common law jury? The Constitution mandates that that right shall be preserved for all disputes in excess of $20. I demand to know how you are going to preserve this right." If he still refuses to dismiss the case, still do not enter a plea. This judge can be sued for violation of your civil and natural rights, and can be removed from the bench for this bullshit. It may take a lot of time and effort, but if you know how to play the game, you can win every time you go to traffic court. Just remember, a contract signed under force is null and void, and is as if it was never signed. Just a little tidbit of information. If you want more, read your Constitution, and take advantage of all your inalienable rights. Also, visit your library and read the IRS codes and the United Commercial Code. Also: NY vs. United States Lopez vs. United States You have the ability to be truly free, why not join me and take advantage of your inalienable rights? -- Eric Matthews eb795@cleveland.freenet.edu
