Can you do a video on the doctrine of duress and Acquiescence , they are very important, police are now removing duress buttons to try hide duress

[@AnthsLawSchool]

I think you and I might have different understandings of duress. I struggle to see how it could be relevant in policing.

[@commonlawrights9514]

@@AnthsLawSchool yes, it’s blown my mind away, as far as can Ascertain the policy offerers are forming verbal contracts and that why they have the second witness with them all the time, but I can assure you they certainly know about the doctrine of duress 😂 it’s all very very interesting 🧐 I had an view of police being honest, after years of investigation they are the most fraudulent, corrupt organisation. The fines themselves have no basis, the charges have no basis. It’s interesting

[@AnthsLawSchool]

@@commonlawrights9514 mate basically none of that is true though:) Police Powers and Responsibilities Act, mate, that's where the powers come from.

Dose the "GOVERNMENT "oparating as a CORPORATE ENTITY have a contract with Principal . I an talking about equality TITLE and LEGAL TITLE. Do they have a contract with the living man.

[@stevenmeek9756]

Thank you for the knowledge.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

No, Steven, and they don't need one. All of the stuff you have been taught about the idea that governments are merely corporate entities in disguise is nonsense, I'm afraid, peddled by people who are very good at appearing to have knowledge, but who are in fact quite ignorant. I'll try to lay out a couple of facts, because it's a year or so since I last had to have this argument on this channel. First, it is true that governments are a "body corporate" in the sense that they are an organisation comprised of people, but with a separate legal identity. That's not the same as saying that a government is a "corporation" or a "corporate entity". Second, the *reason* a government is different to a corporation is the notion of sovereignty. A government is sovereign, because it is recognised by all the other sovereign nations as being sovereign. Being sovereign, it has the right to make laws within its territory, and those laws apply to everyone in that territory, whether they like it or not, and whether they agree or not. A normal corporation is not sovereign, and cannot make laws with anyone. It can only make contracts. Individuals are not sovereign. Corporations are not sovereign. Only countries are sovereign, and within their sovereign territory, they make the rules. Individuals have only as much freedom as their sovereign governments allow them - which works really well in a free country like Australia, but much less well in a dictatorial country like, say, Burma or Russia. Now, I've given you a length and reasoned answer. I'm not going to debate with you - I'll be deleting any further responses you make, because I am trying to educate people on this channel and I don't want them to become confused by the theories of the tin-foil-hat brigade.

[@stevenmeek9756]

@@AnthsLawSchool fair enough, thanks for your response.

[@farahs3481]

This is English Law right?

[@AnthsLawSchool]

Australian - very similar to English but with a cooler accent, and more deadly spiders :)

[@joannthomases9304]

Figure a way to cover all workers. All this is ridiculous to go through this much back and forth over anything. I could never run any company if i had all this non sense. I someone works for me as a company i'd get a better ins. Company. Contracts are too much back and forth. Make is simple with really good ins. Or forget the whole business. Get married to a man that has a guarantee that the wife isn't left out and has a decent group to back he and her. Unless she left him. This is why our world is soooo mixed up. This jibber jabber of non sense. All the if's and butts and ridiculousness. An idiot with good common sense, knows what to do, wothout all this crazyness. We need to rid courts..period if we have to do all of this.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

I too hope that one day common sense will be universal and lawyers will be unnecessary. I can't see it happening any time soon though.
