Sovereign Citizen Court Fail #25

[@hairyferrit]

That judge treated his nonsense the way I wish many judges would treat them.

[@simonevans8979]

Yep, he's the DEFENDANT. Just plead guilty and take the jail sentence. Explaining the law to a Judge is farcical, and needs to be countered by a jail sentence.

[@matttartal7637]

He’s not a “judge”. He’s an “independent hearing officer”. It’s most definitely a kangaroo court.

[@matttartal7637]

“Defaulting” is a term used in commerce. What we have here is a commercial crime where a debt is due. 7:35

I love this judge. He was able to get him to admit he was Steven Johnson. And I loved when he told him that if Stephen Johnson isn't here, I'm going to find him in default! Like magic, he appeared. That scared the Sovereign Citizen right out of him for that minute. Lol 😆 🤣 😂 The judge will be really ready for him next time too.

[@LawTalkWithMike]

He was good 🙌

[@ED-es2qv]

No, he never did admit to being Steven. He was defaulted just like the judge threatened.

[@tracyhaverstick5672]

@@ED-es2qv Yes he did. However briefly, the judge said, "I'm going to find you guilty of all charges by default" Then coa coa puffs says. "I'm here, Steven Johnson". Then the judge says no, you said you're the representative. So I am finding you guilty by default". Then the kook goes back to his nonsense about finally going to the right court. I'd love to see that one. That judge will most likely uphold the default. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

[@ArtysCorpFiction]

The reason for the hearing was for a traffic offense. I remember stumbling upon the video he captured of the traffic stop a while back. Colorado treats minor traffic offenses as a civil infraction, so they apply both civil and criminal rules. The hearings are far more informal than criminal matters.

[@LawTalkWithMike]

Hi Arty 🤩

[@tuffjiggly8566]

Was gonna say the same thing but you beat me to it you quick fingered corporation. I think that's why the judge didn't call himself a judge but an "independent hearing officer" when officially starting the hearing

[@brianthomas2434]

@@tuffjiggly8566 I might be wrong but I believe in some jurisdictions, for low level cases, guys like Law professors can adjudicate , without being elected or appointed judges as such. It's been decades but when I appeared in Small Claims ( in NYC) I don't think I appeared before an actual judge. But Mike would know if they save REAL judges for the meatier cases or that I don't know what I'm talking about. Also, Mike, what is a "Special Master " in law?

[@4dakstriker]

This is a Toll road violation. You can hear at the beginning that the judge says e470, which is a major toll road around Denver. Likely he didnt pay tolls

They cite Black’s dictionary but deny that statutes and codes are law, even though the same dictionary defines them as laws created by the legislative process…interesting.

[@moosecat]

They've got a "salad bar" mindset...they're going to pick and choose which parts of the law they're going to follow or dismiss, so why not definitions in Black's Law, too? Hell...they pick and choose which volume they use, as the more recent editions have put the "driver is only for commercial purposes" nonsense to rest.

[@90sNostalgiaNerd]

@@moosecat Yup. AKA cherry picking. Auditors love to do it as well. They believe the first ammendment allows them to film/say whatever they want without acknowledging it can be subject to certain time, place, and manner restrictions. If they start making a scene, they can be asked to leave and eventually trespassed.

[@peepla7]

That's because they simply want something in writing that sounds plausible but they don't bother to read far enough to realize, hey, all the lawyers and judges are familiar with the laws too so when they try to quote this one but ignore that one, the judges and the courts and the lawyers are going 'no its this one, this one, this one, and this one and we ain't ignore nothing.' to sum it up. hahaha

[@TheUluxian]

Might just as well ask if they're familiar with Funk and Wagnells..it's all nonsense.

[@brianthomas2434]

Could you, as an attorney, explain the supposed point of him calling himself Steven of the Johnson family? When I hear from notorious western Canada whack job " Marcel of the Bassette family " it just says to me "I am a twisted, irredeemable, potentially violent fruit bat."

[@McPlot28]

I live in Denver metro. E-470 is a toll road. And the 2nd most expensive toll road in the USA. He likely isn't paying the tolls. You don't pay while on the road. They have cameras that capture your license plate number then they postal mail you a bill. Or you can setup an account and prepay.

[@robertkennedy5414]

[@forceinfinity]

@@robertkennedy5414 You would get a bill in the mail (granted, it may take much longer), and if you don't pay, you can end up in late charges. After 90 days it'll get sent to collections. And we all know how "fair" those people play...

This is a private toll road collecting on a debt incurred by a driver (sorry, TRAVELER) using the road without paying.

[@chrisn1157]

Your laugh just tops everything off. I love it.

[@dg20120]

He must have gone around a year without paying his tolls. The toll road authority allows 90 days with pretty minimal late fees. Then 120 days in collections. At that point late fees and collections total $70 that’s added onto the tolls. If he was using E470 on a daily basis, he could have run up a few hundred dollars in tolls.

From what I could make out, the Judge mentioned something about highway code, violations and fines. Sovcit probably got on toll roads that are "pay by mail" and didn't pay the tolls.

Furthermore I’m not a corporation I am a living entity known as Stephen of the Johnson family here to represent Stephen Johnson…" Meanwhile Ronnie is talking over you about his canons and judges he's got sent to prison (he even went himself to check they are still there) and Ernie is stood on his books giving one of his grandiose speeches.
