I know several success stories because I've had two charges "dismissed" shortly after raising the issue (jurisdiction). I don't know specifically why two charges have been dismissed. All I know for sure is they dont even want to say WHY. So it will remain a mystery and a well guarded secret. Maybe they just felt like being lenient that day?

What more judges need to say explicitly is, "Sir, you've cited that once jurisdiction is challenged, it must be proven before anything can continue. Your mistake is that you think that means it must be proven *to you.* That's wrong. It needs to be proven to me. When *I* rule that this court has jurisdiction over you, the matter is decided and it doesn't matter whether you agree or not. The question has been addressed, and you can't use that argument anymore." Then, you can go into the "If you don't drop it and answer my question, you're going to be held in contempt of court." But you'll have laid the foundations of why. Even though they still don't believe you, I've seen a few of them who actually dropped the jurisdiction question and moved on to other stuff when they were faced with that... because they did manage to grasp that they weren't going to be able to delay that way any more.

It doesn't have to be proven to them. It only has to be proven to the judge, and only according to the rules of evidence which the judge knows very, very well. That makes it really easy for any prosecutor to prove jurisdiction to the judge so quickly the defendant often doesn't even realize that's what is happening, because they don't understand the rules of procedure well enough to recognize what those words they were just saying back and forth for five seconds meant. Meanwhile, however, those five seconds disposed 100% of their entire jurisdiction argument, and did so entirely lawfully.

The court does not have to prove jurisdiction, the challenger has to prove the court lacks it. You just can't say "I challenge jurisdiction" and then expect to have your case dismissed.

[@davidburris120]

7:46 the woman from the prosecutor’s office speaking unmuted then swearing when she realized her mistake then swearing again when the judge said they were being kicked off is hilarious. What an idiot!

[@posysdogovych2065]

If the court doesn't have jurisdiction, why did he bother showing up? And if it's because he was concerned that there would be consequences for not doing so, that alone is an acknowledgment that the court has jurisdiction.

[@JAVStarClips]

The argument that they give is that they're doing it under threat, duress, or corrosion. They have no choice otherwise they will send men with guns and put them in a cage. Silly...yes. Idiotic..yes.😂

[@katherineberger6329]

Sovereign Cidiots use the fiction that a court summons is an invitation to discuss a matter of business. They are told by people who are preying on their desperation for something - ANYTHING - that they can use to get out of trouble that the US government and all state governments are mere corporations without formal jurisdiction over the matters they're being charged with.

I truly hate it when judges take these sovvies like they are serious with their asinine questions. One time through the facts, then contempt of court and off to jail. Come back in three days and see if the case can move forward. More stupid questions? Repeat contempt and sanction.

There was that guy from Hawaii who knew they didn't have jurisdiction. He would state ever. But why? I would assume it could only be when these courts use federal reserve notes (negotiable instruments) they act like any other commercial entity. The Clearfield Doctrine.

[@glenmoss02]

Ah, contempt of court. It always proves jurisdiction.

[@voiceofreason9238]

I thought the judge's explanation of subject matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction was the best I've ever heard.

[@Vykk_Draygo]

It doesn't prove jurisdiction of the matter at hand. I understand what you mean, but you can be held in contempt even if the court wouldn't otherwise have jurisdiction of the matter you are in court over.

[@vchism712]

Yes it did. The judge even explains why he has jurisdiction for the matter at hand.@@Vykk_Draygo

[@jamescollier3]

[@streetleveltech]

​@@Vykk_Draygo It's not the court that has the burden of proof. The court's jurisdiction is written in the state constitution and the relevant statutes. The party challenging jurisdiction has to prove, with an argument based in law, that the court has no jurisdiction in the matter. The most common procedure is to file a motion challenging jurisdiction and to argue that motion before the judge at a motion hearing. All qualified attorneys know this from training and experience. Qualified attorneys also know that if they were to conduct themselves in court the way this defendant did, they would risk being sanctioned by the state bar association. The defendant clearly knows none of this. He was only following a boilerplate sovcit script with no understanding of law or procedure. Further proof, if more were needed, that it's not a good idea to act as your own attorney in court.

[@dathyr1]

Wow!!!! This guy needs a lawyer with all his BS to the Judge. The judge could see he was not making any progress in the initial proceedings with this guy. Nice to see how these kind of proceedings are handled. Thanks for the video.

The law is filled with what appears to be endless minutiae and arcane nonsense, but there’s a beauty to it also. Watching a judge deal with a mentally ill person brings that beauty out. At that moment the sovereign citizen is at the total mercy of what he believes is an oppressive system. Yet at every step of the way the oppressor not only protects his rights but even humors his idiocy. In the end he was sent to jail for obstructing the judge’s attempt to protecting the accused’s rights!

The prosecutor’s hot mic slip-up (including profanity) may be the only thing that saved the SovCit’s ally from joining him in jail for contempt. The judge may not have wanted to convict both of them and not treating both the same way would have been unfair

They keep wanting to quote the US Constitution and ignore state law. Why doesn’t anyone ever quote back that anything the Federal Constitution doesn’t address is left up to each individual state?

[@jn1ty]

I guess he found out about jurisdiction. The judge let him know who is in charge.

[@Zaddy-Lu]

The 10th to the Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791. It makes clear that any powers that are not specifically given to the federal government, nor withheld from the states, are reserved to those respective states, or to the people at large. That's how the court has statutory jurisdiction

So weird that people who claim not to understand even basic jurisdiction or court rules feel competent to represent themselves. It's almost as if they are intentionally dishonest about everything they say, to disrupt every proceeding and try to win by exhaustion. When it's planned ahead of time, contempt of court should include heavy financial penalties as well as jail time.

[@Tindometari]

This is the court of general jurisdiction. It has jurisdiction over *all* legal matters within its territory *unless* jurisdiction over a given subject matter has been explicitly placed elsewhere (e.g. probate, &c.). So, in order to succesfully claim that this court lacks jurisdiction, one must assert that some other specific court DOES have jurisdiction.

[@jonathanbaron-crangle5093]

@@voiceofreason9238 I was watching a couple of SovCit vids where some of the worst 'offenders' did get 24 hours to think on it and came back looking and acting most contrite. One was a gentleman who got punched 4 or five times by an off duty policeman who happened to be in court when the defendant kicked off. I don't think that's what changed his mind . . . but who really knows. You may well be right. The short man mightn't see the light. They're an unpredictable bunch and the more time they spend on the other side of bars, the better - as far as I'm concerned. IMO - they're getting worse, not better. Wandering around in the courtroom checking on the equipment, that's a concern too. I'll go overs for the fun of it - and hope OSG gets an update to us tomorrow. Gotta love OSG.
