[@TexasSandSailor]

Let me start by saying I have license, registration and not a sov citizen. What are they protecting from unregistered driver? registration makes you safer?

[@champagne213]

@@TexasSandSailor Yes. Vehicles must be safe to drive (generally through inspection) before they can be registered and in general, registration also allows tracking of the driver in the case of them breaking the law.

[@mellvee]

@@TexasSandSailor the sovereign idiots' argument that there has to be a singular, human victim is fallacious. Period. That's simply not the law. By breaking laws and acting in contravention to state or federal statutes, you are violating the inherent terms you implicitly and absolutely agreed to by operating a vehicle on the road, no engagement in vehicular "commerce" necessary. Thus, the presumed victims are the people of the state. I don't understand why the sovereign morons can't get it. They've been told this time after time after time, but much like their jurisdictional and other arguments, they're entirely invalid. As long as you're intelligent enough to comprehend simple wording, you understand when someone tells you something in plain English. If the sovereign jerkoffs were like you, and could ask a question with reason and maturity, we wouldn't have these case examples of the sovereign's collectively diminutive IQ's, and Mike would have to make videos on other legal topics. But this is more fun, so I'm glad you're not a sovereign dipshit, while simultaneously being glad that they're still out there somewhere, misunderstanding legal concepts, misreading state and federal laws, lying, whining, begging and bragging about how smart they all are. 😊

[@mellvee]

@@champagne213 Exactly! Additionally, courts have continuously and routinely ruled that enforcing traffic laws, regulations and statutes that are part as parcel of your acceptance of the privilege of operating a vehicle on public roadways, is in no way violative of your 4th amendment rights. Too bad sovereign citizens don't believe in the Constitution they so immediately hide behind. The Articles of Confederation didn't afford people the protections the Constitution does. Convenient how they switch sides so quickly.

[@melg1621]

I got a no registration ticket in N. CA. When I went to court there were no lawyers, just the judge, his clerk, a bailiff and cops as witnesses. It was quite entertaining, no nonsense, no nothing. When he called my case, I went to a podium and the judge said, "What do you want to tell me?" I told him my car was parked and I had temp tags in the front window, but the officer must not have seen them." He asked if I had the documents, I said yes, he said to show them to the clerk, and we were done. Before me he must have done about a dozen cases in about an hour. One girl with an open container violation tried to say it wasn't hers and she didn't know it was there. He suspended her for 6 mos. and told her to give her license to the clerk. She said she didn't have it with her. He said, "Go get it.", she told him she lost it. He said, "Fine, the 6 mos will start when you turn in your license, Next!" I don't know his name, but I would love to see a sov cit before him.

[@destroyerinazuma96]

My teacher had a friend who was stopped for speeding. He went to court with detailed info on the gear the cop used and meteorological data on that place on that day on that time. Turned out it was raining and the cops gear was so unreliable in rainy weather the results couldn't be admissible. Imagine the cop claims you were doing 60 on a 55 when the gear had a +/- 15 mph error margin. So my teacher's friend won his case and didn't have to pay a fine or lose points.

Hey Mike. I’m a police officer and this seems to be a local Municipal Traffic court. This is how we all of our civil traffic violations are heard where I am from as well. There we are called present our case then the defendant can defend themselves. / cross. Etc. They can hire an attorney to assist them but most just go at it themselves as it’s only civil. (In my experience)

[@davidwilliams5407]

In civil traffic hearings, it's common for there to be no prosecutor, at least in my jurisdiction. The cop presents the State's case in narrative form with the judge being able to ask questions and the defendant able to cross-examine. The defendant then presents his case in narrative format. The cop cannot cross, because he's not an attorney, but the judge can ask clarifying questions.

They are infractions which is a special category of crime that have a lower burden thn misdemeanors. The latter require beyond a reasonable doubt, Infractions are just preponderance of the evidence. Whether infractions should ever have been allowed to be created is a VERY esoteric constitutional discussion.

[@Forensource]

More about is it reasonable for an officer to believe that the registered owner is the actual driver.

[@jeffk7083]

This case was decided in April of 2020

[@UpnorthHere]

No, it reversed the finding of the Kansas Supreme Court that it was unreasonable to stop a vehicle merely because the registered owner's license was suspended. "We hold that when the officer lacks information negating an inference that the owner is the driver of the vehicle, the stop is reasonable", i.e., the "reasonable suspicion" is sufficient to justify an investigatory stop, unless he clearly knows it's not the suspect who is driving, but even without observing any other violations. 140 S.Ct. 1183, 589 U. S. ____ (2020)

Coincidentally, the NH law on frivolous claims or defenses (in contract or tort) allows an order of summary judgement and a $1,000 fine (plus costs and fees). Three strikes by pro se litigants (for harassment) exhausts their right to file without counsel or posting bond.

Amazing he was "going down that road". You know just because you think some government is fine NOT ALL of it is to be trusted & the same especially goes for those medical=pharmaceutical industry.

Mike, the shire society is a heavy libertarian activist group that is an offshoot of the free state project. They had a dream 20 years ago to create a libertarian utopia in New Hampshire and encouraged thousands of activists to move to Keene New Hampshire to be the birthplace of a national movement to transition to a voluntary free society with very few laws. They recently pushed hard for New Hampshire to secede from the union and actually got it to the state house floor for a vote which failed. The leader of the freekeene group in Keene is Ian Freeman and he was the ringleader of a group of bitcoin investor/sellers who were arrested and charged with several felony bitcoin violations. Their trial is coming up in October. They are known as the Crypto-6. Ian is the principal drafter of the Shire Society Declaration which the free staters sign to show their support for and membership in the freekeene and general libertarian activist movement.

Hello from New Hampshire. We have Circuit Courts, and Superior Courts. Circuit Courts have jurisdiction over violation and misdemeanor level offenses, but not felonies. Superior Courts have jurisdiction over all levels of offenses, but exclusive jurisdiction over felonies. Police officers are permitted to serve as prosecutors in violation and misdemeanor level offenses in the Circuit Courts, but prosecutors in the Superior Courts have to be attorneys, regardless of the level of offense. This trial was in one of the Circuit Courts. Many of our police departments will hire attorney prosecutors to prosecute their misdemeanors, sometimes clusters of smaller police departments will contract with an attorney, but they are not required to. The State Police do have attorney prosecutors, but they generally don't use them to prosecute violation-level offenses such as traffic stuff like this. This means even the arresting trooper himself can serve as the prosecutor, and testify in the narrative. As a matter of trivia, in NH private citizens are allowed to file complaints alleging class B misdemeanors (where no jail time is possible) and prosecute them, but the Attorney General has the authority to drop the charge. Which they do, pretty much any time a citizen tries to start a private prosecution.

The question he raised about running the license plate is pointless, a license plate remains the property of the issuing state and does not belong to him. Just like a passport or a drivers license.

[@jolene6911]

A license plate isn’t your property, it’s property of the state. So yes, they can run your plate anytime they want. Many departments now have systems that automagically read plates as an officer goes down the road. The system will tell the officer if the owner has warrants, vehicle is stolen, expired, no insurance, etc.

[@msaret4384]

Always fun to see these guys dig themselves into a deeper hole by knowing so much that just isn't so! I wish I could pay things to charity like that. I would donate to the C.A.F.O.M.I.S. fund. That's the Care And Feeding Of Mitchell Ian Saret fund...that's me, BTW. 😁

[@rifelaw]

This looks like a traffic court format where the trooper is the state's representative, and there is no DA present. The judge, unlike a jury, gets to ask questions to fill in the evidence he's looking for. You won't see anything like that in a case involving anything beyond a fine.

[@UpnorthHere]

In MA they use this as a type of "show cause hearing" before the clerk-magistrate refers a "criminal traffic ticket" appeal to a criminal prosecutor, when someone chooses not to plead guilty and pay the fine.

[@jbborg]

@Stephen Mintz One, a driver’s license is just proof that I have been properly trained and qualified to operate a motor vehicle. Insurance is a contract with private businesses. Even without those, we’re still required to follow the federal, state, and local laws that are in effect where we live, and no individual contract is required for that. Try again.

[@SlimKeith11]

I'd say the officer could run the plates. Parking Enforcement drives around running plates to find bootable vehicles due to unpaid parking tickets. And he said the plate looked hinky.

[@Toranaboy634]

The clueless litigator never fails to entertain, and seeing this goober spout "rough" portions of the State Contitution to the cop was fun. I thought the cop was really good. It must have seemed even more bizarre from where he was sitting, yet his demeanour was impeccable. I am surprised at how low the fines are in the courts depicted in LTWM. The time-waster here would have been liable in New South Wales, on tickets for unregistered and uninsured (they are a couple), as a first offender, to fines of hundreds and hundreds of dollars. After pleading not guilty, thus abandoning the discount for pleading guilty, and running even an arguable defence at trial, he would be guaranteed to be liable to substantially higher fines and court costs, perhaps in the order of $1500.

[@UpnorthHere]

This clown could have been cited for at least 3 offenses: not registered (the one he got), plus failure to display a valid registration plate and failure to possess and to deliver in-hand a valid certificate of registration. NH doesn't require proof of insurance, so that would probably be an issue between the defendant and the State of Texas. I hope the trooper learned from this and will ALWAYS "use his discretion" to cite anyone from "out of state" for the max allowed.

[@ShimrraJamaane]

To be slightly pedantic, he isn't a litigant, he is just a defendant. This isn't a civil case, but a criminal one (though it is just traffic court).

[@Toranaboy634]

@@ShimrraJamaane Having thought about it (a bit) I would say that there are generally two types of litigation: criminal and civil (which might be thought to include matrimonial/Family etc). Usage may vary around the common law world, of course. The title 'defendant' is different from the description 'litigant'. A respondent or applicant or plaintiff etc would also be a litigant. I enjoy watching courts operating in familiar ways even having diverged from the original Common Law jurisdiction a couple of hundred years ago. (And greetings, btw, from Wollongong) :)

[@ShimrraJamaane]

@@Toranaboy634 Yeah, that's a fair view of it. A litigant is typically used to describe someone in a civil suit, though. Litigation is a broader term, which is where I believe the initial commenter confused the term litigant with.

[@dillydave13]

In states like Florida, police have scanners on their cars that run plates while they drive, and alert them to the owner of the vehicle if their license is suspended or if the plate is expired. The scanner doesn’t look for probable cause lol. It just scans.

[@conspiracy7852]

He who represents himself at Court has a fool for a client.

[@lyonsson6480]

License plate numbers are public information. No probable cause is needed to use the information on them. Since the numbers are public information and the plates themselves are required to be in plain public view, there is obviously no “search” going on the get the number.

@Lyons & Son *No expectation of privacy in public* 1 Amendment auditors use this, to justify filming people even on the side-walk. One channel with this content is "Unclean Hands" if you want to know more....

[@UpnorthHere]

Motor vehicle registration and driver license records in NH are not "public records" and are "confidential" for other than legitimate purposes listed by the statute, such as "law enforcement". RSA 260:40. Yes, "looking at the number" is not a "search". No, running the plate by broadcasting the number over the radio and receiving the info is not a violation of the "Driver Privacy Act" in NH.

Way back in the late 1980's I went to a traffic court to be a witness for a friend. It was scheduled for 10:00 PM at night in a little small town in the south. The judge was the one who asked the questions there also. My friend was charged with speeding. It was over $200 dollars for the ticket. There were others there that were charged for littering. Their tickets were $1000 each. My friend was found guilty and had to pay the $200 and some odd dollars. I told him as we walked out he was lucky he didn't tear up the ticket and throw it on the ground or he would have been paying over $1200 dollars.
