Sovereign citizen gets roasted by quick-thinking cop

A sovereign citizen who was pulled over for driving without a seatbelt received a taste of his own medicine after he was outwitted by two savvy police officers.

@Ordinary Member What definition ? An Act of Parliament *is* law. That's how laws are passed.

[@Loucestsoire]

@Ordinary Member administrative laws are those that relate to decisions of government/gov bodies. These types of laws are mainly heard and determined through tribunals. The Summary offences act (the one in question) is an act of (very low level) criminal law- matters that can be dealt with by the magi court. Anything under this act is a law.

Great work Senior Constable. Talking to the child like a child deserves to be talked to. For the child, "An act is not a law" - An act is literally passed through parliament, which is the definition of a law in Australia. The laws passed by the 'Legislative Assembly' are known as acts, which as you can guess, is an assembly of Parliament - which circles back around to it being a law.

@@IhaveaDoghouse Never heard of anyone asking how to spell "ser" when spoken, usually because it's known in context that "sir" and "ser" are the same thing ("ser" is just assumed to be used if the gender isn't obviously male). Not that this is commonly used in modernity - most usage of "ser" I've seen is in medieval settings and fantasy novels - but I have seen it used in a modern context. Not sure what you mean by alphabet mafia by the way. From what I can tell, "ser" was developed because a non-gendered honorific to convey knighthood was needed.

[@lukewise1227]

Yup, The Road/Traffic Acts, based on the Australian Road Rules, require that you carry a Driver's Licence at all times when driving a Motor Vehicle. To produce it on demand to a Police Officer and state your full name and date of birth when requested. If a driver refuses, he can actually be arrested for the purpose of establishing his identity. If unable to do so, he can be charged (Court Attendance Notice) with the offence, held in custody and put before a Magistrate. Which might not be until the next day. This guy had no idea how close he was to crossing the line and the Police Officer was way too patient. (Retired Police Officer).

slobbering citizens

[@AlexandraWeller1]

An Act is a company policy which is not the same as law. Acts are for those who act as legal persons/legal name/a fiction. Men don't act, acting and Acts are for non-living entities., men or women who pretend they are something they are not, which is a legal fiction/dead entity. This is why the corporate policy enforcer refuses to agree that the man is a man. He uses some lame excuse not to answer the question or agree. He either has mental problems not being able to identify a man, or he has been trained to not answer the question. Now you know why the man asked the man acting as a policy enforcer (a fictional character/role) if he is a man. It's not a trick question, but the policy enforcer needs the man to ACT as a legal name so he can force the corporate Acts on him asap fictitious entity. The is why the policy enforces must get your LEGAL NAME, so they can enslaved with their Acts. BTW, if an Act was law, it would be called a law. Show us where Acts are called law? It is only a presumption you make, or that has been implied by others that Acts are law. There are many presumption in the corporate legal system and in this realm we exist in. So be careful what you believe, as those beliefs could entrap you and limit how you live your life.
