From Lil Giant That statement is true even of simple traffic cases. If you cannot afford to pay a traffic fine of up to $200 OR to claim not guilty and pay the added court costs above the flat $200, then you cannot afford a ticket. Traffic court means that if you plead “not guilty” they AUTOMATICALLY find you guilty. They will not allow you to speak in your own defense (A three second answer, preferably consisting of a simple yes or no is required.) NO extenuating circumstances are allowed unless you bring an attorney (and then HE, not you, gets to speak). If you cannot afford a (required) guilty fine for a ticket, or an attorney to misrepresent you, then you cannot drive a car in Illinois. Go to any traffic court in Illinois. There is a traffic jam for those pleading guilty and 1) a few citizens obviously inexperienced with the “shut up” style of the court system, recognizable by their effort to get in more than the standard three seconds allowed 2) PLUS SEVERAL WEALTHIER GUYS WITH THEIR LAWYERS who either get off, or get consequences so minimal it is obvious they paid their lawyer quite a bit of money. For instance, a guy arrested in his garage for DUI because he was having an argument with his wife and finally, in disgust, went out to his car in his own, private, closed door garage to get out of her presence. He had had two hard drinks during the argument and he was a small man. He went to sleep and woke up to the police standing over him. His wife had called the police and claimed he was drunk and sleeping in the garage. The breathalyzer test showed EXACTLY the legal limit for drinking and driving. He was NOT driving and was on his own property, but that made NO difference. He was charged with DUI and spent the next three years unable to work as a truck driver because of the DUI. He worked low-paying jobs with no transportation because he could not afford to pay the few thousand dollars it takes to have a defective breathalyzer installed and monitored, in order to start the car. The fines were so much he had NO food budget and could not get a second job due to the lack of transportation. He was able to get transportation during the third year without being required to get a breathalyzer, and find another part-time job to help him pay the mounting unpaid fines. He was pretty doggone skinny by then. The only silver lining in this whole dark story is he lost the house the very first year and his wife could not keep it, she divorced him and there was no alimony due to his low income, and she found some other sucker to marry her. (She was quite beautiful, but very nasty.) He is now doing better, but I wonder where a guy with only high school is going to get another career without more education. BECAUSE HE HAD TWO DRINKS, WAS MARRIED TO A WITCH, AND WAS SLEEPING IN HIS CAR IN THE GARAGE, EVEN THOUGH HE HAD NOT LEFT THE HOUSE THE ENTIRE DAY. HE WAS NOT DRIVING. The whole DUI is just a money-making scheme. They do not care if you are innocent or not-just as long as they get paid. Betcha’ the judges get a kickback for all those defective breathalyzers. That contrasts nicely with the wealthy guys accused of DUI who usually end up paying a fine and court costs, but due to a nice expensive lawyer they end up with a reduced charge with no DUI record and no jail time and total ability to drive, and/or getting off with probation or a short confinement at home, during which they probably hire someone to drive them around or get their wife to help. Must be nice to be rich. No inconvenience and no consequences. Traffic court is a breeze.

His rights are such as existed by the law of the land long antecedent to the organization of the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in accordance with the Constitution.

[@AMERICANPATRIOT1945]

Anyone who really believes the nonsense that federally navigable waterways and the right to use them only applies to interstate and international navigation is not a real American. Absolutely any body of water connected with the oceans or any other federally navigable waterway is itself a federally navigable waterway. Any water and its floor below the high tide mark belongs to the people and may not be regulated, taxed, or access limited by any entity, public or private. This means that beaches and the access to those beaches belongs to the people. So does any body of water connected in any manner with the seas or major rivers of the USA. No private landowner may land lock the public from beaches adjoining their property. Private landowners may only designate and separate from the rest of their property a right of way connecting the beach to the nearest public road. Nor may any state or local government restrict anchoring or mooring rights of boat or ship owners other than to maintain federal navigation channels or markers. Only the US Coast Guard has the right to regulate or restrict the use of the seas and waterways connected with the seas. It is time for We The People to force our rights down the throats of those traitors who disagree with this, strip them of their US citizenship, and exile them to Communist China, North Korea, or some other totalitarian hellhole.

[@elizabethreichelt5173]

You correctly state the majority of the law regulating waterways however, please note, there are exceptions (i.e. the “Sand Hole” in Lloyd Neck, NY where the navigational and underwater rights were given to private individuals under King George before the USA was a nation, and then which were later upheld, see page 1 paragraph 1 of the first Supreme Court).

[@AMERICANPATRIOT1945]

@@elizabethreichelt5173 , Yes, their are private plots of land whose deed goes back to before the founding of the USA as a nation. Our founders saw fit to include a clause which barred the impairment of existing contracts in order to garner votes from those delegates who owned such land when the Constitution was up for ratification, in much the same way that the 3/5 compromise was struck to prevent slave states from leaving the nascent USA. The slave issue was settled in the Civil War. That was good. The ban on impairment of contracts which left mini fifedoms was not settled and is a mixed blessing. So, as you stated, we are left with plots of land such as the "Sand Hole" in Lloyd Neck, NY, with deeds which go back to King George the III. Those lucky enough to own such plots are exempt from being forced to pay local taxes in most cases, and are exempt from a lot of other potential burdens such as eminent domain seizures and other illicit land grabs. Sometimes we must take the bad with the good. Perhaps the rest of the nation should be forced to observe the ban on the obligation to pay real property taxes since they are arbitrary and capricious, tax one's inalienable right to own what one has purchased (the power to tax equals the power to destroy as per the case which overturned all poll taxes and literacy tests as applied to voting rights), and enable all sorts of corruption mostly by local government. Eminent domain seizure as it was expanded to way unconstitutional limits under the evil and corrupt Kelo decision must also be reversed and restricted to the plain black and white English of the Constitution which limits such seizure to government only seizure for direct public use as spelled out in the Constitution. The language contortions used by the thin minority to justify Kelo were laughable at best and a bastardization of the real intent by the founders to prevent exactly what the Kelo majority allowed- the illicit theft of property by government on behalf of private entities who don't feel obligated to play by the same rules of capitalism they defend so vociferously when things go their way. The prior cases used by the thin majority in Kelo involved among others the Hawaiian transfer of land owned by greedy aristocrats to the people and had nothing to do with the sort of unconstitutional seizure enabled by Kelo. Kelo must be reversed. Our founders had every intent to force greedy private land grabbers to pay what the seller wants or don't purchase the property, no matter what. No private entity ever has the right to seize the property of another by any means, including the use of bribed government officials. Public use means public use, not some potential tax benefit or potential job benefit as envisioned by big corporate. "Use" is a very different word than "benefit." If the founders meant benefit, they would have said "benefit" and not "use." It is interesting how things that benefit the rich such as deeds for the "Sand Hole" in Lloyd Harbor, NY are interpreted literally as they are supposed to be, but when the rich want to take from the rest of us, courts go out of their way to twist, contort, and bend the letter and intent of the Constitution to mean whatever the rich want it to mean. That is called bribery and influence peddling at its worst. It must be stopped. That is what the rich and the powerful fear the most, and that is why gun control is pushed by the rich and the powerful at our expense. We know that this is true because the gun grabbers keep going after so called assault weapons which account for about 0.5% of all gun murders while pistols account for 98% of all gun murders. Other types of long guns such as hunting rifles and shotguns only account for another 1.5% of all gun murders. One is more likely to be bludgeoned to death with fists and feet than shot with an assault weapon. So, the real reason for so called assault weapons bans is due to the threat posed by those who have these weapons to the rich and the bodyguards who protect them from angry citizens. Ultimately, the rich and their bodyguards want to be the only armed civilians in the nation. Add illicit land grabs enabled by the evil and corrupt Kelo decision to the rampant destruction of and theft from the middle class by the rich and one can easily see why the rich fear the rest of us. Keep in mind that the rich and powerful and those who guard them will always be able to obtain permits for exactly the kind of so called assault weapons which they don't want the rest of us to have for "our safety." Gun control is not about our safety. Gun control is about the safety of those wealthy and powerful people who abuse their wealth and power to steal from and abuse the rest of us. Just as the US Constitution recognizes the validity of existing contracts and the courts uphold the letter and spirit of the Constitution, we must force our government to uphold the letter and spirit of our Constitution on all other matters. And yes, the 4th amendment really does ban private search and seizure every bit as much as government search and seizure, on all private property, not just the curtilage. That is because the amendment makes no distinction between government and private, not location on one's property. All language manipulations to the contrary are again, void and are just used by the courts to roll back our rights in a manner that must have the founders rolling over and over in their graves.
