[00:00.000 --> 00:04.500] This news brief brought to you by the International News Net. [00:04.500 --> 00:09.000] Dilma Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla nicknamed Joan of Arc, [00:09.000 --> 00:13.500] by those who tortured and imprisoned her during Brazil's long military dictatorship, [00:13.500 --> 00:17.000] was elected Sunday as the country's first woman president. [00:17.000 --> 00:22.500] Rousseff was the chosen successor of the popular Luis Ignacio Luz de Silva, [00:22.500 --> 00:29.000] whose social policies are credited with lifting 20 million Brazilians out of poverty. [00:29.000 --> 00:34.500] An Israeli news website reported Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [00:34.500 --> 00:38.500] has suggested to the U.S. they free Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard [00:38.500 --> 00:43.000] in exchange for extending a settlement freeze in the West Bank for 60 days. [00:43.000 --> 00:50.000] Pollard is serving a life term in U.S. jail for spying for Israel against its closest ally. [00:50.000 --> 00:53.500] Arizona Governor Jam Brewer is heading to San Francisco [00:53.500 --> 00:58.500] to appeal against a court's rejection of the state's strict new immigration law. [00:58.500 --> 01:04.500] A judge ruled in July the law improperly usurped Washington's authority on immigration policy. [01:04.500 --> 01:08.500] Among other provisions, it required police to check the status of suspects [01:08.500 --> 01:12.500] thought to be in the country illegally. [01:12.500 --> 01:18.500] Three Taliban leaders secretly met with Afghanistan President Harmet Karzai two weeks ago [01:18.500 --> 01:24.500] in an effort to weaken a powerful al-Qaeda network that straddles the border region with Pakistan. [01:24.500 --> 01:31.500] The meeting included a wanted former Taliban governor and an imprisoned terrorist who were flown to the capital. [01:31.500 --> 01:36.500] An official said the talks are part of an effort to weaken the Haqqani network, [01:36.500 --> 01:40.500] which is thought to be responsible for most attacks against U.S. troops. [01:40.500 --> 01:46.500] The network is linked to al-Qaeda and is believed to be sheltering its second-in-command Ayman al-Zawiri, [01:46.500 --> 01:52.000] weakening the network with bolster Karzai's effort to broker peace with the Taliban. [01:52.000 --> 02:00.500] The Haqqani network straddles Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area and three eastern Afghan provinces. [02:00.500 --> 02:03.500] Washington Post political correspondent, David Broder, [02:03.500 --> 02:08.500] says the solution to Barack Obama's political and economic woes is to go to war with Iran. [02:08.500 --> 02:12.500] Broder argued Obama could benefit from a confrontation with Iran [02:12.500 --> 02:17.500] because it would strike up a war machine that would pull the U.S. out of economic stagnation. [02:17.500 --> 02:24.500] Broder noted with strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran's ambition to become a nuclear power, [02:24.500 --> 02:30.500] Obama could spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the Mullahs. [02:30.500 --> 02:37.500] Broder qualified, quote, I'm not suggesting, of course, that the president incite a war to get re-elected, [02:37.500 --> 02:42.500] but the nation will rally around Obama because Iran is the greatest threat to the world. [02:42.500 --> 02:47.500] Foreign policy magazine writer Mark Lynch argued Broder's column was, quote, [02:47.500 --> 02:52.500] an interesting study in how really dumb ideas bounce around Washington, D.C.

[04:50.500 --> 04:53.000] Alright, folks. Good evening. This is Rule of Law Radio. [04:53.000 --> 04:54.500] Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens. [04:54.500 --> 04:57.500] I have kind of a treat for you folks tonight. [04:57.500 --> 05:02.000] The first hour of the show is going to be a playback of a recording made today [05:02.000 --> 05:04.500] at the Austin Mayor's Office. [05:04.500 --> 05:10.500] I went down and helped a young lady file a motion in her traffic ticket case [05:10.500 --> 05:14.500] for a completely bogus ticket written after a traffic accident. [05:14.500 --> 05:21.500] She was not even at fault in the accident and the officer still cited her for the accident. [05:21.500 --> 05:27.500] But we went down today and we gave a copy of the motion that we filed to the Mayor's Office. [05:27.500 --> 05:30.500] And we sat down and met with his liaison. [05:30.500 --> 05:33.500] Unfortunately, the Mayor was on his way out as we were on our way in. [05:33.500 --> 05:37.500] But we did meet with his liaison and personal assistant. [05:37.500 --> 05:41.500] And she took the information and we had quite a discussion. [05:41.500 --> 05:45.500] So what I'd like to play for you now is the recording of that discussion. [05:45.500 --> 05:47.500] And it will take up the entire first hour. [05:47.500 --> 05:50.500] The actual clip's just right at 45 minutes long. [05:50.500 --> 05:54.500] But with the breaks and everything, it should take us right up to the top of the hour. [05:54.500 --> 05:59.500] After the top of the hour, we will be taking phone calls, questions, comments on what the recording is [05:59.500 --> 06:02.500] or your own issues if you have any. [06:02.500 --> 06:06.500] So without further ado, Ms. Deborah, will you key that up and let's let it play? [06:06.500 --> 06:07.500] Yes, absolutely. [06:07.500 --> 06:09.500] And folks, I listened to the first couple of minutes of it. [06:09.500 --> 06:17.500] And the individual who had the recorder in his pocket also had it in the same pocket as the cell phone. [06:17.500 --> 06:19.500] And they were banging into each other. [06:19.500 --> 06:21.500] And it's pretty bad in the first couple of minutes. [06:21.500 --> 06:23.500] But Eddie said that it settled down. [06:23.500 --> 06:27.500] So just forgive the pocket noise that's intermittent, folks. [06:27.500 --> 06:30.500] And this should be a little lesson for all of us. [06:30.500 --> 06:35.500] When you take your recorders around, don't have anything else in the same pocket. [06:35.500 --> 06:39.500] Don't have loose items like change or your phone or pens or pencils or whatever [06:39.500 --> 06:42.500] because all of that is just going to make rattling noise. [06:42.500 --> 06:47.500] So all right, here we go. [06:47.500 --> 06:48.500] Hello there. [06:48.500 --> 06:49.500] Hi. [06:49.500 --> 06:50.500] Thank you. [06:50.500 --> 06:51.500] What's your name? [06:51.500 --> 06:52.500] Janet. [06:52.500 --> 06:53.500] Janet. [06:53.500 --> 06:54.500] Janet. [06:54.500 --> 06:55.500] Hi. [06:55.500 --> 06:56.500] Pretty good. [06:56.500 --> 06:58.500] Okay, I'm going to give you about 10 minutes. [06:58.500 --> 06:59.500] That's perfect. [06:59.500 --> 07:02.500] No, no, I've got to get back before we get a ticket. [07:02.500 --> 07:04.500] That's for money in the meter. [07:04.500 --> 07:06.500] We don't want you to get a ticket. [07:06.500 --> 07:14.500] Thank you so much, Janet. [07:14.500 --> 07:15.500] Oh, man. [07:15.500 --> 07:18.500] Woo, we got this whole room to ourselves. [07:18.500 --> 07:19.500] That's how important it is. [07:19.500 --> 07:20.500] Sit up here. [07:20.500 --> 07:26.500] The mayor hates them outside, so I thought we could come in and have a drink with that for a minute. [07:26.500 --> 07:29.500] You know, we actually went by him in the elevator as we were coming up. [07:29.500 --> 07:31.500] Oh, did you? [07:31.500 --> 07:33.500] I did not know it was the mayor, but she recognized him. [07:33.500 --> 07:34.500] She recognized him? [07:34.500 --> 07:35.500] Right. [07:35.500 --> 07:36.500] Okay. [07:36.500 --> 07:39.500] Okay, now we left the lady out front a copy of this. [07:39.500 --> 07:44.500] But basically what this is about is this is a motion that we filed in her case [07:44.500 --> 07:50.500] and it is what we expect to happen. [07:50.500 --> 07:55.500] This outlines where the court and the police officers are violating the Code of Criminal Procedures [07:55.500 --> 08:00.500] and the Texas Transportation Code in the way they conduct business at the municipal court. [08:00.500 --> 08:05.500] They are completely denying a defendant's right to due process. [08:05.500 --> 08:09.500] Part of that problem is it's written directly into the statute that way. [08:09.500 --> 08:14.500] The other part of it is is where the statute is clear on this is what they're supposed to do, [08:14.500 --> 08:16.500] they are not doing it. [08:16.500 --> 08:19.500] So basically what they're doing is they are turning the municipal court, [08:19.500 --> 08:24.500] as far as misdemeanor fines on the offenses are concerned, into a money mill. [08:24.500 --> 08:30.500] And they are doing it and sacrificing due process to the accused at every turn. [08:30.500 --> 08:35.500] The judges, 99% of the time, will not read the motion. [08:35.500 --> 08:37.500] They'll just deny them out of hand. [08:37.500 --> 08:39.500] Okay? [08:39.500 --> 08:44.500] Now, this motion is very, very specific on portions of law that is violated [08:44.500 --> 08:48.500] the moment the police officer initiates the traffic stop. [08:48.500 --> 08:50.500] Okay? [08:50.500 --> 08:54.500] What this does is it documents everything that officer was supposed to do [08:54.500 --> 08:57.500] to be in compliance with law and doesn't do. [08:57.500 --> 09:00.500] For instance, when the officer issues a citation that says, [09:00.500 --> 09:03.500] this is your promise to appear, that's illegal. [09:03.500 --> 09:06.500] It is in direct violation of Texas law. [09:06.500 --> 09:11.500] The legislature has attempted to give him authority to issue a summons, [09:11.500 --> 09:13.500] which he cannot do. [09:13.500 --> 09:18.500] That is judicial branch only function, and he is an executive officer. [09:18.500 --> 09:20.500] He cannot issue a summons. [09:20.500 --> 09:22.500] Okay? [09:22.500 --> 09:25.500] Then when you go to court and you file the motion, [09:25.500 --> 09:27.500] they refuse to let you see a magistrate. [09:27.500 --> 09:30.500] They even tell you, you are not here to see a magistrate, [09:30.500 --> 09:32.500] you're here to enter a plea. [09:32.500 --> 09:34.500] That is also illegal. [09:34.500 --> 09:36.500] The code is very clear. [09:36.500 --> 09:41.500] A plea can only be entered after a jury has been impaneled in the case. [09:41.500 --> 09:45.500] You're not even up to that stage yet, and they want you to enter a plea. [09:45.500 --> 09:48.500] The other problem that makes it illegal is, [09:48.500 --> 09:51.500] there is no signed and verified complaint on file with the court. [09:51.500 --> 09:54.500] There is no charging instrument accompanying that signed [09:54.500 --> 09:56.500] and verified complaint at the court. [09:56.500 --> 09:58.500] In other words, there must be an indictment or information [09:58.500 --> 10:01.500] according to law and the Texas Constitution. [10:01.500 --> 10:03.500] Neither of those exists. [10:03.500 --> 10:07.500] The court lacks any and all jurisdiction to accept a plea [10:07.500 --> 10:10.500] or to enter a plea on behalf of the defendant. [10:10.500 --> 10:13.500] Just flat does not exist. [10:13.500 --> 10:19.500] Yet, the moment you file this and will not plead because there is no complaint, [10:19.500 --> 10:25.500] the court then turns around illegally again and issues a failure to appear warrant. [10:25.500 --> 10:28.500] When you have appeared and you have complied with law, [10:28.500 --> 10:31.500] and you have simply pointed out that the court itself [10:31.500 --> 10:34.500] is the one that's not in compliance. [10:34.500 --> 10:38.500] So the judge, illegally, issues a warrant for your arrest. [10:38.500 --> 10:42.500] And the next thing you know, you get stopped again for any old reason whatsoever, [10:42.500 --> 10:45.500] you get arrested. [10:45.500 --> 10:48.500] All this is documented in that motion. [10:48.500 --> 10:51.500] Have you already submitted it to the law court? [10:51.500 --> 10:54.500] It's already filed with the court. [10:54.500 --> 10:57.500] It's already filed with the city attorney's office. [10:57.500 --> 11:01.500] But this is something the mayor needs to be aware of [11:01.500 --> 11:05.500] because the municipal court and the city prosecutor [11:05.500 --> 11:08.500] are setting the city up for a lawsuit so big [11:08.500 --> 11:11.500] it's going to make the national debt look like a piggy bank. [11:11.500 --> 11:14.500] And it will be easy to lose, I guarantee you it will be, [11:14.500 --> 11:18.500] because the court is documenting their actions to the degree that [11:18.500 --> 11:21.500] there's no way they're going to get out from under it in a court. [11:21.500 --> 11:23.500] There is no way. [11:23.500 --> 11:27.500] All you have to do is go back and look at any criminal file on that court, [11:27.500 --> 11:30.500] and you'll find out, found guilty, warrant issued, [11:30.500 --> 11:33.500] and they're not even assigned a verified complaint in the file. [11:33.500 --> 11:36.500] There is no charging instrument in the file. [11:36.500 --> 11:39.500] And yet the court issued a warrant based upon nothing more [11:39.500 --> 11:43.500] than an officer's accusation on a citation. [11:43.500 --> 11:45.500] And it's illegal. It's flat illegal. [11:45.500 --> 11:49.500] Let me ask, have you had an opportunity to speak with someone in the law department [11:49.500 --> 11:53.500] to just share with them exactly what the conversation ended on? [11:53.500 --> 11:55.500] If you can find one that will actually listen, [11:55.500 --> 11:57.500] I will be more than happy to do that. [11:57.500 --> 12:01.500] The problem is, they all insist they know more than you [12:01.500 --> 12:04.500] because this is how they've done it for a decade or more. [12:04.500 --> 12:08.500] The problem is, for a decade or more, they have not been in compliance with law. [12:08.500 --> 12:11.500] And no matter how long they've been doing it, [12:11.500 --> 12:14.500] that does not validate an illegal act. [12:14.500 --> 12:16.500] And that's what they're doing. [12:16.500 --> 12:20.500] And that makes it very clear because it goes through it code section by code section [12:20.500 --> 12:24.500] and constitutional provision by constitutional provision. [12:24.500 --> 12:29.500] So you really, today you want to be sure that the mayor is aware of what has been submitted [12:29.500 --> 12:31.500] in this passage to the law department? [12:31.500 --> 12:32.500] That's exactly what I want. [12:32.500 --> 12:36.500] For the mayor to be aware that his municipal court judge [12:36.500 --> 12:41.500] is turning that money mill into a liability for the city. [12:41.500 --> 12:45.500] And it will be a lawsuit based on constitutional tort, [12:45.500 --> 12:49.500] and it will hold water because I've got a stack of case laws this high [12:49.500 --> 12:52.500] that will make it hold water. [12:52.500 --> 12:55.500] And I'm not trying to make it sound like a threat or anything. [12:55.500 --> 12:58.500] I'm trying to make him understand the gravity of the situation. [12:58.500 --> 13:00.500] It is a severe problem. [13:00.500 --> 13:05.500] The people of Texas, not just Austin, but of Texas in general, [13:05.500 --> 13:08.500] did not hire our public servants and elect them to office [13:08.500 --> 13:14.500] to take money out of our pockets to copper plate their buildings with [13:14.500 --> 13:17.500] or to pay exorbitant salaries too. [13:17.500 --> 13:19.500] We didn't do it for that reason. [13:19.500 --> 13:24.500] The entire reason we made government as the people was to protect our rights. [13:24.500 --> 13:27.500] And our right to due process is one of those. [13:27.500 --> 13:30.500] And the municipal court is in violation? [13:30.500 --> 13:32.500] Oh, very big time in violation. [13:32.500 --> 13:33.500] Okay. [13:33.500 --> 13:34.500] Okay. [13:34.500 --> 13:37.500] Well, have you already sent us a copy or is it for the mayor? [13:37.500 --> 13:41.500] The lady at the front has one that's already stamped and ready for the mayor, [13:41.500 --> 13:44.500] and we have one copy, but if you wouldn't mind stamping the other copy [13:44.500 --> 13:47.500] that was received by your office, we'd greatly appreciate it. [13:47.500 --> 13:48.500] Okay. [13:48.500 --> 13:49.500] So which one will? [13:49.500 --> 13:51.500] I'll stamp the one that we're actually going to receive. [13:51.500 --> 13:52.500] You can get rid of one of them. [13:52.500 --> 13:54.500] As long as you have at least one in your record, you're fine. [13:54.500 --> 13:55.500] Okay, just one? [13:55.500 --> 13:56.500] Yeah. [13:56.500 --> 13:57.500] Okay. [13:57.500 --> 13:58.500] So she did come back in this system. [13:58.500 --> 13:59.500] Yes. [13:59.500 --> 14:00.500] You want their stamp on your copy. [14:00.500 --> 14:01.500] Yes. [14:01.500 --> 14:02.500] Okay. [14:02.500 --> 14:03.500] Hold on just a second. [14:03.500 --> 14:04.500] I hope that's a good stamp. [14:04.500 --> 14:07.500] Does she need to go in about her situation? [14:07.500 --> 14:09.500] What happened with the office? [14:09.500 --> 14:11.500] Oh, well, I don't know. [14:11.500 --> 14:12.500] We can ask her when she comes back. [14:12.500 --> 14:13.500] When you come back. [14:13.500 --> 14:17.500] I'm just wondering if that's something that we should... [14:17.500 --> 14:18.500] It might be. [14:18.500 --> 14:19.500] Absolutely. [14:19.500 --> 14:20.500] Yes. [14:20.500 --> 14:22.500] She's the one I talked to last time. [14:22.500 --> 14:24.500] Why are the people at the front, the ones that give a hard time, [14:24.500 --> 14:26.500] that have no power, they're going to... [14:26.500 --> 14:29.500] Because their job is to run interference to keep you out of big trouble. [14:29.500 --> 14:30.500] Okay. [14:30.500 --> 14:31.500] They're gatekeepers. [14:31.500 --> 14:32.500] Okay. [14:32.500 --> 14:33.500] That's why I wanted this one. [14:33.500 --> 14:36.500] Their job is to try to make you want to be someone else. [14:36.500 --> 14:37.500] Okay. [14:37.500 --> 14:42.500] All right. [14:42.500 --> 14:46.500] Now, the only other thing that leaves is in her specific incident [14:46.500 --> 14:51.500] in which this is filed, the municipal police officer has intentionally [14:51.500 --> 14:54.500] and knowingly falsified the police report in this case. [14:54.500 --> 14:58.500] He conducted an extremely shoddy investigation of the traffic accident [14:58.500 --> 15:03.500] she was involved in, completely misapplied the situation [15:03.500 --> 15:07.500] and the facts in his investigation. [15:07.500 --> 15:13.500] When a 16-year-old young man with an automobile full of five young girls, [15:13.500 --> 15:15.500] to and around town, what time of night? [15:15.500 --> 15:16.500] About 8 o'clock. [15:16.500 --> 15:20.500] About 8 o'clock, cut from his lane directly in front of her car [15:20.500 --> 15:27.500] at such a point where she went under his vehicle on the side, okay, [15:27.500 --> 15:32.500] and damaged her car to the point of taking the front wheel off of it. [15:32.500 --> 15:37.500] She then tried to flag him down, and he tried to leave the scene. [15:37.500 --> 15:38.500] He finally stopped. [15:38.500 --> 15:42.500] They talked to him for, what, 30, 45 minutes before the police officers [15:42.500 --> 15:43.500] actually arrived. [15:43.500 --> 15:44.500] She called 911. [15:44.500 --> 15:45.500] Yes. [15:45.500 --> 15:49.500] She called 911, just trying to get a copy of that tape now, okay. [15:49.500 --> 15:53.500] But when it was all said and done, the officers issued, [15:53.500 --> 15:55.500] would you show her your citation? [15:55.500 --> 15:56.500] Okay. [15:56.500 --> 16:01.500] Issued a citation to her and accused her of hitting him from behind. [16:01.500 --> 16:04.500] There's no damage to the rear of this kid's vehicle. [16:04.500 --> 16:07.500] It was on the side, if there was any damage to it at all, [16:07.500 --> 16:08.500] because that's where it was. [16:08.500 --> 16:12.500] He cut across her car with his truck, all right. [16:12.500 --> 16:16.500] But the officers came back to her and admitted they couldn't understand [16:16.500 --> 16:17.500] what the kid was saying. [16:17.500 --> 16:18.500] They had a language problem. [16:18.500 --> 16:20.500] They never called an interpreter. [16:20.500 --> 16:23.500] They never called anybody out there to get a proper set of information. [16:23.500 --> 16:26.500] They just simply issued her a ticket and let the kid go. [16:26.500 --> 16:28.500] And they didn't speak to me. [16:28.500 --> 16:29.500] Right. [16:29.500 --> 16:31.500] They never asked her a question. [16:31.500 --> 16:35.500] They never asked her a friend in the car with her. [16:35.500 --> 16:39.500] All right, folks, we'll be right back. [16:39.500 --> 16:43.500] This is Eddie's encounter at the Austin mayor's office today. [16:43.500 --> 16:45.500] We'll be right back.

[20:39.500 --> 20:45.500] We are back. [20:45.500 --> 20:51.500] And by the way, tonight is November 1st, 2010. [20:51.500 --> 20:53.500] And we've got the phones off right now. [20:53.500 --> 20:55.500] We're playing this clip. [20:55.500 --> 20:58.500] And as soon as it's done, we will turn the phones on. [20:58.500 --> 21:03.500] So again, this is Eddie Craig at the city mayor's office today, [21:03.500 --> 21:08.500] November 1st, talking about the corruption in the municipal court system. [21:08.500 --> 21:24.500] All right, here we go. [21:24.500 --> 21:29.500] Okay, I want to pause right here because this is typical. [21:29.500 --> 21:33.500] And, you know, I don't want to point any fingers or make any stereotypes, [21:33.500 --> 21:38.500] but I heard something in the clip about a language problem. [21:38.500 --> 21:47.500] And I'm not sure, it wouldn't surprise me if this kid was not a properly documented immigrant [21:47.500 --> 21:49.500] or citizen of this country. [21:49.500 --> 21:53.500] And what's been happening with the federalization of the police forces [21:53.500 --> 22:00.500] and all the municipalities, they're being trained by the feds to let the illegals go, [22:00.500 --> 22:03.500] give them a ticket, don't give them anything, don't hurt them at all, [22:03.500 --> 22:06.500] doesn't matter, DUI, people dying, doesn't matter. [22:06.500 --> 22:11.500] If they're illegal, let them walk and throw the book at the citizens. [22:11.500 --> 22:16.500] And so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if that's what happened in this woman's situation. [22:16.500 --> 22:19.500] All right, here's the rest of the clip. [22:19.500 --> 22:22.500] And now that's why she's got to go to court. [22:22.500 --> 22:26.500] Okay, turns out the kid admitted he had no driver's license, [22:26.500 --> 22:28.500] and he's not required to have one. [22:28.500 --> 22:30.500] That's not my issue. [22:30.500 --> 22:33.500] But they're going to turn around and write her a ticket for an accident [22:33.500 --> 22:37.500] that's obviously, if anybody's looking, his fault. [22:37.500 --> 22:41.500] Even the body shop, and she's in the process of getting an affidavit from the body shop right now, [22:41.500 --> 22:47.500] that clearly states there is absolute proof and evidence in the way the car is damaged [22:47.500 --> 22:56.500] and the tire marks on her fender from his truck that show there's no way he was hit from behind, [22:56.500 --> 22:58.500] which is what instigated this here. [22:58.500 --> 22:59.500] But this is just an example. [22:59.500 --> 23:02.500] It starts with the police officers. [23:02.500 --> 23:04.500] They just do whatever they like. [23:04.500 --> 23:06.500] They don't read the law, and they'll admit it to you. [23:06.500 --> 23:08.500] I don't have to read the law. [23:08.500 --> 23:10.500] I just have to enforce it. [23:10.500 --> 23:16.500] Well, how do you enforce something that you just admitted you've never even read? [23:16.500 --> 23:18.500] So I have two things here. [23:18.500 --> 23:21.500] I want to be sure that I'm hearing you correctly. [23:21.500 --> 23:28.500] This, you want the mayor to be sure he understands the intent and everything that's in here. [23:28.500 --> 23:33.500] And copy is on file with the city court's office, which goes to law. [23:33.500 --> 23:42.500] The other part is this accident is what kind of initiated all of this effort to pursue. [23:42.500 --> 23:53.500] The incident with you and the teenage driver, young man, whatever, [23:53.500 --> 23:57.500] the reason I'm asking is I had something similar happen to a family member. [23:57.500 --> 24:01.500] And it was a fight, but it was a fight where we had to get an attorney. [24:01.500 --> 24:07.500] And they won, but they had to get a private attorney to prove what you said, [24:07.500 --> 24:12.500] like where you get an affidavit from the record company to show. [24:12.500 --> 24:18.500] I'm helping her what she's, I've had her and her friend fill out affidavits separately [24:18.500 --> 24:22.500] of exactly what occurred that night. [24:22.500 --> 24:26.500] She's getting one from the body shop that the car was taken to. [24:26.500 --> 24:30.500] We're going to be seeking pictures of the other automobile, [24:30.500 --> 24:34.500] and we're going to be seeking information from the parents of the teenage driver [24:34.500 --> 24:40.500] who specifically, according to him, didn't even know he had the automobile out that night. [24:40.500 --> 24:42.500] Yeah, they borrowed it. [24:42.500 --> 24:48.500] So the police report, do you have a police report of this, Sid? [24:48.500 --> 24:50.500] Yes, but now here's the problem. [24:50.500 --> 25:01.500] To show how observant the officer isn't, her ticket says she is a Hispanic male. [25:01.500 --> 25:05.500] That would be a little bit hard to mistake in my book. [25:05.500 --> 25:08.500] This is how much attention to detail we're talking here. [25:08.500 --> 25:10.500] Well, we can't write the kid a ticket. [25:10.500 --> 25:12.500] There's a good possibility because of the language barrier [25:12.500 --> 25:16.500] and the fact that he has no license or anything else, he's an illegal alien. [25:16.500 --> 25:18.500] It's possible. [25:18.500 --> 25:21.500] So here's somebody that we have information on. [25:21.500 --> 25:23.500] Let's just get money out of her. [25:23.500 --> 25:25.500] Write her a ticket. [25:25.500 --> 25:27.500] Make it up, but write one. [25:27.500 --> 25:31.500] And then even on the police report, the facts in the police report [25:31.500 --> 25:36.500] are absolutely against the facts of what happened. [25:36.500 --> 25:40.500] There is no question here that it's a falsified police report. [25:40.500 --> 25:46.500] That liability I spoke of earlier, there are two prongs to that in this case, [25:46.500 --> 25:50.500] one from the police, one from the municipal court. [25:50.500 --> 25:55.500] That's going to be a problem because it's going to be very easy [25:55.500 --> 26:00.500] to show these officers did not do their job with due diligence. [26:00.500 --> 26:03.500] They did it for convenience. [26:03.500 --> 26:05.500] But I hear two issues here. [26:05.500 --> 26:06.500] You are correct on the two. [26:06.500 --> 26:07.500] Okay. [26:07.500 --> 26:11.500] I just want to be sure that I'm letting the mayor understand [26:11.500 --> 26:16.500] that this has been brought to the police office [26:16.500 --> 26:20.500] and kind of like what initiated that prostitute. [26:20.500 --> 26:24.500] The accident issue is what initiated that. [26:24.500 --> 26:26.500] I'm sorry. [26:26.500 --> 26:29.500] On the police report, does it have the teenager's name [26:29.500 --> 26:31.500] or just the truck model? [26:31.500 --> 26:34.500] I have not gotten to go specifically through it yet, [26:34.500 --> 26:36.500] but she's going to make me a copy of it to look at. [26:36.500 --> 26:38.500] But we'll see if it does or not. [26:38.500 --> 26:40.500] It might. [26:40.500 --> 26:42.500] But if it's all right with you, she could call you back [26:42.500 --> 26:45.500] and give you the information as far as the police report number and things, [26:45.500 --> 26:48.500] and you could pull a copy of it yourself and see what it's got. [26:48.500 --> 26:54.500] The only reason I was asking, I was just wondering how much, [26:54.500 --> 26:57.500] like you're alleged, if any percentage was accurate [26:57.500 --> 27:00.500] of the police report. [27:00.500 --> 27:02.500] It's hard to guess how much of what they wrote down [27:02.500 --> 27:07.500] was actually true to the fact other than the actual location. [27:07.500 --> 27:08.500] I don't. [27:08.500 --> 27:10.500] There's so many errors. [27:10.500 --> 27:11.500] I was shocked. [27:11.500 --> 27:14.500] I haven't received a ticket in about 20 years. [27:14.500 --> 27:16.500] And so when I saw it, I was just completely shocked. [27:16.500 --> 27:20.500] I mean, even stating that his vehicle was damaged tremendously [27:20.500 --> 27:22.500] from me sitting directly behind him, [27:22.500 --> 27:24.500] I didn't have a scratch. [27:24.500 --> 27:28.500] Even, you know, admitting that nothing was wrong with his vehicle. [27:28.500 --> 27:30.500] And the diagram, it didn't show that he cut me off. [27:30.500 --> 27:35.500] It's different age, different sex, different race. [27:35.500 --> 27:36.500] A comedy of errors. [27:36.500 --> 27:39.500] It's completely, it's ridiculous. [27:39.500 --> 27:41.500] It's a substantial amount. [27:41.500 --> 27:47.500] At a minimum, between 60 and 70 percent is absolutely wrong. [27:47.500 --> 27:50.500] Also, this lady has explained, [27:50.500 --> 27:53.500] and I wasn't there, I'm going by what she said, [27:53.500 --> 27:55.500] that she was put in a state of duress, [27:55.500 --> 27:59.500] and she's scared that she's going to, you know... [27:59.500 --> 28:02.500] Right now, she's got the problem of being under the stress [28:02.500 --> 28:04.500] that because she went down and filed this [28:04.500 --> 28:07.500] and refused to enter a plea because there is no complaint [28:07.500 --> 28:09.500] and there is no charging instrument, [28:09.500 --> 28:11.500] tomorrow she's going to have a warrant put out [28:11.500 --> 28:13.500] for her arrest from the municipal court [28:13.500 --> 28:15.500] claiming that she failed to appear. [28:15.500 --> 28:17.500] And she's got stamped copies saying she was there, [28:17.500 --> 28:20.500] but just flat told she wasn't going to get to see a magistrate. [28:20.500 --> 28:22.500] We just want you to plead. [28:22.500 --> 28:24.500] Well, there's another problem with that aspect of it. [28:24.500 --> 28:28.500] Where does Texas law authorize a court clerk to act as a judge [28:28.500 --> 28:31.500] and accept a plea from anybody? [28:31.500 --> 28:33.500] There is no authority in law for that. [28:33.500 --> 28:36.500] A clerk cannot take a plea. [28:36.500 --> 28:40.500] That's a function for a magistrate, not a court clerk. [28:40.500 --> 28:42.500] And yet, that's exactly the process. [28:42.500 --> 28:45.500] You walk in, you see nobody but a clerk. [28:45.500 --> 28:46.500] Well, I need to see the magistrate. [28:46.500 --> 28:48.500] Well, you're not going to see the magistrate. [28:48.500 --> 28:49.500] I need to see the magistrate. [28:49.500 --> 28:51.500] Well, you can't see the magistrate. [28:51.500 --> 28:52.500] Yet, when you sign that ticket, [28:52.500 --> 28:55.500] that's exactly what you're signing the alleged promise to do. [28:55.500 --> 28:58.500] You come see a magistrate, not a clerk. [28:58.500 --> 29:02.500] So there's no opportunity... [29:02.500 --> 29:08.500] Not until you go to trial or you manage to schedule a motions hearing, [29:08.500 --> 29:12.500] which the judges most of the time also will not do, [29:12.500 --> 29:14.500] because they just deny the motion out of hand. [29:14.500 --> 29:17.500] They don't read them, just none, [29:17.500 --> 29:19.500] if they bother to respond to them at all. [29:19.500 --> 29:23.500] But the judges seem to forget, the law is very clear, [29:23.500 --> 29:26.500] an unsigned order is a denied order. [29:26.500 --> 29:30.500] And when you file a motion in a court for a fair and impartial trial, [29:30.500 --> 29:36.500] and a judge denies it, what's that going to tell you? [29:36.500 --> 29:38.500] All right, folks, we'll be right back. [29:38.500 --> 29:42.500] As I said, this guy had no driver's license, no documentation, [29:42.500 --> 29:44.500] likely he was an illegal alien. [29:44.500 --> 29:46.500] It's just the same old story. [29:46.500 --> 29:49.500] Let the illegals walk, don't call immigration, [29:49.500 --> 29:50.500] and throw the book at the citizens, [29:50.500 --> 29:52.500] because it's easier to get money out of them. [29:52.500 --> 29:53.500] I'm sick of it. [29:53.500 --> 30:00.500] We'll be right back. [30:23.500 --> 30:29.500] We'll be right back. [30:53.500 --> 30:59.500] We'll be right back. [31:23.500 --> 31:29.500] We'll be right back. [31:53.500 --> 31:54.500] Mr. Catherine Albrecht, [31:54.500 --> 32:04.500] more news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [32:04.500 --> 32:10.500] Yes, I got the warrant, and I'm going to solve them. [32:10.500 --> 32:14.500] Today I'll government them, prosecute them. [32:14.500 --> 32:18.500] Okay. [32:18.500 --> 32:28.500] I'm sorry. [32:49.500 --> 32:54.500] Okay, so folks, just to recap so far, [32:54.500 --> 32:59.500] we've got this woman here, a citizen, law-abiding citizen, [32:59.500 --> 33:04.500] all her documentation in order, all her paperwork in order, et cetera, et cetera, [33:04.500 --> 33:08.500] a 16-year-old who's likely an illegal alien. [33:08.500 --> 33:09.500] We cannot prove that yet. [33:09.500 --> 33:11.500] At this point, we don't know. [33:11.500 --> 33:13.500] The kid did not have a driver's license. [33:13.500 --> 33:19.500] He's driving recklessly in the city of Austin, cuts her off, smashes into her. [33:19.500 --> 33:24.500] The police don't write the kid a ticket. [33:24.500 --> 33:27.500] They can't even talk to him because of language problem. [33:27.500 --> 33:31.500] Instead of trying to get an interpreter and trying to figure things out, [33:31.500 --> 33:36.500] they just, oh, well, let's just let the kid go, and they write the woman a ticket. [33:36.500 --> 33:39.500] The police falsify the police report, [33:39.500 --> 33:41.500] and they're trying to throw the book at the woman, [33:41.500 --> 33:47.500] and she can't even do anything concerning this ticket that she's been written [33:47.500 --> 33:49.500] because there's no complaint in the file. [33:49.500 --> 33:52.500] She can't enter a plea because there is no charging instrument, [33:52.500 --> 33:58.500] and so now there's the high concern that there's going to be a warrant for her arrest issued [33:58.500 --> 34:03.500] because she hasn't filed anything, or I don't know, has she filed any documents? [34:03.500 --> 34:05.500] Yeah, we did file her motion today, [34:05.500 --> 34:11.500] but the primary issue here is that because the police officers falsified the police report against her, [34:11.500 --> 34:14.500] her insurance company will not cover the cost of it, [34:14.500 --> 34:17.500] and everything for the repair of her car is coming out of her pocket, [34:17.500 --> 34:20.500] even though it was entirely not her fault. [34:20.500 --> 34:21.500] Right, exactly. [34:21.500 --> 34:24.500] Okay, so that is a big problem right there, [34:24.500 --> 34:28.500] this falsified police report by these police officers, [34:28.500 --> 34:32.500] and now the concern that there might be a warrant issued for this woman's arrest. [34:32.500 --> 34:44.500] Now, Eddie, did you guys file a motion to vacate the failure to appear by the court? [34:44.500 --> 34:47.500] Well, we don't know that the failure to appear has been filed. [34:47.500 --> 34:53.500] That would have been the normal procedure in these cases is if you won't enter a plea, [34:53.500 --> 34:56.500] well, we're going to just say you didn't show up. [34:56.500 --> 34:59.500] Unless you file something that day. [34:59.500 --> 35:00.500] That's why I was saying on the... [35:00.500 --> 35:01.500] Well, but that's what we did. [35:01.500 --> 35:07.500] We filed the motion today, the new motion, challenging the jurisdiction of the court. [35:07.500 --> 35:08.500] When was the honor before date? [35:08.500 --> 35:09.500] Today. [35:09.500 --> 35:10.500] Okay, okay. [35:10.500 --> 35:15.500] So if you all filed something, she probably will not have a failure to appear, but if... [35:15.500 --> 35:21.500] I'm willing to bet she does unless the mayor intercedes before then and brings this to the court's attention. [35:21.500 --> 35:22.500] I don't think so. [35:22.500 --> 35:29.500] Well, we'll see because, you know, I was helping someone out with a traffic ticket, you know, a couple of months ago, [35:29.500 --> 35:36.500] and that person filed a challenge to jurisdiction on the date of the last date of the honor before, [35:36.500 --> 35:39.500] and they did not get a failure to appear. [35:39.500 --> 35:43.500] But then there was another situation where someone had a traffic ticket, [35:43.500 --> 35:47.500] and they didn't file anything on the date of the honor before date. [35:47.500 --> 35:49.500] They just went down and said, well, I'm here. [35:49.500 --> 35:54.500] I want to see the magistrate, but they wouldn't let him see the magistrate, and he wouldn't enter a plea. [35:54.500 --> 35:58.500] And so he said, well, can you please document in my case that I did appear? [35:58.500 --> 36:01.500] Okay, but I can't enter a plea because I don't know what the charges are. [36:01.500 --> 36:03.500] Well, since he didn't file... [36:03.500 --> 36:10.500] I believe that it's because he didn't file anything in the case that day, that person got a failure to appear, [36:10.500 --> 36:14.500] and so he had to go back and file a motion to vacate the failure to appear. [36:14.500 --> 36:20.500] And now it looks like the court is vacating the failure to appear, and they're scheduling him a pretrial. [36:20.500 --> 36:27.500] Yeah, well, the thing I noticed today is there should be security video of anybody going into that court. [36:27.500 --> 36:31.500] So you can always show that the judge is falsifying the failure to appear [36:31.500 --> 36:35.500] because you are flat-told you are not going to see a magistrate. [36:35.500 --> 36:37.500] Right, right. Well, that's how it rolls here in Austin. [36:37.500 --> 36:44.500] Now, in other places, I mean, listen, it's like a well-oiled machine, the revenue, the revenue-in. [36:44.500 --> 36:46.500] Okay, that's why they call... [36:46.500 --> 36:51.500] Our grandfathers called these kinds of people the revenuers, all right, because that's all it's about. [36:51.500 --> 36:57.500] Now, in other places, a friend of mine, I may call in later this evening in the next hour, [36:57.500 --> 37:02.500] he's having a little bit more success up in College Station, [37:02.500 --> 37:09.500] and he actually got some of the first sets of batches of motions granted to him by the judge, [37:09.500 --> 37:18.500] and one of them was a motion to compel the prosecuting attorney basically to come up with a charging instrument, [37:18.500 --> 37:23.500] with a...I forgot what the first motion was, something about the nature and cause. [37:23.500 --> 37:29.500] There has to be a nature and cause, and so my friend filed a motion to compel, and the judge granted that. [37:29.500 --> 37:33.500] So we're starting to make some headway here, folks. [37:33.500 --> 37:40.500] But anyway, let's continue on with the clip. [37:40.500 --> 37:43.500] You're not going to be expecting any justice out of that court. [37:43.500 --> 37:50.500] You just got denied a fair and impartial trial. [37:50.500 --> 37:55.500] And it's all being done because of the Brinks trucks running back and forth in front of that building all day. [37:55.500 --> 38:02.500] That's what it's about. It's not about providing justice to anybody. [38:02.500 --> 38:06.500] It's bad, but it's fair. [38:06.500 --> 38:15.500] I guess what I'm looking for, I'm sorry, I will... [38:15.500 --> 38:18.500] She's on her thing real quick. Go ahead. [38:18.500 --> 38:21.500] Her contact information will be on any of the last three pages. [38:21.500 --> 38:22.500] Okay. [38:22.500 --> 38:29.500] The sign and signature block will be there on the very back for the proofs of service. [38:29.500 --> 38:32.500] Right down there at the bottom, right at your fingers. [38:32.500 --> 38:34.500] Okay. [38:34.500 --> 38:36.500] Because this thing cannot rest. [38:36.500 --> 38:39.500] It's going to go one way or the other. [38:39.500 --> 38:43.500] Well, I think that, understand I'll be more than happy to get my job. [38:43.500 --> 38:44.500] Yeah, I appreciate you. Thank you. [38:44.500 --> 38:48.500] I'm going to get it, you know, I'll let the mayor know that this has come in, [38:48.500 --> 38:56.500] that the three of you have come in to just share exactly how passionate you are behind this, [38:56.500 --> 39:00.500] what's the time you've put into it, but what also initiated it. [39:00.500 --> 39:05.500] She didn't tell you that she almost had a nervous breakdown when the police officer called for her help. [39:05.500 --> 39:06.500] Oh, God. [39:06.500 --> 39:08.500] She has a medical condition. [39:08.500 --> 39:09.500] I could not imagine. [39:09.500 --> 39:15.500] Well, the officer, when he was speaking to the other, and she can tell you, [39:15.500 --> 39:19.500] when he was speaking to the other gentleman, he yelled at her and said, [39:19.500 --> 39:22.500] get back in a loud voice. [39:22.500 --> 39:23.500] Yeah. [39:23.500 --> 39:25.500] And, you know. [39:25.500 --> 39:27.500] I mean, I believe you. [39:27.500 --> 39:33.500] I truly do. I work for the city, but I believe you. [39:33.500 --> 39:35.500] All of our officers are not like that, [39:35.500 --> 39:39.500] but unfortunately there are not enough good ones that are sensitive [39:39.500 --> 39:42.500] with a little bit more human decency. [39:42.500 --> 39:45.500] The real issue here, though, isn't about sensitivity. [39:45.500 --> 39:47.500] I don't care that they're sensitive. [39:47.500 --> 39:49.500] I care that they're respectful. [39:49.500 --> 39:52.500] I care that they know their job inside and out, [39:52.500 --> 39:56.500] not just the parts they want to know, hey, I get to shoot somebody if they make me mad. [39:56.500 --> 39:57.500] Okay? [39:57.500 --> 40:00.500] I want them to know that a public servant is a public servant. [40:00.500 --> 40:03.500] It doesn't matter whether they're wearing a badge and a gun. [40:03.500 --> 40:07.500] They're still a public servant, and their duty is to serve and protect, [40:07.500 --> 40:10.500] not threaten and abuse. [40:10.500 --> 40:17.500] And I'm running for sheriff in my county, okay, for exactly those reasons. [40:17.500 --> 40:20.500] And if I lived in Austin, [40:20.500 --> 40:24.500] I'd make a point of running for sheriff here for exactly those reasons, [40:24.500 --> 40:29.500] because this is the kind of stuff that needs to change. [40:29.500 --> 40:34.500] Was it Travis County Sheriff's Edition or APD offices on the scene? [40:34.500 --> 40:35.500] Both. [40:35.500 --> 40:37.500] APD was on the scene. [40:37.500 --> 40:42.500] The thing about it is, is because of Vanessa's got a vehicle that's sitting in the shop, [40:42.500 --> 40:44.500] at $3,000 damage, she's been harmed. [40:44.500 --> 40:47.500] And she's the one that's actually being forced to pay for it, [40:47.500 --> 40:51.500] because there was no information on the other kids' insurance or license or anything else. [40:51.500 --> 40:53.500] Her insurance won't pay for it. [40:53.500 --> 40:58.500] Because the police officers wrote the report up to make her appear at fault. [40:58.500 --> 41:02.500] And now it's coming off of her when she's not the one that even caused the incident. [41:02.500 --> 41:04.500] So that's adding to the pile. [41:04.500 --> 41:08.500] But the thing is, I don't know if you're familiar with it. [41:08.500 --> 41:14.500] You ever heard of Radio Station 9.1 here in Austin, Rule of Law radio? [41:14.500 --> 41:16.500] It does sound familiar. [41:16.500 --> 41:18.500] Okay, you need to tune into that, and I'll tell you why. [41:18.500 --> 41:20.500] I'm one of the co-hosts on that show. [41:20.500 --> 41:24.500] My specialty is due process and traffic law. [41:24.500 --> 41:31.500] And I can tell you a thousand different ways that the county and the municipality [41:31.500 --> 41:36.500] are putting themselves in hot water every single day with what they do. [41:36.500 --> 41:40.500] And all it's going to take is enough people like her that's willing to, [41:40.500 --> 41:45.500] despite the aggravation and what it's doing, to stand up and say, that's it. [41:45.500 --> 41:46.500] I've had enough. [41:46.500 --> 41:51.500] I'm going to find more people like me, and I'm going to come after you guys tooth and nail [41:51.500 --> 41:53.500] until something gets fixed. [41:53.500 --> 41:58.500] I've actually got, thanks to this gentleman, an appointment with the Texas legislature [41:58.500 --> 42:01.500] to introduce legislation to fix some of these things. [42:01.500 --> 42:07.500] To go to the legislature and show them this is where you guys have screwed the law up in this state. [42:07.500 --> 42:09.500] It violates the Constitution. [42:09.500 --> 42:12.500] It violates the very statutes you've written. [42:12.500 --> 42:17.500] You go back and you change one paragraph and one thing and completely alter how the law applies. [42:17.500 --> 42:18.500] That is illegal. [42:18.500 --> 42:20.500] You can't do that. [42:20.500 --> 42:24.500] The Constitution says when you alter an act, you must republish the act in its entirety, [42:24.500 --> 42:27.500] not just the portion you changed. [42:27.500 --> 42:33.500] And when the portion you changed changes the effect of the act, it's unconstitutional on its face. [42:33.500 --> 42:35.500] But they're doing it. [42:35.500 --> 42:40.500] And I intend to be one of the people that shows them why that's not going to be allowed anymore. [42:40.500 --> 42:44.500] That's what we want to fix. [42:44.500 --> 42:52.500] And I understand that the issue is in your position, according to the Constitution. [42:52.500 --> 43:00.500] I guess my question is, what happens in the meantime to you for your personal injury, [43:00.500 --> 43:02.500] the cost of your car? [43:02.500 --> 43:07.500] Do you have an attorney that would maybe, a lot of attorneys take it. [43:07.500 --> 43:10.500] It sounds like your case is so much in your favor, [43:10.500 --> 43:16.500] that there are attorneys that would take it with no charge upfront, only at the end of the case. [43:16.500 --> 43:19.500] There's another issue with that. [43:19.500 --> 43:22.500] If you put yourself in the hands of an attorney, [43:22.500 --> 43:25.500] not only is she not going to wind up with anything out of this, [43:25.500 --> 43:29.500] but he's going to throw her under the bus for his own benefit and gain. [43:29.500 --> 43:32.500] Watch them do it too many times. [43:32.500 --> 43:35.500] Most of the issues. [43:35.500 --> 43:44.500] And not to mention that the police report is incorrect and fabricated and fraudulent. [43:44.500 --> 43:47.500] And that's what needs to be fixed. [43:47.500 --> 43:49.500] That's why the insurance company isn't paying. [43:49.500 --> 43:54.500] Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a dire situation right now. [43:54.500 --> 44:00.500] We'll be right back, folks. [44:00.500 --> 44:05.500] We'll be right back. [44:30.500 --> 44:35.500] We'll be right back. [45:01.500 --> 45:03.500] More energy. [45:03.500 --> 45:05.500] Stronger immune power. [45:05.500 --> 45:08.500] Improved sense of well-being. [45:08.500 --> 45:12.500] How many supplements have you heard boast of these benefits? [45:12.500 --> 45:17.500] The team behind Centrition believes that supplements should over-deliver on their promises. [45:17.500 --> 45:21.500] And Centrition does just that. [45:21.500 --> 45:25.500] Centrition utilizes the ancient healing wisdom of Chinese medicine. [45:25.500 --> 45:28.500] In conjunction with the science of modern nutrition, [45:28.500 --> 45:31.500] adaptogenic herbs serve as the healing component, [45:31.500 --> 45:38.500] and organic hemp protein in greens and superfoods act as a balanced nutrient base. [45:38.500 --> 45:42.500] Plus, Centrition tastes great in just water. [45:42.500 --> 45:48.500] This powder supplement is everything you'd want in a product, and it's all natural. [45:48.500 --> 45:56.500] Visit Centrition.com to order yours or call 1-866-497-7436. [45:56.500 --> 46:01.500] After you use Centrition, you'll believe in supplements again. [46:17.500 --> 46:19.500] Okay, folks, we are back. [46:19.500 --> 46:22.500] We're going to continue on with the clip. [46:22.500 --> 46:24.500] We're not running the phones right now. [46:24.500 --> 46:25.500] We're going to finish this clip. [46:25.500 --> 46:31.500] It looks like we're going to go a little bit into the first segment of the second hour for the clip. [46:31.500 --> 46:33.500] After that, we'll be taking your calls. [46:33.500 --> 46:35.500] All right, here we go. [46:35.500 --> 46:39.500] For his own benefit and gain, watch them do it too many times. [46:39.500 --> 46:43.500] Most of the issues that are in this motion, an attorney will not even begin to argue [46:43.500 --> 46:48.500] because that judge will stomp on him like a roach. [46:48.500 --> 46:57.500] Okay, I guess my question is to argue for her to contest the police report where there's no money [46:57.500 --> 47:01.500] or not to actually take this issue on, but just to contest the police report. [47:01.500 --> 47:04.500] You think there's not an attorney that would do that? [47:04.500 --> 47:06.500] I'm sure there are. [47:06.500 --> 47:11.500] There's any number of them that would tell her they would take it if she'll either give them this much money [47:11.500 --> 47:13.500] or give them this much of the settlement, okay? [47:13.500 --> 47:17.500] But having been through that several times with attorneys and watched what they do, [47:17.500 --> 47:22.500] I guarantee you she's not going to be able to fit out of this deal in any way, shape, or form. [47:22.500 --> 47:26.500] Now, she can file suit herself, and if she's willing to learn the rules, can take it on herself, [47:26.500 --> 47:28.500] and I'm willing to bet she'll win it. [47:28.500 --> 47:31.500] But Janet, here's the thing. [47:31.500 --> 47:32.500] Be good. [47:32.500 --> 47:36.500] If you guys could, this office could get involved to make sure they're doing their job. [47:36.500 --> 47:40.500] If they don't, this thing could go to federal court and y'all could get drug into it. [47:40.500 --> 47:41.500] Oh, yes, no. [47:41.500 --> 47:42.500] And we don't. [47:42.500 --> 47:44.500] I hear you loud and clear on that. [47:44.500 --> 47:45.500] It's very serious. [47:45.500 --> 47:47.500] I was thinking about this. [47:47.500 --> 47:52.500] In the meantime, this lady sitting here and some idiot, this is what I was thinking about. [47:52.500 --> 47:56.500] Well, this office could help her make them do their job. [47:56.500 --> 48:00.500] They've actually gone down and talked to the actual police department [48:00.500 --> 48:05.500] and flat out brought up the information that, hey, this report is flat wrong. [48:05.500 --> 48:06.500] So? [48:06.500 --> 48:07.500] They don't care. [48:07.500 --> 48:08.500] They don't care. [48:08.500 --> 48:10.500] Well, the officer wrote it up incorrectly. [48:10.500 --> 48:12.500] So? [48:12.500 --> 48:17.500] That's why we want this office, your office, to get involved on this and make it right. [48:17.500 --> 48:20.500] I mean, if you can, you know. [48:20.500 --> 48:22.500] Of course, you know, I'm just the messenger. [48:22.500 --> 48:23.500] I know. [48:23.500 --> 48:24.500] I'll give all the... [48:24.500 --> 48:25.500] I know. [48:25.500 --> 48:26.500] I appreciate you. [48:26.500 --> 48:27.500] We deeply appreciate you. [48:27.500 --> 48:29.500] But it could end up costing... [48:29.500 --> 48:30.500] Go ahead. [48:30.500 --> 48:31.500] Yeah. [48:31.500 --> 48:32.500] I'll tell you what. [48:32.500 --> 48:34.500] If the mayor ever gets a hole in his schedule, [48:34.500 --> 48:37.500] I guarantee you that myself and Randy Kelsey, my co-host, [48:37.500 --> 48:40.500] would love to have a little bit of time to bend his ear [48:40.500 --> 48:44.500] because what I've given you today information-wise [48:44.500 --> 48:49.500] is it doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg, okay, [48:49.500 --> 48:53.500] as to what the problems are and how they need to be addressed. [48:53.500 --> 48:54.500] I'm sorry, sir. [48:54.500 --> 48:55.500] We just jumped right into this. [48:55.500 --> 48:56.500] That's okay. [48:56.500 --> 48:58.500] I did not ask anybody's name. [48:58.500 --> 49:00.500] We just kind of jumped right in it. [49:00.500 --> 49:01.500] Eddie. [49:01.500 --> 49:02.500] Okay. [49:02.500 --> 49:03.500] Eddie. [49:03.500 --> 49:04.500] I'm sorry. [49:04.500 --> 49:05.500] Last name, Eddie? [49:05.500 --> 49:06.500] Craig. [49:06.500 --> 49:07.500] C-R-A-G. [49:07.500 --> 49:08.500] All righty. [49:08.500 --> 49:11.500] And, Eddie, tell me the title of the radio. [49:11.500 --> 49:13.500] Rule of Law Radio. [49:13.500 --> 49:14.500] Okay. [49:14.500 --> 49:17.500] And you can actually get it at ruleoflawradio.com as well. [49:17.500 --> 49:18.500] Okay. [49:18.500 --> 49:21.500] You can listen to it on 90.1 sometimes. [49:21.500 --> 49:23.500] But is it FM or... [49:23.500 --> 49:25.500] Yeah, 90.1 FM. [49:25.500 --> 49:26.500] Okay. [49:26.500 --> 49:27.500] All right. [49:27.500 --> 49:29.500] And so... [49:29.500 --> 49:32.500] And, Eddie, you mentioned a co-host. [49:32.500 --> 49:34.500] Randy Kelsey. [49:34.500 --> 49:36.500] Randy's specialty is due process. [49:36.500 --> 49:39.500] He can quote the code of criminal procedure [49:39.500 --> 49:41.500] like you can quote your favorite pie recipe. [49:41.500 --> 49:44.500] In his sleep. [49:44.500 --> 49:45.500] I don't know, guys. [49:45.500 --> 49:46.500] I've not said a whole lot. [49:46.500 --> 49:47.500] I don't bake. [49:47.500 --> 49:48.500] I find out... [49:48.500 --> 49:49.500] Well... [49:49.500 --> 49:52.500] I think there's something else. [49:52.500 --> 49:54.500] Me making mashed potatoes. [49:54.500 --> 49:56.500] Well, okay. [49:56.500 --> 49:57.500] You pick the analogy. [49:57.500 --> 50:00.500] But whatever you're most familiar with, he can do it that way. [50:00.500 --> 50:01.500] Okay, okay. [50:01.500 --> 50:05.500] But the point is is that, I mean, [50:05.500 --> 50:09.500] he has studied it in depth as I have. [50:09.500 --> 50:14.500] And I've spent 11 years and he's spent 30 on the due process. [50:14.500 --> 50:18.500] And I've been 11 years on the traffic code and the due process. [50:18.500 --> 50:19.500] And... [50:19.500 --> 50:21.500] He's something else. [50:21.500 --> 50:22.500] Yeah. [50:22.500 --> 50:26.500] He's already said that in the year and a half I've been on the radio with him, [50:26.500 --> 50:28.500] I've uncovered more first blush arguments [50:28.500 --> 50:33.500] that we can't find a single court case on in this state than he's ever seen. [50:33.500 --> 50:39.500] Because the law is so contradictory in what it does as to what it's required to do, [50:39.500 --> 50:44.500] it's not even funny. [50:44.500 --> 50:47.500] I bet it would shock you to find out that every time your city attorney [50:47.500 --> 50:50.500] goes to court over there to prosecute a traffic case, [50:50.500 --> 50:55.500] he's in direct violation of Texas law. [50:55.500 --> 50:59.500] And I have to be very honest and say it would shock me because I'm not well... [50:59.500 --> 51:00.500] Right. [51:00.500 --> 51:01.500] Right. [51:01.500 --> 51:02.500] Yeah. [51:02.500 --> 51:07.500] Again, Texas Constitution was not just traffic, it's criminal prosecution. [51:07.500 --> 51:09.500] Texas Constitution is very clear. [51:09.500 --> 51:13.500] Only two officers are authorized to act as an attorney for the state, [51:13.500 --> 51:18.500] the county attorney, the district attorney, not the city attorney. [51:18.500 --> 51:22.500] The city attorney in Chapter 45 of the Code of Criminal Procedure [51:22.500 --> 51:26.500] is given specific authority to try all cases at a municipal court. [51:26.500 --> 51:31.500] He is given, however, no authority to act as an attorney for the state. [51:31.500 --> 51:33.500] So there's a two-pronged problem here. [51:33.500 --> 51:37.500] Either you cannot call a traffic issue criminal [51:37.500 --> 51:42.500] or the county attorney is the one that must prosecute it in municipal court. [51:42.500 --> 51:44.500] He's the only one that can't. [51:44.500 --> 51:47.500] And Chapter 45 says the county attorney can prosecute in municipal court. [51:47.500 --> 51:49.500] He just can't get paid for it. [51:49.500 --> 51:51.500] So he doesn't go. [51:51.500 --> 51:54.500] The city attorney goes for him. [51:54.500 --> 51:56.500] But there's no authority for him to do that. [51:56.500 --> 51:59.500] 2.07 Code of Criminal Procedure, Attorney Pro Tem, [51:59.500 --> 52:03.500] where the judge appoints the city attorney as the attorney pro tem. [52:03.500 --> 52:05.500] Again, violation of law. [52:05.500 --> 52:09.500] The attorney pro tem is required to take the official oath of office, [52:09.500 --> 52:12.500] the anti-bribery statement, and to have a bond [52:12.500 --> 52:15.500] because he is acting in an official public office capacity. [52:15.500 --> 52:18.500] The city attorney has none of those things. [52:18.500 --> 52:21.500] He cannot sign an information nor an indictment. [52:21.500 --> 52:25.500] Only a county or district attorney can sign an information or an indictment. [52:25.500 --> 52:29.500] 2.05 Code of Criminal Procedure says in any county [52:29.500 --> 52:32.500] with a district criminal court, one or more, [52:32.500 --> 52:37.500] an information must be filed in all misdemeanor cases. [52:37.500 --> 52:42.500] Travis County Municipal Court or Austin Municipal Court [52:42.500 --> 52:46.500] has no information to be filed for anybody. [52:46.500 --> 52:49.500] And most of them don't have criminal complaints in them. [52:49.500 --> 52:52.500] And you can't have an information without a criminal complaint. [52:52.500 --> 52:54.500] They don't stand apart. [52:54.500 --> 52:57.500] They're completely dependent upon one another. [52:57.500 --> 53:01.500] And only that information, according to Article 5, Section 12B, [53:01.500 --> 53:06.500] Texas Constitution, vests the court with jurisdiction to hear the cause. [53:06.500 --> 53:09.500] The complaint doesn't give them jurisdiction. [53:09.500 --> 53:11.500] The information does. [53:11.500 --> 53:13.500] And it's never there. [53:13.500 --> 53:16.500] But the judge still issues a warrant for failure to appear, [53:16.500 --> 53:22.500] even though there's no complaint and there's no information. [53:22.500 --> 53:28.500] So as you can see, they stack the blocks up until they're real, real tall [53:28.500 --> 53:30.500] and the city is under them. [53:30.500 --> 53:33.500] And somebody's going to come along and kick one of them out one of these days, [53:33.500 --> 53:37.500] and the whole pile is going to come down. [53:37.500 --> 53:41.500] And after this meeting with the legislature, I hope I'm the guy with the shoot. [53:41.500 --> 53:44.500] Well, I can tell. I can tell. [53:44.500 --> 53:49.500] Well, I tell you what, I will, like I said, I will put this in front of the mayor. [53:49.500 --> 53:53.500] I will let him know this is where you came in. [53:53.500 --> 53:58.500] Quite honestly, the law will probably be called down, [53:58.500 --> 54:02.500] because that's what the mayor, any mayor, not just the one that's in the office now. [54:02.500 --> 54:03.500] The what will? [54:03.500 --> 54:04.500] That's what they did. [54:04.500 --> 54:08.500] They called the law department, and someone will come down, [54:08.500 --> 54:11.500] and I'm sure there will be discussion, but I won't be pretty sure. [54:11.500 --> 54:13.500] Which that's where you all come in. [54:13.500 --> 54:18.500] That was between the mayor and the law department. [54:18.500 --> 54:21.500] Do you have any cards? [54:21.500 --> 54:22.500] Oh, yes, I have cards. [54:22.500 --> 54:23.500] Can we get a couple of cards? [54:23.500 --> 54:24.500] When do you thank y'all? [54:24.500 --> 54:30.500] How soon, because of the sensitivity of this situation, [54:30.500 --> 54:34.500] can somebody respond back to this lady? [54:34.500 --> 54:35.500] Oh, that I can't. [54:35.500 --> 54:37.500] Maybe tomorrow or the next day? [54:37.500 --> 54:39.500] The law department is going to be the one. [54:39.500 --> 54:43.500] Because also the police monitor needs to be brought into this situation [54:43.500 --> 54:47.500] to see if that officer didn't follow protocol. [54:47.500 --> 54:50.500] Did you also file a complaint with the police monitor's office? [54:50.500 --> 54:51.500] Not yet. [54:51.500 --> 54:52.500] Oh, yeah, we did. [54:52.500 --> 54:53.500] Yeah, we did. [54:53.500 --> 54:54.500] We've already talked. [54:54.500 --> 54:55.500] That's right. [54:55.500 --> 54:57.500] We did talk to the police monitor, [54:57.500 --> 55:00.500] so I forgot that was the office that we did. [55:00.500 --> 55:01.500] I'm sorry. [55:01.500 --> 55:02.500] Okay. [55:02.500 --> 55:06.500] I can get some business cards from the mayor and myself, [55:06.500 --> 55:08.500] but of course, law, they have their own. [55:08.500 --> 55:09.500] I understand. [55:09.500 --> 55:10.500] Thank you. [55:10.500 --> 55:15.500] Can we have the police report amended? [55:15.500 --> 55:17.500] If the police officer does it. [55:17.500 --> 55:19.500] If he does it or is firing him? [55:19.500 --> 55:20.500] But the problem is... [55:20.500 --> 55:21.500] He could waive it to do it by someone above him? [55:21.500 --> 55:22.500] Yeah, sure. [55:22.500 --> 55:23.500] Well, no. [55:23.500 --> 55:25.500] He has to write what he thinks, [55:25.500 --> 55:28.500] but he knows whether or not he falsified the report. [55:28.500 --> 55:30.500] That puts him in a Catch-22. [55:30.500 --> 55:34.500] If he changes it, he admits that he falsified it to the mayor. [55:34.500 --> 55:37.500] There's a situation with incidents that could be... [55:37.500 --> 55:43.500] And if he goes back now and officers report back the actual facts, [55:43.500 --> 55:45.500] he admitted the first one was wrong, [55:45.500 --> 55:49.500] and now that's really put a noose around the city's neck. [55:49.500 --> 55:51.500] I think the mayor will probably do the right thing. [55:51.500 --> 55:53.500] We'll try to do the right thing in this situation. [55:53.500 --> 55:54.500] Let's just be clear. [55:54.500 --> 56:00.500] We're not asking the mayor to interfere with the proper operational law, [56:00.500 --> 56:04.500] but the problem here is none of this is proper, [56:04.500 --> 56:06.500] and none of it's proper, [56:06.500 --> 56:10.500] because none of it's in accordance with law. [56:10.500 --> 56:12.500] That paper will show that very clearly, [56:12.500 --> 56:16.500] and I'm quite sure someone from law is going to want to argue over it. [56:16.500 --> 56:20.500] I'd be more than happy to give them that opportunity, [56:20.500 --> 56:23.500] because everything in there is taken straight out of the code. [56:23.500 --> 56:25.500] Nothing's made of. [56:25.500 --> 56:27.500] It's all there, [56:27.500 --> 56:33.500] and I would love to see the right thing be done on her behalf, [56:33.500 --> 56:35.500] because that's what should be done. [56:35.500 --> 56:40.500] But at the same time, I'm quite sure everyone would like to see that [56:40.500 --> 56:46.500] when an officer goes out to do a public service, that's what he does. [56:46.500 --> 56:48.500] If that would have happened, we wouldn't have seen it. [56:48.500 --> 56:49.500] Exactly. [56:49.500 --> 56:51.500] I assure you. [56:51.500 --> 56:54.500] Had he just not had whatever kind of day he had [56:54.500 --> 56:57.500] and took it out on the next person he came across, [56:57.500 --> 56:59.500] this would be a non-issue, [56:59.500 --> 57:01.500] or at least in her case it would be a non-issue. [57:01.500 --> 57:03.500] Wouldn't do anything about the other poor schmucks [57:03.500 --> 57:07.500] having to stand down there every day and go do the same puppy mill. [57:07.500 --> 57:10.500] But that's what the problem is. [57:10.500 --> 57:13.500] One thing that she's told, she's mixed me in, [57:13.500 --> 57:15.500] she probably says she's going to have to get into a doctor [57:15.500 --> 57:17.500] and get something to settle her nerves. [57:17.500 --> 57:19.500] It's got her that upset. [57:19.500 --> 57:21.500] I don't want to say I know how you feel. [57:21.500 --> 57:24.500] All I could say is I could imagine, [57:24.500 --> 57:29.500] especially when you try to be a law-abiding citizen, [57:29.500 --> 57:32.500] and you feel like, absolutely, hey, I lived right. [57:32.500 --> 57:34.500] Why is this happening to me? [57:34.500 --> 57:37.500] If I could make a suggestion, who would you have [57:37.500 --> 57:40.500] that is knowledgeable in the Code of Criminal Procedures [57:40.500 --> 57:45.500] yet is not well known by the people in the municipal court? [57:45.500 --> 57:48.500] Now, just as a suggestion, I don't need a specific name, [57:48.500 --> 57:51.500] but here's the suggestion to go along with that. [57:51.500 --> 57:56.500] You have these people go sit through some of these sessions in municipal court. [57:56.500 --> 58:00.500] You watch how that judge railroads everybody that stands up in front of him, [58:00.500 --> 58:04.500] how he denies every mention of the law that they try to introduce, [58:04.500 --> 58:07.500] every objection they make, and he overrules, [58:07.500 --> 58:10.500] despite the fact that he's required to abide by those rules, [58:10.500 --> 58:13.500] and he won't do it. [58:13.500 --> 58:15.500] I mean... [58:15.500 --> 58:17.500] No, he will not do it. [58:17.500 --> 58:20.500] And you know what, Eddie, I was starting to think in this last segment? [58:20.500 --> 58:24.500] This looks like a job for the victim's rights advocate. [58:24.500 --> 58:32.500] I think we need to get our buddy Jim and his friend on the case on this one. [58:32.500 --> 58:34.500] Maybe. [58:34.500 --> 58:37.500] Because this is obviously a crime that's being committed against this woman. [58:37.500 --> 58:39.500] She is the victim. [58:39.500 --> 58:43.500] So it's time for us to bring in some victims' rights. [58:43.500 --> 58:45.500] Works for me. [58:45.500 --> 58:48.500] All right, folks, we will be back, and we will finish up this clip in the next segment, [58:48.500 --> 58:51.500] and then we'll be opening up the phones. [58:51.500 --> 58:53.500] We'll be right back after the top-of-the-hour break. [58:53.500 --> 58:55.500] This is the rule of law. [58:55.500 --> 59:00.500] Randy Kelton, Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens. [59:00.500 --> 59:04.500] The Bible remains the most popular book in the world, [59:04.500 --> 59:08.500] yet countless readers are frustrated because they struggle to understand it. [59:08.500 --> 59:12.500] Some new translations try to help by simplifying the text, [59:12.500 --> 59:17.500] but in the process can compromise the profound meaning of the Scripture. [59:17.500 --> 59:19.500] Enter the recovery version. [59:19.500 --> 59:23.500] At first, this new translation is extremely faithful and accurate, [59:23.500 --> 59:28.500] but the real story is the more than 9,000 explanatory footnotes. [59:28.500 --> 59:32.500] Difficult and profound passages are opened up in a marvelous way, [59:32.500 --> 59:38.500] providing an entrance into the riches of the Word beyond which you've ever experienced before.

[01:00:04.500 --> 01:00:09.500] Mohammed Al-Sabahd, Air Cargo Director for Yemiyah Airways, [01:00:09.500 --> 01:00:13.500] said Friday accusations, a parcel originating in Yemen, [01:00:13.500 --> 01:00:18.500] containing explosives addressed to a Chicago synagogue were false and baseless, [01:00:18.500 --> 01:00:27.500] adding, quote, no UPS or DHL cargo packages heading to Chicago through Yemen took place in the last 48 hours. [01:00:27.500 --> 01:00:35.500] A U.S. military tribunal Sunday sentenced former Guantanamo child detainee Omar Khadir to 40 years in prison, [01:00:35.500 --> 01:00:39.500] although he will only serve up to eight years behind bars under a plea deal. [01:00:39.500 --> 01:00:45.500] To avoid a life sentence, Khadir had pleaded guilty to murder in violation of the laws of war, [01:00:45.500 --> 01:00:49.500] providing material assistance to a terrorist organization and espionage. [01:00:49.500 --> 01:00:55.500] Khadir will serve one year at Guantanamo and the rest in Canada. [01:00:55.500 --> 01:01:02.500] Six people were killed Monday by a non-UN-sanctioned U.S. drone in Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area. [01:01:02.500 --> 01:01:08.500] Earlier this year, The Long War Journal, a U.S. website tracking U.S. drone strikes, [01:01:08.500 --> 01:01:12.500] pointed out the assaults have not killed the main militant leaders. [01:01:12.500 --> 01:01:18.500] Since August 2008, over 1,000 people have been killed by U.S. drones in tribal areas of Pakistan. [01:01:18.500 --> 01:01:23.500] Over 90 percent of the victims were civilians. [01:01:23.500 --> 01:01:28.500] Israel's Labor Party will walk out of the right-wing-dominated coalition government [01:01:28.500 --> 01:01:33.500] unless serious negotiations with the Palestinians get underway in the coming weeks. [01:01:33.500 --> 01:01:39.500] Cabinet Minister Avishai Braverman, an expected challenger to Ehud Barak for the party's leadership, says, [01:01:39.500 --> 01:01:45.500] the only way to guarantee the state of the Jewish people is to move boldly after the U.S. election. [01:01:45.500 --> 01:01:48.500] Braverman, the minister for minorities, said, [01:01:48.500 --> 01:01:54.500] if there are the beginnings of serious negotiations, Labor stays. If not, Labor leaves. [01:01:54.500 --> 01:01:58.500] Labor's departure from Netanyahu's government could trigger its collapse [01:01:58.500 --> 01:02:02.500] unless the Kadima Party could be persuaded to join. [01:02:02.500 --> 01:02:08.500] But Kadima has said it would not enter a coalition which included the right-wing Israel Betanyu Party [01:02:08.500 --> 01:02:12.500] led by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. [01:02:12.500 --> 01:02:18.500] 200,000 people who filled the Washington Mall Saturday in the rally to restore sanity and or fear [01:02:18.500 --> 01:02:23.500] heard the theme the American way of doing politics has gotten too much. [01:02:23.500 --> 01:02:27.500] Organized by Comedy Central's John Stewart and Stephen Colbert, [01:02:27.500 --> 01:02:32.500] the gathering was a showcase of hundreds of clever, satirical, silly placards [01:02:32.500 --> 01:02:37.500] on the frustration and weariness of a long, shrill election campaign. [01:02:37.500 --> 01:02:41.500] The signs celebrated the day and made fun of the angry demonstrations [01:02:41.500 --> 01:02:44.500] and town hall meetings of the last two summers. [01:02:44.500 --> 01:02:49.500] Stewart and Colbert challenged the crowd to be critical of 24-7 media, [01:02:49.500 --> 01:02:53.500] including their own medium of cable TV. [01:03:20.500 --> 01:03:26.500] It's all according to the will of the Almighty [01:03:26.500 --> 01:03:34.500] I read his book and it says he cares not for the unsightly [01:03:34.500 --> 01:03:43.500] These warmongers come by that term rightly [01:03:43.500 --> 01:03:46.500] I won't pay for the war with my body [01:03:46.500 --> 01:03:49.500] Ain't gonna pay for the car with my money [01:03:49.500 --> 01:03:53.500] I won't pay for the fun with my body [01:03:53.500 --> 01:03:56.500] Their plans wicked and their logic shoddy [01:03:56.500 --> 01:03:59.500] Ain't gonna pay for the oil with my body [01:03:59.500 --> 01:04:04.500] Alright, we're not gonna pay anymore with our money. [01:04:04.500 --> 01:04:07.500] These revenuers operating illegally. [01:04:07.500 --> 01:04:10.500] Okay, here's the rest of the clip, folks. [01:04:10.500 --> 01:04:14.500] I mean, for heaven's sake, you got people, the clerks down there are saying, [01:04:14.500 --> 01:04:16.500] would you like a court reporter? [01:04:16.500 --> 01:04:19.500] You would have to be an absolute idiot to say no. [01:04:19.500 --> 01:04:23.500] That court record is the only way you're gonna catch this judge at what he does [01:04:23.500 --> 01:04:27.500] and keep him under any semblance of control as far as the law goes. [01:04:27.500 --> 01:04:29.500] You say no, I don't need a court reporter. [01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:33.500] You just went out and jumped off a cliff with a noose around your neck. [01:04:33.500 --> 01:04:37.500] But they're not allowing court reporters in there, I don't think, are they? [01:04:37.500 --> 01:04:40.500] Well, this one is a court of record. [01:04:40.500 --> 01:04:43.500] But the thing is, a court of record means exactly that. [01:04:43.500 --> 01:04:45.500] It's not a would you like a court reporter. [01:04:45.500 --> 01:04:47.500] It's a court reporter will be present. [01:04:47.500 --> 01:04:49.500] Right. [01:04:49.500 --> 01:04:51.500] Okay, but they're giving you the chance to opt out of that [01:04:51.500 --> 01:04:56.500] so there's no documentation about what's going on. [01:04:56.500 --> 01:04:59.500] Believe me, most of the courts I spend my time in fighting these issues [01:04:59.500 --> 01:05:01.500] are courts of no record. [01:05:01.500 --> 01:05:04.500] And the judge can do anything he wants, any way he wants, [01:05:04.500 --> 01:05:07.500] and there's nothing to hold him accountable. [01:05:07.500 --> 01:05:10.500] Now, I know we didn't get into this, [01:05:10.500 --> 01:05:12.500] and we'll get out of your hair as soon as I get this set, [01:05:12.500 --> 01:05:17.500] but one of the other issues is when the court, out of necessity, [01:05:17.500 --> 01:05:20.500] finds you guilty and you go to appeal, [01:05:20.500 --> 01:05:23.500] the other due process violation that crops up immediately [01:05:23.500 --> 01:05:27.500] is they demand that you pay double the amount of the fine for a bond [01:05:27.500 --> 01:05:30.500] before you're even allowed to appeal. [01:05:30.500 --> 01:05:34.500] Do you know that fine-only offenses are the only ones that's done to? [01:05:34.500 --> 01:05:38.500] A murderer doesn't have to post a bond to get an appeal. [01:05:38.500 --> 01:05:44.500] A bank robber doesn't have to post a bond to get an appeal. [01:05:44.500 --> 01:05:48.500] Yet if you get charged with a fine-only misdemeanor, [01:05:48.500 --> 01:05:50.500] pay us money, or you don't get an appeal, [01:05:50.500 --> 01:05:54.500] our last ruling is the only ruling you'll ever see. [01:05:54.500 --> 01:05:58.500] Well, the problem is you go back to the 30s, 40s, and 50s [01:05:58.500 --> 01:06:02.500] of the case law here in Texas, and it very clearly says [01:06:02.500 --> 01:06:07.500] that bond is only to be charged after an adjudication of guilt [01:06:07.500 --> 01:06:10.500] in the court of appeals. [01:06:10.500 --> 01:06:13.500] Then and only then will the court go back and charge you [01:06:13.500 --> 01:06:16.500] for the municipal fees, the bond, [01:06:16.500 --> 01:06:19.500] and the adjudication in the appeals court. [01:06:19.500 --> 01:06:24.500] Not before. To do it before denies you access to the courts. [01:06:24.500 --> 01:06:26.500] It denies you the right of appeal, [01:06:26.500 --> 01:06:31.500] especially when this is supposed to be a trial de novo, [01:06:31.500 --> 01:06:34.500] meaning a do-over, okay? [01:06:34.500 --> 01:06:37.500] If you're in a court of no record in Texas, [01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:40.500] then you appeal it, they go back, [01:06:40.500 --> 01:06:43.500] and they do the entire process again in the county court. [01:06:43.500 --> 01:06:45.500] If you're in a court of record, [01:06:45.500 --> 01:06:49.500] then you actually have to go to an appeal in the county court, [01:06:49.500 --> 01:06:51.500] not a trial de novo. [01:06:51.500 --> 01:06:54.500] But in either case, you can't get to the county court [01:06:54.500 --> 01:06:59.500] without paying double whatever the lower court has set you for. [01:06:59.500 --> 01:07:02.500] I think that's just being practiced here. [01:07:02.500 --> 01:07:07.500] No, it's practiced in Texas in every court, okay? [01:07:07.500 --> 01:07:11.500] The problem is it's written into the statute that they do that, [01:07:11.500 --> 01:07:15.500] but what's no longer written there that used to be written there [01:07:15.500 --> 01:07:18.500] is, and because it used to be written there, [01:07:18.500 --> 01:07:20.500] and the reason the case law is the way it is, [01:07:20.500 --> 01:07:25.500] is because it's a due process violation, constitutionally speaking, [01:07:25.500 --> 01:07:28.500] that they are required to allow you the appeal [01:07:28.500 --> 01:07:30.500] before they can charge you the bond. [01:07:30.500 --> 01:07:35.500] Only if you're found guilty on the appeal can they assess the bond. [01:07:35.500 --> 01:07:37.500] And then it doesn't have to be double. [01:07:37.500 --> 01:07:42.500] Then you just pay whatever the assessment was in the court. [01:07:42.500 --> 01:07:43.500] That's due process. [01:07:43.500 --> 01:07:45.500] Here you're being denied that. [01:07:45.500 --> 01:07:47.500] Give us double what you would have had to pay, [01:07:47.500 --> 01:07:51.500] which most people can't afford to pay what they've been assessed originally. [01:07:51.500 --> 01:07:53.500] How are they going to pay double to get their appeal? [01:07:53.500 --> 01:07:56.500] Well, they're not, and we're counting on that. [01:07:56.500 --> 01:07:59.500] So now go make your payment plan with the clerk, [01:07:59.500 --> 01:08:03.500] and we'll call the Brinks truck in a couple of days. [01:08:03.500 --> 01:08:05.500] Or they go to jail. [01:08:05.500 --> 01:08:07.500] Some of them choose to lie out. [01:08:07.500 --> 01:08:10.500] They can't go to jail for a fine-only misdemeanor. [01:08:10.500 --> 01:08:14.500] They can't send us them to jail for a fine-only misdemeanor. [01:08:14.500 --> 01:08:15.500] Okay? [01:08:15.500 --> 01:08:18.500] Which is exactly the part of the problem [01:08:18.500 --> 01:08:22.500] when the police officer arrests you during a traffic stop. [01:08:22.500 --> 01:08:26.500] Are you aware, for instance, Chapter 543, Transportation Code, [01:08:26.500 --> 01:08:31.500] the moment a police officer in Texas anywhere at any time initiates a traffic stop, [01:08:31.500 --> 01:08:35.500] did you know you're under a custodial arrest? [01:08:35.500 --> 01:08:38.500] You are, according to Chapter 543. [01:08:38.500 --> 01:08:42.500] The moment he stops you, you're in a custodial arrest. [01:08:42.500 --> 01:08:45.500] And in order to be freed from that custodial arrest, [01:08:45.500 --> 01:08:47.500] this law is very specific. [01:08:47.500 --> 01:08:51.500] The arresting officer shall release the person arrested from custody [01:08:51.500 --> 01:08:56.500] if the person will sign a promise to appear, [01:08:56.500 --> 01:09:00.500] which is an illegal summons, which that motion deals with. [01:09:00.500 --> 01:09:03.500] Okay? [01:09:03.500 --> 01:09:08.500] Now, the reason that was implemented was so they didn't have to take you directly to a magistrate. [01:09:08.500 --> 01:09:11.500] Well, that introduces a whole other plethora of problems [01:09:11.500 --> 01:09:15.500] because they then switch from the rules of the Transportation Code [01:09:15.500 --> 01:09:18.500] to the rules of the Code of Criminal Procedure. [01:09:18.500 --> 01:09:22.500] The problem with that is, is they're skipping the part of the Transportation Code [01:09:22.500 --> 01:09:26.500] that governs the process like it doesn't apply. [01:09:26.500 --> 01:09:29.500] See, in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1406, [01:09:29.500 --> 01:09:35.500] it says that they have no more than 48 hours to get you in front of a magistrate. [01:09:35.500 --> 01:09:38.500] Now, what that really says and means, according to the case law, [01:09:38.500 --> 01:09:43.500] is that when that officer arrests you, he is required to take you straight to a magistrate. [01:09:43.500 --> 01:09:45.500] He's not allowed to take you to a jail cell. [01:09:45.500 --> 01:09:48.500] Okay? That's another due process violation. [01:09:48.500 --> 01:09:51.500] He has to take you to a magistrate. [01:09:51.500 --> 01:09:53.500] The law even goes further and says, [01:09:53.500 --> 01:09:56.500] if the one that would normally have jurisdiction is not available, [01:09:56.500 --> 01:10:00.500] then the officer, in order to more expeditiously see [01:10:00.500 --> 01:10:03.500] that the proper thing is done for the accused, [01:10:03.500 --> 01:10:06.500] he is to find the next nearest magistrate. [01:10:06.500 --> 01:10:08.500] And if they're not available, the next one after that, [01:10:08.500 --> 01:10:11.500] even if he has to go to a different county, [01:10:11.500 --> 01:10:14.500] says it right in the law, and they don't do it. [01:10:14.500 --> 01:10:16.500] They take you straight to a jail cell. [01:10:16.500 --> 01:10:19.500] You get arrested on Friday night. Good luck till Monday morning. [01:10:19.500 --> 01:10:20.500] It's like the blood drawing. [01:10:20.500 --> 01:10:22.500] Possibly even Tuesday morning. [01:10:22.500 --> 01:10:24.500] All depends on when the judge wants to come in. [01:10:24.500 --> 01:10:26.500] But you're stuck. [01:10:26.500 --> 01:10:28.500] Now, please answer a question for me if you can. [01:10:28.500 --> 01:10:32.500] And I know it's not your area, but you have a fine-only offense, [01:10:32.500 --> 01:10:38.500] which the law very clearly says you cannot sentence a person to jail for this offense. [01:10:38.500 --> 01:10:40.500] Can't do it. [01:10:40.500 --> 01:10:44.500] Yet, when you arrest them for it, you go throw them in jail and leave them there [01:10:44.500 --> 01:10:47.500] till some magistrate decides he wants to see them. [01:10:47.500 --> 01:10:49.500] Is there a contradiction going on here? [01:10:49.500 --> 01:10:51.500] Well, Eddie, they don't even see them here. [01:10:51.500 --> 01:10:52.500] They just go down. [01:10:52.500 --> 01:10:54.500] The prosecutor goes down and talks to the judge, [01:10:54.500 --> 01:10:57.500] and then they come back and tell you they don't even take you sometimes. [01:10:57.500 --> 01:10:59.500] Yeah, but that's another problem. [01:10:59.500 --> 01:11:01.500] They leave you in jail, and the prosecutor does it for you. [01:11:01.500 --> 01:11:03.500] The law also says if you've been incarcerated [01:11:03.500 --> 01:11:07.500] and there has been no information handed down on you within 48 hours, [01:11:07.500 --> 01:11:10.500] they'd better be letting you go, and they don't do that either. [01:11:10.500 --> 01:11:11.500] They just hold you. [01:11:11.500 --> 01:11:12.500] They'll keep you over the weekend. [01:11:12.500 --> 01:11:17.500] They'll keep you up to 10 days, and you won't see anybody for a traffic fine. [01:11:17.500 --> 01:11:20.500] But do you think that's happened to the lower associates of Amish police [01:11:20.500 --> 01:11:22.500] that don't really know the law? [01:11:22.500 --> 01:11:24.500] Do you think people that know the law... [01:11:24.500 --> 01:11:29.500] Well, do you think it's only the lower economic groups that don't know the law? [01:11:29.500 --> 01:11:33.500] You can be the wealthiest guy in town and not know the law, [01:11:33.500 --> 01:11:37.500] but it's not an inconvenience for you to pop down $200 to get out of jail. [01:11:37.500 --> 01:11:39.500] Yeah. [01:11:39.500 --> 01:11:40.500] That's what I mean. [01:11:40.500 --> 01:11:43.500] Yeah, and I wouldn't care if I was a millionaire. [01:11:43.500 --> 01:11:47.500] When I know you're violating my rights and the law, I'm not giving you a penny. [01:11:47.500 --> 01:11:49.500] Not one. [01:11:49.500 --> 01:11:52.500] And if I can help it when I'm finished, [01:11:52.500 --> 01:11:56.500] I'm going to own your house, your bath float, and your kid's college fund. [01:11:56.500 --> 01:11:58.500] Not because I'm spiteful, [01:11:58.500 --> 01:12:02.500] but simply because it's time you learned what it feels like. [01:12:02.500 --> 01:12:06.500] It's time you learned what the way you treat people is like [01:12:06.500 --> 01:12:10.500] when you're an officer or a magistrate or a prosecuting attorney [01:12:10.500 --> 01:12:12.500] that will not abide by the law. [01:12:12.500 --> 01:12:14.500] The law is for everybody, [01:12:14.500 --> 01:12:18.500] not just those that aren't wearing the badges and the government employees. [01:12:18.500 --> 01:12:19.500] I don't know. [01:12:19.500 --> 01:12:23.500] Sometimes I wonder if it's supposed to be there. [01:12:23.500 --> 01:12:24.500] I agree. [01:12:24.500 --> 01:12:27.500] I would like to say you've been very patient and very kind. [01:12:27.500 --> 01:12:29.500] We appreciate it. [01:12:29.500 --> 01:12:35.500] And like I said, I am his constituent liaison person, if you will, [01:12:35.500 --> 01:12:37.500] in addition to his secretary. [01:12:37.500 --> 01:12:39.500] You knew what was happening. [01:12:39.500 --> 01:12:42.500] But he has to have somebody here. [01:12:42.500 --> 01:12:43.500] He has six staff people. [01:12:43.500 --> 01:12:47.500] He has to have somebody that listens to the constituents when they come in. [01:12:47.500 --> 01:12:49.500] And that's how he's able to say, [01:12:49.500 --> 01:12:52.500] when I take a case like this in front of him, that's how he's saying it. [01:12:52.500 --> 01:12:54.500] Well, do the constituents ever get to address him directly? [01:12:54.500 --> 01:12:55.500] Sometimes they do. [01:12:55.500 --> 01:12:56.500] Yes, sir. [01:12:56.500 --> 01:12:57.500] Yes, sir. [01:12:57.500 --> 01:13:01.500] What we try to do, most of the time I haven't had one, I'll be honest, [01:13:01.500 --> 01:13:02.500] since I've been in the mayor's office, [01:13:02.500 --> 01:13:07.500] I haven't had one as extensive or as serious as this. [01:13:07.500 --> 01:13:09.500] This would be the first one. [01:13:09.500 --> 01:13:12.500] I've been with him in the mayor's office for a little over a year. [01:13:12.500 --> 01:13:15.500] I worked for him prior to the mayor. [01:13:15.500 --> 01:13:19.500] But what happens is a lot of times constituents will bring things to me [01:13:19.500 --> 01:13:21.500] and they'll just say, I don't think this is fair. [01:13:21.500 --> 01:13:23.500] Will you check into it? [01:13:23.500 --> 01:13:27.500] That's what I do. I get the staff person over that department to say, [01:13:27.500 --> 01:13:31.500] this happened to this person, and give them their side of the story. [01:13:31.500 --> 01:13:33.500] And then the city will do their homework. [01:13:33.500 --> 01:13:36.500] And a lot of times the constituent is right, [01:13:36.500 --> 01:13:42.500] but they don't necessarily always get an answer because they don't pursue it. [01:13:42.500 --> 01:13:44.500] But the ones that take the time to pursue it, [01:13:44.500 --> 01:13:47.500] an assistant city manager has staff like the mayor, [01:13:47.500 --> 01:13:50.500] and they have people that dig and look into allegations [01:13:50.500 --> 01:13:53.500] and respond directly to citizens. [01:13:53.500 --> 01:13:56.500] Are there times when the mayor meets with citizens? [01:13:56.500 --> 01:14:03.500] Well, I just finished a treatise on how the mildew process is engineered into, [01:14:03.500 --> 01:14:05.500] intentionally engineered into, [01:14:05.500 --> 01:14:11.500] the Transportation Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure for misdemeanor offenses. [01:14:11.500 --> 01:14:14.500] It is legislatively engineered into the Code. [01:14:14.500 --> 01:14:17.500] For instance, do you know that in a criminal case, [01:14:17.500 --> 01:14:22.500] the Constitution says that you have the right to counsel in all criminal cases? [01:14:22.500 --> 01:14:26.500] It doesn't differentiate all criminal cases. [01:14:26.500 --> 01:14:32.500] Yet, 26.04 Code of Criminal Procedure says you can't have assistance of counsel [01:14:32.500 --> 01:14:36.500] appointed to you, indigent or otherwise, under any circumstances, [01:14:36.500 --> 01:14:42.500] unless you're being accused of a felony or a misdemeanor that would involve incarceration. [01:14:42.500 --> 01:14:45.500] Otherwise, no counsel for you. [01:14:45.500 --> 01:14:47.500] It doesn't matter that you don't understand the law. [01:14:47.500 --> 01:14:50.500] It doesn't matter that you aren't capable of reading the statutes [01:14:50.500 --> 01:14:52.500] and figuring out where you're getting railroaded. [01:14:52.500 --> 01:14:54.500] We're just going to deny you assistance of counsel [01:14:54.500 --> 01:14:57.500] because you're too dumb to know the difference. [01:14:57.500 --> 01:15:02.500] We can simply tell you that, well, since you can't go to jail, you're not entitled. [01:15:02.500 --> 01:15:05.500] That's not what my Constitution says. [01:15:05.500 --> 01:15:11.500] I tell you, maybe a lot more of us might want to familiarize ourselves [01:15:11.500 --> 01:15:13.500] with the law a little bit more. [01:15:13.500 --> 01:15:16.500] Right? [01:15:16.500 --> 01:15:17.500] Well, I will. [01:15:17.500 --> 01:15:20.500] But I'd be more than happy to give that treaty to the mayor [01:15:20.500 --> 01:15:21.500] and have him review that. [01:15:21.500 --> 01:15:25.500] Hasn't he had any other opportunity to meet with a council member [01:15:25.500 --> 01:15:32.500] or Assistant City Manager Michael McDonnell? [01:15:32.500 --> 01:15:34.500] He's over the police department. [01:15:34.500 --> 01:15:39.500] Michael McDonnell is directly over the police department under the charter. [01:15:39.500 --> 01:15:41.500] I think we're past our parking time. [01:15:41.500 --> 01:15:47.500] Yeah, we can set up a time next week or later and come back. [01:15:47.500 --> 01:15:50.500] I'll be happy to go ahead and give a souvenir for you. [01:15:50.500 --> 01:15:55.500] Well, thank you very much. [01:15:55.500 --> 01:15:56.500] All right, folks. [01:15:56.500 --> 01:15:57.500] That's it. [01:15:57.500 --> 01:16:01.500] Eddie going and kicking some butt in the Austin Mayor's Office today. [01:16:01.500 --> 01:16:03.500] Good job, Eddie. [01:16:03.500 --> 01:16:05.500] Well, thank you. [01:16:05.500 --> 01:16:09.500] And I have to tell you, this woman, what was her name, Eddie? [01:16:09.500 --> 01:16:15.500] Her name is the lady in the office, Janet Jackson. [01:16:15.500 --> 01:16:16.500] Janet Jackson. [01:16:16.500 --> 01:16:18.500] Kudos to Janet Jackson. [01:16:18.500 --> 01:16:20.500] She was very helpful to you guys. [01:16:20.500 --> 01:16:21.500] Yes, she was. [01:16:21.500 --> 01:16:24.500] She was very attentive and she paid attention to what we had to say. [01:16:24.500 --> 01:16:28.500] And even though she first asserted she could only give us 10 minutes, [01:16:28.500 --> 01:16:30.500] she actually spent 45 with us. [01:16:30.500 --> 01:16:34.500] So she became extremely engrossed in the issues at hand. [01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:35.500] She seemed very concerned. [01:16:35.500 --> 01:16:37.500] Yes. [01:16:37.500 --> 01:16:39.500] And on a genuine level, too. [01:16:39.500 --> 01:16:41.500] It didn't seem like she was just giving you all lip service. [01:16:41.500 --> 01:16:46.500] She was concerned about the lower income groups, you know, in Austin, [01:16:46.500 --> 01:16:47.500] how it affects them. [01:16:47.500 --> 01:16:48.500] She's a good woman. [01:16:48.500 --> 01:16:49.500] All right, folks. [01:16:49.500 --> 01:16:50.500] We've got the phone lines open now. [01:16:50.500 --> 01:17:00.500] If you want to call in 512-646-1984, we will be right back. [01:17:00.500 --> 01:17:03.500] It is so enlightening to listen to 90.1 FM, [01:17:03.500 --> 01:17:05.500] but finding things on the Internet isn't so easy, [01:17:05.500 --> 01:17:08.500] and neither is finding like-minded people to share it with. [01:17:08.500 --> 01:17:11.500] Oh, well, I guess you haven't heard of Brave New Books, then. [01:17:11.500 --> 01:17:12.500] Brave New Books? [01:17:12.500 --> 01:17:13.500] Yes. [01:17:13.500 --> 01:17:16.500] Brave New Books has all the books and DVDs you're looking for [01:17:16.500 --> 01:17:19.500] by authors like Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Angie Edward Griffin. [01:17:19.500 --> 01:17:23.500] They even stock inner food, Berkey products, and Calvin Soaps. [01:17:23.500 --> 01:17:26.500] There's no way a place like that exists. [01:17:26.500 --> 01:17:27.500] Go check it out for yourself. [01:17:27.500 --> 01:17:31.500] It's downtown at 1904 Guadalupe Street, just south of UT. [01:17:31.500 --> 01:17:35.500] Oh, by UT, there's never anywhere to park down there. [01:17:35.500 --> 01:17:37.500] Actually, they now offer a free hour of parking [01:17:37.500 --> 01:17:41.500] for paying customers at the 500 MLK parking facility [01:17:41.500 --> 01:17:43.500] just behind the bookstore. [01:17:43.500 --> 01:17:46.500] It does exist, but when are they open? [01:17:46.500 --> 01:17:51.500] Monday through Saturday, 11 AM to 9 PM, and 1 to 6 PM on Sundays. [01:17:51.500 --> 01:17:55.500] So give them a call at 512-480-2503, [01:17:55.500 --> 01:18:01.500] or check out their events page at bravenewbookstore.com.

[01:19:35.500 --> 01:19:50.500] Ain't gonna fool me with that same old trick again. [01:19:50.500 --> 01:19:55.500] Okay, folks, we are back. [01:19:55.500 --> 01:19:58.500] Yes, Ms. Janet Jackson from the Austin Mayor's Office, [01:19:58.500 --> 01:20:01.500] City of Austin Mayor's Office, quite helpful. [01:20:01.500 --> 01:20:05.500] And it was good to hear that the mayor will indeed meet in person [01:20:05.500 --> 01:20:09.500] with constituents sometimes as well, as it should be. [01:20:09.500 --> 01:20:14.500] So all you folks out there who are concerned about the fluoride in the water, [01:20:14.500 --> 01:20:17.500] I think that it's time that fluoride-free Austin, [01:20:17.500 --> 01:20:20.500] maybe we can have them on the show here in a few days. [01:20:20.500 --> 01:20:25.500] Let's get them a meeting scheduled with the City of Austin Mayor's Office as well. [01:20:25.500 --> 01:20:32.500] You know, because I'll tell you, concerning these bonds that are up for vote tomorrow in the election, [01:20:32.500 --> 01:20:36.500] Austin Municipal bonds, I'll tell you one thing right now. [01:20:36.500 --> 01:20:42.500] I am not voting for the City of Austin to borrow or spend one more dime [01:20:42.500 --> 01:20:44.500] until they take the fluoride out of the water, okay? [01:20:44.500 --> 01:20:45.500] It's ridiculous. [01:20:45.500 --> 01:20:50.500] It costs over a million dollars a year for the City of Austin to poison its constituents, [01:20:50.500 --> 01:20:56.500] and I am not voting for one more single bond package until they stop fluoridating the water. [01:20:56.500 --> 01:20:57.500] You guys want some money? [01:20:57.500 --> 01:20:59.500] Stop poisoning us. [01:20:59.500 --> 01:21:01.500] There's a million bucks for you, okay? [01:21:01.500 --> 01:21:05.500] So we need to talk to the City Mayor's Office about that one too. [01:21:05.500 --> 01:21:08.500] All right, we've got some callers on the line. [01:21:08.500 --> 01:21:11.500] We've got Patrick from Texas, the first-time caller. [01:21:11.500 --> 01:21:13.500] Patrick, thank you for calling in. [01:21:13.500 --> 01:21:16.500] What is on your mind tonight? [01:21:16.500 --> 01:21:23.500] I have a ticket in Round Rock for failure to signal, and I hired an attorney. [01:21:23.500 --> 01:21:32.500] And the attorney went in, and they're at this stage now where he did a plea on my behalf as innocent, [01:21:32.500 --> 01:21:40.500] and he first came back and said, well, we have a pretrial hearing for the end of October that came and went. [01:21:40.500 --> 01:21:44.500] And then when I had to ask them about it, they didn't even come to me and tell me that, [01:21:44.500 --> 01:21:49.500] oh, well, it's been rescheduled for some time in December. [01:21:49.500 --> 01:21:56.500] I then ran across this rule of law radio from listening to Alex, and I ordered your materials, [01:21:56.500 --> 01:22:01.500] and I'm scrambling to study it all, and I've got kind of a good idea of what's going on. [01:22:01.500 --> 01:22:07.500] But I'm hesitant to do anything, but I really want to do something where I can, you know, [01:22:07.500 --> 01:22:17.500] I was listening earlier to the conversation with the city secretary and had the idea that maybe I can go in [01:22:17.500 --> 01:22:26.500] and change the plea, or not really change the plea, but challenge the plea that the attorney did on my behalf [01:22:26.500 --> 01:22:32.500] because we were pleading to something that we shouldn't be pleading to to begin with. [01:22:32.500 --> 01:22:41.500] Does that make sense? [01:22:41.500 --> 01:22:48.500] You guys there? [01:22:48.500 --> 01:22:51.500] Eddie, are you there? [01:22:51.500 --> 01:22:52.500] Yeah, I'm here. [01:22:52.500 --> 01:22:53.500] Okay, go ahead. [01:22:53.500 --> 01:22:57.500] I said there's plenty that you can do here at this point. [01:22:57.500 --> 01:23:04.500] The thing you have to remember is that as long as you have legal counsel, you're considered incompetent. [01:23:04.500 --> 01:23:05.500] Okay? [01:23:05.500 --> 01:23:09.500] You are a ward of the court when you hire an attorney. [01:23:09.500 --> 01:23:17.500] So the first thing you need to do is to check your court record so that you can prove that your attorney [01:23:17.500 --> 01:23:23.500] is not prosecuting the due process violations in your case, and it'll be easy enough to prove. [01:23:23.500 --> 01:23:28.500] Go look at the court record, go down to the court, ask to see the file. [01:23:28.500 --> 01:23:33.500] Tell them you want to see everything that's in the physical folder and everything that's in the computer [01:23:33.500 --> 01:23:36.500] regarding this citation number. [01:23:36.500 --> 01:23:40.500] Here's the things that at an absolute minimum must be there. [01:23:40.500 --> 01:23:47.500] The citation, a signed and verified complaint, and an information. [01:23:47.500 --> 01:23:52.500] Guess what is not going to be there 99.9% of the time? [01:23:52.500 --> 01:23:56.500] The complaint and the information. [01:23:56.500 --> 01:23:57.500] Okay? [01:23:57.500 --> 01:23:59.500] Here's the problem. [01:23:59.500 --> 01:24:05.500] Without that complaint and that information, the court has no jurisdiction to do anything, [01:24:05.500 --> 01:24:11.500] including taking a plea or making one on your behalf. [01:24:11.500 --> 01:24:12.500] They just don't have it. [01:24:12.500 --> 01:24:16.500] They're acting without authority, which means you can sue them. [01:24:16.500 --> 01:24:18.500] Okay? [01:24:18.500 --> 01:24:24.500] The other problem is the complaint is not a valid charging instrument. [01:24:24.500 --> 01:24:32.500] It does not convey any authority to the court whatsoever except to issue a warrant of arrest [01:24:32.500 --> 01:24:36.500] to hold a hearing for probable cause. [01:24:36.500 --> 01:24:39.500] They haven't done that. [01:24:39.500 --> 01:24:49.500] The complaint, in order for the court to gain jurisdiction to hear the case, must be accompanied by an information, [01:24:49.500 --> 01:24:53.500] and it must be signed by the county or district attorney. [01:24:53.500 --> 01:24:55.500] The law is very clear. [01:24:55.500 --> 01:25:00.500] A city attorney cannot sign an information, [01:25:00.500 --> 01:25:07.500] which is exactly the reason why a city attorney cannot prosecute a traffic case. [01:25:07.500 --> 01:25:15.500] The information is required, and the law does not convey authority to a city attorney to act as an attorney for the state. [01:25:15.500 --> 01:25:18.500] Period. [01:25:18.500 --> 01:25:20.500] You go look in your folder. [01:25:20.500 --> 01:25:22.500] All those things are missing. [01:25:22.500 --> 01:25:29.500] Then you go file a bar complaint against your attorney for every single one of those things that isn't there. [01:25:29.500 --> 01:25:31.500] There is no complaint. [01:25:31.500 --> 01:25:32.500] You're getting a bar complaint. [01:25:32.500 --> 01:25:34.500] There is no information. [01:25:34.500 --> 01:25:36.500] You're getting another bar complaint. [01:25:36.500 --> 01:25:38.500] The court lacks jurisdiction. [01:25:38.500 --> 01:25:39.500] You're an idiot. [01:25:39.500 --> 01:25:43.500] You get another bar complaint. [01:25:43.500 --> 01:25:51.500] The court entered a plea on my behalf against my will, or you did, absent a valid complaint and charging instrument. [01:25:51.500 --> 01:25:53.500] Again, you're an idiot. [01:25:53.500 --> 01:25:56.500] That's another bar complaint. [01:25:56.500 --> 01:25:57.500] Okay. [01:25:57.500 --> 01:26:03.500] Make him regret the day he ever laid eyes on you. [01:26:03.500 --> 01:26:14.500] Because he's acting as the part of the court, I'm challenging the court in that way by going after him with a bar grievance for each of those. [01:26:14.500 --> 01:26:22.500] You're making your attorney do his job that you paid him good money to do and he's not doing. [01:26:22.500 --> 01:26:27.500] Here's the first thing to remember when you hire an attorney for this type of case. [01:26:27.500 --> 01:26:34.500] You just put a noose around your own neck and you're just waiting for the opportune time to jump off the building. [01:26:34.500 --> 01:26:41.500] And your attorney is going to be the one that either A, tells you when to jump, or B, pushes you. [01:26:41.500 --> 01:26:44.500] I was going to say he's going to be the one that pushes you. [01:26:44.500 --> 01:26:45.500] Okay. [01:26:45.500 --> 01:26:54.500] So he's either going to get you to hang yourself, or if you won't do that, then he's going to push you. [01:26:54.500 --> 01:26:57.500] You need to be controlling your attorney. [01:26:57.500 --> 01:27:00.500] This is how you're going to do it. [01:27:00.500 --> 01:27:05.500] Yeah, and if you don't have jurisdictionary yet, Patrick, you may want to get jurisdictionary. [01:27:05.500 --> 01:27:07.500] That'll teach you how to control your attorney as well. [01:27:07.500 --> 01:27:08.500] Yeah. [01:27:08.500 --> 01:27:12.500] The other thing is when did you get the seminar material? [01:27:12.500 --> 01:27:15.500] I just got the password on Friday. [01:27:15.500 --> 01:27:16.500] Okay. [01:27:16.500 --> 01:27:22.500] So you should have, there is one current updated motion you need to file immediately. [01:27:22.500 --> 01:27:25.500] That's the one we filed today in this young lady's case. [01:27:25.500 --> 01:27:32.500] So if you will send me an email at eddie at ruleoflawradio.com, I will email that to you. [01:27:32.500 --> 01:27:36.500] Is this the motion that Randy is currently looking over right now, Randy and I? [01:27:36.500 --> 01:27:37.500] Yes. [01:27:37.500 --> 01:27:38.500] I went ahead and did it without him. [01:27:38.500 --> 01:27:39.500] Okay. [01:27:39.500 --> 01:27:43.500] Well, I talked to him a little while ago and I told him he needs to get on that. [01:27:43.500 --> 01:27:47.500] I'm reviewing it as well and he said he's going to finish reading it in the morning. [01:27:47.500 --> 01:27:50.500] Randy and I will finish going over this hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow [01:27:50.500 --> 01:27:58.500] so that we can get that, any necessary changes done and get that sent out to the entire traffic seminar group. [01:27:58.500 --> 01:27:59.500] Yeah. [01:27:59.500 --> 01:28:02.500] But that one's going to be the one you want to file immediately. [01:28:02.500 --> 01:28:13.500] And you want to make sure to give a copy of it to your attorney and ask him why didn't you adjudicate any of this? [01:28:13.500 --> 01:28:19.500] Now in the traffic seminar material there's also a motion challenging the authority of the prosecuting attorney. [01:28:19.500 --> 01:28:23.500] It's prosecutor, it's petition for prosecutor to show authority. [01:28:23.500 --> 01:28:24.500] Okay? [01:28:24.500 --> 01:28:33.500] Texas law is very, very clear in the fact that a city attorney cannot and does not have the authority to act as an attorney for the state. [01:28:33.500 --> 01:28:38.500] The legislature has created a catch-22 for the municipal court. [01:28:38.500 --> 01:28:45.500] In Chapter 45, Code of Criminal Procedure, they specifically spelled out that in all prosecutions the criminal, [01:28:45.500 --> 01:28:49.500] the city attorney shall prosecute in the municipal court. [01:28:49.500 --> 01:28:55.500] However, it did not say in all criminal prosecutions. [01:28:55.500 --> 01:29:03.500] It simply says the city attorney shall be there for all prosecutions in the municipal court. [01:29:03.500 --> 01:29:05.500] Well, here's the problem. [01:29:05.500 --> 01:29:10.500] The city attorney cannot sign the information which is mandatory. [01:29:10.500 --> 01:29:14.500] So he can't prosecute any criminal act that requires an information. [01:29:14.500 --> 01:29:16.500] Guess what? [01:29:16.500 --> 01:29:22.500] Traffic citation, misdemeanor case, 2.05 Code of Criminal Procedure, [01:29:22.500 --> 01:29:26.500] in a county having one or more criminal district courts, [01:29:26.500 --> 01:29:31.500] an information must be filed in all misdemeanor cases. [01:29:31.500 --> 01:29:34.500] End of story. [01:29:34.500 --> 01:29:40.500] Your attorney is selling you down the river and you don't even know it yet. [01:29:40.500 --> 01:29:43.500] And he's sucking money out of your pocket while he's doing it. [01:29:43.500 --> 01:29:45.500] Okay, Patrick, do you need to stay on the line? [01:29:45.500 --> 01:29:48.500] Do you have anything else to tell Patrick, Eddie? [01:29:48.500 --> 01:29:49.500] No, that'll do it. [01:29:49.500 --> 01:29:51.500] Okay, Patrick. [01:29:51.500 --> 01:29:52.500] Thank you, guys. [01:29:52.500 --> 01:29:53.500] Thank you. [01:29:53.500 --> 01:29:54.500] We'll be right back, folks. [01:29:54.500 --> 01:29:55.500] We'll be taking more of your calls. [01:29:55.500 --> 01:29:57.500] We've got Roy and Anthony. [01:29:57.500 --> 01:29:58.500] Diane dropped off the line. [01:29:58.500 --> 01:29:59.500] Call back if you like. [01:29:59.500 --> 01:30:03.500] Top ten reasons to question the official story of the Oklahoma City bombing. [01:30:03.500 --> 01:30:05.500] Number nine, the extra leg. [01:30:05.500 --> 01:30:08.500] Former Oklahoma State medical examiner, Dr. Fred Jordan, had stated, [01:30:08.500 --> 01:30:12.500] we had eight people with amputated left legs and nine left legs to account for. [01:30:12.500 --> 01:30:15.500] Chief pathologist for Northern Ireland, T.K. Marshall, [01:30:15.500 --> 01:30:18.500] who performed over 2,500 autopsies in his time, stated, [01:30:18.500 --> 01:30:20.500] there has never been an unknown victim. [01:30:20.500 --> 01:30:22.500] This leg belonged to a perpetrator close enough to the bomb [01:30:22.500 --> 01:30:26.500] for his body to be damaged, leaving only a left leg behind. [01:30:26.500 --> 01:30:27.500] Who was this person? [01:30:27.500 --> 01:30:34.500] Please go to okcbombingtruth.com.

[01:30:39.500 --> 01:30:44.500] How the voice print and a growing number of corporations and governments are capturing them. [01:30:44.500 --> 01:30:47.500] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll be right back with details. [01:30:47.500 --> 01:30:49.500] Privacy is under attack. [01:30:49.500 --> 01:30:53.500] When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again. [01:30:53.500 --> 01:30:57.500] And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish too. [01:30:57.500 --> 01:30:59.500] So protect your rights. [01:30:59.500 --> 01:31:03.500] Say no to surveillance and keep your information to yourself. [01:31:03.500 --> 01:31:05.500] Privacy, it's worth hanging on to.

[01:31:28.500 --> 01:31:30.500] The Pentagon is on board too, [01:31:30.500 --> 01:31:34.500] and U.S. and British eavesdropping programs have amassed a mountain of data. [01:31:34.500 --> 01:31:37.500] Voice biometrics would let officials sift through that data [01:31:37.500 --> 01:31:41.500] to hone in on a particular person's voice, like a needle in a haystack. [01:31:41.500 --> 01:31:45.500] If that makes you nervous, watch out the next time you call a customer service line. [01:31:45.500 --> 01:31:49.500] Many corporations have started using voice print technology to authenticate customers [01:31:49.500 --> 01:31:53.500] and match their voices with their identities in the database.

[01:32:18.500 --> 01:32:20.500] This is the rule of law. [01:32:20.500 --> 01:32:24.500] We're taking your calls. We've got Roy in Texas now. [01:32:24.500 --> 01:32:27.500] Roy, thanks for calling in. What is on your mind tonight? [01:32:27.500 --> 01:32:31.500] Yeah, I called a couple of times. I'm the guy that's got the warrants in Austin, [01:32:31.500 --> 01:32:37.500] and I called down to try to get a copy of the court records so I could fight this thing, [01:32:37.500 --> 01:32:41.500] and I was told that, no, you have to come here. You have to come to Austin. [01:32:41.500 --> 01:32:45.500] And then I asked the lady, I said, well, what if I just decide to pay him off? [01:32:45.500 --> 01:32:48.500] She goes, you can't pay him off over the phone. You have to come here. [01:32:48.500 --> 01:32:51.500] So what is my next move? [01:32:51.500 --> 01:32:56.500] What they want to do is to throw you in jail so you can pay them even more money. [01:32:56.500 --> 01:32:58.500] Right. I know. I realize that. [01:32:58.500 --> 01:33:06.500] Okay. And not allowing you to pay it off without showing up, [01:33:06.500 --> 01:33:09.500] that's the first I would have ever heard of that. [01:33:09.500 --> 01:33:12.500] They're usually more than happy to get your money. [01:33:12.500 --> 01:33:13.500] Right. [01:33:13.500 --> 01:33:18.500] So they want you here for a different reason. [01:33:18.500 --> 01:33:22.500] As far as what you can do about it, without quashing the warrant, [01:33:22.500 --> 01:33:28.500] which I'm sure exists, there's not going to be much to do other than show up and do that. [01:33:28.500 --> 01:33:32.500] But what you can do, do you have the seminar material? [01:33:32.500 --> 01:33:38.500] Yeah, I've got the house stuff and I've also got the jurisdiction. [01:33:38.500 --> 01:33:43.500] Okay. If you'll send me an email, I will send you the updated first blush motion. [01:33:43.500 --> 01:33:45.500] You need to file that immediately. [01:33:45.500 --> 01:33:46.500] Okay. [01:33:46.500 --> 01:33:49.500] With any luck, this motion will make it clear. [01:33:49.500 --> 01:33:52.500] Now, I'm assuming the warrants are for failure to appear? [01:33:52.500 --> 01:33:53.500] Yes. [01:33:53.500 --> 01:34:01.500] Okay. If this motion works as the law shows that it should, you should be able to quash that. [01:34:01.500 --> 01:34:04.500] Okay. [01:34:04.500 --> 01:34:10.500] It really just depends on how much, you know, effort you put into it [01:34:10.500 --> 01:34:12.500] and how much you stick to your guns. [01:34:12.500 --> 01:34:13.500] Okay. [01:34:13.500 --> 01:34:15.500] But you can fax it in or mail it in. [01:34:15.500 --> 01:34:18.500] I would send it certified mail return receipt requested myself. [01:34:18.500 --> 01:34:21.500] Right, yeah, I realize that. [01:34:21.500 --> 01:34:22.500] Okay. [01:34:22.500 --> 01:34:25.500] Well, I will send you an email if you send me the information [01:34:25.500 --> 01:34:27.500] because I'm not laying down on this. [01:34:27.500 --> 01:34:29.500] I'm fighting tooth and nail. [01:34:29.500 --> 01:34:30.500] I don't care about that. [01:34:30.500 --> 01:34:31.500] I'm disabled. [01:34:31.500 --> 01:34:34.500] I broke my back a couple years ago. I got nothing else to do. [01:34:34.500 --> 01:34:36.500] Okay. [01:34:36.500 --> 01:34:37.500] All right, thanks. [01:34:37.500 --> 01:34:38.500] All right, thanks, Roy. [01:34:38.500 --> 01:34:39.500] Yes, sir. [01:34:39.500 --> 01:34:41.500] Okay, we're going now to Anthony in Texas. [01:34:41.500 --> 01:34:43.500] Anthony, thanks for calling in. [01:34:43.500 --> 01:34:45.500] What's on your mind tonight? [01:34:45.500 --> 01:34:48.500] Well, I had that meeting with that court-appointed attorney [01:34:48.500 --> 01:34:49.500] I was talking about Friday night. [01:34:49.500 --> 01:34:51.500] Right. [01:34:51.500 --> 01:34:55.500] And he told me pretty much that due process does not pertain to me at all [01:34:55.500 --> 01:34:58.500] because I'm a juvenile or I'm not a juvenile [01:34:58.500 --> 01:35:01.500] and that I had a bond hearing and I already paid the bond, [01:35:01.500 --> 01:35:04.500] so it doesn't matter about the examining trial. [01:35:04.500 --> 01:35:07.500] Yeah, that's a typical lie. [01:35:07.500 --> 01:35:08.500] We hear that all the time. [01:35:08.500 --> 01:35:11.500] That's not true. [01:35:11.500 --> 01:35:13.500] What am I supposed to do? [01:35:13.500 --> 01:35:14.500] Now, wait a minute. [01:35:14.500 --> 01:35:16.500] You are a minor or you're not a minor? [01:35:16.500 --> 01:35:17.500] I'm not. I'm not. [01:35:17.500 --> 01:35:20.500] I'm not a minor. [01:35:20.500 --> 01:35:23.500] So minors don't get due process in Texas [01:35:23.500 --> 01:35:26.500] is what this guy is trying to tell you? [01:35:26.500 --> 01:35:27.500] No, I don't know. [01:35:27.500 --> 01:35:28.500] It just doesn't pertain to me. [01:35:28.500 --> 01:35:31.500] I don't know what he's trying to say. [01:35:31.500 --> 01:35:33.500] Are they charging you as an adult? [01:35:33.500 --> 01:35:34.500] Yes. [01:35:34.500 --> 01:35:36.500] Well, then you get due process. [01:35:36.500 --> 01:35:37.500] Yeah, that's what I was trying to tell him, [01:35:37.500 --> 01:35:40.500] but he's like, no, it doesn't pertain to you in this situation. [01:35:40.500 --> 01:35:44.500] Eddie, do you have any comments about this? [01:35:44.500 --> 01:35:50.500] Just the usual what an idiot bunch of stuff, but okay. [01:35:50.500 --> 01:35:53.500] This is the garage door thing, right? [01:35:53.500 --> 01:35:55.500] No. [01:35:55.500 --> 01:35:57.500] Which case is yours? [01:35:57.500 --> 01:35:58.500] Which one are we discussing here? [01:35:58.500 --> 01:36:00.500] Me and my friend got arrested one night, [01:36:00.500 --> 01:36:03.500] and then they did the same thing they did last night. [01:36:03.500 --> 01:36:04.500] Wait, wait, wait. [01:36:04.500 --> 01:36:08.500] This is when y'all were in the car in the parking lot of an apartment complex, right? [01:36:08.500 --> 01:36:09.500] Yes. [01:36:09.500 --> 01:36:10.500] Oh, okay. [01:36:10.500 --> 01:36:11.500] All right. [01:36:11.500 --> 01:36:12.500] All right. [01:36:12.500 --> 01:36:15.500] So what exactly are they charging you with [01:36:15.500 --> 01:36:17.500] and what did the attorney tell you? [01:36:17.500 --> 01:36:21.500] Possession, and he's saying that the examining child, [01:36:21.500 --> 01:36:26.500] it doesn't matter about that because I already paid my bond. [01:36:26.500 --> 01:36:27.500] Okay. [01:36:27.500 --> 01:36:28.500] So it doesn't pertain anymore. [01:36:28.500 --> 01:36:29.500] It doesn't pertain. [01:36:29.500 --> 01:36:31.500] That's baloney. [01:36:31.500 --> 01:36:32.500] I'm trying to tell him. [01:36:32.500 --> 01:36:37.500] The examining trial, you lose the examining trial after an indictment. [01:36:37.500 --> 01:36:40.500] Are they charging you with a misdemeanor or a felony? [01:36:40.500 --> 01:36:42.500] Misdemeanor. [01:36:42.500 --> 01:36:45.500] Okay. [01:36:45.500 --> 01:36:51.500] Anything in the offense say that you can be incarcerated? [01:36:51.500 --> 01:36:54.500] Is it a Class A or Class B? [01:36:54.500 --> 01:36:58.500] I think it's the one that's not as bad. [01:36:58.500 --> 01:37:00.500] Class, I don't know what class that is. [01:37:00.500 --> 01:37:02.500] Well, you got A, B, and C. [01:37:02.500 --> 01:37:03.500] Yeah, A is the worst. [01:37:03.500 --> 01:37:04.500] C is fine only. [01:37:04.500 --> 01:37:07.500] A or B can have jail time associated with them. [01:37:07.500 --> 01:37:08.500] It's a B. [01:37:08.500 --> 01:37:12.500] So you can go to jail. [01:37:12.500 --> 01:37:19.500] Okay, so 26.04, Code of Criminal Procedure specifically applies to you. [01:37:19.500 --> 01:37:25.500] So your attorney, two things you need to tell him. [01:37:25.500 --> 01:37:29.500] You're getting a bar grievance filed against you on these grounds. [01:37:29.500 --> 01:37:33.500] You are not adjudicating my due process rights. [01:37:33.500 --> 01:37:40.500] 26.04 says I get an examining trial unless there is already an indictment handed down. [01:37:40.500 --> 01:37:42.500] Is there an indictment? [01:37:42.500 --> 01:37:43.500] No. [01:37:43.500 --> 01:37:49.500] Okay, then you're entitled to an examining trial. [01:37:49.500 --> 01:37:55.500] You tell him that he better fight for your right to the examining trial under the specific statute that Eddie is citing right now, [01:37:55.500 --> 01:37:57.500] or else he's going to get a bar grievance slapped on his butt. [01:37:57.500 --> 01:37:58.500] No, no, no. [01:37:58.500 --> 01:38:02.500] You file one on him immediately and you give him a copy of it. [01:38:02.500 --> 01:38:09.500] And then you tell him you will go fight this properly or I'm going to file another one. [01:38:09.500 --> 01:38:11.500] Yeah, that's even better. [01:38:11.500 --> 01:38:13.500] Okay. [01:38:13.500 --> 01:38:23.500] You will adjudicate every single violation of my due process rights or I will file a bar grievance against you for every single one. [01:38:23.500 --> 01:38:29.500] He's going to, as Randy says, he's going to go beg the judge to let him off the hook. [01:38:29.500 --> 01:38:30.500] Absolutely. [01:38:30.500 --> 01:38:31.500] He already did. [01:38:31.500 --> 01:38:35.500] Okay, then you tell the judge, no, this is my attorney. [01:38:35.500 --> 01:38:37.500] You're not going to interfere in that. [01:38:37.500 --> 01:38:41.500] No, he just said you need to go hire you another one. [01:38:41.500 --> 01:38:43.500] Who said that? [01:38:43.500 --> 01:38:44.500] The judge. [01:38:44.500 --> 01:38:47.500] Did the judge let the court-appointed attorney off the case? [01:38:47.500 --> 01:38:48.500] No, not yet. [01:38:48.500 --> 01:38:51.500] As of right now, the attorney was saying that he... [01:38:51.500 --> 01:38:52.500] You object, Anthony. [01:38:52.500 --> 01:38:56.500] You object and you tell him this is my attorney. [01:38:56.500 --> 01:38:57.500] He is court-appointed. [01:38:57.500 --> 01:39:03.500] I do not relieve him of his duties and responsibility to adjudicate my rights. [01:39:03.500 --> 01:39:08.500] This is a private contract at this point, judge, and you have no right to interfere in it. [01:39:08.500 --> 01:39:14.500] Tell the judge that it's tortious interference of a contract if he dismisses the attorney off the case. [01:39:14.500 --> 01:39:16.500] Okay, okay. [01:39:16.500 --> 01:39:22.500] And that will make him my attorney and then probably make him adjudicate my rights? [01:39:22.500 --> 01:39:23.500] Well, maybe. [01:39:23.500 --> 01:39:25.500] The judge may let him off the case anyway. [01:39:25.500 --> 01:39:27.500] We never know. [01:39:27.500 --> 01:39:31.500] But if he does, they can't make you hire an attorney. [01:39:31.500 --> 01:39:34.500] The court would have to appoint you another one at that point. [01:39:34.500 --> 01:39:35.500] Okay, so I would say that. [01:39:35.500 --> 01:39:37.500] Disappoint me another one then. [01:39:37.500 --> 01:39:39.500] No, don't say appoint me another one. [01:39:39.500 --> 01:39:40.500] Say you tell the judge... [01:39:40.500 --> 01:39:41.500] You want to keep the one you have. [01:39:41.500 --> 01:39:43.500] You want to keep the one you have. [01:39:43.500 --> 01:39:48.500] You object to the judge if he tries to dismiss the attorney off the case. [01:39:48.500 --> 01:39:50.500] Say I object, Your Honor. [01:39:50.500 --> 01:39:51.500] This is a private contract. [01:39:51.500 --> 01:39:53.500] This is my court-appointed attorney. [01:39:53.500 --> 01:39:55.500] I am not relieving him of his duty. [01:39:55.500 --> 01:39:57.500] I object. [01:39:57.500 --> 01:39:59.500] Well, what if he just says, no, it doesn't matter. [01:39:59.500 --> 01:40:02.500] He's not your attorney no more? [01:40:02.500 --> 01:40:03.500] Well, if the judge... [01:40:03.500 --> 01:40:06.500] You file a complaint against the judge. [01:40:06.500 --> 01:40:07.500] Okay, okay. [01:40:07.500 --> 01:40:15.500] And file another one against the attorney for seeking to leave as your counsel just because you were going to hold him to adjudicating your rights. [01:40:15.500 --> 01:40:18.500] Okay. [01:40:18.500 --> 01:40:26.500] And then at another point, you may need to file a petition to have court-appointed attorney appointed to you again. [01:40:26.500 --> 01:40:28.500] But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. [01:40:28.500 --> 01:40:33.500] Right now, don't let you object and do everything you can not to let this attorney go. [01:40:33.500 --> 01:40:34.500] All right. [01:40:34.500 --> 01:40:36.500] You've got to hold his feet to the fire. [01:40:36.500 --> 01:40:37.500] All right. [01:40:36.500 --> 01:40:37.500] Sounds good. [01:40:37.500 --> 01:40:45.500] And I was wondering if Randy got my e-mail because I was asking for those different bar grievances I could file against him and about... [01:40:45.500 --> 01:40:49.500] He never sent you the set of motions he was supposed to? [01:40:49.500 --> 01:40:50.500] No, ma'am. [01:40:50.500 --> 01:40:51.500] No, ma'am. [01:40:51.500 --> 01:40:52.500] Okay, yeah. [01:40:52.500 --> 01:40:55.500] Well, he's got him up on jurisprudence. [01:40:55.500 --> 01:40:58.500] I'll see if I can find them for you. [01:40:58.500 --> 01:40:59.500] Send me an e-mail. [01:40:59.500 --> 01:41:00.500] All righty. [01:41:00.500 --> 01:41:02.500] Randy's super, super busy right now. [01:41:02.500 --> 01:41:04.500] He can hardly get to his e-mail. [01:41:04.500 --> 01:41:05.500] Sorry about that. [01:41:05.500 --> 01:41:06.500] No, it's fine. [01:41:06.500 --> 01:41:07.500] That's fine. [01:41:07.500 --> 01:41:08.500] All right. [01:41:08.500 --> 01:41:09.500] Thanks, guys. [01:41:08.500 --> 01:41:09.500] Okay. [01:41:08.500 --> 01:41:09.500] Thanks, Anthony. [01:41:09.500 --> 01:41:10.500] Bye. [01:41:09.500 --> 01:41:10.500] All right. [01:41:10.500 --> 01:41:11.500] Bye-bye. [01:41:10.500 --> 01:41:11.500] All right. [01:41:11.500 --> 01:41:12.500] We're taking your calls. [01:41:12.500 --> 01:41:15.500] We've got two minutes left in this segment, and then we're going to our final segment. [01:41:15.500 --> 01:41:19.500] We've got open phone lines, 512-646-1984. [01:41:19.500 --> 01:41:23.500] We had a first-time call with Diane calling a minute ago, about 10 minutes ago. [01:41:23.500 --> 01:41:24.500] She dropped off. [01:41:24.500 --> 01:41:26.500] Diane, if you'd like to call back in, we'll put you to the top of the list. [01:41:26.500 --> 01:41:29.500] In the meantime, we've got Doug from Wisconsin. [01:41:29.500 --> 01:41:30.500] Doug, thank you for calling in. [01:41:30.500 --> 01:41:32.500] What's on your mind tonight? [01:41:32.500 --> 01:41:33.500] Hi. [01:41:33.500 --> 01:41:42.500] I e-mailed Eddie a couple weeks ago regarding my auto insurance getting raised based on a credit check. [01:41:42.500 --> 01:41:44.500] Yeah, I'm still checking into that, Doug. [01:41:44.500 --> 01:41:51.500] I still have not found unless there's something specific in your state that allows them to do that. [01:41:51.500 --> 01:41:57.500] I don't know how they can be using a credit report to increase your insurance rates. [01:41:57.500 --> 01:42:01.500] You're going to specifically need to – where are you? [01:42:01.500 --> 01:42:02.500] Wisconsin. [01:42:02.500 --> 01:42:09.500] Yeah, you're going to need to check the Wisconsin statutes and see what authority was given to them to do that [01:42:09.500 --> 01:42:17.500] because a credit report has nothing to do with your ability to have auto insurance. [01:42:17.500 --> 01:42:24.500] Unless the legislature specifically gave them some authority that nobody's been made aware of to do it that way, [01:42:24.500 --> 01:42:28.500] something's up here, and it's not kosher. [01:42:28.500 --> 01:42:40.500] Yeah, you had asked me to find the company policy and also ask if there's some law that they were basing this decision on. [01:42:40.500 --> 01:42:43.500] Everybody I talked to said there wasn't. [01:42:43.500 --> 01:42:50.500] They just changed their policy and they're one of the few – they were one of the few left that didn't have the policy of – [01:42:50.500 --> 01:42:54.500] apparently everybody is – all the insurance companies are doing this. [01:42:54.500 --> 01:43:00.500] The problem is the auto insurance company can't do it without authorization in law. [01:43:00.500 --> 01:43:07.500] If that authorization doesn't exist, neither does their authority to do it. [01:43:07.500 --> 01:43:08.500] Okay. [01:43:08.500 --> 01:43:14.500] The insurance companies can only do what the state allows them to do. [01:43:14.500 --> 01:43:17.500] So somewhere there has to be a law that gives them that ability. [01:43:17.500 --> 01:43:22.500] If there isn't one and they're doing it, I would go straight to my state representative [01:43:22.500 --> 01:43:27.500] and start raising cane real fast, real loud, real quick. [01:43:27.500 --> 01:43:31.500] So you would start searching this by looking where? [01:43:31.500 --> 01:43:33.500] It must be something pretty recent, right? [01:43:33.500 --> 01:43:38.500] I would start with the insurance code, whatever that is in your state. [01:43:38.500 --> 01:43:40.500] Okay. [01:43:40.500 --> 01:43:43.500] Yeah, I'm sure you were real busy. I didn't want to keep testing you. [01:43:43.500 --> 01:43:45.500] Yeah, I apologize for not getting back to you. [01:43:45.500 --> 01:43:51.500] I've been trying to prepare for this legislative meeting so we can get this stuff fixed here in Texas. [01:43:51.500 --> 01:43:53.500] Okay, listen, is that all Doug? We're going to break. [01:43:53.500 --> 01:43:54.500] Yeah, that's fine. [01:43:54.500 --> 01:44:04.500] Okay, thanks folks. We'll be right back after these short messages.

Oh, man, I'm broke, man. [01:46:22.500 --> 01:46:44.500] Okay, folks, we are back. Final segment, Monday night, traffic night, [01:46:44.500 --> 01:46:48.500] Eddie's night, rule of law radio, ruleoflawradio.com. [01:46:48.500 --> 01:46:51.500] Of course, we'll talk about other issues as well. [01:46:51.500 --> 01:46:53.500] We've got Mark from Wisconsin calling in. [01:46:53.500 --> 01:46:56.500] Hey, Mark, thanks for calling in. What's on your mind? [01:46:56.500 --> 01:47:00.500] Hi. I was just going to say, Doug in Wisconsin, you should look up, [01:47:00.500 --> 01:47:03.500] I think it's the Wisconsin Insurance Commission. [01:47:03.500 --> 01:47:08.500] They just passed a whole slew of legislation, I believe, last year. [01:47:08.500 --> 01:47:15.500] Anyway, it was recent that the insurance companies can do pretty much anything they want [01:47:15.500 --> 01:47:17.500] as long as they give you notice. [01:47:17.500 --> 01:47:22.500] And if you look under the FDCPA, insurance companies can pull your credit report [01:47:22.500 --> 01:47:27.500] any time they want if you're doing business with them. [01:47:27.500 --> 01:47:31.500] So I've looked into it, too, because they raised my rates for, you know, [01:47:31.500 --> 01:47:34.500] no particular reason just because they felt like it. [01:47:34.500 --> 01:47:38.500] And everything I ran into says they can do it. [01:47:38.500 --> 01:47:42.500] So it sounds like it's time for you folks in Wisconsin to be stomping on your [01:47:42.500 --> 01:47:46.500] representatives asking why they're selling you out to the insurance companies. [01:47:46.500 --> 01:47:48.500] Yeah, no kidding. [01:47:48.500 --> 01:47:51.500] It's incredible what's going on here in Wisconsin, Addie. [01:47:51.500 --> 01:47:56.500] I mean, 99 percent of the population are walking retards. [01:47:56.500 --> 01:47:58.500] They have no idea what's going on in this country. [01:47:58.500 --> 01:48:02.500] I mean, they don't even know that if it weren't for food stamps, [01:48:02.500 --> 01:48:05.500] you'd see soup lines all around the country. [01:48:05.500 --> 01:48:10.500] They have no idea. They're living in la-la land. [01:48:10.500 --> 01:48:13.500] And then, you know, Addie, I've been going through the statutes, [01:48:13.500 --> 01:48:15.500] and you should see the statutes in Wisconsin. [01:48:15.500 --> 01:48:19.500] There is nothing constitutional about the statutes in this state. [01:48:19.500 --> 01:48:23.500] Oh, I'm sure. [01:48:23.500 --> 01:48:25.500] I mean, I haven't dug into it like you have, [01:48:25.500 --> 01:48:30.500] but on its face it's unconstitutional. [01:48:30.500 --> 01:48:31.500] You know what I mean? [01:48:31.500 --> 01:48:32.500] Yeah. [01:48:32.500 --> 01:48:34.500] I don't even think they have to have a complainer information [01:48:34.500 --> 01:48:37.500] for traffic offenses either. [01:48:37.500 --> 01:48:40.500] I think all they have to have is a citation. [01:48:40.500 --> 01:48:45.500] This is in Wisconsin you're talking about? [01:48:45.500 --> 01:48:46.500] Yeah. [01:48:46.500 --> 01:48:50.500] And I've been going over that case with, you know, the Wisconsin Five, [01:48:50.500 --> 01:48:55.500] and it appears as though they've taken a state statute [01:48:55.500 --> 01:49:00.500] and turned it into a city ordinance to create revenue for the city, [01:49:00.500 --> 01:49:07.500] because the statute, the municipal code is exactly the same as the statute. [01:49:07.500 --> 01:49:09.500] And that's the way it should be. [01:49:09.500 --> 01:49:13.500] The municipal code must be based on a statute, anything, [01:49:13.500 --> 01:49:15.500] and it should be identical, [01:49:15.500 --> 01:49:20.500] because the municipality is not allowed to add or subtract from the law itself. [01:49:20.500 --> 01:49:22.500] The difference is the municipality, [01:49:22.500 --> 01:49:25.500] if you have an enacting clause in your Constitution, [01:49:25.500 --> 01:49:30.500] I don't see how the municipality can charge you under an ordinance. [01:49:30.500 --> 01:49:34.500] They have to charge you under the state law, not the ordinance. [01:49:34.500 --> 01:49:36.500] That's what I'm saying. [01:49:36.500 --> 01:49:37.500] I read an appellate case. [01:49:37.500 --> 01:49:40.500] The appellate court says that there is an enacting clause. [01:49:40.500 --> 01:49:41.500] I haven't found it yet. [01:49:41.500 --> 01:49:43.500] I was going to look that up tomorrow. [01:49:43.500 --> 01:49:46.500] But how can it be that when you're in Madison [01:49:46.500 --> 01:49:49.500] and you get disorderly conduct, there's an ordinance violation, [01:49:49.500 --> 01:49:51.500] but if you're in the next town over, [01:49:51.500 --> 01:49:55.500] it's a misdemeanor under the state court system? [01:49:55.500 --> 01:50:00.500] Well, a municipality is not required to create an ordinance, [01:50:00.500 --> 01:50:06.500] but the problem is they have created an ordinance that is distinct from state law. [01:50:06.500 --> 01:50:10.500] And if your state Constitution has an enacting clause in it, [01:50:10.500 --> 01:50:13.500] not the statute itself, but your Constitution, [01:50:13.500 --> 01:50:16.500] for instance, here in Texas, ours says, [01:50:16.500 --> 01:50:20.500] all laws shall have the following enacting clause, [01:50:20.500 --> 01:50:23.500] be it enacted by the legislature of the state of Texas. [01:50:23.500 --> 01:50:28.500] If there's something like that in the Constitution of Wisconsin, [01:50:28.500 --> 01:50:34.500] then any law that's passed by anyone other than your legislature is not a law. [01:50:34.500 --> 01:50:39.500] It's a rule, and it's not binding upon the public as a law. [01:50:39.500 --> 01:50:42.500] It can only bind those that are subject to the rule, [01:50:42.500 --> 01:50:47.500] which would be a city employee or someone contracted with the city. [01:50:47.500 --> 01:50:52.500] That's why they can only charge the people under the statute, [01:50:52.500 --> 01:50:54.500] not under the ordinance. [01:50:54.500 --> 01:51:00.500] They can only charge their employees and their contractors under the ordinance. [01:51:00.500 --> 01:51:06.500] I saw a guy who challenged being called a person under the code, [01:51:06.500 --> 01:51:10.500] and the appellate court just rolled over him on that, [01:51:10.500 --> 01:51:12.500] and they didn't even cite any cases. [01:51:12.500 --> 01:51:15.500] That's right, and that's the way they're going to do it [01:51:15.500 --> 01:51:18.500] until you beat them up so bad they can't stand it. [01:51:18.500 --> 01:51:25.500] The appellate courts here are the same way when you go from the JP or the municipal into the county. [01:51:25.500 --> 01:51:28.500] The county is also just an inept judge, [01:51:28.500 --> 01:51:37.500] but the further up the chain you go, the more knowledgeable they become, [01:51:37.500 --> 01:51:40.500] not more likely to obey the law, you understand, [01:51:40.500 --> 01:51:43.500] but they definitely understand and apply the argument better, [01:51:43.500 --> 01:51:47.500] as long as you make the correct one. [01:51:47.500 --> 01:51:48.500] Right, right. [01:51:48.500 --> 01:51:53.500] I just couldn't believe an appellate court judge talked about the issue, [01:51:53.500 --> 01:51:58.500] answered on the issue, and then didn't cite any case law. [01:51:58.500 --> 01:52:03.500] He just said that we find that you're a person. [01:52:03.500 --> 01:52:07.500] Well, then that's when you file the findings of facts and conclusions of law on the case [01:52:07.500 --> 01:52:11.500] and make them show how they came to that conclusion. [01:52:11.500 --> 01:52:13.500] That's what they're for. [01:52:13.500 --> 01:52:15.500] We need to get rid of the Bar Association, [01:52:15.500 --> 01:52:18.500] because these guys are some lame ass people. [01:52:18.500 --> 01:52:20.500] Hey, I'm working on it, at least here in Texas. [01:52:20.500 --> 01:52:24.500] If we kick them out of every state, who are they going to adjudicate over [01:52:24.500 --> 01:52:27.500] or rule over other than in Washington, D.C.? [01:52:27.500 --> 01:52:30.500] Won't be anybody else left if we get them kicked out of the states. [01:52:30.500 --> 01:52:32.500] I'm working on doing that here. [01:52:32.500 --> 01:52:38.500] I mean, imagine creating a monopoly on bootlickers. [01:52:38.500 --> 01:52:43.500] Well, that's been going on for a long time. [01:52:43.500 --> 01:52:44.500] It's incredible. [01:52:44.500 --> 01:52:45.500] Oh, man. [01:52:45.500 --> 01:52:46.500] Thanks a lot. [01:52:46.500 --> 01:52:47.500] I appreciate it. [01:52:47.500 --> 01:52:48.500] Thanks, Mark. [01:52:48.500 --> 01:52:49.500] That was a good one. [01:52:49.500 --> 01:52:52.500] Okay, we're going now to Carlos in California. [01:52:52.500 --> 01:52:53.500] Carlos, thanks for calling in. [01:52:53.500 --> 01:52:55.500] What's on your mind tonight? [01:52:55.500 --> 01:52:56.500] Good afternoon, guys. [01:52:56.500 --> 01:52:59.500] Do we have Mr. Carlson with us today? [01:52:59.500 --> 01:53:00.500] No, he's not here tonight. [01:53:00.500 --> 01:53:01.500] Okay. [01:53:01.500 --> 01:53:03.500] I'll check back out that Thursday, right? [01:53:03.500 --> 01:53:04.500] Yes. [01:53:04.500 --> 01:53:05.500] Yes. [01:53:05.500 --> 01:53:09.500] Randy can be here on Monday night sometimes, but he is just too busy right now. [01:53:09.500 --> 01:53:10.500] Right. [01:53:10.500 --> 01:53:11.500] Good enough. [01:53:11.500 --> 01:53:12.500] I'll send back and enjoy the show. [01:53:12.500 --> 01:53:13.500] Thank you. [01:53:13.500 --> 01:53:14.500] Okay, great. [01:53:14.500 --> 01:53:15.500] Thanks, Carlos. [01:53:15.500 --> 01:53:16.500] Okay, Gary from Georgia. [01:53:16.500 --> 01:53:17.500] Thanks for calling in. [01:53:17.500 --> 01:53:19.500] What's on your mind tonight? [01:53:19.500 --> 01:53:26.500] Oh, you're having a great show, a lot of good points, and we're about at the end of the [01:53:26.500 --> 01:53:32.500] show, so I will call back about Friday night and discuss some of the things that Eddie [01:53:32.500 --> 01:53:35.500] has discussed in the last half an hour. [01:53:35.500 --> 01:53:36.500] Well, go ahead. [01:53:36.500 --> 01:53:39.500] We've got about five minutes left, so go ahead, Gary. [01:53:39.500 --> 01:53:42.500] Maybe you could summarize what your points are. [01:53:42.500 --> 01:53:52.500] Well, the real point, I've called other people, is about what is necessary to have a criminal [01:53:52.500 --> 01:53:53.500] accent. [01:53:53.500 --> 01:53:55.500] First, my issue is always, what is this? [01:53:55.500 --> 01:53:56.500] What is a crime? [01:53:56.500 --> 01:54:00.500] And a crime is a public court versus private. [01:54:00.500 --> 01:54:06.500] But Eddie talks about the charging instrument, and in my state, most states, it's either [01:54:06.500 --> 01:54:09.500] by an indictment or someone has some information. [01:54:09.500 --> 01:54:18.500] In my state, an individual can arrest or can charge just as much authority as a police [01:54:18.500 --> 01:54:19.500] officer. [01:54:19.500 --> 01:54:24.500] A police officer, he's just a Coca-Cola cop, he's not elected. [01:54:24.500 --> 01:54:29.500] But Eddie, would you like for you to go over what you did about half an hour ago about [01:54:29.500 --> 01:54:34.500] the charging document and the information? [01:54:34.500 --> 01:54:36.500] Could you repeat that, sir? [01:54:36.500 --> 01:54:37.500] Yes. [01:54:37.500 --> 01:54:38.500] Thank you. [01:54:38.500 --> 01:54:44.500] In the Texas Constitution, Article 5, Section 12 Bravo specifically states that only an [01:54:44.500 --> 01:54:48.500] indictment or information vests the court with jurisdiction of the cause. [01:54:48.500 --> 01:54:54.500] In the Code of Criminal Procedure, it specifically states that an indictment or information can [01:54:54.500 --> 01:54:59.500] only be signed either by the foreman of the grand jury in the case of the indictment or [01:54:59.500 --> 01:55:05.500] the district attorney or county attorney in the case of an information. [01:55:05.500 --> 01:55:10.500] There is no authority in law for anyone else to sign a charging instrument. [01:55:10.500 --> 01:55:15.500] A complaint in and of itself is not a valid charging instrument. [01:55:15.500 --> 01:55:22.500] And both an indictment and an information must have a complaint attached to them before [01:55:22.500 --> 01:55:24.500] either of them are valid. [01:55:24.500 --> 01:55:27.500] The complaint is what gets the ball rolling. [01:55:27.500 --> 01:55:33.500] The information is what allows the ball to grow bigger in size like the proverbial snowball [01:55:33.500 --> 01:55:37.500] rolling down the hillside. [01:55:37.500 --> 01:55:41.500] If you don't have both of them, you have nothing. [01:55:41.500 --> 01:55:42.500] Okay, Gary. [01:55:42.500 --> 01:55:44.500] Does that address the issue? [01:55:44.500 --> 01:55:47.500] Well, yes, ma'am, that particular issue. [01:55:47.500 --> 01:55:53.500] And I'll let somebody else, but you need other people to understand that fact. [01:55:53.500 --> 01:55:54.500] Thank you very much. [01:55:54.500 --> 01:55:55.500] Okay. [01:55:55.500 --> 01:55:56.500] Thanks, Gary. [01:55:56.500 --> 01:55:57.500] Okay. [01:55:57.500 --> 01:55:58.500] We're going now to Brian in Minnesota. [01:55:58.500 --> 01:55:59.500] Brian, thanks for calling in. [01:55:59.500 --> 01:56:00.500] We've got about three minutes. [01:56:00.500 --> 01:56:01.500] What's on your mind? [01:56:01.500 --> 01:56:03.500] Yeah, hi. [01:56:03.500 --> 01:56:04.500] How are you doing? [01:56:04.500 --> 01:56:10.500] I just wanted to ask quick to Eddie what motions I should file before the arraignment and what [01:56:10.500 --> 01:56:13.500] motions I should file before the trial separately. [01:56:13.500 --> 01:56:15.500] What state are you in? [01:56:15.500 --> 01:56:16.500] Minnesota. [01:56:16.500 --> 01:56:17.500] Okay. [01:56:17.500 --> 01:56:22.500] The first thing you file before trial is always a challenge to the jurisdiction if you've [01:56:22.500 --> 01:56:24.500] got the arguments to support it. [01:56:24.500 --> 01:56:29.500] Did the court acquire jurisdiction properly and in accordance with law? [01:56:29.500 --> 01:56:31.500] If not, challenge it, period. [01:56:31.500 --> 01:56:33.500] That's always the first thing you do. [01:56:33.500 --> 01:56:37.500] That would be filed before or on the on or before date. [01:56:37.500 --> 01:56:38.500] Yes. [01:56:38.500 --> 01:56:44.500] The second thing is if you challenge standing, who has standing to bring this complaint against [01:56:44.500 --> 01:56:45.500] me? [01:56:45.500 --> 01:56:46.500] Where did you get it? [01:56:46.500 --> 01:56:47.500] How did you get it? [01:56:47.500 --> 01:56:50.500] Why do you believe you have it? [01:56:50.500 --> 01:56:53.500] And then cite law to show why they don't have it. [01:56:53.500 --> 01:56:56.500] That would be, Brian was asking something as you were talking. [01:56:56.500 --> 01:57:01.500] Brian, that challenge to the jurisdiction would be filed on the on or before date of [01:57:01.500 --> 01:57:03.500] the traffic ticket. [01:57:03.500 --> 01:57:06.500] It's long before any arraignment or anything else. [01:57:06.500 --> 01:57:07.500] It's the appearance date. [01:57:07.500 --> 01:57:10.500] You file that on the appearance date. [01:57:10.500 --> 01:57:15.500] What if I already, they had, it was in a municipality and I went to a hearing with an [01:57:15.500 --> 01:57:20.500] officer and I caught the hearing officer doing some misconduct so my strategy was I was going [01:57:20.500 --> 01:57:30.500] to kind of try to file misconduct on the, I guess it would be a judicial officer. [01:57:30.500 --> 01:57:33.500] Who's the officer in question here? [01:57:33.500 --> 01:57:40.500] Well, since a black hole in Minnesota of the black hole area there, would you think it [01:57:40.500 --> 01:57:42.500] could be a little different than in Texas? [01:57:42.500 --> 01:57:44.500] Well, I mean, it could be. [01:57:44.500 --> 01:57:50.500] I haven't gone into Minnesota rules on the adjudication of these cases that much. [01:57:50.500 --> 01:57:51.500] Okay. [01:57:51.500 --> 01:57:58.500] But basically speaking, whatever your constitution says first and your statute second. [01:57:58.500 --> 01:58:04.500] That's why I tell everybody study your state constitution, study it intently. [01:58:04.500 --> 01:58:09.500] Learn it like the back of your hand because that is your first line of defense. [01:58:09.500 --> 01:58:12.500] Do I want to do these before the arraignment? [01:58:12.500 --> 01:58:13.500] Yes. [01:58:13.500 --> 01:58:14.500] Okay. [01:58:14.500 --> 01:58:15.500] Yeah. [01:58:15.500 --> 01:58:19.500] You want to do everything as soon as possible and also motions to dismiss as well. [01:58:19.500 --> 01:58:22.500] What about your motion for a fair trial? [01:58:22.500 --> 01:58:25.500] You definitely want to do that before you go to trial. [01:58:25.500 --> 01:58:29.500] You don't have to do it before arraignment, but you can definitely do it before trial. [01:58:29.500 --> 01:58:30.500] Okay. [01:58:30.500 --> 01:58:31.500] Thank you very much. [01:58:31.500 --> 01:58:32.500] Okay. [01:58:32.500 --> 01:58:33.500] Great. [01:58:33.500 --> 01:58:34.500] Great, Brian. [01:58:34.500 --> 01:58:35.500] Okay. [01:58:35.500 --> 01:58:36.500] We are at the end of the show tonight. [01:58:36.500 --> 01:58:37.500] Thanks for listening, folks.
