[00:27.000 --> 00:32.000] Support for The Liberty Beat comes from Brave New Books, Austin's only brick and mortar store, [00:32.000 --> 00:34.000] carrying Taney Tangerine 2.0. [00:34.000 --> 00:37.000] Online at BraveNewBookstore.com. [00:37.000 --> 00:42.000] And from Sons of Liberty Mint, where every week you have the opportunity to win up to 4 ounces of silver [00:42.000 --> 00:45.000] by simply guessing the spot price for that day. [00:45.000 --> 00:49.000] Contest details at SonsofLibertyMint.com slash contest. [00:49.000 --> 00:53.000] That's S-U-N-S of LibertyMint.com. [00:53.000 --> 00:55.000] And now the news. [00:55.000 --> 01:00.000] The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is attempting to block the release [01:00.000 --> 01:04.000] of a controversial new book by special agent turned whistleblower John Dodson. [01:04.000 --> 01:09.000] The book details his version of the Operation Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal, [01:09.000 --> 01:11.000] which has led to at least one American death. [01:11.000 --> 01:17.000] Special Agent Dodson went public in 2011 and has requested special permission to publish his already written book, [01:17.000 --> 01:20.000] but has been informed by superiors that the move would, quote, [01:20.000 --> 01:25.000] have a negative impact on morale in the Phoenix Field Division and would have a detrimental effect [01:25.000 --> 01:28.000] on our relationship with the DEA and FBI. [01:28.000 --> 01:32.000] The Washington Times recently reported that the American Civil Liberties Union [01:32.000 --> 01:37.000] has agreed to defend Agent Dodson should he choose to move forward with publishing his book. [01:37.000 --> 01:44.000] The Buchanan County, Missouri, Sheriff's Department has purchased two pairs of stun cuffs. [01:44.000 --> 01:50.000] KQ2TV says the Department has begun using the 80,000 volt enhanced handcuffs [01:50.000 --> 01:53.000] for prisoner transfers and some court appearances. [01:53.000 --> 01:56.000] Each pair of cuffs cost just over $2,000. [01:56.000 --> 02:01.000] Placed on a prisoner's arm or leg, the cuffs are operated by remote from up to 100 yards. [02:01.000 --> 02:04.000] Although the Sheriff's Department dismisses safety concerns, [02:04.000 --> 02:08.000] Amnesty International reports that 500 people died in the United States [02:08.000 --> 02:12.000] after being shocked by tasers between 2001 and 2012. [02:12.000 --> 02:15.000] Tasers usually deploy a charge of 50,000 volts, [02:15.000 --> 02:22.000] just over half the reported capacity of the new stun cuffs. [02:22.000 --> 02:24.000] On the heels of the seizure of Silk Road, [02:24.000 --> 02:28.000] new information surfaces regarding government tracking on the dark web. [02:28.000 --> 02:32.000] On Friday, the Guardian published leaked documents attributed to Edward Snowden [02:32.000 --> 02:35.000] that show both the United States and British intelligence [02:35.000 --> 02:38.000] have long attempted to crack the Tor network. [02:38.000 --> 02:43.000] Used by Silk Road to maintain anonymity, Tor is also used by human rights groups, [02:43.000 --> 02:44.000] journalists, and others. [02:44.000 --> 02:47.000] Tor is comprised of a series of voluntary computers [02:47.000 --> 02:49.000] that, working together as a network around the world, [02:49.000 --> 02:52.000] mask the location of individual users. [02:52.000 --> 02:55.000] Support for The Liberty Beat comes from Carmacazi Productions, [02:55.000 --> 03:16.000] the production house bringing you Sovereign Living to show. [03:16.000 --> 03:25.000] Really, man, come on, six o'clock news says somebody been shot, somebody's been abused, [03:25.000 --> 03:31.000] somebody blew up a building, somebody stole a car, somebody got away, [03:31.000 --> 03:39.000] somebody didn't get too far, yeah, they didn't get too far. [03:39.000 --> 03:47.000] Grandpappy told my pappy back in my day, son, when a man had to answer for the weed that he'd dug. [03:47.000 --> 03:53.000] Take all the rope in Texas by the tall old tree, round up all of them dead boys, [03:53.000 --> 04:01.000] hang them out on the street, for all the people to see. [04:01.000 --> 04:07.000] That justice is one thing you should always find, you gotta settle up your boys, [04:07.000 --> 04:09.000] you've gotta draw a hard line. [04:09.000 --> 04:13.000] When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune, [04:13.000 --> 04:17.000] and we'll all meet back at the local smooth. [04:17.000 --> 04:22.000] We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing, [04:22.000 --> 04:33.000] whiskey for my men, beer for my horses. [04:33.000 --> 04:37.000] We got too many gangsters doing pretty things. [04:37.000 --> 04:38.000] All right, folks, good evening. [04:38.000 --> 04:40.000] This is Rule of Law Radio. [04:40.000 --> 04:43.000] This is the Monday Night Traffic Show with your host, Eddie Craig. [04:43.000 --> 04:48.000] It is October 7th, 2013. [04:48.000 --> 04:53.000] All right, I hope everybody had a good weekend, and we'll have a great week coming up, [04:53.000 --> 04:56.000] and that the Lord will bless you mightily in all that you do. [04:56.000 --> 05:00.000] But while we're waiting on him to do so, let's talk a little bit tonight about some of the things [05:00.000 --> 05:04.000] that we were going over in class yesterday and something that I was asked to go over [05:04.000 --> 05:06.000] for a little bit tonight. [05:06.000 --> 05:12.000] We learned in class yesterday the major difference and the major amount of effort involved [05:12.000 --> 05:19.000] in trying to go to a case on merits versus a case on never engaged in transportation [05:19.000 --> 05:21.000] in the first place. [05:21.000 --> 05:30.000] And hands down, a not engaged in transportation case is much, much easier to present [05:30.000 --> 05:42.000] and refute their supposition of transportation than going to merits would ever be, ever be. [05:42.000 --> 05:47.000] In order to go to merits, there is so much more you have to know about the actual statute involved, [05:47.000 --> 05:52.000] about the actual application, about the actual language, about the actual intent. [05:52.000 --> 05:55.000] There's more you have to know about everything. [05:55.000 --> 06:02.000] Whereas not in transportation, you don't even have to care because it doesn't apply. [06:02.000 --> 06:04.000] It's a no-brainer. [06:04.000 --> 06:05.000] I don't care what it says. [06:05.000 --> 06:12.000] I wasn't doing that, so it doesn't matter what it says versus, well, if it's on a Thursday, [06:12.000 --> 06:18.000] you're wearing yellow underwear, your T-shirt's dirty, and you haven't washed laundry since last month, [06:18.000 --> 06:22.000] then the condition of your parole will be, and that's pretty much how it turns out. [06:22.000 --> 06:32.000] Everything is against you in a merits case, everything, because merits goes to mindset, [06:32.000 --> 06:40.000] goes to perception, goes to everybody's belief about what is rather than what the statutes involved say. [06:40.000 --> 06:51.000] Now, why this is important to you is because the amount of study involved goes up exponentially. [06:51.000 --> 06:56.000] Now, why did I go into all that study to learn everything I do about the statutes? [06:56.000 --> 06:57.000] Well, for several reasons. [06:57.000 --> 07:04.000] One, it's a lot easier to see how crooked the game is played and rigged [07:04.000 --> 07:10.000] if you take the time to understand what the rules are they're using. [07:10.000 --> 07:14.000] I was not content with just seeing that, well, that doesn't apply. [07:14.000 --> 07:18.000] I wanted to see how they were coming up with the idea that it ever could. [07:18.000 --> 07:23.000] I wanted to see the tricks and traps they used to try to lay that groundwork [07:23.000 --> 07:28.000] to get people that don't understand the difference ensnared and entrapped [07:28.000 --> 07:33.000] and unable to extricate themselves from the assertions that are made against them. [07:33.000 --> 07:41.000] So, my reason for going as far as I have into the actual statutes is to learn. [07:41.000 --> 07:49.000] And that doesn't let you off the hook on the learning if you want to also understand. [07:49.000 --> 07:58.000] Now, granted, it's a lot easier to just make the assertion than to have to come to an understanding, [07:58.000 --> 08:07.000] but it will never motivate you to fight back as much as knowing will. [08:07.000 --> 08:12.000] And the reason I say that is because until you've been railroaded [08:12.000 --> 08:21.000] and until you've suffered through it at their hands, you're never upset or angered by what they do. [08:21.000 --> 08:30.000] And you don't really understand the extent that they will go to to keep this illusion [08:30.000 --> 08:38.000] and their hands in your pocket alive and well and in progress. [08:38.000 --> 08:43.000] So, there's a lot to be said for learning about the statutes, [08:43.000 --> 08:50.000] especially the ones dealing with the criminal procedure, to see what they tell you they're supposed to do. [08:50.000 --> 08:53.000] Now, here's the kicker. [08:53.000 --> 09:00.000] Until you know what they're supposed to do, you can't understand when they're not doing it. [09:00.000 --> 09:07.000] You also have a much harder time understanding how that affects your rights [09:07.000 --> 09:11.000] when you're going through these cases against them. [09:11.000 --> 09:21.000] Everything about the way this system is set up is intentionally written to deny due process. [09:21.000 --> 09:26.000] I can prove that in three minutes flat with every single one of the statutes. [09:26.000 --> 09:34.000] Everything about it is geared to violating rights in order to gather money. [09:34.000 --> 09:36.000] It's that simple. [09:36.000 --> 09:41.000] I want you to play by a certain set of rules while they themselves are bound by none. [09:41.000 --> 09:46.000] We can do what we want, we'll say what we want, we'll do what we want at any stage, [09:46.000 --> 09:49.000] regardless of what the rules say we should be doing, [09:49.000 --> 09:56.000] which is just simply more proof positive that while they're telling you it's a criminal case, in reality, it is not. [09:56.000 --> 10:02.000] Because if it were, they would have to play by the rules they're telling you that you have to play by. [10:02.000 --> 10:04.000] And they don't. [10:04.000 --> 10:08.000] Until you know what the rules are, you won't see that they're not. [10:08.000 --> 10:11.000] You'll presume everything they're doing is correct. [10:11.000 --> 10:14.000] Everything they're doing is what's allowed. [10:14.000 --> 10:22.000] And everything that they're doing can be done lawfully versus legally. [10:22.000 --> 10:24.000] And it can't. [10:24.000 --> 10:29.000] See, that's the other problem people have is they misconstrue several things in our society these days. [10:29.000 --> 10:34.000] One of them is the difference between lawful and legal. [10:34.000 --> 10:40.000] You can legalize anything, but that will not make it lawful. [10:40.000 --> 10:45.000] Lawful is when it's morally and ethically sound under the common law. [10:45.000 --> 10:53.000] Nothing that is legal is bound by the common law in the perception of what we currently call government. [10:53.000 --> 11:01.000] If it were, then most of the things they accuse us of in order to take money from us would not be allowed in the first place. [11:01.000 --> 11:05.000] And it goes back to something that I've said many, many times. [11:05.000 --> 11:18.000] If we're not a democracy, then how did the majority get the authority to deny me my individual rights through the use of these codes? [11:18.000 --> 11:20.000] Straight up answer is they couldn't. [11:20.000 --> 11:22.000] They never did. [11:22.000 --> 11:28.000] It's all a matter of perception and agreement and what we let them do and get away with. [11:28.000 --> 11:31.000] That's the problem. [11:31.000 --> 11:38.000] What they want us to accept and what we should be accepting are never going to be in agreement. [11:38.000 --> 11:39.000] Why? [11:39.000 --> 11:51.000] Because everything is completely the antithesis of what we're supposed to be as a political body and a form of government. [11:51.000 --> 11:54.000] And I've told you this before on the show. [11:54.000 --> 12:05.000] It irks me to no end every time I hear anybody refer to anything in relation to our form of government as a democracy. [12:05.000 --> 12:10.000] But consider how often that happens. [12:10.000 --> 12:22.000] Every TV show, especially one that deals with law, especially one that deals with authority figures, they constantly refer to us as a democracy. [12:22.000 --> 12:33.000] Well, in our democracy, in our democratic form of government, well, when you live in a democracy, well, when you use democracy to elect these people, this is what you get. [12:33.000 --> 12:34.000] And they're right. [12:34.000 --> 12:37.000] That is what you get, mob rule. [12:37.000 --> 12:41.000] But we weren't set up for mob rule. [12:41.000 --> 12:45.000] So how did we allow this to get to this point? [12:45.000 --> 12:50.000] Well, we got it by not setting the record straight when this happens. [12:50.000 --> 13:01.000] Like, for instance, every time I hear some of these televised talking idiots say anything like that, the first thing I'm doing is sitting down and writing them an email. [13:01.000 --> 13:02.000] Well, you did it again. [13:02.000 --> 13:04.000] You called us a democracy. [13:04.000 --> 13:06.000] Obviously, you're illiterate. [13:06.000 --> 13:11.000] Because by now, you should have been able to read at least one of these emails to understand the difference. [13:11.000 --> 13:14.000] So far, no luck. [13:14.000 --> 13:21.000] So Bill O'Reilly, you know, or, you know, Hannity, any of them, Beck, you name it. [13:21.000 --> 13:23.000] They all do it. [13:23.000 --> 13:25.000] Okay? [13:25.000 --> 13:50.000] But it's intentional. It is that soft subliminal transgression of right versus wrong, of here's what we really are, but here's what we want you to all accept and believe that we are and act like we are so that we can do what we do and get away with it. [13:50.000 --> 13:53.000] This has all been in the works for a very long time, folks. [13:53.000 --> 14:05.000] And if you, just because you're just now becoming aware of it, that doesn't make it any less heinous or any less embedded in what has been done for generations in this country. [14:05.000 --> 14:10.000] This has been going on for a very long time. [14:10.000 --> 14:27.000] Our children are being indoctrinated by it. Our friends have been indoctrinated by it. Our whole society has been indoctrinated by it because no one corrects those that do it or informs those that hear it. [14:27.000 --> 14:36.000] I mean, some of the things that your kids were bringing home from school these days that they're passing off as an education is absolutely ridiculous. [14:36.000 --> 14:46.000] For instance, I saw someone posted a picture of a piece of homework that was sent home with an eight-year-old, a third grader, okay? [14:46.000 --> 14:51.000] Posted a picture of it up on Facebook, and I was looking at it. [14:51.000 --> 15:12.000] The question in the homework had to do with this woman who discovered a hair clip under her bed that she and her husband share, but she realized that the hair clip was not their child's or the wife's. [15:12.000 --> 15:23.000] So how did the discovery of this hair clip affect this woman? Why did she perceive the effect the way she did? [15:23.000 --> 15:33.000] And what was the probable reason why it affected her? And who would this hair clip probably actually belong to? [15:33.000 --> 15:42.000] These are the things that they wrote out in this thing and then asked questions of to an eight-year-old. [15:42.000 --> 15:56.000] They're trying to get the eight-year-old to accept that a monogamous relationship doesn't exist and it shouldn't exist or that it can't exist or that this is the way that things are done, [15:56.000 --> 16:08.000] that it's okay for a couple to cheat on each other, and so on and so forth. Just the kinds of things they're indoctrinating your kids to, and do you even know that? [16:08.000 --> 16:21.000] Are you looking at the stuff they bring home from school? Are you looking at how all of this stuff they're watching on TV slowly but surely is turning them from what they rightfully should know [16:21.000 --> 16:28.000] into what the powers that be want them to know and only what they want them to know and believe? [16:28.000 --> 16:35.000] Where do you think this authoritarianism that the cops exercise so readily on you on the streets has come from? [16:35.000 --> 16:43.000] They got you in the mindset of accepting that authority in exactly the same way. [16:43.000 --> 16:51.000] All right, folks. This is Rule of Law Radio. Call in number 512-646-984. Guys, I'll see you on the board.

[19:01.000 --> 19:11.000] You are listening to the Logos Radio Network, the LogosRadioNetwork.com. [19:31.000 --> 19:36.000] All right, folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio. [19:36.000 --> 19:50.000] Okay. Now, as far as timeline events, the question I got asked today about would I cover this has to do with when you have the timeframes for when you have to do certain things in relation to a case. [19:50.000 --> 20:03.000] Again, that timeframe will vary depending upon whether and also this is in Texas now. I don't know about any of the other places. But it depends on whether or not it's a court of record versus a court of no record. [20:03.000 --> 20:24.000] In a court of no record and a court of record, when it comes to the time the citation is issued, everything is the same. The officer by law cannot write a citation to make your initial appearance at any point less than 10 days from the date the ticket is issued. [20:24.000 --> 20:41.000] It can be more than 10 days, but it cannot be less than 30 days under Chapter 543 of the Transportation Code. Now, once you make the appearance on that, again, nothing's set in stone as to how long they have to get you into the court. [20:41.000 --> 20:57.000] However, if and when they ever actually make a complaint, then there are certain things that start alongside of the actual act itself. [20:57.000 --> 21:12.000] The statute of limitations for the act begins when the act occurs. For instance, if they charge you with speeding, then the statute of limitations clock on the prosecution for speedy trial and to actually prosecute begin. [21:12.000 --> 21:34.000] Now, they want to say that a speedy trial only starts when a complaint or an information is filed. Okay, well, that also is a possibility. But if they're doing things the right way in accordance with jurisdictional requirements and the Code of Criminal Procedure, [21:34.000 --> 21:51.000] then that complaint or that information or that indictment should be had before the date of that first appearance. Why? Because on that first appearance, 45.018B says they have to give you a copy of that complaint. [21:51.000 --> 22:06.000] Okay? And the charging instrument. And then they turn around and say that you also have that one day prior to trial on the merits when you have to complain that the complaint isn't proper. [22:06.000 --> 22:24.000] So, in one instance, you're required to have the information before your first appearance and the other, you have to be able to make your objection to the form and substance of what's in that complaint no less than one day prior to trial on the merits. [22:24.000 --> 22:33.000] Now, of course, every one of these courts may or may not have their own set of local rules as well, which you have to make the effort to get a hold of. [22:33.000 --> 22:48.000] For instance, here in Austin, Chapter 45 specifically says that a court can set earlier dates when these objections to the form and substance of the complaint have to be made. [22:48.000 --> 23:03.000] Well, in Austin, that limit is 14 days. In the various JPs, it may be 10 days. They may not have any. But in the Austin municipal courts, it's 10 days. [23:03.000 --> 23:19.000] In some of these other courts, it's a different number of days, like Rockdales, for instance, or Round Rocks, or, you know, someplace in San Antonio. They'll all be different because of local rules. Now, that is just stupid. [23:19.000 --> 23:38.000] Okay? There should be a set standard by which everything has to be done so there is no guesswork involved. Oh, but wait, that would require that you actually are going to get treated fairly, and that's not going to happen. [23:38.000 --> 23:55.000] So let's throw as many complications into the works as possible by allowing every one of these courts to create their own timelines for how things get done, thus ensuring mass confusion and the off chance that more people will miss their deadlines than not, [23:55.000 --> 24:13.000] because they got the wrong information about the wrong court, made the assumption it applied everywhere rather than just to this one and so on and so forth, thus ensuring a greater amount of revenue is generated by their failure to get correct information in a timely manner. [24:13.000 --> 24:26.000] Yep, that's the kind of crap they pull. And they get away with it. Why? Because once again, this is a part of the rules of the game that I was discussing in the first segment that unless you go into studying, you won't really realize. [24:26.000 --> 24:39.000] You won't know it's there. You won't have any knowledge that it's there because you haven't seen it. But I'm here to tell you folks, it happens every single day. [24:39.000 --> 24:55.000] So as far as the timeline after the initial appearance, again, that will vary. It'll depend upon what the court's docket calendar looks like, how busy it is, how busy it isn't, how revenue-starved it is, how many charges they made against you. [24:55.000 --> 25:06.000] In other words, they prioritize the cases based on several factors. One is, how long has this case been in the hopper? Okay, it's been in the hopper for three months. [25:06.000 --> 25:23.000] We haven't done anything on it in three months. However, we've got a three-week-old case that instead of just a ticket for speeding, this guy's got speeding, no license, no proof of financial responsibility, and it's possible that this may be their second offense. [25:23.000 --> 25:39.000] We can really rake this guy over the coals for some major bucks. So what should we do? They'll re-prioritize the cases to get the bigger money amount to the front of the line wherever possible. [25:39.000 --> 25:54.000] And if they don't do that, well, then what they'll do is they'll wind up dismissing the lower dollar amount and going after the bigger one so that it doesn't look like they're playing favorites when in fact they are because of the amount of money involved. [25:54.000 --> 26:12.000] So this has gotten to be a very little sophisticated casino game to them. And again, you walk into a casino, you place your bets, you take your chances, right? Especially if you don't know how to play the game you chose to put your money on. [26:12.000 --> 26:25.000] So again, another reason why the study is necessary, why it should be engaged in, regardless of the fact that you actually have to use it in that capacity or not. [26:25.000 --> 26:35.000] You always need to know what these people are going to be doing and how they're going to be doing it, what they're going to violate, how they're going to violate it, what they're going to ignore, so on and so forth. [26:35.000 --> 26:54.000] Okay? Now, after the timeline of whenever you actually do appear in court, again, everything in a misdemeanor case, and depending again upon the type of misdemeanor, but let's for the moment just stick with fine only offenses where they can't throw you in jail supposedly. [26:54.000 --> 27:06.000] They can only charge you a fine. The speedy trial clock will start the moment they file the complaint or the information or the indictment against you. The clock starts. [27:06.000 --> 27:17.000] The clock will continue to run unless a warrant gets issued because of some reason. A warrant will toll the speedy trial clock. [27:17.000 --> 27:26.000] It will also toll the statute of limitations clock. Everything freezes in time if there's an outstanding warrant. [27:26.000 --> 27:41.000] This is just one of the reasons why they want to issue a warrant as soon as possible, even if the statute does not allow the issuance of a warrant for a Class C misdemeanor on a failure to appear. [27:41.000 --> 27:51.000] Get that? There is no lawful authority in our statutes for the court to issue a warrant for failure to appear on the citation. [27:51.000 --> 28:14.000] Now, granted, 543 of the transportation code says that it is a failure to appear, but then when you get down to the actual statutes that deal with handling that failure, the only one it handles is A's and B's. It doesn't handle C's. [28:14.000 --> 28:29.000] So again, this is where they're acting on a presumption rather than a fact of law to violate your rights by incarcerating you unlawfully and illegal. [28:29.000 --> 28:34.000] But again, no study? You wouldn't know that. [28:34.000 --> 28:43.000] In the speedy trial clock, let's assume that no warrant has been issued, but they have issued a complaint and information and or an indictment as required. [28:43.000 --> 28:53.000] Now their problem is, is they only have X amount of months to get you to actual trial or they violate the speedy trial requirement. [28:53.000 --> 29:00.000] The courts in Texas have said that four months is too little, five months is too many. [29:00.000 --> 29:09.000] So there's also I've seen at least one case where it said three months was too little, but four months was too many. [29:09.000 --> 29:19.000] So again, just one of those problems where these idiots in black dresses can't make up their minds about what's good and what's bad about this, and so is this too long or is that too short? [29:19.000 --> 29:34.000] But it requires you to know much more than a layman's going to know, and it's going to require that much more be known by an attorney who isn't going to take the time to know because there's no money in it for him to know it. [29:34.000 --> 29:42.000] He's getting paid the same way as a public defender, regardless of whether he actively defends you or lets you get slam dunked. [29:42.000 --> 29:44.000] He don't care. [29:44.000 --> 29:48.000] Alright guys, y'all hang on. I'm going to wrap this up on the other side and start taking your calls. [29:48.000 --> 30:02.000] Call in number 512-646-1984. We will be right back after the break, so y'all hang on. [30:02.000 --> 30:09.000] Is this your mommy? Getting kids paired up with parents after school is a critical responsibility of teachers and school administrators. [30:09.000 --> 30:16.000] But is technology a good substitute for common sense? I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll tell you more in just a moment. [30:16.000 --> 30:26.000] Privacy is under attack. When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again. And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish too. [30:26.000 --> 30:34.000] So protect your rights, say no to surveillance, and keep your information to yourself. Privacy, it's worth hanging on to. [30:34.000 --> 30:41.000] This public service announcement is brought to you by Startpage.com, the private search engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. [30:41.000 --> 30:45.000] Start over with Startpage. [30:45.000 --> 30:50.000] A product called KidGopher promises to match kids with parents waiting to pick them up. [30:50.000 --> 30:57.000] It assigns parents RFID radio frequency microchipped ID cards that can be read by a computer system several feet away. [30:57.000 --> 31:05.000] The unique number on each card triggers a screen display of guardian names and pictures. But radio signals can be cloned, and databases can be altered. [31:05.000 --> 31:13.000] And supposedly secure technology tends to make humans lazy. Nothing can replace the security of staff simply knowing the students and their parents. [31:13.000 --> 31:21.000] KidGopher would not only put kids at risk, it would condition them to accept RFID and tracking. And that's not good for our future. [31:21.000 --> 31:30.000] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [31:30.000 --> 31:36.000] This is Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper that fell on the afternoon of September 11. [31:36.000 --> 31:43.000] The government says that fire brought it down. However, 1,500 architects and engineers have concluded it was a controlled demolition. [31:43.000 --> 31:48.000] Over 6,000 of my fellow service members have given their lives. And thousands of my fellow force responders are dying. [31:48.000 --> 31:53.000] I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a structural engineer. I'm a New York City correction office. I'm an Air Force pilot. [31:53.000 --> 32:01.000] I'm a father who lost his son. We're Americans, and we deserve the truth. Go to RememberBuilding7.org today. [32:01.000 --> 32:08.000] Do you feel tired when talking about important topics like money and politics? Are you confused by words like the Constitution or the Federal Reserve? [32:08.000 --> 32:09.000] What? [32:09.000 --> 32:13.000] If so, you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today, stupidity. [32:13.000 --> 32:20.000] Hi, my name is Steve Holt, and like millions of other Americans, I was diagnosed with stupidity at an early age. [32:20.000 --> 32:26.000] I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in almost every home in America, the television. [32:26.000 --> 32:31.000] Unfortunately, that puts most Americans at risk of catching stupidity, but there is hope. [32:31.000 --> 32:37.000] The staff at Brave New Books have helped me and thousands of other Foxaholics suffering from sports zombieism recover. [32:37.000 --> 32:44.000] And because of Brave New Books, I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries without feeling tired or uninterested. [32:44.000 --> 32:55.000] So if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity, then you need to call 512-480-2503 or visit them at 1904Guadalupe or bravenewbookstore.com. [32:55.000 --> 33:01.000] Side effects from using Brave New Books products may include discernment and enlarged vocabulary and an overall increase in mental functioning. [33:01.000 --> 33:12.000] Live, free speech radio, logosradionetwork.com. [33:12.000 --> 33:38.000] All right, folks, let's see if we can wrap this up now on the timeline. [33:38.000 --> 33:44.000] Anyway, if you go along with what the court cases say on the subject of Speedy Trial, [33:44.000 --> 33:53.000] if they hit five months or more when a complaint is active and no warrant is outstanding, that's a violation of the Speedy Trial requirement. [33:53.000 --> 33:57.000] And you can raise that as an issue to get the case dismissed. [33:57.000 --> 34:07.000] Now, let's say that they don't miss Speedy Trial, they get you in within a short amount of time after they get the complaint done. [34:07.000 --> 34:14.000] Then the question becomes, when did you get notice that they were one, bringing you to trial, [34:14.000 --> 34:24.000] and two, of what the actual charges against you were by being served with a copy of the complaint and the charging instrument in the form of an information or indictment? [34:24.000 --> 34:36.000] Well, most of the time, at least here in Austin, you never get served until the day of actual trial or at the very least your first appearance in court, [34:36.000 --> 34:44.000] which is a direct violation of 45.018B. [34:44.000 --> 34:48.000] So that in and of itself creates new timeline issues. [34:48.000 --> 34:57.000] The fact that they're not going by the Code of Criminal Procedure in anything they do, which again raises the question of is this even criminal, [34:57.000 --> 35:05.000] starts to put you in the mindset of, well, now I need to look at the timelines for a civil proceeding because obviously this can't be criminal. [35:05.000 --> 35:09.000] Nobody's doing anything the criminal code requires. [35:09.000 --> 35:24.000] So as far as answering what a specific number of days is, they will stick to the days in the Code of Criminal Procedure ironclad if it benefits them. [35:24.000 --> 35:31.000] They will ignore them out of hand if it is done to benefit you. [35:31.000 --> 35:33.000] Get that? [35:33.000 --> 35:43.000] They have no deadlines of their own if it benefits them to not have it. [35:43.000 --> 35:51.000] They can get away with ignoring everything at the lower level unless, of course, you raise the issue at the higher level. [35:51.000 --> 35:57.000] But you have to understand what these rules are, and that takes reading. [35:57.000 --> 36:05.000] Well, once you go through the actual pretrial and everything, technically you can keep getting resets, [36:05.000 --> 36:10.000] but there's a certain number of them they can't give you beyond, I think it's three is the maximum, [36:10.000 --> 36:15.000] and each one cannot be for more than 45 days and so on and so forth. [36:15.000 --> 36:25.000] And then after you actually go from the pretrial to the trial, this is where things get really ugly, especially if you lose, [36:25.000 --> 36:29.000] which, by the way, is 99.9% of the time. [36:29.000 --> 36:37.000] In a court of no record, if you lose, then by statute you have five days to file your motion for new trial, [36:37.000 --> 36:43.000] and you have ten days to perfect your appeal from the date of judgment in both instances. [36:43.000 --> 36:52.000] If your judgment is on Friday the 13th, then you have ten calendar days from Friday the 13th, [36:52.000 --> 36:58.000] not counting Saturday and Sunday because the first day would be on a weekend, okay? [36:58.000 --> 37:05.000] Remember, the first and last day of any time period cannot begin or end on a weekend or holiday. [37:05.000 --> 37:12.000] But if it had been Thursday the 12th, then your first day would have been Friday the 13th, [37:12.000 --> 37:18.000] and you would have had the 13th as your first day and ten complete days, [37:18.000 --> 37:25.000] and the tenth day you would have had to have had your stuff done, filed, or it's not done at all. [37:25.000 --> 37:30.000] Now, your motion for new trial would have had to have been five days from the 13th. [37:30.000 --> 37:36.000] If it's not filed by the fifth day counting the 13th, if your case was Thursday, [37:36.000 --> 37:44.000] or by the following Friday, if your case was on Friday, then you don't get an appeal. [37:44.000 --> 37:50.000] Now, here's another trick a lot of these courts are doing and not playing by the rules. [37:50.000 --> 37:57.000] The statute makes it very clear that a motion for new trial is a requirement for an appeal. [37:57.000 --> 38:03.000] Yet many of these courts are telling you, you don't have to file a motion for new trial. [38:03.000 --> 38:10.000] You just have to do this and this, and if you have it in by, oh, ten days from now, everything will be hunky-dory. [38:10.000 --> 38:17.000] Again, proof positive that they are not following the code of criminal procedure. [38:17.000 --> 38:24.000] Thus, proof positive this is not a criminal case. [38:24.000 --> 38:28.000] If it were, you would not have an appeal at all after five days. [38:28.000 --> 38:33.000] And what's really bad is some of these courts stick to that regardless, [38:33.000 --> 38:36.000] and other ones ignore it as if it doesn't matter. [38:36.000 --> 38:40.000] I've had the county courts around here for people send them up on their appeal, [38:40.000 --> 38:43.000] even though they never filed a motion for new trial. [38:43.000 --> 38:48.000] They simply paid the appeal bond and gave their notice, and that was that. [38:48.000 --> 38:55.000] Okay? So the fact that they completely ignore the rules when it benefits them, no problem for them. [38:55.000 --> 39:00.000] And then what happens, of course, when you finally get it all the way up on appeal? [39:00.000 --> 39:04.000] If you actually made the issue from a court of record and they gave you, [39:04.000 --> 39:08.000] you did everything and you didn't file a motion for new trial, [39:08.000 --> 39:11.000] and they went ahead to stand up on appeal anyway, first thing the appeals court's going to do, [39:11.000 --> 39:13.000] well, there was no motion for new trial filed in this case. [39:13.000 --> 39:18.000] Therefore, we're going to remand back and uphold the judgment and make them pay the fine [39:18.000 --> 39:24.000] because they never filed a motion for new trial in order to get this appeal. [39:24.000 --> 39:33.000] Again, they take the rules literally when it suits them and when it does not benefit you. [39:33.000 --> 39:37.000] So going from a court of no record, you've got five days for your motion for new trial [39:37.000 --> 39:41.000] and a total of ten days in which to file your notice of appeal [39:41.000 --> 39:44.000] and perfect your appeal by the payment of your surety bond. [39:44.000 --> 39:47.000] If it's a court of record, well, that varies. [39:47.000 --> 39:50.000] You've got ten days, according to Chapter 30 of the Government Code, [39:50.000 --> 39:55.000] in which to file your motion for new trial, and everything there is sequential. [39:55.000 --> 40:00.000] It's not synchronous. It's not, you know, side by simultaneous. [40:00.000 --> 40:06.000] In the new or the no record court, the same ten days applies to everything. [40:06.000 --> 40:12.000] You've got five for this, ten for this, but they all run together, okay? [40:12.000 --> 40:16.000] The first five days are the same ten day beginning. [40:16.000 --> 40:22.000] Whereas in the court of record, everything follows in step. [40:22.000 --> 40:25.000] You first have, you have ten days to file your motion for new trial. [40:25.000 --> 40:29.000] Then you don't do anything until a ruling for the motion for new trial has been had. [40:29.000 --> 40:36.000] If you're denied, then you've got X days to file your notice of appeal and your appeal bond. [40:36.000 --> 40:39.000] If it's granted, then you don't have to file the bond. [40:39.000 --> 40:41.000] You get to go back and have the new trial, [40:41.000 --> 40:44.000] and they've got X number of days to make that happen, and blah, blah, blah. [40:44.000 --> 40:47.000] So again, read the statutes. That's what they're for. [40:47.000 --> 40:49.000] Chapter 30 covers courts of record. [40:49.000 --> 40:55.000] Chapter 45 covers courts of no record, okay? [40:55.000 --> 41:04.000] Now, that being said, there is no definite set anything that you can trust [41:04.000 --> 41:09.000] because of all the ways they've allowed these lower courts and even the higher courts [41:09.000 --> 41:13.000] to set their own rules to do their own thing and to completely ignore the code [41:13.000 --> 41:16.000] that you are held to as if it's the gospel. [41:16.000 --> 41:18.000] So keep that in mind. [41:18.000 --> 41:25.000] Everything about what they do is rigged to make you miss out on due process, everything. [41:25.000 --> 41:26.000] All right. [41:26.000 --> 41:29.000] That being said, I've got about two minutes before break, [41:29.000 --> 41:31.000] but I'm going to go ahead and start a call, [41:31.000 --> 41:34.000] and then we'll pick it up when we get back on the other side. [41:34.000 --> 41:38.000] Carl in Texas, what can we do for you? [41:38.000 --> 41:41.000] Hey, Craig. Thanks for taking my call. [41:41.000 --> 41:47.000] I got a red light camera paper mailed to me, [41:47.000 --> 41:52.000] and so I mailed them back a respondent special parent's in-demand letter, [41:52.000 --> 41:57.000] and they just scheduled me for an administrative hearing tomorrow. [41:57.000 --> 42:01.000] Okay. Where did you get this letter? [42:01.000 --> 42:04.000] I got it from you, I believe. [42:04.000 --> 42:08.000] Okay. If you sent them the one that I put out, [42:08.000 --> 42:13.000] then the last thing in the world you're going to do tomorrow is show up for this hearing [42:13.000 --> 42:19.000] because the letter specifically states you will not participate in any such hearing, [42:19.000 --> 42:26.000] that you will not do anything that does not involve a proper judicial review. [42:26.000 --> 42:27.000] Okay. [42:27.000 --> 42:29.000] That's in the letter. [42:29.000 --> 42:30.000] Yes, sir. [42:30.000 --> 42:36.000] And you also in that letter, it demands that they set it for an actual trial if they're going to do anything. [42:36.000 --> 42:38.000] Right. [42:38.000 --> 42:42.000] So if you go, the first thing you do is, look, I'm here by special appearance. [42:42.000 --> 42:48.000] I'm finding you in writing, once again, I'm not participating in this administrative bull crap. [42:48.000 --> 42:50.000] Okay. [42:50.000 --> 42:58.000] So if you continue, be aware that you're going to be doing this in violation of my rights as the letter informs you, [42:58.000 --> 43:03.000] and your names will all wind up on a lawsuit when this is over. [43:03.000 --> 43:06.000] And then you go home or whatever, [43:06.000 --> 43:12.000] but you're not there to participate in any administrative proceedings. Don't. [43:12.000 --> 43:16.000] Because if you participate, you consent. [43:16.000 --> 43:17.000] Okay. [43:17.000 --> 43:23.000] I also mailed them the respondent's special appearance and motioned a quash for summons. [43:23.000 --> 43:25.000] I didn't file it. [43:25.000 --> 43:29.000] It didn't have a file stamped or, you know, go to the court and do that. [43:29.000 --> 43:32.000] I just mailed it to their address. [43:32.000 --> 43:34.000] Should I bring that? [43:34.000 --> 43:37.000] Well, what are you calling a summons? [43:37.000 --> 43:45.000] Well, that's why I'm sending that, because it was sent from the program coordinator of the city of Arlington. [43:45.000 --> 43:47.000] Okay. Well, hang on just a second, Carl. [43:47.000 --> 43:51.000] All right, folks, call in number 512-646-1984. [43:51.000 --> 43:54.000] This is Rule of Law Radio, your host, Eddie Craig.

[44:59.000 --> 45:05.000] Hello, my name is Stuart Smith from naturespureorganics.com, [45:05.000 --> 45:11.000] and I would like to invite you to come by our store at 1904 Guadalupe Street, Suite D here in Austin, Texas.

[45:43.000 --> 46:07.000] Don't forget to like us on Facebook for information on events and our products, naturespureorganics.com. [46:13.000 --> 46:33.000] Alright, folks, we are back. [46:33.000 --> 46:37.000] Alright, we are talking to Carl in Texas about a red light camera ticket. [46:37.000 --> 46:39.000] Alright, Carl. [46:39.000 --> 46:43.000] Alright, so should I bring with me to court? [46:43.000 --> 46:49.000] As a special appearance, the motion to quash, even though I mailed it to them, should I file that? [46:49.000 --> 46:54.000] As long as you send it certified mail so that you can show that it was mailed. [46:54.000 --> 47:01.000] But again, the motion to quash, you haven't told me yet, what are you calling a summons? [47:01.000 --> 47:04.000] Really, there is no summons. [47:04.000 --> 47:08.000] It was just sent from the program coordinator. [47:08.000 --> 47:10.000] What was sent? [47:10.000 --> 47:13.000] The administrative hearing letter. [47:13.000 --> 47:14.000] Okay. [47:14.000 --> 47:17.000] Well, again, that's not a summons. [47:17.000 --> 47:23.000] It's nothing that says you must appear or we will punish you for it, so it's not an actual summons. [47:23.000 --> 47:27.000] So that's why I say filing that isn't really required. [47:27.000 --> 47:33.000] You've dealt with everything that's of legal necessity in the actual letter. [47:33.000 --> 47:42.000] The first thing that we've seen in objecting to nonjudicial decision making, objecting to their lack of jurisdiction, everything's in that letter. [47:42.000 --> 47:44.000] Okay. [47:44.000 --> 47:50.000] And again, when you show up, the only thing you're doing is appearing by special appearance to challenge the jurisdiction [47:50.000 --> 47:57.000] and to remind you that I object and do not consent to any nonjudicial decision making. [47:57.000 --> 47:59.000] Okay. [47:59.000 --> 48:00.000] Well, that helps. [48:00.000 --> 48:01.000] Thank you. [48:01.000 --> 48:03.000] You're welcome. [48:03.000 --> 48:04.000] All right. [48:04.000 --> 48:07.000] Now we're going to go to Gary in Texas. [48:07.000 --> 48:08.000] Gary, what can we do for you? [48:08.000 --> 48:09.000] I'm sorry. [48:09.000 --> 48:10.000] Gary in New York. [48:10.000 --> 48:11.000] Gary, what can we do for you? [48:11.000 --> 48:12.000] Hi, Craig. [48:12.000 --> 48:15.000] Thank you for taking my call. [48:15.000 --> 48:23.000] I called last week regarding a parking ticket in New York and just wanted to follow up on transportation. [48:23.000 --> 48:30.000] I know Deborah commented that the word transportation itself means commercial. [48:30.000 --> 48:32.000] And she said there are two Supreme Court cases. [48:32.000 --> 48:33.000] Well, no. [48:33.000 --> 48:34.000] Traffic means commercial. [48:34.000 --> 48:37.000] Transportation means an act of commerce. [48:37.000 --> 48:38.000] An act of commerce. [48:38.000 --> 48:41.000] And she said there were two Supreme Court cases that specifically stated this. [48:41.000 --> 48:44.000] There is a lot more than two. [48:44.000 --> 48:46.000] Okay. [48:46.000 --> 48:51.000] But the ones that are controlling look in Black's Law Dictionary. [48:51.000 --> 48:59.000] The cases listed there are federal cases and they are controlling as far as the definition of transportation. [48:59.000 --> 49:00.000] Okay. [49:00.000 --> 49:08.000] Now I know you also said look into because the ticket stated that this is name of the operator, [49:08.000 --> 49:13.000] if present, if not present, owner of the vehicle bearing license. [49:13.000 --> 49:22.000] So I went to get the Vehicle and Traffic Law book of New York State 2007, 2008 edition. [49:22.000 --> 49:28.000] And it states for the term vehicle is defined as follows. [49:28.000 --> 49:39.000] Every device in upon or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway [49:39.000 --> 49:50.000] except devices moved by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rail or tracks. [49:50.000 --> 49:51.000] Yeah. [49:51.000 --> 49:53.000] That's pretty much the same way as defined here in Texas. [49:53.000 --> 49:55.000] Ann? [49:55.000 --> 50:04.000] Now this in itself, since it says or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, [50:04.000 --> 50:10.000] will this work together with those cases that you are referring to right now? [50:10.000 --> 50:11.000] Okay. [50:11.000 --> 50:12.000] Federal cases? [50:12.000 --> 50:15.000] You're going to a merits of a definition. [50:15.000 --> 50:21.000] What you're doing is their work for them or at least you're giving them an indication of what their work is. [50:21.000 --> 50:25.000] See, they're the one that's declared that you're operating a vehicle. [50:25.000 --> 50:27.000] What is their proof of this? [50:27.000 --> 50:36.000] Even if they give this definition, where did they prove that the activity to which the definition relates was being engaged in? [50:36.000 --> 50:42.000] See, the definition of vehicle is not where transportation itself is relevant. [50:42.000 --> 50:56.000] Transportation is relevant as the activity that must be engaged in order for that definition to ever apply. [50:56.000 --> 50:58.000] Do you follow? [50:58.000 --> 50:59.000] Right. [50:59.000 --> 51:04.000] I just wanted to lower their chance of railroading me when I replied in affidavit form saying everything that happened [51:04.000 --> 51:09.000] when they refused to give me a hearing, when I refused to grant them jurisdiction, [51:09.000 --> 51:14.000] when I challenged jurisdiction and the parking bureau, and they refused to have a hearing. [51:14.000 --> 51:16.000] So I just wanted to, out of time. [51:16.000 --> 51:19.000] Are they doing this in a criminal fashion? [51:19.000 --> 51:22.000] Is this a criminal nature offense in New York? [51:22.000 --> 51:23.000] Not at all. [51:23.000 --> 51:25.000] It's all civil? [51:25.000 --> 51:26.000] Absolutely. [51:26.000 --> 51:27.000] Okay. [51:27.000 --> 51:31.000] But they still bear the burden of proof, right? [51:31.000 --> 51:33.000] Not necessarily. [51:33.000 --> 51:40.000] Well, see, they just issue tickets, they put it on a card right behind the car's windshield wiper. [51:40.000 --> 51:48.000] And then when you appear in the parking violations bureau, they have a semblance of a court there, [51:48.000 --> 51:52.000] like 10 or 12 different small rooms, 10 by 10 maybe. [51:52.000 --> 51:56.000] In each room there is a judge or someone that is called a judge. [51:56.000 --> 52:00.000] And as soon as you come in, they say put the papers on the table and then raise your right hand. [52:00.000 --> 52:02.000] Do you swear to tell the truth? [52:02.000 --> 52:04.000] And so what I did is I challenged jurisdiction. [52:04.000 --> 52:06.000] I said I challenged jurisdiction. [52:06.000 --> 52:08.000] Did you raise your hand? [52:08.000 --> 52:09.000] No, not at all. [52:09.000 --> 52:12.000] I said I'm here by special appearance to challenge jurisdiction. [52:12.000 --> 52:16.000] And the judge got very upset and called the senior judge. [52:16.000 --> 52:17.000] Yeah. [52:17.000 --> 52:23.000] And the senior judge and him had some kind of a conference for like about 34 minutes while I stayed outside. [52:23.000 --> 52:24.000] Right. [52:24.000 --> 52:28.000] And then the senior judge came out and said, well, we cannot answer those questions for you here. [52:28.000 --> 52:30.000] And we cannot provide you any information here. [52:30.000 --> 52:34.000] Right, because they're not actual judges. [52:34.000 --> 52:35.000] Right. [52:35.000 --> 52:43.000] And so and said if you want to have a hearing, you will have to continue with the way we do business here, [52:43.000 --> 52:46.000] which I asked her, so you mean you want me to plead guilty or not guilty? [52:46.000 --> 52:47.000] She said yes. [52:47.000 --> 52:50.000] I said, but I cannot do that until you first prove jurisdiction. [52:50.000 --> 52:52.000] And she said we don't have to do that. [52:52.000 --> 52:55.000] By you being here, you already have, we already have jurisdiction. [52:55.000 --> 52:57.000] No, that's incorrect. [52:57.000 --> 53:02.000] But again, as long as you're there for the purpose of challenging, just keep challenging. [53:02.000 --> 53:08.000] Nothing changes until they determine they're either going to use force to compel you to obey [53:08.000 --> 53:13.000] or they prove that they actually have jurisdiction, which they can't do. [53:13.000 --> 53:19.000] Because while you're objecting to jurisdiction, you're going to be objecting to nonjudicial decision making. [53:19.000 --> 53:24.000] And that's all these people can do because they're entirely administrative. [53:24.000 --> 53:28.000] Yes, and they're actually known as administrative law judges here in New York. [53:28.000 --> 53:32.000] But are there any cases that I could put in affidavit that support that? [53:32.000 --> 53:33.000] Well, I don't know. [53:33.000 --> 53:36.000] You'll have to look in New York case law and find out if there is or not. [53:36.000 --> 53:38.000] The nonjudicial decision making. [53:38.000 --> 53:39.000] Yeah. [53:39.000 --> 53:43.000] Most anything that deals with administrative procedures, [53:43.000 --> 53:46.000] there's tons of case law that says everything's done by agreement. [53:46.000 --> 53:48.000] It can't be anything else. [53:48.000 --> 53:50.000] You have to agree to be there. [53:50.000 --> 53:52.000] You have to agree to the jurisdiction. [53:52.000 --> 53:57.000] You have to agree to everything. [53:57.000 --> 54:00.000] Okay. [54:00.000 --> 54:03.000] I'm being pulled apart by lawyers who are saying this is complete nonsense, [54:03.000 --> 54:10.000] that since the Barclay Violations Bureau was indeed created according to law, [54:10.000 --> 54:13.000] that they have jurisdiction and that's just the way it is. [54:13.000 --> 54:15.000] No, that isn't how it is. [54:15.000 --> 54:19.000] They only have jurisdiction over those people engaged in the activity [54:19.000 --> 54:24.000] that they administratively regulate. [54:24.000 --> 54:27.000] And that is commerce. [54:27.000 --> 54:31.000] It's always commerce. [54:31.000 --> 54:33.000] That's not your problem. [54:33.000 --> 54:43.000] Their ineptitude isn't your problem unless you allow them to make it your problem. [54:43.000 --> 54:47.000] Never trust a guy who makes a living off a system [54:47.000 --> 54:55.000] who tells you that the system is always right. [54:55.000 --> 54:56.000] Right, I understand. [54:56.000 --> 54:57.000] Okay. [54:57.000 --> 55:00.000] I was just hoping to get those transportation cases. [55:00.000 --> 55:04.000] Well, again, you're talking something specific to New York. [55:04.000 --> 55:05.000] No, no, no. [55:05.000 --> 55:06.000] She said there were Supreme Court cases. [55:06.000 --> 55:07.000] No, no, no. [55:07.000 --> 55:10.000] You're talking about cases involving the definition of transportation. [55:10.000 --> 55:15.000] Then you asked about cases talking about the administrative proceedings. [55:15.000 --> 55:16.000] Two different things. [55:16.000 --> 55:20.000] More interested in the transportation thing, more interested in... [55:20.000 --> 55:22.000] Well, again, here in Texas it's a lot easier [55:22.000 --> 55:25.000] because they actually call it the transportation code. [55:25.000 --> 55:29.000] In New York it's either the vehicle and traffic code or the motor vehicle code. [55:29.000 --> 55:30.000] I forget which. [55:30.000 --> 55:32.000] Vehicle and traffic law. [55:32.000 --> 55:33.000] Yeah. [55:33.000 --> 55:34.000] Well, no, no, no. [55:34.000 --> 55:37.000] That's not going to be the actual code. [55:37.000 --> 55:42.000] What's the code? [55:42.000 --> 55:45.000] That may be what somebody publishes a book of and calls it. [55:45.000 --> 55:48.000] For instance, there's a company here that published a book [55:48.000 --> 55:52.000] with the Texas transportation code and the code of criminal procedure in it, [55:52.000 --> 55:55.000] and they called it the Texas criminal and motor vehicle code. [55:55.000 --> 55:58.000] But Texas doesn't have a motor vehicle code. [55:58.000 --> 56:00.000] It's got a transportation code. [56:00.000 --> 56:05.000] That's what the legislature passed, a transportation act. [56:05.000 --> 56:07.000] So what did New York pass? [56:07.000 --> 56:10.000] Not sure, but it's Chapter 775 of the Laws of... [56:10.000 --> 56:11.000] Okay, wait, wait, wait. [56:11.000 --> 56:12.000] Wait, Gary. [56:12.000 --> 56:14.000] Not my question. [56:14.000 --> 56:20.000] Go to the original legislative bills in New York [56:20.000 --> 56:28.000] and find out what actual year that bill is based on [56:28.000 --> 56:30.000] to tell you what law it comes from. [56:30.000 --> 56:33.000] For instance, all those statutes that are used in Texas [56:33.000 --> 56:39.000] are based upon the original acts of the Texas legislature in 1925. [56:39.000 --> 56:41.000] Got that? [56:41.000 --> 56:42.000] Yep. [56:42.000 --> 56:45.000] It changed in 2013. [56:45.000 --> 56:50.000] It's an amended version of the original laws from 1925, [56:50.000 --> 56:59.000] and in Texas they cannot change the subject matter of any enactment by amendment. [56:59.000 --> 57:02.000] How can I find out if the same thing applies in New York? [57:02.000 --> 57:04.000] Read your state constitution. [57:04.000 --> 57:07.000] That's what it's there for. [57:07.000 --> 57:10.000] It tells you how your legislature can make law [57:10.000 --> 57:12.000] and what they have to do to do it. [57:12.000 --> 57:15.000] The reason I ask is because I actually went a little bit back [57:15.000 --> 57:19.000] and found from 1910 there's an attorney general's opinion [57:19.000 --> 57:25.000] that specifically states that one does not need to procure a driver license [57:25.000 --> 57:29.000] if one is not engaged in commerce. [57:29.000 --> 57:30.000] Correct. [57:30.000 --> 57:33.000] And so all you've got to do is find when the original act went into place [57:33.000 --> 57:37.000] that he's discussing and see if that act was ever changed by... [57:37.000 --> 57:38.000] It was. That's the thing. [57:38.000 --> 57:42.000] And at the time he said it, they were a definition for chauffeur [57:42.000 --> 57:44.000] and I believe operator. [57:44.000 --> 57:47.000] And later on, about 20 years later in the laws of 1929, [57:47.000 --> 57:52.000] they added additional definitions for the word person, for the word driver. [57:52.000 --> 57:57.000] Okay, but again, those still relate to the subject matter. [57:57.000 --> 58:03.000] The definition doesn't mean squat if it attempts to change the subject matter [58:03.000 --> 58:08.000] by the definition, which it cannot do. [58:08.000 --> 58:12.000] The rules of statutory construction prohibit that. [58:12.000 --> 58:17.000] In the Texas Constitution, they're not allowed to change the purpose [58:17.000 --> 58:21.000] of any enactment by amendment. [58:21.000 --> 58:25.000] If it engaged in this subject in 1925, [58:25.000 --> 58:30.000] that is the only subject it can deal with in 2013 [58:30.000 --> 58:35.000] because the entire act was repealed and reenacted in its entirety. [58:35.000 --> 58:37.000] That's never happened. [58:37.000 --> 58:40.000] That's what you need to be researching. [58:40.000 --> 58:41.000] Hang on, Gary. [58:41.000 --> 58:46.000] All right, folks, this Rural Law Radio, 512-646-1984. [58:46.000 --> 58:47.000] We're going to break. [58:47.000 --> 58:51.000] We'll be right back. [58:51.000 --> 58:55.000] The Bible remains the most popular book in the world, [58:55.000 --> 58:59.000] yet countless readers are frustrated because they struggle to understand it. [58:59.000 --> 59:02.000] Translations try to help by simplifying the text, [59:02.000 --> 59:07.000] but in the process can compromise the profound meaning of the Scripture. [59:07.000 --> 59:09.000] Enter the recovery version. [59:09.000 --> 59:13.000] First, this new translation is extremely faithful and accurate, [59:13.000 --> 59:18.000] but the real story is the more than 9,000 explanatory footnotes. [59:18.000 --> 59:22.000] Difficult and profound passages are opened up in a marvelous way, [59:22.000 --> 59:25.000] providing an entrance into the riches of the Word [59:25.000 --> 59:28.000] beyond which you've ever experienced before.

[01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:56.000] And now the news. [01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:59.000] The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives [01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:02.000] is attempting to block the release of a controversial new book [01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:05.000] by Special Agent turned whistleblower John Dodson. [01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:09.000] The book details his version of the Operation Fast and Furious Gunwalking scandal, [01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:12.000] which has led to at least one American death. [01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:14.000] Special Agent Dodson went public in 2011 [01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:18.000] and has requested special permission to publish his already written book, [01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:21.000] but has been informed by superiors that the move would, quote, [01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:24.000] have a negative impact on morale in the Phoenix Field Division [01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:29.000] and would have a detrimental effect on our relationship with the DEA and FBI. [01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:33.000] The Washington Times recently reported that the American Civil Liberties Union [01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:35.000] has agreed to defend Agent Dodson [01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:40.000] should he choose to move forward with publishing his book. [01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:45.000] The Buchanan County, Missouri Sheriff's Department has purchased two pairs of stun cuffs. [01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:50.000] KQ2-TV says the department has begun using the 80,000 volt enhanced handcuffs [01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:53.000] for prisoner transfers and some court appearances. [01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:56.000] Each pair of cuffs cost just over $2,000. [01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:01.000] Placed on a prisoner's arm or leg, the cuffs are operated by remote from up to 100 yards. [01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:04.000] Although the Sheriff's Department dismisses safety concerns, [01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:08.000] Amnesty International reports that 500 people died in the United States [01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:12.000] after being shocked by tasers between 2001 and 2012. [01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:15.000] Tasers usually deploy a charge of 50,000 volts, [01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:22.000] just over half the reported capacity of the new stun cuffs. [01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:24.000] On the heels of the seizure of Silk Road, [01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:28.000] new information surfaces regarding government tracking on the dark web. [01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:32.000] On Friday, the Guardian published leaked documents attributed to Edward Snowden [01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:35.000] that show both the United States and British intelligence [01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:38.000] have long attempted to crack the Tor network. [01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:40.000] Used by Silk Road to maintain anonymity, [01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:44.000] Tor is also used by human rights groups, journalists, and others. [01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:47.000] Tor is comprised of a series of voluntary computers [01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:49.000] that, working together as a network around the world, [01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:52.000] mask the location of individual users. [01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:55.000] Support for the Liberty Beat comes from Carmacazi Productions, [01:02:55.000 --> 01:03:24.000] the production house bringing you Sovereign Living to show. [01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:30.000] All right, folks, we are back, and we are talking to Gary in New York. [01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:32.000] All right, Gary. [01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:35.000] Anyway, that's what you need to research is to see [01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:40.000] whether your state constitution allows them to change legislative enactments [01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:43.000] by amendment, which it should not. [01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:46.000] It should specifically prohibit that. [01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:48.000] Basically, when a statute is enacted [01:03:48.000 --> 01:03:50.000] or some enactment is done by the legislature, [01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:54.000] here's the things the bill actually has to have. [01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:58.000] Every bill has a summary at the top, okay? [01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:04.000] That summary is supposed to describe the purpose and intent of the bill. [01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:10.000] Below that summary is where the actual language of the bill will begin. [01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:15.000] Everything in that actual language has to comport [01:04:15.000 --> 01:04:21.000] with the purpose and intent that's in that summary at the top. [01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:26.000] If they put something in the body that is not in that summary, [01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:32.000] that part of the bill is void, according to Texas Constitution. [01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:37.000] You need to see whether or not that exists in New York. [01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:41.000] Then you need to see what the original enactment was [01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:44.000] that was passed by the legislature [01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:51.000] and see if that entire act was ever repealed and reenacted [01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:55.000] rather than amended like you're describing. [01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:58.000] Because if all they did was amend it, [01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:04.000] they could not change the purpose that's in that little summarization at the top. [01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:09.000] Thus, any new definitions are limited to the same scope [01:05:09.000 --> 01:05:12.000] originally put forth in that summary. You got it? [01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:16.000] Yes, but in this case, I do believe strongly that it was repealed. [01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:17.000] Okay. [01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:18.000] Because even here... [01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:22.000] Then find the legislative proof of that. [01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:30.000] And then find what the new summary that replaced it says. [01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:33.000] Okay. Now, would I damage anything myself here [01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:36.000] if I were to still include that in my affidavit, [01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:42.000] that I was not a personal vehicle according to the definition of the vehicle as is... [01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:44.000] You don't go to the merits of anything. [01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:47.000] They bear the burden of proof, not you. [01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:51.000] Stop arguing with them over their terminology. [01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:55.000] Simply object to it and move on. [01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:58.000] Okay. So basically what I'm saying is just what happened there. [01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:03.000] I was going to make it more powerful by putting some case law on something like that. [01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:08.000] Just because I know what they're going to do is totally ignore it, [01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:10.000] and then they're going to issue an additional $10 penalty, [01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:14.000] which I will ignore, and then they will add an additional $10 penalty, [01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:16.000] and then eventually what they do in New York is... [01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:22.000] Okay. If you can document that you have made every reasonable effort to resolve this, [01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:27.000] they can't keep tacking on penalties for their failure to act. [01:06:27.000 --> 01:06:30.000] You understand? You can eventually go to the point of, [01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:33.000] look, I'm just going to sue you. That's all there is to it. [01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:37.000] And you will have documentation to prove you have good grounds. [01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:43.000] Now, when I write this affidavit, you said before, do not send them the ticket back. [01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:47.000] Now, on the back of the ticket, it says when you plead guilty or not guilty, [01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:51.000] which I wasn't going to plead anyway, but I was going to send the ticket back [01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:55.000] and mark where it says ticket is defective with an explanation [01:06:55.000 --> 01:07:00.000] and affidavit that it doesn't apply to me for the reason that it was not a vehicle. [01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:04.000] That does not make the ticket defective in the way they mean defective. [01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:09.000] Have you looked it up to see what the defective clause on that ticket actually means? [01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:10.000] No. [01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:13.000] For all you know, it means that it was issued to the wrong car. [01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:15.000] The one that was actually had it on their windshield, [01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:21.000] somebody took it off this car and stuck it on your car. That would be defective. [01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:22.000] Right. [01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:26.000] Okay. You're assuming to know what these things mean. [01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:29.000] Don't do that. It's a mistake. [01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:35.000] Okay. Got it. [01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:36.000] Okay. [01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:37.000] Okay. Thank you. [01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:39.000] You're welcome. [01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:40.000] All right. [01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:43.000] Now we're going to go to Josh in Texas. [01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:45.000] Josh, what can we do for you? [01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:46.000] All right. [01:07:46.000 --> 01:07:51.000] Well, I'm on a charter committee and we're getting ready to finish up. [01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:54.000] A charter of for what? [01:07:54.000 --> 01:07:59.000] Sorry, a city charter amendment committee, citizen-driven bill. [01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:01.000] Okay. [01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:08.000] And what we're looking to do is we're looking to change the charter in about four or five ways. [01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:13.000] And the toughest things we've had to deal with is making sure we're not violating state law [01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:20.000] and then also coming up with wording that will basically stand up in court. [01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:24.000] Well, it's not a matter of just violating state law. [01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:29.000] You also cannot violate any provision of the Constitution. Be aware of that. [01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:33.000] And if you want to verify everything you can and cannot do, [01:08:33.000 --> 01:08:37.000] make sure you read Article 11 of the Texas Constitution. [01:08:37.000 --> 01:08:39.000] Okay. [01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:45.000] And, you know, it's my understanding that if the state allows something like redevelopment [01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:51.000] or economic development, we can define that further in the city charter. [01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:53.000] Is that correct? [01:08:53.000 --> 01:08:58.000] If it does not supersede the authority of the state act on the subject, yes. [01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:03.000] However, you need to also be aware that just because the state says something, [01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:06.000] that doesn't make it the gospel either. [01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:12.000] The question becomes is does the state have the authority to do what it's pretending to do [01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:18.000] in order for you to base your authority on what they pretended to enact? [01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:26.000] Right. Well, like, for example, the state Constitution allows for redevelopment [01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:33.000] or economic development, and we are wondering if we can do things like limit their budget severely [01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:35.000] and if we can... [01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:37.000] There being who? [01:09:37.000 --> 01:09:42.000] Well, the economic development and redevelopment corporations that they've set up in the city [01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:44.000] that they're funneling money into. [01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:45.000] Well, what... [01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:46.000] Okay. [01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:48.000] Well, whose budget are we talking about? [01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:58.000] Well, the city has a 3% or a 3-cent tax that they send over to something they call Market Lubbock. [01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:02.000] And the citizens actually voted it out about 20 years ago by 84%, [01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:06.000] but they switched it and were able to continue doing it. [01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:11.000] So we're just trying to limit their ability to funnel money into their economic development [01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:14.000] and redevelopment corporations. [01:10:14.000 --> 01:10:15.000] Well, if... [01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:16.000] Okay. [01:10:16.000 --> 01:10:17.000] Well, here's the problem. [01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:20.000] Well, first off, what type of municipality is this? [01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:23.000] General law, home rule? [01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:24.000] Home rule. [01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:26.000] This is a home rule municipality. [01:10:26.000 --> 01:10:27.000] Correct. [01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:33.000] Does the charter specifically allow for this tax in explicit language? [01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:35.000] I don't think so. [01:10:35.000 --> 01:10:38.000] And it's illegal in the first place. [01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:45.000] Texas case law says very clearly home rule charters are the only source of authority a home rule city has. [01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:50.000] If what they're doing is not explicitly in the language of their charter, [01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:53.000] they do not have the power to do it. [01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:55.000] It's illegal. [01:10:55.000 --> 01:11:03.000] For instance, if your charter has no explicit language for a police force as a home rule city, [01:11:03.000 --> 01:11:07.000] then if you've got police operating there, they're security guards. [01:11:07.000 --> 01:11:08.000] They're not police. [01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:14.000] Anything they do to interact with the public is illegal if they violate a right. [01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.000] Right. [01:11:16.000 --> 01:11:19.000] Do you have any advice on sunsetting? [01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:20.000] Because we've found... [01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:28.000] What we've had to do since we don't have lawyers is find other places where charter amendments have been proposed and put on the ballot. [01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:37.000] And we've got one out of, I think, Fredericksburg that basically does not allow transfers out of any of the public utilities. [01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:48.000] And right now they're transferring about $27 million out of the public utility that we have here for reasons other than, you know, what, the electric service itself. [01:11:48.000 --> 01:12:03.000] So we're afraid that if we run a charter amendment like that and cut $27 million out of their budget, it could become a problem or they may be able to make it be seen as a problem as we're doing the petition. [01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:12.000] So we're wondering about how we can sunset some of these different things and what may be appropriate or any advice you'd have on that. [01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:16.000] Well, again, without a lot of study into what your charter actually says, [01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:26.000] first off, is there anything that requires you to have a sunsetting provision or is the city charter amenable to just removing it, [01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:31.000] thus taking away the authority and thus ending it entirely? [01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:33.000] Well, I'm not exactly sure. [01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:35.000] Well, see, that's the problem. [01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:38.000] You want to amend something that you don't fully understand. [01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:40.000] That's going to cause problems. [01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:42.000] Right. [01:12:42.000 --> 01:12:47.000] So as far as recommendations, without actually reading it, I couldn't tell you. [01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:55.000] What I can tell you, if you want to understand, Article 11 is fairly short as far as constitutional articles go. [01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:56.000] It's not that long. [01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:58.000] It's not big at all. [01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:02.000] That is everything that a municipality can do. [01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:03.000] Okay? [01:13:03.000 --> 01:13:07.000] What the state constitution allows regarding municipalities. [01:13:07.000 --> 01:13:11.000] After that, everything is set by statute. [01:13:11.000 --> 01:13:21.000] But while you're reading Article 11, be sure and read Section 49 of Article 3 and Section 56 of Article 3. [01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:26.000] Both of those deal with state law versus local law. [01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:28.000] Okay? [01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:31.000] So you may want to pay attention to those. [01:13:31.000 --> 01:13:45.000] One of them deals with funding and something else where laws cannot be passed by either the locality or by the state, depending upon what's going on. [01:13:45.000 --> 01:13:51.000] Because the state is specifically forbidden from creating local laws dealing with certain subject matter. [01:13:51.000 --> 01:14:00.000] And the fact of the matter is that the Texas Constitution forbids anyone but the legislature from enacting actual law. [01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:06.000] Anything you do in a charter is by ordinance and an ordinance is by agreement. [01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:20.000] I don't care what they want you to think, an ordinance in Texas cannot be a law because it's forbidden for a municipality to create anything that violates the state constitution or other state law. [01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:25.000] Well, state constitution gives the power to make law only to the Texas legislature. [01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:28.000] Therefore, ordinances can't be used as law. [01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:35.000] Now, you can bind legal entities to them as if they're law, but you can't do it to the public. [01:14:35.000 --> 01:14:37.000] Okay. [01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:40.000] And then another quick question. [01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:43.000] We're looking at doing things with property tax. [01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:46.000] We found amendments that tie the property tax to inflation. [01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:54.000] And we're starting to wonder if we can do something like exempt property taxes for people, let's say, over 65. [01:14:54.000 --> 01:15:00.000] Well, again, the state constitution is what controls property taxes. [01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:01.000] And here's the deal. [01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:11.000] Once again, the Texas legislature is forbidden from creating ad valorem taxes on private property. [01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:12.000] They can't do it. [01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:15.000] It's forbidden in the state constitution. [01:15:15.000 --> 01:15:21.000] So how can they give a municipality the power to do that, which they themselves cannot do? [01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:31.000] You can't make a tax waiver for over 65 because, constitutionally and legally speaking, you could never tax them in the first place. [01:15:31.000 --> 01:15:32.000] Right. [01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:34.000] You see the problems? [01:15:34.000 --> 01:15:39.000] You're fighting against what is supposed to be versus how they've been doing it. [01:15:39.000 --> 01:15:42.000] And that's going to cause a lot of flak. [01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:44.000] Right. [01:15:44.000 --> 01:15:49.000] Well, how would you suggest us approaching the property tax issue? [01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:51.000] How long do you have? [01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:55.000] Well, we've got about three or four weeks. [01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:59.000] Yeah, we're running into that quite a bit. [01:15:59.000 --> 01:16:06.000] Again, I don't know what the people there are willing to go along with and what they're not. [01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:11.000] Remember, if it's an ordinance, then they have to agree to it in order to be bound by it. [01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:16.000] And even if they agree to it today, they have every right to change their mind tomorrow. [01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:17.000] Right. [01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:19.000] You can tell them, say, look, this is what we want to do. [01:16:19.000 --> 01:16:21.000] Do you volunteer to participate? [01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:23.000] You can make it voluntary. [01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:29.000] You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't violate constitutional provisions or state law. [01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:31.000] The state can't set local tax rates. [01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:35.000] That's one of the things they're forbidden to do. [01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:36.000] Okay? [01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:45.000] But again, the locale can't tax things that are constitutionally protected from taxation and seizure either. [01:16:45.000 --> 01:16:47.000] Okay, hang on just a second, Josh. [01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:49.000] We'll pick this up on the other side.

[01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:33.000] Okay, now we're going to go back to Josh, see if we can hash this out real quick. [01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:41.000] Alright, Josh, the problem here is you've been given a very short amount of time to learn everything they've been doing wrong so that this time you can do it right. [01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:43.000] You are up against the wall, bud. [01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:45.000] Yeah, that's exactly right. [01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:50.000] And we've put together a really good team, and we seem to be able to put the pieces together. [01:19:50.000 --> 01:20:05.000] But with the timeframe we have, it looks like we're only going to be able to stick with charter amendments that we've seen proposed in other places so that we know we should be alright with the state laws, and those things have already been on a ballot. [01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:08.000] Well, again, don't necessarily trust that. [01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:12.000] I mean, there's no guarantee what you're reading is okay with state law. [01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:16.000] The simple fact of the matter is it may simply not have been challenged yet. [01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:17.000] Right. [01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:26.000] Do what you believe you can, but if you really want to know what you can do, then read those things I gave you out of the state Constitution first. [01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:27.000] Okay, I'll do that. [01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:28.000] Okay. [01:20:28.000 --> 01:20:39.000] And really, you know, this first round is more of a stopgap, and we're going to continue to keep doing what we're doing and come back again in two years, you know, and we'll be successful. [01:20:39.000 --> 01:20:48.000] But I'll give you an update real quick. I called in about the Imagine Love It redevelopment stuff a couple months ago, and we backed them off. [01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:55.000] They pulled everything off their agenda on the city, and we hammered them for about three months, and they seem to have gone quiet, but they'll be back. [01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:56.000] All right. [01:20:56.000 --> 01:20:57.000] Well, hang in there. [01:20:57.000 --> 01:20:58.000] Very good. [01:20:58.000 --> 01:20:59.000] Thank you. [01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:00.000] You're welcome. Bye-bye. [01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:01.000] Thanks for calling in. [01:21:01.000 --> 01:21:02.000] All right. [01:21:02.000 --> 01:21:05.000] Now we're going to go to Marty in Minnesota. [01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:06.000] Marty? [01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:07.000] Eddie. [01:21:07.000 --> 01:21:08.000] Yes? [01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:09.000] How are you doing? [01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:11.000] How was your trip to – was it Japan? [01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:15.000] Not a – it was to China, and I haven't gone yet, unfortunately. [01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:16.000] Oh, what? [01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:19.000] Yeah, things have not gone as well as they should so far. [01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:27.000] They're still trying to figure out if they can actually do what they need to do in a lot of ways, but I have not got to go yet. [01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:29.000] That would explain why you haven't heard about it. [01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:30.000] Yep. [01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:39.000] As Armand would say – I had a theme for your show tonight is – as Armand would say, the paradigm shift is pretty wicked, huh? [01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:40.000] Yeah. [01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:41.000] This is true. [01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:45.000] So I'm calling you so I could get the bad news. [01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:54.000] I wanted to know how tough it is to go after a judge for abusing the power of contempt. [01:21:54.000 --> 01:22:00.000] It depends on whether or not they had the power in the first place. [01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:01.000] Right. [01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:02.000] Right. [01:22:02.000 --> 01:22:03.000] Okay. [01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:04.000] What kind of judge? [01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:09.000] Well, this is an administrative traffic court, but the judge is the real judge. [01:22:09.000 --> 01:22:10.000] He's got – [01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:11.000] No, no, no, no, no. [01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:14.000] He's only a judge according to where he's sitting. [01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:15.000] Right. [01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:16.000] Okay. [01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:21.000] So I guess that would have made him a referee on that day. [01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:26.000] I want to say I've read something one time, though, in Minnesota that can be either or. [01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:29.000] Well, you misunderstand what I'm saying. [01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:34.000] His power of contempt is no greater than the court in which he's operating. [01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:44.000] For instance, here in Texas, a municipal court's power of contempt is no more than three days and a fine of no more than $100, period. [01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:55.000] Well, and it's not that I was charged with contempt, but he threatens contempt against me to get me to comply with his – you know how they are in traffic courts. [01:22:55.000 --> 01:22:56.000] Yeah. [01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:57.000] To get – yeah. [01:22:57.000 --> 01:23:00.000] But were you within your rights to do what you were doing? [01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:02.000] I definitely was. [01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:03.000] Okay. [01:23:03.000 --> 01:23:04.000] If I could describe what happened. [01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:05.000] Sure. [01:23:05.000 --> 01:23:11.000] I filed the motion about not agreeing to non-judicial decision-making. [01:23:11.000 --> 01:23:14.000] I filed a motion for demand for a complaint. [01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:22.000] And then, you know, several other just, you know, typical motions that you teach to file. [01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:28.000] And then – so they had changed the court date on me without giving me proper notice. [01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:40.000] So I also had a motion to dismiss in about that for that reason because they were – I got to plug my phone in here so it doesn't die. [01:23:40.000 --> 01:23:44.000] But – so those motions were all before the court. [01:23:44.000 --> 01:23:50.000] And immediately when I got in there, you know, I stood up and I said, is this the court of record? [01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:57.000] And the judge just – he appeared really hostile at first glance and everything. [01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:02.000] And then he got to going around and he was hostile to everyone before me. [01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:07.000] I mean, I witnessed a bunch of atrocious things before my case, and I knew it was going to go bad anyways. [01:24:07.000 --> 01:24:11.000] But – Okay, what are the rules of judicial conduct in Minnesota? [01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:18.000] See, here in Texas, they have to – they cannot do anything that destroys the impression of fair and impartial. [01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:22.000] They can't do anything to belittle a defendant or a witness. [01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:26.000] Those can get them disqualified from a case. [01:24:26.000 --> 01:24:27.000] Okay. [01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:29.000] Well, this is what he did to me was criminal. [01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:31.000] So here comes the kicker. [01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:41.000] So he – after he scolded me for talking over him when I asked if this is the court of record, then – [01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:44.000] Marty, can I get you to hold that thought for just a second? [01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:47.000] I've got another call from somebody that's actually in a jail cell. [01:24:47.000 --> 01:24:49.000] So let me grab that and I'll be right back. [01:24:49.000 --> 01:24:51.000] No problem. [01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:52.000] Okay. [01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:54.000] Curtis? [01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:55.000] Hello? [01:24:55.000 --> 01:24:57.000] Hello? [01:24:57.000 --> 01:24:58.000] Yeah, hi. [01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:06.000] I have a special writ of habeas hearing tomorrow at 1.30 in Judge Buzard's court. [01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:10.000] They cleared the docket and brought in a special judge, Chuck Miller. [01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:14.000] He's a judge – criminal – criminal appellate judge. [01:25:14.000 --> 01:25:16.000] And I have a new prosecutor. [01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:21.000] I'm addressing the bar association, jurisdiction, the fines and fees. [01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:22.000] I'm going to get cut off soon. [01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:24.000] So please come. Please record. [01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:25.000] I need court witnesses. [01:25:25.000 --> 01:25:27.000] What court? [01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:35.000] Curtis, what court? [01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:37.000] I guess that tells us that. [01:25:37.000 --> 01:25:40.000] Okay. [01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:47.000] Hopefully we'll go back and get the archive later and we'll find out what court he's actually in if he actually said it. [01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:49.000] Okay, Marty, go ahead. [01:25:49.000 --> 01:25:50.000] All right. [01:25:50.000 --> 01:25:51.000] All right. [01:25:51.000 --> 01:25:52.000] So here's the kicker. [01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:57.000] He scolded me and then he started to ask me, he said, what are we here for today? [01:25:57.000 --> 01:26:05.000] Are we here for – he asked the prosecution first and then he asked me and he asked me, what are we here for today? [01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:06.000] And I was stunned. [01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:08.000] I was like, you don't know? [01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:09.000] And that's all I said. [01:26:09.000 --> 01:26:10.000] I said, you don't know? [01:26:10.000 --> 01:26:11.000] And he went into this. [01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:12.000] He's like, all right. [01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:13.000] Okay. [01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:18.000] And he started to talk down to me and he said, listen, we're going to have a problem here. [01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:21.000] And before the end of the day, you're going to be in handcuff. [01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:23.000] And he said it as an absolute. [01:26:23.000 --> 01:26:27.000] He said it as before the end of the day, you're going to be here in handcuffs. [01:26:27.000 --> 01:26:35.000] And to me, I just – right there I went into like a duress situation because there was already like four or five officers standing around me [01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:41.000] and it was obvious that they manipulated the record so that I was the last one at trial there and I had no witnesses around. [01:26:41.000 --> 01:26:48.000] And I know you would slap me through the phone right now if you could for that, but that was kind of the situation. [01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:54.000] But all the way to the – I just obeyed whatever I had to do to get through that situation because I had other places to be. [01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:59.000] And at the end of the trial, I was – I worked up the courage and I said, you know what? [01:26:59.000 --> 01:27:07.000] The judge asked me, do you have anything else to say after he – you know, he denied my motions out of hand, all that stuff, you know, as they always do. [01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:10.000] But he said, do you have anything else to say? [01:27:10.000 --> 01:27:16.000] And I said, yeah, I just want to say to all these officers right here, right now, that I'm in a situation of duress and I've been – [01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:22.000] I didn't get a right to a fair trial here and I would like to file a criminal complaint against this judge. [01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:25.000] And so that was on the record. [01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:33.000] Well, do a judicial conduct complaint and a criminal complaint and then file the criminal complaint attached to the judicial conduct complaint as well. [01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:34.000] And that's done and done. [01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:35.000] I already did that. [01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:36.000] Okay. [01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:41.000] I actually have an appeal in the works. [01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:47.000] And I'm working on the Kelton method next, you know, climbing up after the DA and if I can get time to do that. [01:27:47.000 --> 01:27:51.000] I just wanted to see what you could comment on that as far as like abusing contempt. [01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:56.000] I mean, from the second he said that, like an absolute, there was no – I didn't want to fight anymore. [01:27:56.000 --> 01:27:59.000] I didn't want to – you know, he said, you're going to jail, basically. [01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:05.000] And well, how are you going to – how is somebody going to have a fair trial after he says, you're going to jail? [01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:06.000] Because I said so. [01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:13.000] Well, you do realize that there in Minnesota, your legislature completely abdicated all authority over the courts [01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:18.000] and basically allow the courts to write the rules and the laws as they go along, right? [01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:19.000] Right. [01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:24.000] And I've been trying to contact you on that because I want to get more specifics into that and address the issue. [01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:31.000] I found one guy up here who I figured you might know him, Don Maschek, but he addressed that issue as well. [01:28:31.000 --> 01:28:36.000] And I'm trying to find more base to address that issue. [01:28:36.000 --> 01:28:38.000] As far as it goes right now, I'm like a ticket magnet. [01:28:38.000 --> 01:28:39.000] I got three tickets. [01:28:39.000 --> 01:28:45.000] So I'm trying to just work through these couple as well as I can. [01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:48.000] I just want to see if you – usually I always got something good to say. [01:28:48.000 --> 01:28:53.000] It seems like a lawful duty to call you and ask your advice when I'm in this situation. [01:28:53.000 --> 01:28:57.000] Well, I hope it's worked out so far. [01:28:57.000 --> 01:29:01.000] But, yeah, in this case, go after him with that judicial conduct complaint. [01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:04.000] How good it will do, I can't even tell you. [01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:11.000] Minnesota is one of those places where you guys have waited way too long to step in and do something about what's being done to you. [01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:16.000] And I can't say many other places are any better, so don't get me wrong. [01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:24.000] But when your legislature basically says we don't care anymore, let the courts figure it out, and the courts become the new legislature, [01:29:24.000 --> 01:29:27.000] oh, man, that's a big problem. [01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:35.000] Well, and that's why I've got your traffic seminar, but there's become a battle of which battle do I pick first because, you know. [01:29:35.000 --> 01:29:40.000] Well, unfortunately, sometimes you've got to fight on multiple fronts to win a war. [01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:42.000] I hear you. [01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:43.000] Yes. [01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:44.000] All right. Hang on, Marty. [01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:45.000] We'll be right back. [01:29:45.000 --> 01:29:46.000] Yeah. [01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:47.000] All right, folks. [01:29:47.000 --> 01:29:48.000] This is Rule of Law Radio. [01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:49.000] Marty is my last caller. [01:29:49.000 --> 01:29:50.000] I need some more. [01:29:50.000 --> 01:30:00.000] 512-646-1984, let's get rocking here. [01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:01.000] Smile. [01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:04.000] Big Brother wants a photo to remember you by. [01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:12.000] Why bother with iris scanning and other biometrics that take time, coercion, or cooperation when a Kodak moment could do the trick? [01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:15.000] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, and I'll tell you more in just a moment. [01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:22.000] Your search engine is watching you, recording all your searches and creating a massive database of your personal information. [01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:23.000] That's creepy. [01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:25.000] But it doesn't have to be that way. [01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:28.000] Startpage.com is the world's most private search engine. [01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:35.000] Startpage doesn't store your IP address, make a record of your searches, or use tracking cookies, and they're third-party certified. [01:30:35.000 --> 01:30:39.000] If you don't like Big Brother spying on you, start over with Startpage. [01:30:39.000 --> 01:30:42.000] Great search results and total privacy.

[01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:51.000] Citizens are not only getting tired of invasive government ID and tracking systems, they're saying hell no to them. [01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:55.000] But the Photon X camera ID system could be difficult to dodge. [01:30:55.000 --> 01:31:02.000] One click of the Air Force's proposed Photon X camera is all you need to create someone's three-dimensional biosignature. [01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:07.000] This biosignature is a headshot that can be used to track the person pretty much anywhere. [01:31:07.000 --> 01:31:09.000] That's troubling, but it gets worse. [01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:13.000] The picture can be snapped from so far away, you might never know what happened. [01:31:13.000 --> 01:31:14.000] This is our country. [01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:17.000] We have a right to say no to these technologies. [01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:23.000] Join me in calling on lawmakers to outlaw the identification and tracking of law-abiding citizens. [01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:24.000] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht.

[01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:09.000] It builds muscle, burns fat, improves digestion, and feeds the entire body the nutrients it needs. [01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:13.000] Did you know the U.S. government banned the hemp plant from growing in the United States [01:32:13.000 --> 01:32:17.000] and classified it as a Schedule I drug to hide it behind the marijuana plant? [01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:23.000] People have been confused about this plant for over 80 years, and many still don't know what hemp is. [01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:27.000] So now you know hemp is not marijuana, and marijuana is not hemp. [01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:30.000] They are different varieties of the same species. [01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:35.000] HempUSA.org wants the world to know these basic facts and to help people understand [01:32:35.000 --> 01:32:39.000] that hemp protein powder is the best kept health secret you need to know about.

[01:33:32.000 --> 01:33:34.000] This is Rule of Law Radio. [01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:37.000] Got a half an hour to go, and I still have only Marty on the line, folks. [01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:38.000] I need some more callers. [01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:42.000] 512-646-1984. [01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:44.000] All right, Marty, go ahead. [01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:45.000] All right. [01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:46.000] So I don't know. [01:33:46.000 --> 01:33:48.000] I just want to see if you could comment about that or not. [01:33:48.000 --> 01:33:49.000] I can comment a lot. [01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:50.000] What good it will do you. [01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:52.000] That's a whole other matter. [01:33:52.000 --> 01:33:53.000] Right, right. [01:33:53.000 --> 01:33:57.000] I need the time to go look and research the case law involving abuse of contempt. [01:33:57.000 --> 01:33:59.000] But to me, there was no question about it. [01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:05.000] I mean, you know, it was just obvious and common sense. [01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:08.000] I didn't have to look in a book to realize it. [01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:12.000] And actually, the police officers there were all kind of like, oh, they were on my side. [01:34:12.000 --> 01:34:17.000] It was kind of funny because I've tried to file criminal complaints before and just, you know, got it thrown back in my face. [01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:20.000] But these guys were helping me out file this. [01:34:20.000 --> 01:34:22.000] And so that was pretty interesting. [01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:25.000] Yeah, they don't like this judge either. [01:34:25.000 --> 01:34:26.000] Right. [01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:28.000] Right. [01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:31.000] So that was an interesting experience. [01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:38.000] I guess there's not much more you can do but complain or whatever and file a criminal complaint. [01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:39.000] Yeah. [01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:40.000] I mean, do what you got to do. [01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:45.000] I'd go with the judicial conduct complaint and I would file the criminal complaint separate, [01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:49.000] but I would attach a copy of it to the judicial conduct complaint. [01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:50.000] Oh, yeah. [01:34:50.000 --> 01:34:51.000] I had to do that. [01:34:51.000 --> 01:34:56.000] Because, I mean, when he threatens you openly in the courtroom like that, that's tampering with a witness. [01:34:56.000 --> 01:34:58.000] That's intimidating a defendant. [01:34:58.000 --> 01:35:01.000] He's not allowed to do that. [01:35:01.000 --> 01:35:04.000] He had no grounds on which to make such a statement. [01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:08.000] None. [01:35:08.000 --> 01:35:14.000] Well, I made sure I got a petition into the district court and the appeals court just to make sure I covered all my bases. [01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.000] I just had to wait for what they say now. [01:35:16.000 --> 01:35:23.000] They actually were kind enough to file my stuff in my common law name versus my legal name. [01:35:23.000 --> 01:35:26.000] And that was interesting too. [01:35:26.000 --> 01:35:29.000] If you got the air time, I've saved up quite a few questions actually. [01:35:29.000 --> 01:35:30.000] I probably got like five. [01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:31.000] I don't remember them all. [01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:34.000] Well, I've actually had a couple other people pop up on the board. [01:35:34.000 --> 01:35:40.000] So if you want to save them for another night or get them to me as, you know, when we can, that would be great. [01:35:40.000 --> 01:35:41.000] Well, that will do. [01:35:41.000 --> 01:35:42.000] That will do. [01:35:42.000 --> 01:35:44.000] Go ahead and address those calls. [01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:52.000] I'll have to get in touch with you about the whole Minnesota judicial system advocating its authority. [01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:53.000] Yeah. [01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:54.000] Okay. [01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:56.000] Go ahead. [01:35:56.000 --> 01:36:04.000] Hopefully I can get back from you on that sometime if you have more links to people up here that are familiar with that. [01:36:04.000 --> 01:36:13.000] The lady that actually brought all that information to our attention, she was fighting a battle up there that she just finally got tired of fighting. [01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:15.000] And I think she packed up and left. [01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:16.000] Gail? [01:36:15.000 --> 01:36:16.000] Yeah. [01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:17.000] Gail. [01:36:17.000 --> 01:36:18.000] Okay, I remember. [01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:19.000] All right. [01:36:19.000 --> 01:36:25.000] I remember like I was looking and you guys said you had the guy on a show talking about that, but maybe it was her instead. [01:36:25.000 --> 01:36:27.000] I'll have to go back and listen to hers then. [01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:28.000] Yeah. [01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:34.000] She was talking about that a lot because she had actually discovered proof of that. [01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:35.000] Okay. [01:36:35.000 --> 01:36:37.000] There's a lawyer up here who wrote a book on it too. [01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:43.000] I'm sure you wouldn't, you might not care to have him on your show, but Dale Nathan wrote a book on Minnesota injustice. [01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:44.000] Yeah. [01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:47.000] We'd love to have him on probably one of these nights. [01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:54.000] I don't know how well it'd fare on this show, but he might do pretty well on Randy's four-hour Friday or on Thursday with he and Deborah. [01:36:54.000 --> 01:36:57.000] And I'd be more than happy to join in in that case, but. [01:36:57.000 --> 01:36:58.000] Yeah. [01:36:58.000 --> 01:36:59.000] I'll send him an email. [01:36:59.000 --> 01:37:00.000] I'll see what he says. [01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:01.000] Okay. [01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:03.000] He didn't respond to me last time, but thanks for your help. [01:37:03.000 --> 01:37:04.000] I'll have to talk again later. [01:37:04.000 --> 01:37:05.000] All right, Marty. [01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:06.000] Thanks for calling in. [01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:07.000] All right. [01:37:07.000 --> 01:37:09.000] Now we're going to go to Rob in Illinois. [01:37:09.000 --> 01:37:11.000] Rob, what can we do for you? [01:37:11.000 --> 01:37:12.000] Hello, Eddie. [01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:17.000] I was wondering if you heard of a man called Carl Lentz? [01:37:17.000 --> 01:37:20.000] Not that I recall. [01:37:20.000 --> 01:37:21.000] Okay. [01:37:21.000 --> 01:37:26.000] I have a website, if I may, put out for him. [01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:31.000] And the information this guy has is phenomenal and it's going to help everybody on this call. [01:37:31.000 --> 01:37:33.000] Is it okay if I give it out real fast? [01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:35.000] Sure, if it's all right with him. [01:37:35.000 --> 01:37:36.000] Okay. [01:37:36.000 --> 01:37:38.000] I believe it would be all right with him. [01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:42.000] The website is, and folks, I'm going to go over just a couple of things here. [01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:46.000] So if it's too fast, you can go back to the recording. [01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:51.000] But the website is broadmind.org. [01:37:51.000 --> 01:37:56.000] That website, again, is broadmind.org. [01:37:56.000 --> 01:37:58.000] And there's a man called Carl Lentz. [01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:00.000] And I had run into him. [01:38:00.000 --> 01:38:02.000] This man right here is my great-grandfather. [01:38:02.000 --> 01:38:03.000] About six months ago. [01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:08.000] No, actually, back in January, earlier this year, I was co-hosting a talk-shoe call. [01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:10.000] And he chimed in. [01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:15.000] And then a couple weeks ago, a friend of mine was listening to him and told me about him again. [01:38:15.000 --> 01:38:17.000] So I went back into this call. [01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:24.000] And I will tell you the night you can go to the talk-shoe call and download it. [01:38:24.000 --> 01:38:33.000] It is September 19, 2013, on Angela's talk-shoe call. That's 399-04. [01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:37.000] That talk-shoe number, again, is 399-04. [01:38:37.000 --> 01:38:42.000] And what this guy has is just absolutely incredible. [01:38:42.000 --> 01:38:44.000] And I'll give you the meat and potatoes right here. [01:38:44.000 --> 01:38:51.000] 20 seconds into the call, he starts talking about the difference between a complaint and a claim. [01:38:51.000 --> 01:38:55.000] A complaint is something you cannot absolutely prove. [01:38:55.000 --> 01:39:01.000] And you don't have any evidence to bring into court and say absolutely that this is true. [01:39:01.000 --> 01:39:05.000] And a claim is there's no doubt about it. [01:39:05.000 --> 01:39:08.000] You are making a claim that you found gold. [01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:10.000] Say, for instance, you found gold. [01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:12.000] And you bring a piece of gold in. [01:39:12.000 --> 01:39:15.000] And you got photographs. [01:39:15.000 --> 01:39:19.000] And then a complaint is you're really not sure. [01:39:19.000 --> 01:39:23.000] So he goes on to say that a claim means you are dead on. [01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:24.000] You believe it's true. [01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:26.000] And you've got the facts to back it up. [01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:31.000] The main thing he goes into court with is he says, I'm a man. [01:39:31.000 --> 01:39:32.000] He doesn't go in as anything else. [01:39:32.000 --> 01:39:36.000] He doesn't go into all this UCC, all the codes, all the ordinances. [01:39:36.000 --> 01:39:39.000] He stays away from that and just goes in as a man. [01:39:39.000 --> 01:39:41.000] Or if you're a woman, you go in as a woman. [01:39:41.000 --> 01:39:45.000] So this is the basic foundation of what he's got here. [01:39:45.000 --> 01:39:46.000] And it's phenomenal. [01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:50.000] And I took 24 pages of notes from that call, Eddie. [01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:52.000] And I will send you those notes. [01:39:52.000 --> 01:39:57.000] And you can read over the notes and then listen if you want at the same time. [01:39:57.000 --> 01:40:03.000] And take it all in and pass it out to anybody else who is interested on the call. [01:40:03.000 --> 01:40:05.000] Because this is just phenomenal. [01:40:05.000 --> 01:40:08.000] And this ties into everything that I was doing before. [01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:13.000] And it's amazing how people like you, Eddie, have come into my life, Carl Lentz, and all these other people. [01:40:13.000 --> 01:40:18.000] We're going to nail this thing down very soon with this information that he's got in there. [01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:23.000] And I appreciate you allowing me on the call to spread this wonderful news. [01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:30.000] Well, that ain't a problem, as long as it turns out to not be another one of those ethereal things that gets people nowhere. [01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:31.000] Okay. [01:40:31.000 --> 01:40:32.000] Well, I appreciate the call, Rob. [01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:33.000] Anything else? [01:40:33.000 --> 01:40:34.000] Eddie, yeah, one other thing. [01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:36.000] He had Dean Clifford on the call. [01:40:36.000 --> 01:40:38.000] I don't know if you've heard of him at all. [01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:40.000] Yeah, I know who Dean Clifford is. [01:40:40.000 --> 01:40:43.000] Okay, well, Dean Clifford's got a lot of good ideas and stuff. [01:40:43.000 --> 01:40:46.000] And I think he said that he's starting to lean a lot towards Carl Lentz. [01:40:46.000 --> 01:40:54.000] But the one thing Dean Clifford was saying in that September 19th call that I disagree with, he says that you have the right to drive. [01:40:54.000 --> 01:40:58.000] And I believe that you have the right to travel, but not the right to drive. [01:40:58.000 --> 01:41:03.000] So maybe that is the only one thing that I heard him say that might need to be clarified. [01:41:03.000 --> 01:41:11.000] Yeah, well, the thing there is when they argue that, that's okay as long as they set the context of what they mean by drive. [01:41:11.000 --> 01:41:14.000] In the common vernacular, he is correct. [01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:19.000] In the legal vernacular, he is dead wrong. [01:41:19.000 --> 01:41:20.000] Yeah. [01:41:20.000 --> 01:41:28.000] It is the context in which you're applying that terminology that makes the difference as to whether it is properly used or not. [01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:39.000] And in order, and since they intentionally made it deceptive by making it appear to be exactly the same thing, even though it's not, the appearance of it is how we got in this mess. [01:41:39.000 --> 01:41:49.000] So it's best, in my opinion, just to differentiate between them by not using it at all. [01:41:49.000 --> 01:41:50.000] Yeah, I agree. [01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:52.000] Just keep it as simple as possible as that. [01:41:52.000 --> 01:41:53.000] That's the key, right? [01:41:53.000 --> 01:41:54.000] Correct. [01:41:54.000 --> 01:42:02.000] Make sure that we draw the distinction between how they're intentionally using it versus how we're intentionally using it. [01:42:02.000 --> 01:42:03.000] Yep. [01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:07.000] It's like another guy taught me some of the ropes on contracting. [01:42:07.000 --> 01:42:11.000] And if somebody is coming at you, they have to tell you what rules they're going by. [01:42:11.000 --> 01:42:18.000] And if they refuse to tell you what rules they're going by, then you tell them what rules you are going by. [01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:22.000] And I think that's another key issue to a lot of this. [01:42:22.000 --> 01:42:29.000] Well, provided they want to play that game, like I say, they will do what they want because they believe they can. [01:42:29.000 --> 01:42:36.000] And as long as you're fighting a system, the system will protect itself. [01:42:36.000 --> 01:42:43.000] It's when you start dismantling the system where it can't do that that you're going to be successful with it. [01:42:43.000 --> 01:42:54.000] And unfortunately, governmental systems have never gone quietly nor have they ever gone willingly. [01:42:54.000 --> 01:42:56.000] Kind of need to be pushed off the cliff. [01:42:56.000 --> 01:42:59.000] Something like that. [01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:00.000] I agree. [01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:01.000] Okay. [01:43:01.000 --> 01:43:02.000] Thank you, Eddie. [01:43:02.000 --> 01:43:07.000] Thank you for being on the call and being out there and helping everybody. [01:43:07.000 --> 01:43:15.000] Words can't even put into – I can't even put into words how much what you're doing is appreciated by the people out here. [01:43:15.000 --> 01:43:16.000] Well, I appreciate that. [01:43:16.000 --> 01:43:17.000] Thanks. [01:43:17.000 --> 01:43:18.000] You're welcome. [01:43:18.000 --> 01:43:19.000] All right, Rob. [01:43:19.000 --> 01:43:20.000] Thanks for calling in. [01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:21.000] Okay. [01:43:21.000 --> 01:43:22.000] Sure, Eddie. [01:43:22.000 --> 01:43:23.000] All right. [01:43:23.000 --> 01:43:26.000] Now we've got one other caller on the line, and we're about to go to another break. [01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:30.000] So, T, I will take you when we get back from this upcoming break here in just a minute. [01:43:30.000 --> 01:43:32.000] Folks, call-in number. [01:43:32.000 --> 01:43:33.000] I've got one segment left. [01:43:33.000 --> 01:43:35.000] I don't know how long T is going to be. [01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:37.000] He might be able to squeeze in one more caller. [01:43:37.000 --> 01:43:45.000] So, just in case, let's get at least somebody else on the line, 512-646-1984, and we will go from there. [01:43:45.000 --> 01:44:00.000] All right, T, hang on, and I'll pick you up on the other side, man. [01:44:00.000 --> 01:44:04.000] You feel tired when talking about important topics like money and politics? [01:44:04.000 --> 01:44:05.000] Sure, Eddie. [01:44:05.000 --> 01:44:07.000] Are you confused by words like the Constitution or the Federal Reserve? [01:44:07.000 --> 01:44:08.000] What? [01:44:08.000 --> 01:44:12.000] If so, you may be diagnosed with the deadliest disease known today, stupidity. [01:44:12.000 --> 01:44:19.000] Hi, my name is Steve Holt, and like millions of other Americans, I was diagnosed with stupidity at an early age. [01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:25.000] I had no idea that the number one cause of the disease is found in almost every home in America, the television. [01:44:25.000 --> 01:44:30.000] Unfortunately, that puts most Americans at risk of catching stupidity, but there is hope. [01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:36.000] The staff at Brave New Books have helped me and thousands of other Foxaholics suffering from sports zombieism recover. [01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:43.000] And because of Brave New Books, I now enjoy reading and watching educational documentaries without feeling tired or uninterested. [01:44:43.000 --> 01:44:55.000] So if you or anybody you know suffers from stupidity, then you need to call 512-480-2503 or visit them at 1904Guadalupe or bravenewbookstore.com.

[01:45:01.000 --> 01:45:04.000] Are you the plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit?

Rule of Law Radio 512-646-1984. We have Tee in Texas. Tee, what's up? [01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:28.000] What's up, Randy? [01:46:28.000 --> 01:46:32.000] You are no better than that now. [01:46:32.000 --> 01:46:38.000] Yeah, I'm no better. I won't take long in this case, so you might as well get in here. [01:46:38.000 --> 01:46:46.000] Again, on a motion, I guess when you pretty much wrap it up and you respectfully submit it, [01:46:46.000 --> 01:46:54.000] is it a necessity to have your name and address and signature after that? [01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:57.000] Okay, wait. Say it one more time. [01:46:57.000 --> 01:46:59.000] You know when the document ends? [01:46:59.000 --> 01:47:00.000] Yeah. [01:47:00.000 --> 01:47:03.000] And it says respectfully submit it. [01:47:03.000 --> 01:47:04.000] Right. [01:47:04.000 --> 01:47:09.000] Is it necessary to have your name and address along with a signature there? [01:47:09.000 --> 01:47:10.000] Yeah. [01:47:10.000 --> 01:47:13.000] Okay. [01:47:13.000 --> 01:47:16.000] Now, some of these, the signature is the verification. [01:47:16.000 --> 01:47:25.000] If the filing is one that's meant to be notarized, then you simply sign it on the verification, not up there in the other part. [01:47:25.000 --> 01:47:26.000] Okay. [01:47:26.000 --> 01:47:32.000] There shouldn't be a place to sign it up there in the other part if you're doing a verified pleading. [01:47:32.000 --> 01:47:34.000] Okay, cool. [01:47:34.000 --> 01:47:47.000] And can you elaborate on what is dated and attested officially by the authority issuing the claim? [01:47:47.000 --> 01:47:52.000] Well, the dated and attested will be you and the notary. [01:47:52.000 --> 01:47:58.000] You've got your notary verification, they're the ones that's verifying the pleading when you sign it. [01:47:58.000 --> 01:48:01.000] So you've got your signature and the date you signed it, [01:48:01.000 --> 01:48:11.000] and then you've got the verification date when the notary notarized and signed it, and they should match. [01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:17.000] Well, I guess I mean when it pertains to a summons. [01:48:17.000 --> 01:48:18.000] To a summons? [01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:24.000] Right, I guess the provisions of Article 23.02. [01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:28.000] Are you talking about one you received or one you're trying to send out? [01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:29.000] Received. [01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:30.000] Okay. [01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:32.000] What about it? [01:48:32.000 --> 01:48:39.000] Yeah, I guess that'd be dated and attested officially by, I guess, the judge. [01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:42.000] Well, again, it depends on where you're reading. [01:48:42.000 --> 01:48:48.000] You've got the actual summons that's issued by a court and a proper authority signed by a proper officer. [01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:49.000] Right. [01:48:49.000 --> 01:48:50.000] Okay. [01:48:50.000 --> 01:48:56.000] If this was a subpoena, for instance, it would have a second part at the bottom that is called the return, [01:48:56.000 --> 01:49:01.000] and that has to be filled out by the person that served it, that they did serve it, [01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:07.000] they certified that they served it, and they sent that bottom portion back to the court. [01:49:07.000 --> 01:49:15.000] So you've got the different verifications you would need, but on a summons, the criteria of 23 is that it's got to be signed, [01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:21.000] it's got to have a seal, it's got to be sent out, and it's got to look just like a capious warrant, [01:49:21.000 --> 01:49:26.000] except in the body where it would normally order a peace officer to arrest a person, [01:49:26.000 --> 01:49:31.000] it's directed to the person being summoned and telling them to appear before the court [01:49:31.000 --> 01:49:38.000] or to challenge the court for cause and authority on why they should not appear. [01:49:38.000 --> 01:49:39.000] All right. [01:49:39.000 --> 01:49:41.000] That's it. [01:49:41.000 --> 01:49:42.000] All right. [01:49:42.000 --> 01:49:43.000] I appreciate it, man. [01:49:43.000 --> 01:49:44.000] All right. [01:49:44.000 --> 01:49:45.000] Not a problem. [01:49:45.000 --> 01:49:46.000] All right. [01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:47.000] All right. [01:49:47.000 --> 01:49:48.000] Okay. [01:49:48.000 --> 01:49:52.000] He was my last caller, and I got not quite nine minutes left on this here show. [01:49:52.000 --> 01:49:56.000] I could use another caller, or you can just sit here and listen to me, whichever way that may be, [01:49:56.000 --> 01:49:58.000] but I could wind up just snorting in the background. [01:49:58.000 --> 01:49:59.000] Who knows? [01:49:59.000 --> 01:50:00.000] All right. [01:50:00.000 --> 01:50:05.000] Now, folks, not to sound disheartening or anything of that nature, [01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:13.000] but what you don't know in the world we have today can and will hurt you. [01:50:13.000 --> 01:50:16.000] Ignorance is no longer an option. [01:50:16.000 --> 01:50:20.000] It might be a choice, but it ain't really an option. [01:50:20.000 --> 01:50:25.000] You can choose to play the ostrich with your head in the sand, but let me tell you, [01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:31.000] all you're doing is making it easier for the lion to sneak up on you, plain and simple. [01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:33.000] He's not going to ignore you. [01:50:33.000 --> 01:50:36.000] You're dinner, okay? [01:50:36.000 --> 01:50:42.000] So the fact that you choose not to see the danger that ends you doesn't make it any less dangerous [01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:45.000] or any less likely to happen. [01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:47.000] It's time to wake up. [01:50:47.000 --> 01:50:49.000] It's time to get active. [01:50:49.000 --> 01:50:53.000] It's time to take action, okay? [01:50:53.000 --> 01:50:55.000] Become involved. [01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:56.000] Learn what is happening. [01:50:56.000 --> 01:51:02.000] Learn why it is happening, and learn what you can or should be doing about it, [01:51:02.000 --> 01:51:09.000] because there's a lot of stuff going on that is leading us down a very, very dark path, [01:51:09.000 --> 01:51:11.000] and it ain't good. [01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:14.000] Not in any way, shape, or form is it good. [01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:15.000] Wow. [01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:18.000] And now all of a sudden with like seven minutes left, [01:51:18.000 --> 01:51:20.000] I get a ton of people up on the board, [01:51:20.000 --> 01:51:25.000] and I don't know if any of them has had a chance to be screened yet. [01:51:25.000 --> 01:51:26.000] All right. [01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:30.000] So given that, I'm just going to go ahead and try to take some calls. [01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:31.000] Remember the rules, folks. [01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:35.000] Obviously these folks have called in before because they already got names and everything on them, [01:51:35.000 --> 01:51:38.000] so remember the rules from your prior call-in. [01:51:38.000 --> 01:51:39.000] Don't curse. [01:51:39.000 --> 01:51:41.000] Don't get out of hand on the air, or I will pay for it, [01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:44.000] and then Debra will block you, and you'll pay for it. [01:51:44.000 --> 01:51:45.000] All right. [01:51:45.000 --> 01:51:48.000] Jason in Texas, what can we do for you? [01:51:48.000 --> 01:51:49.000] Hey, Eddie. [01:51:49.000 --> 01:51:52.000] Speaking of taking action, I feel like custom with the topic I'm going to bring up, [01:51:52.000 --> 01:51:54.000] but nevertheless I won't. [01:51:54.000 --> 01:51:59.000] Tomorrow the City of Corpus Christi is planning on, the City Council, I should say, [01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:03.000] is planning on enacting a distracted driver ordinance, [01:52:03.000 --> 01:52:08.000] and the gist of it is that they don't want you to have a cell phone in your hand. [01:52:08.000 --> 01:52:11.000] Of course, I understand that that doesn't apply to me [01:52:11.000 --> 01:52:14.000] because I'm not an employee or a contractor, [01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:17.000] and I also understand that I'm not a driver. [01:52:17.000 --> 01:52:21.000] However, they, as well as the police chief, this was really the police chief's doing. [01:52:21.000 --> 01:52:27.000] It was his big push, and it's obvious to me and everybody who's awake to this stuff, [01:52:27.000 --> 01:52:32.000] it's just another tool that they can use to gain, you know, quote, unquote, [01:52:32.000 --> 01:52:40.000] like he says, probable cause to pull people over for the purpose of generating ticket after ticket. [01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:42.000] You know, they usually stop you for one issue, and before you know it, [01:52:42.000 --> 01:52:44.000] you've got three or four tickets going. [01:52:44.000 --> 01:52:45.000] Okay. [01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:47.000] Let me make a suggestion. [01:52:47.000 --> 01:52:52.000] And, folks, this is what I was talking about, taking action and getting involved. [01:52:52.000 --> 01:53:02.000] Here's what I would do if I were you guys in a place where this type of idiotic invasion of privacy is occurring. [01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:08.000] I would get me something that looks just like a phone, but isn't. [01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:10.000] Okay? [01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:12.000] I would get me a piece of cardboard. [01:53:12.000 --> 01:53:19.000] I would make me a little bitty thin box that looks just like a phone painted the whole nine yards. [01:53:19.000 --> 01:53:24.000] And I'd tool around the road with it stuck to my head. [01:53:24.000 --> 01:53:28.000] And there are these people to pull me over for use of an electronic device. [01:53:28.000 --> 01:53:31.000] That's what I was – we're on the same wavelength. [01:53:31.000 --> 01:53:37.000] And what I was really going to see is that – do you see it – my first instinct was to go down to City Council tomorrow [01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:40.000] and start telling them how and when and why they're wrong. [01:53:40.000 --> 01:53:43.000] But I realized that, you know, they're not there to listen to anybody. [01:53:43.000 --> 01:53:45.000] They're going to do what they want to do. [01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:50.000] So do you see it as even worth going down there and making the point [01:53:50.000 --> 01:53:54.000] or just doing like you're saying and basically let them do what they're going to do? [01:53:54.000 --> 01:53:56.000] No, I'd make the point anyway. [01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:59.000] And then I'd tell them exactly what they're going to do. [01:53:59.000 --> 01:54:02.000] And then here's what you want to catch them in the act of doing. [01:54:02.000 --> 01:54:07.000] You want to have them turn around and say, well, we'll just go ahead and charge somebody for doing such and such [01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:12.000] if they attempt to violate the law by acting like they're on a cell phone. [01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:14.000] We'll go ahead and charge them anyway and blah, blah, blah. [01:54:14.000 --> 01:54:18.000] And we'll write the ordinance to deal with that specifically. [01:54:18.000 --> 01:54:28.000] Now explain to me how that protects the officer from the requirement of probable cause. [01:54:28.000 --> 01:54:35.000] How can the officer have probable cause to charge you with a crime for something that cannot possibly be a crime? [01:54:35.000 --> 01:54:37.000] All right. [01:54:37.000 --> 01:54:41.000] And I actually thought about taking a painted woodblock out of my pocket at the city council meeting [01:54:41.000 --> 01:54:44.000] and ask them what I'm doing with it and then show them that it's a block of wood. [01:54:44.000 --> 01:54:48.000] We're on the same wavelength as far as that goes. [01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:52.000] So okay, well, I'll try to get down there and make the point. [01:54:52.000 --> 01:54:56.000] They do like to have these things at noon during the middle of a workday, you know. [01:54:56.000 --> 01:54:59.000] Yeah, I would actually throw up in the middle of that and say, [01:54:59.000 --> 01:55:04.000] where do you get the idea that you're actually able to create a law out of this? [01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:09.000] And bring up the issue about you understand that an ordinance is not enacted by the legislature. [01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:11.000] It's enacted by you morons, right? [01:55:11.000 --> 01:55:17.000] Yeah, and they're very loosely throwing a wire around those words in act and law [01:55:17.000 --> 01:55:21.000] and all these words that obviously they don't understand what the meaning is or they wouldn't be using them. [01:55:21.000 --> 01:55:22.000] Exactly. [01:55:22.000 --> 01:55:30.000] I would go ahead and print out Article 3 of the Texas Constitution, sections 29 through 36, and ask them, [01:55:30.000 --> 01:55:36.000] could you please tell me whether or not this so-called ordinance will originate in either house of the legislature? [01:55:36.000 --> 01:55:46.000] Can you tell me whether or not it will be submitted by bill to be talked about on the floor of either house over three several days? [01:55:46.000 --> 01:55:52.000] Can you tell me whether or not it will bear the governor's signature once you allegedly enact it? [01:55:52.000 --> 01:55:55.000] It'd probably just be silence and blank stares. [01:55:55.000 --> 01:55:57.000] Yeah, exactly. [01:55:57.000 --> 01:56:02.000] And then you can say, if you manage to get through all of it, say, okay, well, here's your problem, see, [01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:08.000] according to what I just read, that is the criteria for a law in Texas. [01:56:08.000 --> 01:56:12.000] So obviously what you're doing is not a law. [01:56:12.000 --> 01:56:20.000] So even if you enact this, the moment you ticket somebody that's not a commercial driver, [01:56:20.000 --> 01:56:31.000] they can sue you and the city and the cop because you used a corporate rule against a non-corporate entity [01:56:31.000 --> 01:56:37.000] and tried to force them to comply with it, and you have no authority to do that. [01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:45.000] So I guess what they're trying to do is fly under, I believe it's 545.424 of the transportation code, [01:56:45.000 --> 01:56:51.000] and that states the municipality can regulate the use of a wireless device within their jurisdiction. [01:56:51.000 --> 01:56:54.000] Well, again, transportation applies to what? [01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:55.000] Right, driving. [01:56:55.000 --> 01:56:56.000] Exactly. [01:56:56.000 --> 01:56:59.000] So it goes right with what I just said. [01:56:59.000 --> 01:57:01.000] All right. [01:57:01.000 --> 01:57:02.000] I just want to make sure. [01:57:02.000 --> 01:57:04.000] Yeah, and I'd say, you know what I'm going to do? [01:57:04.000 --> 01:57:06.000] I'm going to start my own little side business. [01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:12.000] I'm going to make these little woodblock cell phones, and I'm going to sell them for 50 cents. [01:57:12.000 --> 01:57:20.000] And then when you start ticketing these people, I'm going to give them all the paperwork necessary to sue the crap out of you. [01:57:20.000 --> 01:57:25.000] Well, in that regard, do you have time to give some advice? [01:57:25.000 --> 01:57:30.000] Well, that all depends on how much and how often. [01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:31.000] Oh, that'll work. [01:57:31.000 --> 01:57:34.000] Well, I'll try to make it down there. [01:57:34.000 --> 01:57:39.000] If not, I'm definitely going to give them a written testimony to be bidding the record. [01:57:39.000 --> 01:57:40.000] Okay. [01:57:40.000 --> 01:57:45.000] All right, Jason, thanks for calling in. [01:57:45.000 --> 01:57:47.000] Oh, all right, guys, sorry. [01:57:47.000 --> 01:57:48.000] That is it. [01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:50.000] We are out of time. [01:57:50.000 --> 01:57:54.000] Rob, Fred, I appreciate y'all calling in to help us get some people on the air. [01:57:54.000 --> 01:58:00.000] And I am sorry that it took so long for us to get this far, but we are about to disappear for the evening. [01:58:00.000 --> 01:58:02.000] Thank you, folks, so much for calling in. [01:58:02.000 --> 01:58:04.000] Thank you so much for listening. [01:58:04.000 --> 01:58:08.000] That is so appreciated by me and by us in general. [01:58:08.000 --> 01:58:11.000] Please remember, we still need your financial support here. [01:58:11.000 --> 01:58:18.000] I still need computer fund help and everything to get this thing back up in a completely operational state. [01:58:18.000 --> 01:58:22.000] It's getting very, very hairy having to do some of the important stuff just on my laptop. [01:58:22.000 --> 01:58:28.000] So please, folks, if you can, go to the rule of law website and make a donation directly to me to help with the computer replacement. [01:58:28.000 --> 01:58:31.000] And don't forget to support the network as a whole. [01:58:31.000 --> 01:58:33.000] Thank y'all so much for being here tonight. [01:58:33.000 --> 01:58:50.000] Have a great week, good night, and God bless you all.
