[00:00.000 --> 00:04.440] This news brief brought to you by the International Newsnet.
[00:04.440 --> 00:09.720] Almost 7,000 Syrians have crossed the country's northern border with Turkey to escape government
[00:09.720 --> 00:13.320] violence in suppressing anti-regime demonstrations.
[00:13.320 --> 00:17.840] An estimated 10,000 more are waiting for the opportunities across.
[00:17.840 --> 00:22.520] Syrian refugees who have fled the army assault on the town of Jisho al-Shogur said Monday
[00:22.520 --> 00:28.520] troops had begun fighting among themselves in the midst of military operations.
[00:28.520 --> 00:33.800] Syrian Premier Silvio Berlusconi conceded Monday Italy which abandoned nuclear power
[00:33.800 --> 00:38.760] after the Chernobyl disaster will probably have to give up its plans to revive nuclear
[00:38.760 --> 00:39.760] energy.
[00:39.760 --> 00:45.040] Italian voters Sunday and Monday voted in referendums to block a revival of nuclear
[00:45.040 --> 00:51.000] power and privatize the water supply and against a law that offers Berlusconi a partial
[00:51.000 --> 00:55.000] legal shield and criminal prosecutions.
[00:55.000 --> 00:59.840] Bahrain received over 200 million dollars in military equipment from US companies between
[00:59.840 --> 01:03.080] October 2009 and October 2010.
[01:03.080 --> 01:08.200] The latest State Department arms export report shows it was more than double the amount approved
[01:08.200 --> 01:09.680] the previous year.
[01:09.680 --> 01:14.760] Bahrain's security forces have fired live ammunition at protesters killing at least
[01:14.760 --> 01:21.000] 31 people and injuring hundreds more since the unrest began in February.
[01:21.000 --> 01:26.240] Weeks before announcing his reelection campaign Barack Obama invited two dozen Wall Street
[01:26.240 --> 01:30.600] executives many of them longtime donors to the White House.
[01:30.600 --> 01:35.240] Guests were asked for their opinions on the economic recovery and how they preferred to
[01:35.240 --> 01:36.400] be regulated.
[01:36.400 --> 01:40.760] The event kicked off in aggressive push by Obama to win the allegiance of one of his
[01:40.760 --> 01:44.040] most vital sources of campaign cash.
[01:44.040 --> 01:49.600] Last month Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina traveled to New York for back to back meetings
[01:49.600 --> 01:51.640] with Wall Street donors.
[01:51.640 --> 01:56.280] Obama will travel to New York this month to dine with bankers, hedge fund executives and
[01:56.280 --> 01:58.520] private equity investors.
[01:58.520 --> 02:04.760] Obama is poised to win in 2012 given the public's lack luster support for Republicans and minuscule
[02:04.760 --> 02:06.560] third party opposition.
[02:06.560 --> 02:11.520] Nicholas Confessori writes in the New York Times quote the question is not how much Obama
[02:11.520 --> 02:17.800] may raise from Wall Street the question is what do they get in return.
[02:17.800 --> 02:22.800] 40 years after the explosive leak of the Pentagon papers a secret government study chronicling
[02:22.800 --> 02:28.240] deception and misadventure in the US conduct of the Vietnam War was published Monday.
[02:28.240 --> 02:33.480] The report was a sensational breach of government confidentiality that took Richard Nixon's
[02:33.480 --> 02:34.480] presidency.
[02:34.480 --> 02:38.440] Prepared by Pentagon and private analysts the report was leaked by one of them Daniel
[02:38.440 --> 02:42.800] Ellsberg in one of the most dramatic episodes of whistleblowing in US history.
[02:42.800 --> 02:47.360] The papers revealed that the Kennedy and Johnson administrations had been escalating the conflict
[02:47.360 --> 02:54.360] in Vietnam while misleading Congress and the public about their activities.
[03:17.360 --> 03:24.360] All right folks good evening it is rule of law radio Monday night and it is time for
[03:47.360 --> 03:53.360] it is June 20th 2011 tonight is traffic night we're going to start off taking your calls
[03:53.360 --> 04:02.480] after this first quarter hour here the call in number is 512-646-1984 so if you have any
[04:02.480 --> 04:05.960] issues or anything you want to talk with us about go ahead and get in line on the collar
[04:05.960 --> 04:10.840] board right now I'm going to start off I'm going to go into a little bit of a dissertation
[04:10.840 --> 04:16.440] on a particular article of the code of criminal procedure and that is going to be article
[04:16.440 --> 04:26.680] 27.14 now what this section is entitled is plea of guilty or no no contender in a misdemeanor
[04:26.680 --> 04:42.280] okay now this thing has section A B C D and E all of which deals with misdemeanor offenses
[04:42.280 --> 04:50.880] and all but one of which deal with misdemeanors in a fine only offense and that would be section
[04:50.880 --> 04:59.800] B okay C D and E is actually dealing with before accepting a plea of guilty or a plea
[04:59.800 --> 05:05.280] of no no contender by a defendant charged with misdemeanor involving family violence
[05:05.280 --> 05:11.840] okay so that has to do with a family violence misdemeanor everything else is geared toward
[05:11.840 --> 05:20.440] fine only except for subsection A which specifically deals with any other type of misdemeanor now
[05:20.440 --> 05:26.280] subsection B begins with a defendant charged with a misdemeanor for which the maximum
[05:26.280 --> 05:33.720] possible punishment is by fine only may in lieu of the method provided in subsection
[05:33.720 --> 05:40.240] A of this article mail or deliver in person to the court a plea of guilty or a plea of
[05:40.240 --> 05:48.200] no no contender and a waiver of jury trial the defendant may also request in writing
[05:48.200 --> 05:54.160] that the court notify the defendant at the address stated in the request of the amount
[05:54.160 --> 05:59.960] of an appeal bond that the court will approve if the court receives a plea and waiver before
[05:59.960 --> 06:05.440] the time the defendant is scheduled to appear in court the court shall dispose of the case
[06:05.440 --> 06:10.800] without requiring a court appearance by the defendant if the court receives a plea and
[06:10.800 --> 06:15.320] waiver after the time the defendant is scheduled to appear in court but at least five days
[06:15.320 --> 06:20.440] before a scheduled trial date the court shall dispose of the case without requiring court
[06:20.440 --> 06:25.800] appearance by the defendant the court shall notify the defendant either in person or by
[06:25.800 --> 06:31.040] certified mail return receipt requested of the amount of any fine assessed in the case
[06:31.040 --> 06:36.800] and if requested by the defendant the amount of an appeal bond that the court will approve
[06:36.800 --> 06:41.600] the defendant shall pay any fine assessed or given appeal bond in the amount stated in
[06:41.600 --> 06:50.800] the notice before the 31st day after receiving the notice now basically subsection B allows
[06:50.800 --> 06:58.040] the individual to just simply plead guilty and pay the fine by mail but here's the odd
[06:58.040 --> 07:07.600] part it makes this provision for the court to notify the individual of what an acceptable
[07:07.600 --> 07:16.440] appeal bond would be so I have a question how do you appeal from a guilty verdict what
[07:16.440 --> 07:23.200] would be the point why would you go on appeal when the appeals court is going to look at
[07:23.200 --> 07:29.520] the record and say you pled guilty stupid why are you here what are you appealing you
[07:29.520 --> 07:38.040] voluntarily waived all right to trial there is no record for us to review on appeal what
[07:38.040 --> 07:46.960] are you doing here how exactly is this provision supposed to work if you pay the fine there
[07:46.960 --> 07:54.800] is no appeal the courts have already ruled in many different cases that once you pay
[07:54.800 --> 08:03.840] the fine there's nothing left to adjudicate you that we asked no appeal is possible it's
[08:03.840 --> 08:14.560] over by the same token appeal can only be had if there's a record and by doing everything
[08:14.560 --> 08:23.480] by mail never making a record in court and by pleading guilty or no little contender
[08:23.480 --> 08:33.920] meaning no contest what record is there to review on appeal B looks like it just a complete
[08:33.920 --> 08:40.240] setup to make you pay them bond money which they will of course set it twice the amount
[08:40.240 --> 08:45.680] of the alleged fines and they will sit there on that money and use it for their own advantages
[08:45.680 --> 08:50.920] and investments the whole time they're holding it while you're sitting here waiting on an
[08:50.920 --> 09:00.000] appeal that's never going to happen so what idiot comprise subsection B based upon the
[09:00.000 --> 09:08.000] way the courts have ruled this operates you can't go to appeal without a record you wave
[09:08.000 --> 09:13.520] the right to a record because you waived the right to trial in subsection B how is that
[09:13.520 --> 09:21.560] going to work so let's go down to subsection C see if this improves at all in a misdemeanor
[09:21.560 --> 09:28.800] case for which the maximum possible punishment is by fine only payment of a fine or an amount
[09:28.800 --> 09:35.840] accepted by the court constitutes a finding of guilty in open court as though a plea of
[09:35.840 --> 09:41.880] no little contender had been entered by the defendant and constitutes a waiver of a jury
[09:41.880 --> 09:51.120] trial in writing so C waves your right to a jury trial it is an adjudication of guilt
[09:51.120 --> 10:01.960] in open court okay so again what's the appealable issue you wave the right to the jury trial
[10:01.960 --> 10:08.800] they didn't actually hold a trial and again the finding is guilty there's nothing for
[10:08.800 --> 10:16.920] the appeals court to look at where are you supposed to go from here this takes us down
[10:16.920 --> 10:26.840] to subsection D if written notice of an offense for which maximum possible punishment is by
[10:26.840 --> 10:34.680] fine only or of a violation relating to the manner time and place of parking has been
[10:34.680 --> 10:43.280] prepared they're referring to the citation the written notice serves as a complaint to
[10:43.280 --> 10:53.320] which the defendant may plead guilty not guilty or no little contender again slight problem
[10:53.320 --> 11:00.920] they're attempting to let the citation serve as a complaint how is this legally lawfully
[11:00.920 --> 11:10.080] possible first off it's not sworn to so how can the legislature authorize it to act as
[11:10.080 --> 11:20.080] a complaint it's not sworn to it's not a affirmed by anyone else that it's sworn to how does
[11:20.080 --> 11:30.440] it even begin to constitute a complaint okay however and again if you're going to plead
[11:30.440 --> 11:35.520] not guilty this next sentence kicks in so let's go to that for just a second look at
[11:35.520 --> 11:45.520] this if the defendant pleads not guilty to the offense or fails to appear based on the
[11:45.520 --> 11:52.600] written notice remember that promise to appear they make you sign this is specifically addressing
[11:52.600 --> 12:03.560] if you fail to appear on the notice okay a complaint shall be filed that conforms to
[12:03.560 --> 12:10.880] the requirements of chapter 45 of this code and that complaints serves as an original
[12:10.880 --> 12:18.560] complaint I'm left with a question here a complaint filed on which issue the failure
[12:18.560 --> 12:25.400] to appear or the alleged cause of action in the citation what complaint are they going
[12:25.400 --> 12:35.000] to file without the complaint a charging instrument cannot be generated if a charging instrument
[12:35.000 --> 12:41.880] cannot be generated pursuant 2.05 code of criminal procedure 27.01 code of criminal
[12:41.880 --> 12:53.360] procedure Texas Constitution article 5 section 21 I'm sorry 12 B how did the court get jurisdiction
[12:53.360 --> 12:58.280] to accept the plea of any kind there's no issue before the court because there's no
[12:58.280 --> 13:04.520] signed and verified complaint and if there's no signed and verified complaint which means
[13:04.520 --> 13:12.000] that they sworn to complaint then you can't generate the charging instrument the citation
[13:12.000 --> 13:22.320] slash notice to appear in no way constitutes a signed and sworn complaint so what kind
[13:22.320 --> 13:30.800] of due process end run is the legislature attempting to create here we need to ask that
[13:30.800 --> 13:38.240] question because what this indicates to me personally is that the legislature has attempted
[13:38.240 --> 13:47.480] to allow the municipalities and the JP courts to completely circumvent due process procedures
[13:47.480 --> 13:56.760] and valid jurisdiction of the courts to conserve expenditures and thus increase the generation
[13:56.760 --> 14:04.040] of revenue from the citation process itself I really don't see how else we can look at
[14:04.040 --> 14:12.560] what this is doing because this is all meant to cut down on the involvement of the prosecuting
[14:12.560 --> 14:19.440] attorneys the involvement of anything other than the clerical staff including the involvement
[14:19.440 --> 14:28.040] of the magistrate themselves to an absolute minimum so that the expenditure of processing
[14:28.040 --> 14:35.840] the citation does not exceed the amount of money that can be collected through the other
[14:35.840 --> 14:44.480] means available to them here both the fines the court cost and everything else now let's
[14:44.480 --> 14:50.720] also not forget the state is going to assess a minimum of two hundred and fifty dollars
[14:50.720 --> 15:02.800] a year for the next three years against this conviction of guilty okay so either way the
[15:02.800 --> 15:12.600] state's getting 750 bucks out of this in addition to their cut of the fine the court is going
[15:12.600 --> 15:22.480] to make its court cost assessment out of this plus its cut of the fine so folks if you think
[15:22.480 --> 15:29.440] this system is not about revenue generation you're not paying attention to the particulars
[15:29.440 --> 15:35.960] of how they function and this folks is one of those particulars let's look at the last
[15:35.960 --> 15:42.000] sentence in this okay now we've got our I'm sorry we'll start that one again if the defendant
[15:42.000 --> 15:49.720] pleads not guilty to the offense or fails to appear based on the written notice then
[15:49.720 --> 15:55.760] we're going to generate a complaint and that complaint shall be the original complaint and
[15:55.760 --> 16:04.000] it has to conform to the requirements of chapter 45 now the last sentence reads a defendant
[16:04.000 --> 16:10.880] may waive the filing of a sworn complaint and elect that the prosecution proceed on
[16:10.880 --> 16:19.360] the written notice of the charge defense if the defendant agrees in writing with the prosecution
[16:19.360 --> 16:27.920] signs the agreement and files it with the court now this last sentence is very important
[16:27.920 --> 16:34.980] because this means that they can no longer proceed on this prosecution or the acceptance
[16:34.980 --> 16:45.160] of a plea just upon the citation alone without this written waiver from the defendant that
[16:45.160 --> 16:50.120] becomes a due process issue folks but we'll pick that up on the other side right now this

[19:58.200 --> 20:06.120] dissertation on twenty seven point one four of the code of criminal procedure now d is
[20:06.120 --> 20:11.920] giving us a very important insight into something that are attempting to do here they're attempting
[20:11.920 --> 20:23.160] to allow the court to act absent proper lawful jurisdiction to facilitate the process of fine
[20:23.160 --> 20:35.400] collection with a minimum of expenditure okay that's all this section appears to do whatsoever
[20:35.400 --> 20:42.760] it'll it allows the court to function as if they have jurisdiction when no legal issue
[20:42.760 --> 20:54.240] yet exists before the court via assigned and sworn complaint okay that's a major due process
[20:54.240 --> 21:04.120] no no nobody has the right to sit in judgment of anyone else when there is not a valid issue
[21:04.120 --> 21:12.160] for which there should be a judgment to begin with you can't adjudicate the issue without
[21:12.160 --> 21:19.360] everything being in place how can you begin the preliminaries of that adjudication without
[21:19.360 --> 21:26.640] everything being in place okay it's like starting on a road trip without putting tires on the
[21:26.640 --> 21:33.760] rims of the car and then later trying to add on while the car is moving down the road
[21:33.760 --> 21:41.520] it just isn't going to work there's a particular order in which that has to be assembled before
[21:41.520 --> 21:47.760] it's functional and proper and the way they're trying to do it in twenty seven point one
[21:47.760 --> 21:57.640] four simply is not proper they are attempting to allow the courts to take off down the road
[21:57.640 --> 22:04.120] and the tires haven't been put on yet all in the hopes that the driver or the person
[22:04.120 --> 22:13.560] being hauled around in the car meaning you is not going to notice until they get everything
[22:13.560 --> 22:21.680] else that they want out of the deal I mean it's it's ridiculous in one of this committee
[22:21.680 --> 22:26.580] hearings when we were down there on one of these bills that we were giving testimony
[22:26.580 --> 22:33.720] over this past session the police officers were up there giving their support of this
[22:33.720 --> 22:42.680] particular bill and to the credit of the committee chairman he made the statement saying well
[22:42.680 --> 22:49.800] we give you people all of these tools and nothing changes why are we giving you all
[22:49.800 --> 22:59.360] of these tools but you're not producing anything more with them well what idiot thought that
[22:59.360 --> 23:08.240] it was a good idea to give a court a tool that allows them to pry the procedure out
[23:08.240 --> 23:18.320] of the context of due process let's make the accused feel like we have jurisdiction let's
[23:18.320 --> 23:25.060] make them think that we can do something to them let's make them believe that we can throw
[23:25.060 --> 23:32.540] them in jail but we're going to do all of that without proper jurisdiction because
[23:32.540 --> 23:39.980] no one is actually signed a complaint no one is actually generated a charging instrument
[23:39.980 --> 23:47.940] no indictment has been made but we're going to threaten the accused anyway and see if
[23:47.940 --> 23:55.260] we can get them to pay us without a fight you know it seems to me they used to make
[23:55.260 --> 24:02.540] movies about this kind of crap but they called it organized crime and it was a protection
[24:02.540 --> 24:08.220] racket that was being set up and run you don't want bad things to happen to you your
[24:08.220 --> 24:14.500] family or your business you pass this little bit of money every week and we'll see to it
[24:14.500 --> 24:21.980] nothing bad happens to you like this okay that's all this crap is that they're pulling
[24:21.980 --> 24:33.420] with twenty seven point one four they are setting the law up to deny a fine only offense
[24:33.420 --> 24:42.900] individual that's accused of this activity their right of due process they did the exact
[24:42.900 --> 24:47.620] same thing in the requirements for getting an appeal to those that are accused of a
[24:47.620 --> 24:58.220] fine only offense no other alleged criminal act in Texas requires the payment of double
[24:58.220 --> 25:13.900] the bond in order to get an appeal why is that why are fine only offenses required to
[25:13.900 --> 25:21.660] post double what they would get charged if they were found guilty in order to get their
[25:21.660 --> 25:29.340] appeal does it make any sense to me where is that little clause that says excessive fines
[25:29.340 --> 25:38.180] and fees don't belong you know I can only be fined a hundred and fifty dollars but in
[25:38.180 --> 25:43.420] order to get my appeal for that hundred and fifty you're going to make me pay three and
[25:43.420 --> 25:50.100] then you're going to delay my appeal or you're going to misapply that money to make it appear
[25:50.100 --> 25:56.580] that I like I paid the fine instead of paid for the appeal so that you can deny me the
[25:56.580 --> 26:04.980] appeal by saying I paid the fine and wave the appeal it's a freaking scam people that's
[26:04.980 --> 26:12.500] all it is you give them one penny they will misapply it and turn around and say oh well
[26:12.500 --> 26:21.580] you paid that on the fine you don't get an appeal they did that to Mike in his tsa case
[26:21.580 --> 26:26.060] he went down and paid the appeal bond they immediately took his money and applied it
[26:26.060 --> 26:33.060] to the fine that was charged against me and not only that they applied court costs on
[26:33.060 --> 26:45.820] top of that as part of the bond and here's the problem the jury did not award court costs
[26:45.820 --> 26:53.060] it would seem to me that when the jury says the individual owes this amount in penalty
[26:53.060 --> 27:01.740] that's all they owe where does the state or the city or the county get the authority
[27:01.740 --> 27:10.100] to charge a defendant in excess of the amount adjudicated by the jury if the jury didn't
[27:10.100 --> 27:19.700] award the state court costs or the city court costs how are they able to get them in a civil
[27:19.700 --> 27:29.500] case if the opposing party doesn't sue for their recovery of their legal fees they don't
[27:29.500 --> 27:40.740] get them if they're not awarded by the jury they don't get them so why is it the municipalities
[27:40.740 --> 27:46.780] or the counties or the state are able to collect court costs when they're not part of what
[27:46.780 --> 27:53.540] the jury found that the defendant owed how then are they able to go behind their back
[27:53.540 --> 28:02.460] and also tack on additional administrative fees of the 250 a year or more depending upon
[28:02.460 --> 28:10.220] the alleged offense for the next three years or five years that money was not awarded to
[28:10.220 --> 28:20.300] anybody by the jury it's not like it increased a burden on anybody to maintain the exact
[28:20.300 --> 28:26.420] same records they were maintaining before on the defendant so there is no additional
[28:26.420 --> 28:35.420] administrative expenditure or overhead on the defendant so what is the $250 a year for
[28:35.420 --> 28:43.900] it's punitive it's in addition to if it's punitive and the jury didn't award it how
[28:43.900 --> 28:54.740] are they getting away with charging it I can't find any case law whatsoever that allows punitive
[28:54.740 --> 29:01.820] damages to be assessed against an accused if those damages are not awarded by the jury
[29:01.820 --> 29:13.620] or the judge if it's without a jury how do they get there oh well I'll tell you our legislature
[29:13.620 --> 29:22.620] gave the Department of Public Safety additional tools to control the public and one of those
[29:22.620 --> 29:31.700] additional tools was these illegal fines and administrative fees and I don't care what
[29:31.700 --> 29:36.860] kind of lawyer you are you're an idiot if you think you're going to argue that these
[29:36.860 --> 29:44.860] are not punitive and that they are illegal because they're not assessed by the jury that's
[29:44.860 --> 29:51.260] stupid we didn't make this world up in our form of government for the government to be
[29:51.260 --> 29:56.700] able to just tax us 90 ways from Sunday without our consent alright folks we'll be right back
[29:56.700 --> 30:04.540] on the other side of the break 512646 I lost my son my uncle my son on September 11th 2000

[31:53.740 --> 32:00.740] Albrecht more news and information at Catherine Albrecht dot com
[32:00.740 --> 32:26.740] yeah I got a warrant and I gonna solve them to the government them prosecute them okay
[32:26.740 --> 32:33.740] okay now the surcharges that we're talking about
[32:33.740 --> 33:00.740] okay now the surcharges that we're talking about these administrative fees slash punitive
[33:00.740 --> 33:08.220] fees that they're adding in addition to whatever the jury assesses in a traffic case this is
[33:08.220 --> 33:14.700] brought about by the driver's license points surcharge under the driver responsibility
[33:14.700 --> 33:22.740] act this is chapter seven oh eight of the trap Texas transportation code now when you
[33:22.740 --> 33:33.340] go read through this pay real close attention to what's going on here okay it it's ridiculous
[33:33.340 --> 33:40.140] how they think that they've given proper notice to folks over what they're going to run into
[33:40.140 --> 33:48.540] with these licenses and when I start in telling you that by accepting that license and all
[33:48.540 --> 33:55.340] the accouterments that go with it you're giving up far more than you know that's not an exaggeration
[33:55.340 --> 34:02.940] people that really really is not an exaggeration if you don't believe that go read chapter seven
[34:02.940 --> 34:11.100] oh eight okay this was never put out for public consumption none of the public that I'm aware
[34:11.100 --> 34:17.820] of was ever notified that they were going to get hit like this I mean commercial drivers
[34:17.820 --> 34:24.460] have to deal with this the rest of us don't this is how they're sweetening their revenue
[34:24.460 --> 34:34.500] pot by making everybody believe that they have to participate okay it's coercion it's
[34:34.500 --> 34:46.180] taxation through coercion not by representation not by agreement but by coercion if you've
[34:46.180 --> 34:52.460] ever gotten a traffic ticket for having no license or no anything then you fully understand
[34:52.460 --> 35:00.660] the differences between consent and coercion because when you don't consent to take what
[35:00.660 --> 35:09.660] they're coercing you into having then they act to punish you for it hence the tickets
[35:09.660 --> 35:17.420] the going to trial the adjudication of guilty no matter what you prove or disprove the taking
[35:17.420 --> 35:24.820] of your money over time or in lump sum how are you gonna look at it this is all stuff
[35:24.820 --> 35:36.740] that deals with theft okay our public servants are a bunch of crooked thieves they're doing
[35:36.740 --> 35:48.860] it all nice and legal they say and they don't view it as theft they don't view it as fraud
[35:48.860 --> 35:56.540] but that's exactly what it is if I walked up to you on the street and told you if you
[35:56.540 --> 36:08.260] didn't give me $500 then your business was going to get shut down am I coercing you into
[36:08.260 --> 36:16.460] giving me that $500 depends on how you take my threat if you see me as someone with no
[36:16.460 --> 36:23.140] authority to do that you're gonna laugh in my face or threaten me back but if I walk
[36:23.140 --> 36:30.580] up to you carrying some form of official government identification and then threaten you and that
[36:30.580 --> 36:37.380] particular agency I'm alleging that I represent actually has the authority to do the thing
[36:37.380 --> 36:45.780] I'm threatening are you allowed to take me a little bit more seriously probably so it's
[36:45.780 --> 36:52.780] all in the delivery and appearance some idiot with a uniform that doesn't know he's being
[36:52.780 --> 37:01.740] you'll use as a humongous revenue tool comes up and demands that you produce all the accoutrements
[37:01.740 --> 37:07.620] necessary to prove that he can make you do whatever he wants and you'll be the lead
[37:07.620 --> 37:20.860] producing not something I would recommend but it happens every single day thousands of
[37:20.860 --> 37:30.020] times a day you get pulled over you get stopped on the street you have some sort of encounter
[37:30.020 --> 37:35.460] with an official individual the first thing they want is to know who you are what you're
[37:35.460 --> 37:44.700] doing why you're doing it and they question you like they have some real right to do so
[37:44.700 --> 37:53.580] and they don't unless you do something that gives them the impression that they do have
[37:53.580 --> 38:00.220] the right when a police officer walks up to you and demands that you give him your license
[38:00.220 --> 38:06.660] registration and proof of insurance and you do that you're agreeing that these are things
[38:06.660 --> 38:13.020] he has a right to regulate over you and your opportunity to argue that you weren't engaging
[38:13.020 --> 38:23.940] in the activity that requires those things is right out the window so I took the temptation
[38:23.940 --> 38:30.100] of being able to produce that type of stuff out of the way I got rid of it there's nothing
[38:30.100 --> 38:37.260] for me to produce there's no registration slip there's no license plates there's no
[38:37.260 --> 38:50.460] stickers there's no suspended or expired license that they can have nothing so how are they
[38:50.460 --> 38:56.100] going to make the argument that I was engaging in that act when they can't produce any evidence
[38:56.100 --> 39:06.500] that said I was how are they going to do that if we're made to give them information about
[39:06.500 --> 39:11.900] us they will use it against us they prove that time and time again we need to stop letting
[39:11.900 --> 39:20.100] them get away with that they work for us it's not the other way around we don't exist in
[39:20.100 --> 39:30.180] order to supply them with something to do they exist to do the jobs that the rest of
[39:30.180 --> 39:38.980] us don't have the time to do and we needed someone dedicated to that responsibility to
[39:38.980 --> 39:52.860] do that job hence police officers firemen bureaucrats so on and so forth they work for
[39:52.860 --> 40:00.580] us folks stop letting them treat you like it's the other way around if you're free start
[40:00.580 --> 40:06.660] acting like it if you believe that you are the one that should be in charge of your own
[40:06.660 --> 40:18.060] life and your own family and your own property then come and start acting like it if you
[40:18.060 --> 40:26.020] want to be in charge of your life short of what Almighty God has in store for you then
[40:26.020 --> 40:32.940] you need to act like it if you act like somebody that needs to be taken care of you will be
[40:32.940 --> 40:41.740] treated like somebody that has to be taken care of and it won't be the treatment mom
[40:41.740 --> 40:47.300] and dad will give you it will be the treatment you would get in a really bad foster home
[40:47.300 --> 40:54.460] that only wants the checks and that's pretty much what our public servants have turned
[40:54.460 --> 41:03.860] into a bunch of foster home employees all they care about is the check not the child
[41:03.860 --> 41:11.500] they've been paid to take care of so stop acting like children people get real get
[41:11.500 --> 41:19.740] a life get in charge of what's yours stop leaving it to your public serpent right I'll
[41:19.740 --> 41:26.540] quit ranting now we've got Dan Texas on the collar board even Dan what's up how you doing
[41:26.540 --> 41:34.460] Eddie I'm doing good you oh I'm doing alright I had a interesting experience in Jordan in
[41:34.460 --> 41:40.140] Georgetown in Wimps County the other day it's nothing really bad happened to me it was just
[41:40.140 --> 41:43.660] kind of amusing and kind of interesting I don't know what to think about it I was there
[41:43.660 --> 41:52.140] to watch a friend who was on trial for a class A misdemeanor failure to identify okay failure
[41:52.140 --> 41:58.140] to identify because he had some traffic warrants out on him okay but I had actually gotten
[41:58.140 --> 42:02.180] there a little bit early and he got there late so when I was sitting there I saw some
[42:02.180 --> 42:06.700] guy actually do a plea bargain in front of the judge for possession of marijuana and
[42:06.700 --> 42:12.700] he'd hired an attorney okay and he didn't fight him at all and he ended up getting two days
[42:12.700 --> 42:19.100] and court costs which were $300 and change you know $355 $360 and the judge actually said
[42:19.100 --> 42:22.940] he would give him two days credit for the day he spent in jail because when he was busted
[42:22.940 --> 42:29.020] you know the minute he spent you know part of a day at least in jail right so anyway
[42:29.020 --> 42:32.860] my friend shows up and went ahead and they forced him to a jury trial he was staying
[42:32.860 --> 42:38.660] there challenging jurisdiction all this kind of he did not hire a lawyer he did not cooperate
[42:38.660 --> 42:43.580] in any way he kept interrupting the judge and challenging the judge's jurisdiction and
[42:43.580 --> 42:49.540] the jury found him guilty and he ended up getting three days jail two days credit for
[42:49.540 --> 42:57.660] the day that he served and $400 and some odd dollars in court costs now I live in Williamson
[42:57.660 --> 43:01.940] County and I know how tough they're supposed to be and I was really expecting he could
[43:01.940 --> 43:05.900] have got up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine and I don't know what to think of it
[43:05.900 --> 43:09.340] the only thing that makes any sense is that the jails must be starting to get overcrowded
[43:09.340 --> 43:18.340] because of this economy what do you think about that Eddie
[43:18.340 --> 43:24.220] on the question here of what he was in there for he was on trial and he gave him a hard
[43:24.220 --> 43:28.700] time this was the third or fourth hearing we went back I got that part that you said
[43:28.700 --> 43:36.140] the only charge against him was failure to identify hello hello you said the only charge

[46:57.500 --> 47:03.780] was a few years back he went up to Oklahoma and he paid cash for a brand new Dodge diesel
[47:03.780 --> 47:08.460] nice pickup he was making some money at the time okay right and when the dealer said well
[47:08.460 --> 47:12.180] you want us to do you know title tax license law stuff he said no he said I'm going back
[47:12.180 --> 47:17.100] to Texas I'll handle it there when I get there so he left with the paid off receipt for the
[47:17.100 --> 47:22.140] truck and with the MSO manufacturer statement of origin yes and then when he got to Texas
[47:22.140 --> 47:27.420] he never went through the process as they would say he has to go through okay now his
[47:27.420 --> 47:32.140] truck has no stickers on it no inspection no registration stickers and he's got a back
[47:32.140 --> 47:36.620] plate I don't know why he doesn't have a front plate but the plate says secretary of state
[47:36.620 --> 47:42.540] a posthee and it's got some numbers on it okay yeah now from what I gather he eventually
[47:42.540 --> 47:46.020] got stopped by some officer somewhere and given some tickets which he didn't handle to
[47:46.020 --> 47:52.420] their satisfaction and he didn't beat so they ended up issuing warrants for either fair
[47:52.420 --> 47:58.820] to appear or fair to pay or fair to do something okay and he got stopped because of something
[47:58.820 --> 48:03.420] else maybe they noticed his truck didn't meet their standards and when they asked him his
[48:03.420 --> 48:07.580] name and date of birth and all that according to the officers he did not give them a correct
[48:07.580 --> 48:13.460] name and date of a bird okay and that's in the penal code under failure to ID and if
[48:13.460 --> 48:19.260] you're a fugitive it bumps it up to a class A misdemeanor well yeah it's 3802 I'm familiar
[48:19.260 --> 48:25.500] with the penal code statute but you were asking me what I thought about this well depending
[48:25.500 --> 48:33.340] upon what it was he didn't handle that changes the answer okay if all he did was not appear
[48:33.340 --> 48:39.700] for the tickets they can't charge him under the penal code for failure to appear they
[48:39.700 --> 48:48.060] can't issue the warrant under the penal code for failure to appear Eddie yeah there any
[48:48.060 --> 48:53.460] say again there yes I'm here where are you okay well I'm outside it's a little bit windy
[48:53.460 --> 48:58.060] but it's quieter outside than it is inside so I did that to try to you know as a courtesy
[48:58.060 --> 49:03.220] to the program yeah okay now see the thing is I don't really know all those details
[49:03.220 --> 49:07.460] I'll have to ask him sometime as to why there were warrants out on him regarding all these
[49:07.460 --> 49:11.380] traffic tickets and things like that what he didn't do why didn't handle it but they
[49:11.380 --> 49:16.980] were charging him under the penal code section that makes it a crime to give a false false
[49:16.980 --> 49:21.660] identification information to an officer who has arrested you I forget the section and
[49:21.660 --> 49:27.100] it's 3802 and I understand that if you've been detained and you voluntarily give false
[49:27.100 --> 49:33.020] information you've committed to crime okay you have to have been lawfully detained and
[49:33.020 --> 49:38.580] arrested that's what the statute requires now here's the thing here's the point I'm
[49:38.580 --> 49:43.860] trying to make Eddie that kind of you know flabbergasted me okay this man is a friend
[49:43.860 --> 49:47.860] of mine I have my fingers and my toes crossed I was hoping everything would go well for him
[49:47.860 --> 49:52.060] but literally he did things that I wouldn't have done for instance during the trial they
[49:52.060 --> 49:57.540] forced him to a jury trial okay I mean a couple times he aborted it he postponed it he challenged
[49:57.540 --> 49:59.460] jurisdiction everywhere out of his mouth.
[49:59.460 --> 50:03.180] Again how did they force him into a jury trial?
[50:03.180 --> 50:06.860] Well they had him on bond and if he didn't appear it would have been another charge of
[50:06.860 --> 50:11.420] bettering to appear plus revoked his bond he had to bond out of jail okay so if he didn't
[50:11.420 --> 50:14.420] appear at any one of the settings that they had they would have just issued a capious
[50:14.420 --> 50:16.220] or warrant for him.
[50:16.220 --> 50:22.340] Well the question regarding forcing into a jury trial well he just means into a trial
[50:22.340 --> 50:23.340] in general.
[50:23.340 --> 50:27.260] Okay yes that's that's what I was going to say because you don't have to have a jury.
[50:27.260 --> 50:31.940] Why well he didn't ask for a way if he wasn't cooperating at all his position was you have
[50:31.940 --> 50:36.420] no authority over me you have no jurisdiction he said that repeatedly that was.
[50:36.420 --> 50:43.260] So what was the trial about was it about the traffic ticket violations or was it because
[50:43.260 --> 50:50.980] of failure to appear or was it because of the failure to ID this is a little bit unclear
[50:50.980 --> 50:56.820] because first you said he was arrested for failure to ID or charged with failure to ID
[50:56.820 --> 51:03.580] and then you mentioned something about giving false identification so which one was it or
[51:03.580 --> 51:04.820] was it both?
[51:04.820 --> 51:12.380] He was on trial under in Williamson County the class A misdemeanor failure to ID slash
[51:12.380 --> 51:17.060] false ID and he gave according to them their testimony was he gave false information when
[51:17.060 --> 51:22.140] the officer asked him for the information okay that's what he was on trial for in Williamson
[51:22.140 --> 51:26.060] County I don't know what the underlying traffic tickets were all about but those were the
[51:26.060 --> 51:30.780] reasons why he had warrants out of them if he had not had a warrant he gave false information
[51:30.780 --> 51:31.780] it would just be a class C.
[51:31.780 --> 51:33.780] Okay so what is your question?
[51:33.780 --> 51:37.820] Well it's not so much a question it's a comment because almost everybody in this area knows
[51:37.820 --> 51:43.660] how Williamson County is okay and this man gave the judge nothing but you know HE double
[51:43.660 --> 51:51.380] L you know kept challenges jurisdiction interrupted him he did things you know that I wouldn't
[51:51.380 --> 51:56.420] have done for instance the prosecutors were very you know professional and polished and
[51:56.420 --> 51:58.740] well-dressed and they faced the jury and thanked the jury.
[51:58.740 --> 52:05.060] Well Dan it takes more than just giving the judge or the court or the prosecutor HE double
[52:05.060 --> 52:12.300] L I mean you have to have specific rebuttals you have to have specific challenges and he
[52:12.300 --> 52:17.340] really didn't put on anything that I would call defense the point is that this is Williamson
[52:17.340 --> 52:22.700] County and this man was you know operating from what they would view as being a complete
[52:22.700 --> 52:26.180] outlaw as far as his truck goes and everything like that he gave them nothing but a hard
[52:26.180 --> 52:30.340] time and the judge ended up sentenced him he did not have the jury sentenced him he chose
[52:30.340 --> 52:35.340] to have the judge sentenced him and the judge gave him three days no fine he could have
[52:35.340 --> 52:39.980] gotten a year in jail up to a $5,000 fine a year in jail he ended up getting three days
[52:39.980 --> 52:44.340] in jail two days already served because the database arrest they gave him.
[52:44.340 --> 52:48.140] Well Dan if he didn't put on a proper defense then that's to be expected I mean that has
[52:48.140 --> 52:52.740] nothing to do with Williamson County I mean we all know that Williamson County is extremely
[52:52.740 --> 52:56.380] corrupt but if you're not going to put on a proper defense and you don't even understand
[52:56.380 --> 52:59.260] the charges that are against you then that's what's going to happen.
[52:59.260 --> 53:04.740] He's talking about that the actual punitive effect was extremely minimal considering it
[53:04.740 --> 53:08.820] was Williamson County three days instead of up to a year.
[53:08.820 --> 53:11.620] I think he's not locking him up for the whole year and hitting him with $5,000 fine I was
[53:11.620 --> 53:14.660] fully expecting that to happen.
[53:14.660 --> 53:18.700] But the only problem is is you're asking me to comment on it and I don't have any information
[53:18.700 --> 53:21.380] other than what you relayed to us over the call.
[53:21.380 --> 53:26.020] I don't really have a frame of reference not knowing what the gentleman was saying or doing
[53:26.020 --> 53:27.020] in court.
[53:27.020 --> 53:29.420] We don't even know what the technical what the charges were.
[53:29.420 --> 53:34.380] I did have a traffic comment but I mean I just wanted to relay it because you know everybody
[53:34.380 --> 53:37.660] around knows how Williamson County is and I don't know what to think about I'm tarnishing
[53:37.660 --> 53:42.660] him is there jail overcrowded did he get the you know idiot of the week award or the you
[53:42.660 --> 53:45.860] know entertainment we entertain the judge or what happened.
[53:45.860 --> 53:50.300] Well it could be the fact that maybe just maybe the judge is aware that there's something
[53:50.300 --> 53:55.740] in the record that this guy could have used to his advantage and didn't and rather than
[53:55.740 --> 54:01.660] risk assessing way too much money and time that would cost them in the long run if he
[54:01.660 --> 54:07.940] ever figured it out and bought it the judge opted for discretion and didn't over punish
[54:07.940 --> 54:13.820] in the hopes that it will be considered payment enough that he'll go away and not ponder the
[54:13.820 --> 54:14.820] issue anymore.
[54:14.820 --> 54:19.140] Yeah and really Dan what you're asking for at this point is pure speculation.
[54:19.140 --> 54:23.620] You're asking for pure speculation on our part because we don't really you haven't given
[54:23.620 --> 54:26.940] us the details of the foundation of the case.
[54:26.940 --> 54:30.540] These are giving you pretty much all the details I know I know there was traffic warrants I
[54:30.540 --> 54:34.380] know we got stopped and I sat there through about the first half of the trial and I had
[54:34.380 --> 54:37.380] to leave and I was expecting that he was going to be in jail and I called the jail and he
[54:37.380 --> 54:40.860] wasn't in there and I shot him an email and he ended up responding and said well I got
[54:40.860 --> 54:45.380] three days two days served and four hundred some odd dollars in court cost and I ended
[54:45.380 --> 54:48.260] up talking to him a day or two later and he said he hadn't paid the court cost because
[54:48.260 --> 54:51.140] he filed him an appeal he's going to go ahead and appeal the sentence he got.
[54:51.140 --> 54:53.740] All right well do you have anything else for us Dan?
[54:53.740 --> 55:00.460] Yes I did now this has to do with traffic okay and you know the bad thing is that I've
[55:00.460 --> 55:04.980] read you know some cases in the past and played around with traffic myself okay and
[55:04.980 --> 55:10.140] I know that I read a case four or five years ago and I'm sure Eddie's done this he's read
[55:10.140 --> 55:14.180] a case made a point of making a note of it or something got busy forgot to do it set it
[55:14.180 --> 55:19.300] aside forgot the case but he remembers the gist of it okay and what is the case you're
[55:19.300 --> 55:20.300] referring to Dan?
[55:20.300 --> 55:25.700] Well what this case was was it was you know it was City of Amarillo or City of Abilene
[55:25.700 --> 55:30.340] one or the other I remember those details and what it was was it was around the turn
[55:30.340 --> 55:38.700] of the 1800s or 1880s 1890s or early 1900s okay and what happened was this man was gambling
[55:38.700 --> 55:44.300] in violation of the city ordinance and also in violation of some state law or something
[55:44.300 --> 55:49.460] and a sheriff deputy or sheriff and a city marshal came on the scene of these guys gambling
[55:49.460 --> 55:55.260] at the same time both of them okay and the city marshal wrote a citation to one of the
[55:55.260 --> 56:00.300] men okay and the sheriff guy didn't do anything he didn't write a citation or anything like
[56:00.300 --> 56:06.420] that and so they leave and the next day the man runs down to the city and pays the fine
[56:06.420 --> 56:12.540] okay pled guilty or pled no contest and went ahead and paid the ticket okay and imagine
[56:12.540 --> 56:18.540] to his surprise a few days later he gets a summons in the mail summoning him to JP court
[56:18.540 --> 56:23.900] because the sheriff went in and filed the actual sworn complaint see and what happened
[56:23.900 --> 56:27.980] was this was an appeals case and the man was screaming at the appeals court and he said
[56:27.980 --> 56:32.300] you know hey you can't do this this is double jeopardy I've already been pled pled guilty
[56:32.300 --> 56:37.100] found guilty paid the fine in the city court and this county charge cannot I'm getting charged
[56:37.100 --> 56:43.140] twice for the same offense that's you know blazing you know blatant violation of the
[56:43.140 --> 56:49.020] provision you know barring double jeopardy okay now what's interesting is that the appeals
[56:49.020 --> 56:55.060] court ruled against him okay and what they basically said was that he wasn't really formally
[56:55.060 --> 56:59.860] charged until there was at least a sworn complaint and that the court that got the first complaint
[56:59.860 --> 57:05.380] in a case like that is the court that gets the jurisdiction so in other words he paid
[57:05.380 --> 57:10.740] the city prematurely because they hadn't filed a complaint against him and in in in legal
[57:10.740 --> 57:14.580] you know essence he donated the money to the city I mean theoretically maybe he could go
[57:14.580 --> 57:19.260] sue them civilly and say hey give me my money back he ended up getting tried getting convicted
[57:19.260 --> 57:24.740] in JP court he appealed the conviction and the appeals court said it's not double jeopardy
[57:24.740 --> 57:31.060] you weren't charged by the city you were charged by the county now I wish I knew the site on
[57:31.060 --> 57:35.060] that I could find the site on that but see what it boils down to Eddie is is you're a
[57:35.060 --> 57:39.260] hundred percent right in what you say and teach and they don't have any charging document
[57:39.260 --> 57:44.220] for all these majority of people that run in there and plea and pay to just a citation
[57:44.220 --> 57:49.540] they have never been legally charged and technically theoretically said county attorney
[57:49.540 --> 57:52.220] could go around the city is that they were charging for money and say hey give us all
[57:52.220 --> 57:55.940] your tickets I want to dig through your ticket book oh you got all these people that pledged
[57:55.940 --> 57:59.460] guilt to your no contest and they were there no complaint filed well I'm gonna file a complaint
[57:59.460 --> 58:05.100] against them drag them in my court now all right well I'd like to see the case on that
[58:05.100 --> 58:09.980] the case site all right Dan thanks for the call all right we are going to the top of

[01:04:13.940 --> 01:04:19.940] all right folks we are back this is rule of law radio five one two six four six nineteen
[01:04:19.940 --> 01:04:24.940] eighty four it is the top of the hour we got about an hour left in the show right now we
[01:04:24.940 --> 01:04:29.940] have a couple of callers still on the board Kenny and Hondo we're gonna go to Kenny Kenny
[01:04:29.940 --> 01:04:38.940] what can we do for you yes I got a ticket in Liberty Hill and I was pulling the trailer
[01:04:38.940 --> 01:04:43.940] and I didn't have any tail lights on my trailer and I've always understood that if your load
[01:04:43.940 --> 01:04:48.940] wasn't blocking your rear lights on the vehicle you're pulling trailer with it you don't need
[01:04:48.940 --> 01:04:54.940] tail lights on your trailer is that correct that is correct we've been through that particular
[01:04:54.940 --> 01:04:59.940] statute for someone before now where can I find that because I went to court today and
[01:04:59.940 --> 01:05:04.940] he told me it was my burden of proof that he didn't really know and he didn't have access
[01:05:04.940 --> 01:05:11.940] who told you that the prosecutor the prosecutors full of crap it's his burden of proof not yours
[01:05:11.940 --> 01:05:17.940] right and you're allowed to have proper notice of what's being alleged against you did you
[01:05:17.940 --> 01:05:22.940] get a copy of the complaint well yeah I got a ticket and all that but no I didn't ask you
[01:05:22.940 --> 01:05:28.940] if you got a ticket did you get a copy of the complaint I don't understand what you mean
[01:05:28.940 --> 01:05:36.940] there's a document that somebody has to swear to it's called a complaint uh-huh did you
[01:05:36.940 --> 01:05:43.940] get a copy of it from the prosecutor today uh yeah I got paperwork wrong I just don't
[01:05:43.940 --> 01:05:48.940] know the legal jargon so I don't know that's why I'm calling and asking did you look at
[01:05:48.940 --> 01:05:54.940] any of the paperwork no not really he told me he told me if I could bring in the legal
[01:05:54.940 --> 01:06:01.940] statute and sell it to him that he would dismiss it no his job is to find the statute smack
[01:06:01.940 --> 01:06:07.940] him upside the head with chapter 2 code of criminal procedure it's his job to prove your
[01:06:07.940 --> 01:06:13.940] innocence just as much as it is your guilt if he's going to charge you under a particular
[01:06:13.940 --> 01:06:18.940] statute he dang well ought to know what that statute does and does not allow access the
[01:06:18.940 --> 01:06:22.940] internet and he didn't know what it was and if I could prove it he would dismiss it well
[01:06:22.940 --> 01:06:26.940] and if he doesn't know what it is how are they going to write a criminal complaint against
[01:06:26.940 --> 01:06:33.940] you that makes sense to me with uh anyways it's chapter 2 of the Texas Penal Code no
[01:06:33.940 --> 01:06:40.940] no chapter 2 is what his duties are okay okay that's not the transportation code dealing
[01:06:40.940 --> 01:06:48.940] with the the lights on the trailer okay all right according to chapter 2 his duties is
[01:06:48.940 --> 01:06:54.940] ensure that everything is brought to light whether it's exculpatory or incriminating
[01:06:54.940 --> 01:07:01.940] uh-huh and if he knows the statute exists and he plans to charge you with it he better
[01:07:01.940 --> 01:07:09.940] know which part can and cannot apply to you right now if you get paperwork from these
[01:07:09.940 --> 01:07:15.940] guys I recommend you take a look at it okay all right one of these documents needs to
[01:07:15.940 --> 01:07:22.940] say complaint okay and if none of them do then they already have a due process problem
[01:07:22.940 --> 01:07:32.940] 45.018 code of criminal procedure requires that you be provided with a copy of that complaint
[01:07:32.940 --> 01:07:40.940] no later than one day prior to any proceeding in the prosecution of that complaint well
[01:07:40.940 --> 01:07:46.940] now think about the only paperwork I got from them was what I got to go to court today they
[01:07:46.940 --> 01:07:51.940] didn't give me anything today now think about it I've been working all this but what what
[01:07:51.940 --> 01:07:58.940] have you gotten and when and how did you get it they mailed me a piece of paper a month
[01:07:58.940 --> 01:08:04.940] ago informing me of my court date but they didn't give me anything today they kept all the
[01:08:04.940 --> 01:08:10.940] paperwork they said come back 30 days I had to have the 30 days come back and show them
[01:08:10.940 --> 01:08:18.940] the statute they were dismissed okay so you're going to go in and try to prove your innocence
[01:08:18.940 --> 01:08:23.940] rather than them trying to prove your guilt hey if it's letting me 150 bucks I'm all for
[01:08:23.940 --> 01:08:30.440] it and it goes off no you're not following me here dude that is the switching up to the
[01:08:30.440 --> 01:08:39.540] burden of proof the accused does not bear the burden of proof the accuser does if they
[01:08:39.540 --> 01:08:48.940] are not in possession of an actual complaint that makes an accusation then they don't have
[01:08:48.940 --> 01:08:56.980] a case there's no issue before the court file a prosecutorial misconduct charge and bar
[01:08:56.980 --> 01:09:06.740] grievance against the prosecutor how you go about doing that go online search for Texas
[01:09:06.740 --> 01:09:15.580] bar grievance download the form fill it out send it in Texas bar grievance yeah just do

[01:09:30.780 --> 01:09:36.060] what to do when it is on it but I'm not a lawyer and I don't know you don't have to be a lawyer
[01:09:36.060 --> 01:09:40.580] if you can read when you walk in there it's total intimidation you either see what they
[01:09:40.580 --> 01:09:49.100] say or you go to jail to defend the court you know not true not true if you let fear control
[01:09:49.100 --> 01:09:56.300] your court appearance you've lost already that may be the impression you get but it
[01:09:56.300 --> 01:10:02.940] is not true they can't hold you in contempt without a valid reason and it's much harder
[01:10:02.940 --> 01:10:13.900] to get that valid reason than they would have you believe all right okay well I guess that's
[01:10:13.900 --> 01:10:19.540] what I need to know then yeah get that first if you have a scanner or anything of that
[01:10:19.540 --> 01:10:25.340] nature take every piece of paperwork you've got get it scanned into your computer and
[01:10:25.340 --> 01:10:31.380] email it to me and I will see what I can tell you to do or not do okay only thing I have
[01:10:31.380 --> 01:10:37.020] from them is the thing that they sent me to come to court today okay you have a citation
[01:10:37.020 --> 01:10:46.140] also right and you're sure there's nothing else that's it okay then take it upon yourself
[01:10:46.140 --> 01:10:53.500] to go back to the court visit the clerk and tell them you want to view the court record
[01:10:53.500 --> 01:11:01.180] and you want a copy of everything that's in it okay then add that to the pile of paper
[01:11:01.180 --> 01:11:08.820] you've got all two of them and scan them in and get them sent to me ASAP what's your
[01:11:08.820 --> 01:11:22.100] email address eddieedie at ruleoflawradio.com okay all right thank you sir yeah and Kenny
[01:11:22.100 --> 01:11:28.460] listen don't don't let the fear overcome you okay they are not going to hold you in
[01:11:28.460 --> 01:11:32.980] contempt of court just because you won't do every little thing that they want you to
[01:11:32.980 --> 01:11:38.900] all right remember when it comes to traffic tickets these people want money this is revenue
[01:11:38.900 --> 01:11:46.300] they don't want to put you in jail that costs them they want to get in your pockets all
[01:11:46.300 --> 01:11:51.620] right and really they're not going to hold you in contempt unless there really is a valid
[01:11:51.620 --> 01:11:58.420] reason so so you just have to know the law you have to know the procedures and and just
[01:11:58.420 --> 01:12:06.740] have faith and stand firm okay well I appreciate it I will get that email to you and then we'll
[01:12:06.740 --> 01:12:12.260] see what happens after that okay thanks Kenny thank you have a good day okay you too all
[01:12:12.260 --> 01:12:18.740] right before we go to the next call I wanted to address what you were talking about earlier
[01:12:18.740 --> 01:12:26.380] eddie concerning this appeals issue and getting it to the county court which is the appellate
[01:12:26.380 --> 01:12:31.780] court for traffic tickets now we were discussing on the break basically you're saying right
[01:12:31.780 --> 01:12:38.580] now unless the municipal court grants someone in former paupers there's really no way to
[01:12:38.580 --> 01:12:46.660] get a traffic ticket on appeal to the county court unless you pay the double the ticket
[01:12:46.660 --> 01:12:53.540] the appeal bond and you were saying people don't ever sign that little electronic pad
[01:12:53.540 --> 01:12:58.260] because they will take your signature and put it wherever they want and like eddie you
[01:12:58.260 --> 01:13:03.620] were saying they'll apply it to the ticket and the court costs and say that you've agreed
[01:13:03.620 --> 01:13:09.420] and pled guilty and then you can't appeal so you have to specifically say no this money
[01:13:09.420 --> 01:13:15.500] is for the appeal so once it gets let's assume someone's gone through that process it gets
[01:13:15.500 --> 01:13:24.620] to the appeal court it gets to the county court what I've been told is that what happens
[01:13:24.620 --> 01:13:30.420] is that they just won't try it they just the county court just won't make a ruling on it
[01:13:30.420 --> 01:13:35.380] they just sit on it forever and keep your money and so what is the remedy there how
[01:13:35.380 --> 01:13:42.540] can somebody well I know like what frederick graves would say is that well get the process
[01:13:42.540 --> 01:13:47.860] rolling you schedule a motion hearing file some motions file some documents and schedule
[01:13:47.860 --> 01:13:55.580] a motion hearing but that's not going to schedule the trial or schedule a ruling on the appeal
[01:13:55.580 --> 01:14:01.780] is there anything in statute or anything in case law that says there's a time limit here
[01:14:01.780 --> 01:14:08.580] I mean what about speed trial issues the speedy trial issue is the only one you have to motivate
[01:14:08.580 --> 01:14:13.780] them with and as far as what you do to get them to hear it the only option you have is
[01:14:13.780 --> 01:14:19.260] to file a motion for dismissal for failure to provide a speedy trial at the appeal level
[01:14:19.260 --> 01:14:26.540] but here's the issue on the appeal that's not going to work that will only work on a
[01:14:26.540 --> 01:14:33.100] trial de novo which you would have had to pay the appeal bond to get to anyway okay so if
[01:14:33.100 --> 01:14:38.700] it's a court of record at the municipal level you can't you're going to an appeal court an
[01:14:38.700 --> 01:14:45.780] actual appeal and there's no re-adjudication of anything what's in the record and in the
[01:14:45.780 --> 01:14:53.260] filings is what there is so there's nothing you can file to motivate the appellate procedure
[01:14:53.260 --> 01:14:57.980] that I'm aware of now there may be that you could file the writ of mandamus to a higher
[01:14:57.980 --> 01:15:02.620] court saying hey the appeals court's just sitting here they can't offer a valid reason
[01:15:02.620 --> 01:15:09.380] why they're sitting here their dockets not overloaded they've tried four cases in a month
[01:15:09.380 --> 01:15:16.900] come on guys that type of thing you might be successful that way but they're going to
[01:15:16.900 --> 01:15:21.380] do exactly what the awesome municipal court does they're going to shuffle cases to keep
[01:15:21.380 --> 01:15:28.500] those that have that are recent arrivals in the hopper for as long as possible they will
[01:15:28.500 --> 01:15:37.140] try to prosecute all older cases first just like they do in Austin municipal they'll call
[01:15:37.140 --> 01:15:42.740] you in 50 times and then send you home because yours is not the oldest case and so the older
[01:15:42.740 --> 01:15:49.900] one will go to trial today not yours there's got to be a way to force the appeals court
[01:15:49.900 --> 01:15:56.420] to make as long as the legislature is providing the other branches of idiocy I mean government
[01:15:56.420 --> 01:16:06.140] with tools to oppress us but giving us no tools to facilitate our own rights I don't
[01:16:06.140 --> 01:16:13.100] see one so you don't see you don't know of anything in statute that requires the appeals
[01:16:13.100 --> 01:16:18.100] court which is in this situation the county court to make a ruling within a particular
[01:16:18.100 --> 01:16:23.980] set of time there used to be in the speedy trial act until the courts ruled an unconstitutional
[01:16:23.980 --> 01:16:30.940] of course they did that for their own process the legislature tried to set time limits
[01:16:30.940 --> 01:16:36.340] on what they could do and how long they could do it but then the court in order to get out
[01:16:36.340 --> 01:16:41.380] from under the requirements to do things in a timely manner declared it unconstitutional
[01:16:41.380 --> 01:16:47.420] I never read the whole act to and see if it was based on that alone but I'm pretty sure
[01:16:47.420 --> 01:16:51.500] that was a big part of why it got overturned okay well I'm going to do some case law research
[01:16:51.500 --> 01:16:55.420] on this there's got to be a way to force them to make a ruling on the appeal within
[01:16:55.420 --> 01:17:02.220] a certain length of time we'll be right back folks capital coin and bullion is your local

[01:20:26.100 --> 01:20:33.980] I was in your show a great show I had a rather bizarre encounter with a police officer recently
[01:20:33.980 --> 01:20:41.860] and I'd like to know what I could do about it is rather intimidating okay first the it
[01:20:41.860 --> 01:20:48.100] all started when I was threatened with a deadly weapon by three gentlemen and I called 911
[01:20:48.100 --> 01:20:53.780] and gave the description license plate and the people sped off so basically they ended
[01:20:53.780 --> 01:20:59.340] up finding these these three gentlemen I'm sure they threw the weapon away or whatnot
[01:20:59.340 --> 01:21:07.540] you know so basically once they they detained these gentlemen I hung up with the person
[01:21:07.540 --> 01:21:11.900] they called me back and wanted to know all of my information and I told them well you
[01:21:11.900 --> 01:21:16.980] know I'm not the person I'm not the criminal who threatened anybody I'd rather rename
[01:21:16.980 --> 01:21:23.740] and remain anonymous that basically what happened was that you know I just hung up they called
[01:21:23.740 --> 01:21:28.420] me back and I told them the same thing I just want to remain anonymous and basically what
[01:21:28.420 --> 01:21:35.100] ended up happening is is they called me back and told me that if I an officer would like
[01:21:35.100 --> 01:21:39.980] to meet with me because those other gentlemen had a different size of the story and at the
[01:21:39.980 --> 01:21:47.460] time there was four witnesses that they didn't even know me the witnesses I don't need never
[01:21:47.460 --> 01:21:54.580] seen these people in my life but they were willing to vouch for what happened and the
[01:21:54.580 --> 01:21:59.340] dispatcher she was asking me all these questions but she didn't want to hear any witnesses
[01:21:59.340 --> 01:22:04.540] or even know their names or just she didn't want to get anything down that was to my benefit
[01:22:04.540 --> 01:22:12.460] and I found that odd and basically I was I was going on my way to meet to see if I wanted
[01:22:12.460 --> 01:22:17.180] to meet an officer because I was undecisive you know I was indecisive about it and on
[01:22:17.180 --> 01:22:21.780] my way to meet the officer lo and behold I see these three gentlemen who just pulled
[01:22:21.780 --> 01:22:28.420] a weapon on me walking down the street and on top of that these gentlemen were intoxicated
[01:22:28.420 --> 01:22:33.060] they were they were literally intoxicated to the point of they were stumbling around
[01:22:33.060 --> 01:22:38.740] and they were let go and when I met up with the officer I finally agreed to meet up with
[01:22:38.740 --> 01:22:43.380] the officer because I demanded an explanation of why these gentlemen were let go without
[01:22:43.380 --> 01:22:49.140] asking me if I wanted to press charges or anything and when I met up with the officer
[01:22:49.140 --> 01:22:54.700] rather than address the fact that these gentlemen were let go he he proceeded to scold me for
[01:22:54.700 --> 01:23:02.300] calling 911 several times which which I called because they hung up one occasion and I told
[01:23:02.300 --> 01:23:07.420] him well you know I want to press charges on these gentlemen I want to know why you
[01:23:07.420 --> 01:23:12.580] let him go and he said well let me see your ID sir and I said for what I didn't do anything
[01:23:12.580 --> 01:23:17.380] and he goes sir let me see your ID either and I was I said okay and I pulled out my
[01:23:17.380 --> 01:23:22.420] wallet he goes you're refusing to let me see your ID so at that point I already knew where
[01:23:22.420 --> 01:23:26.940] it was headed that he was going to look for an excuse to tell me to put my hands behind
[01:23:26.940 --> 01:23:31.620] my back and then when I said for what he was going to go and reach things and try to grab
[01:23:31.620 --> 01:23:35.380] me and then when he tried to grab me and I said hey what do you arrest me for he would
[01:23:35.380 --> 01:23:40.660] have said that I resisted and assaulted him and made up all these allegations that I resisted
[01:23:40.660 --> 01:23:46.500] the rest you know you know how they try to do it and I at that moment I thought geez
[01:23:46.500 --> 01:23:49.540] I should have listened to Randy and all those people when I heard him on the show saying
[01:23:49.540 --> 01:23:56.700] you need to take a camera everywhere now and you know basically the officer told me right
[01:23:56.700 --> 01:24:01.100] when I was about to show him his ID my ID and he saw me pull out my wallet and he said
[01:24:01.100 --> 01:24:07.060] that I refused to show him then he told me he goes since you refused to show ID we could
[01:24:07.060 --> 01:24:11.060] do one of two ways you can just get out of here and we can forget about the whole thing
[01:24:11.060 --> 01:24:15.340] or we can continue further and see what's going to happen and I didn't want to test
[01:24:15.340 --> 01:24:19.900] the egomaniacs so I went ahead and said you know what just forget about it let those people
[01:24:19.900 --> 01:24:25.420] run wild and do whatever the hell they want and then he proceeded to go around to where
[01:24:25.420 --> 01:24:30.420] my vehicle was and take down my license plate and he hollered out the window he goes I got
[01:24:30.420 --> 01:24:38.420] your license plate and then that was the end of it okay so what exactly is your question
[01:24:38.420 --> 01:24:45.060] my question is did he have did he commit any sort of violation as far as you know why would
[01:24:45.060 --> 01:24:50.420] he why would he not explain what why they didn't do anything to the gentleman and rather
[01:24:50.420 --> 01:24:56.020] than say hey you know these gentlemen threatened you with a deadly weapon here's why first
[01:24:56.020 --> 01:25:00.220] off you didn't identify yourself so they didn't know if they were talking to the correct party
[01:25:00.220 --> 01:25:05.100] about what the accusations were or not if they're investigating a crime they're not
[01:25:05.100 --> 01:25:09.820] going to share that information with the general public or someone that just acts like they
[01:25:09.820 --> 01:25:14.860] have an interest the other problem is is if you wish to press charges you can only do
[01:25:14.860 --> 01:25:22.380] that by identifying yourself because you can't press charges anonymously the accused still
[01:25:22.380 --> 01:25:29.620] has the right to face their accuser in court okay so even if you wanted to press charges
[01:25:29.620 --> 01:25:35.940] they still would have needed your information for the complaint that's the first problem
[01:25:35.940 --> 01:25:40.060] to pull up my wall and identify myself and he said that right well but wait wait wait
[01:25:40.060 --> 01:25:45.220] I'm addressing these as you brought them up okay so right now I'm dealing with the information
[01:25:45.220 --> 01:25:51.900] that you didn't give the dispatcher also it's not the dispatcher's job to investigate it's
[01:25:51.900 --> 01:26:00.420] the dispatcher's job to dispatch someone else to do the investigation hence why they asked
[01:26:00.420 --> 01:26:05.820] who you were and where they could find you so that the person they send out can come
[01:26:05.820 --> 01:26:13.180] talk to you and investigate okay when you don't give them information when you initiate
[01:26:13.180 --> 01:26:20.180] a call for those purposes it makes it look suspiciously to them like it's an abuse of
[01:26:20.180 --> 01:26:30.980] the 911 call that's the reason for their approach with what you did okay now under normal circumstances
[01:26:30.980 --> 01:26:38.260] I'm not fore talking to the police unnecessarily but I'm not hostile towards them either unless
[01:26:38.260 --> 01:26:46.900] I know them and know they deserve it and even then I still try to be a nice guy but you
[01:26:46.900 --> 01:26:54.460] got to remember that if you give them something to do then they need information to do it
[01:26:54.460 --> 01:26:58.900] and part of that involves if you're going to make the complaint you've got to give them
[01:26:58.900 --> 01:27:08.020] the information they need to create the complaint okay okay now as far as how the officer interacted
[01:27:08.020 --> 01:27:14.500] with you again if he has the impression that you were just making the call to abuse the
[01:27:14.500 --> 01:27:20.260] 911 process he's not going to be a happy camper and he's not going to treat you as civilly
[01:27:20.260 --> 01:27:26.020] as he might ought to now I'm not saying that's what you did I'm just saying that's a possible
[01:27:26.020 --> 01:27:35.780] general impression he got I can see that yeah okay so given that he wasn't know if he had
[01:27:35.780 --> 01:27:43.020] a problem child on his hands so he did investigating he got your license number he told you what
[01:27:43.020 --> 01:27:49.020] he was doing and he did that in order to make you understand if I find out that you did do
[01:27:49.020 --> 01:27:57.420] this to abuse this process that we have in place I will be seeing you again and logically
[01:27:57.420 --> 01:28:04.020] speaking that's his job that's what he should be doing they should be civil they should
[01:28:04.020 --> 01:28:08.540] treat us with respect but at the same time they're not going to give out any respect
[01:28:08.540 --> 01:28:13.260] they don't feel they're getting okay but I wasn't hostile towards him at all and I told
[01:28:13.260 --> 01:28:19.620] him that he said well I understand you weren't hostile towards him but remember he's working
[01:28:19.620 --> 01:28:27.060] in a different frame of mind than you are okay and also how come when I told him that
[01:28:27.060 --> 01:28:30.740] okay I'll let's see my ID and I pulled out my wallet and right as soon as I pulled out
[01:28:30.740 --> 01:28:35.180] my wallet I was about to get my ID he said that I'm refusing to give him any sort of
[01:28:35.180 --> 01:28:40.940] information I don't have an answer for that I do not have a mental profile of this individual
[01:28:40.940 --> 01:28:45.340] I was not talking to him I don't know I don't have an answer for that yes sir it just seemed
[01:28:45.340 --> 01:28:50.340] to me is that he was on some sort of power chip and just well that's entirely possible
[01:28:50.340 --> 01:28:56.020] it is entirely possible that now he once he's got this attitude in his mind he's going to
[01:28:56.020 --> 01:29:00.880] show you who's boss I can't say that doesn't apply either it very well could yeah and I
[01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:05.260] see here and I see it all the time where police officers just they'll beat you up if there's
[01:29:05.260 --> 01:29:09.580] no cameras around and then all of a sudden their dash cam will have not been recording
[01:29:09.580 --> 01:29:15.140] at the time they beat you up or the tape will get misplaced again entirely possible which
[01:29:15.140 --> 01:29:21.060] is why I inform everybody do not attempt to escalate an encounter with an officer on
[01:29:21.060 --> 01:29:30.060] the street don't do it okay it's also the reason why you have heard us say do not go
[01:29:30.060 --> 01:29:40.460] out in public at all without a recording device of some kind just don't do it folks hope that
[01:29:40.460 --> 01:29:44.340] I had one more question just a brief well wait a minute Michael we really need to move

[01:33:07.940 --> 01:33:17.660] they sent me a certified letter in the mail that informed me of my child by jury well
[01:33:17.660 --> 01:33:24.740] i got the letter today i'm not home very often so i only get my mail over two or three weeks
[01:33:24.740 --> 01:33:32.420] anyway the certified letter i picked it up today and my trial is in the morning so what
[01:33:32.420 --> 01:33:39.020] i know if i don't show up you know they'll issue a capious etc if i do show up and you
[01:33:39.020 --> 01:33:42.220] know try to argue i hadn't had time to prepare they don't care they're going to go on with
[01:33:42.220 --> 01:33:52.620] it anyway what can i know i have is it right that i have 10 days i'm entitled to 10 days
[01:33:52.620 --> 01:33:59.460] notice for any proceeding yeah but the 10 days is going to be provided by the postmark
[01:33:59.460 --> 01:34:05.220] on the envelope now you can try to make the argument that you didn't receive it until
[01:34:05.220 --> 01:34:10.220] it was actually signed for but they can make the counter argument that you simply avoided
[01:34:10.220 --> 01:34:15.340] signing for it up until the day before trial in order to make this continuance occur yeah
[01:34:15.340 --> 01:34:23.220] i know that's what they're going to do because it's happened to me before so the best thing
[01:34:23.220 --> 01:34:29.500] to do is the very best i can and go and want to know correct and just make sure that you've
[01:34:29.500 --> 01:34:35.180] done everything necessary to make the proper written record at the court level is this
[01:34:35.180 --> 01:34:39.780] a court of record or non record i have no idea i don't think it's a court of record
[01:34:39.780 --> 01:34:44.540] all the motion james i went in for it was just me and the prosecutor and the judge and
[01:34:44.540 --> 01:34:52.700] nobody else and okay but yeah i mean i i can't go it's i mean it's about a six hour drive
[01:34:52.700 --> 01:34:58.220] up there and i i'm not going to make it but uh anyway but it's not the only one that's
[01:34:58.220 --> 01:35:04.820] that's been that way for me what can i what do you suggest or what would you do i guess
[01:35:04.820 --> 01:35:10.780] you think i would still notify the court i would make a call first thing in the morning
[01:35:10.780 --> 01:35:16.660] and notify them that hey i just got this yesterday and then i would make sure and send in a written
[01:35:16.660 --> 01:35:22.860] notice certified mail a testing to that uh in an affidavit form and make sure that the
[01:35:22.860 --> 01:35:30.060] record shows that my failure to appear at this trial was not intentional uh and simply
[01:35:30.060 --> 01:35:34.940] you know relate the fact that you're out of town often on business or whatever it is you're
[01:35:34.940 --> 01:35:41.660] doing and so your mail is you know you only get it periodically and in this particular
[01:35:41.660 --> 01:35:46.620] case you didn't get it until the day before now how much weight that would carry in the
[01:35:46.620 --> 01:35:51.460] long run i really can't tell you but at least i didn't make a attempt and didn't just flat
[01:35:51.460 --> 01:35:59.500] out correct and they won't be quite as mad at me brother right well the the thing is is
[01:35:59.500 --> 01:36:06.940] notice is always important okay yes so that's always a just visible issue above and beyond
[01:36:06.940 --> 01:36:17.460] the merits okay all right talking about also the uh y'all are talking about paying double
[01:36:17.460 --> 01:36:27.300] for your fuel bond um i was in grand bary i was arrested because of failure to appear
[01:36:27.300 --> 01:36:32.580] which was bogus i'd appeared twice they just i didn't enter a plea that was the deal so
[01:36:32.580 --> 01:36:37.620] they arrested me for failure to appear and uh trying to get sue in the magistrate in
[01:36:37.620 --> 01:36:43.420] the court cork over that right right right we're i'm working on that anyway i'm just
[01:36:43.420 --> 01:36:48.020] getting that uh spent the night in jail so i'll judge next morning he asked for a plea
[01:36:48.020 --> 01:36:53.780] i pled not guilty and uh he only reason i entered a plea at that point is because he threatened
[01:36:53.780 --> 01:36:57.900] to throw me back in jail for another day if i didn't and i was ready to get out anyway
[01:36:57.900 --> 01:37:03.300] pled not guilty and i had to pay twice the amount of fine to get out and i don't know
[01:37:03.300 --> 01:37:08.980] if that's kind of the same deal and well that's that's a bond that's not your appeal bond
[01:37:08.980 --> 01:37:16.100] that's a that's a release bond i see yeah that is different okay all right well i'll
[01:37:16.100 --> 01:37:20.580] be listening in on this appeal thing because i have one i tried to appeal and i didn't
[01:37:20.580 --> 01:37:25.380] get it done they just uh i didn't know what i was doing and didn't get it appealed so
[01:37:25.380 --> 01:37:30.420] uh whenever we get all the appeal i'll be listening in and and i'm looking forward to
[01:37:30.420 --> 01:37:38.420] getting that figured out okay honda thanks for calling in bye bye okay uh we appear to
[01:37:38.420 --> 01:37:43.620] have a couple of first time callers we're going to go to them first lindsay and william lindsay
[01:37:43.620 --> 01:37:49.300] what do you got for us well i have a a tax question and i'm not sure how much you know
[01:37:49.300 --> 01:37:56.100] about um what kind of tax uh sales tax i owned a business for six years i had went down to i i
[01:37:56.100 --> 01:38:01.700] got a sales tax permit and i was told by my accountant that my business didn't apply to
[01:38:01.700 --> 01:38:07.540] sales tax i went down the comptroller's office the woman told me that my business did not apply
[01:38:07.540 --> 01:38:14.020] and she closed my sales tax ID six years later they came back and audited me and said that i owed
[01:38:14.020 --> 01:38:23.540] six years worth of sales tax i wanted a redetermination for it and um they they when i first went in
[01:38:23.540 --> 01:38:31.860] they couldn't find anything on where they closed my sales tax a couple months went by i went down
[01:38:31.860 --> 01:38:38.100] to the open records to get the paperwork aware that who closed my sales tax and for what reason
[01:38:38.100 --> 01:38:44.740] then you know to prove it to the court they told me oh we have it it says that it was closed because
[01:38:44.740 --> 01:38:49.700] your business did not apply she said you would email it to me i never got it i went back there
[01:38:49.700 --> 01:38:55.620] and she said oh i read it wrong it actually said that it did apply and you said you wanted to close
[01:38:55.620 --> 01:39:00.420] it anyway because you were closing your business i didn't close my business i paid my taxes on my
[01:39:00.420 --> 01:39:06.580] business every year and now when i went back all of a sudden they find all this information
[01:39:06.580 --> 01:39:11.140] that says something totally different than what had really happened and what they had told me
[01:39:11.140 --> 01:39:18.340] originally welcome to the crooked world of the state comptroller's office i'm extremely familiar
[01:39:18.340 --> 01:39:24.580] with sales tax i have had that battle with them myself i've studied the sales tax statutes in
[01:39:24.580 --> 01:39:30.740] depth in fact it was my dissertation of the sales tax that actually got me on this show wow
[01:39:30.740 --> 01:39:38.020] uh they they told me that that i could do a redetermination i've been told about a million
[01:39:38.020 --> 01:39:44.420] different things well what kind of business do you have lindsey have you i'm sorry it was an escort
[01:39:44.420 --> 01:39:50.980] service and i have another question have you actually gotten any documentation from them have
[01:39:50.980 --> 01:39:58.660] you through open whack records or just going to the office or writing them have you requested
[01:39:58.660 --> 01:40:04.740] or received your the file that they have on your business because from what i'm hearing you're just
[01:40:04.740 --> 01:40:08.900] you're saying that they've told you this and they've told you that and they keep changing the story
[01:40:08.900 --> 01:40:14.900] yes well the documentation came about three weeks after i had originally went down there
[01:40:14.900 --> 01:40:19.860] i went down there they said they were going to email um the documentation to me because it was
[01:40:19.860 --> 01:40:25.460] in the archive and that it was coded so when i went back down there after they hadn't done it
[01:40:25.460 --> 01:40:32.500] the woman said oh actually i was wrong what it actually said was that you were told you and
[01:40:32.500 --> 01:40:38.100] your accountant were told that the business that sales tax did apply and you decided to close it
[01:40:38.100 --> 01:40:43.460] and said you come back in the next week to open it which makes actually no sense and that's not
[01:40:43.460 --> 01:40:49.780] what happened at the but you don't have that in writing i i have um it's actually not in writing
[01:40:49.780 --> 01:40:56.100] it's typed up the woman told me it was in code but when i got it it wasn't in code i don't know
[01:40:56.100 --> 01:41:00.180] what she's talking about in code she said oh i read it wrong because it was in code
[01:41:01.940 --> 01:41:06.980] but i was told my business did not it did not apply to my business and the woman actually
[01:41:06.980 --> 01:41:12.180] closed my sales tax ID and i'm not the only business owner of that type of business that was
[01:41:12.180 --> 01:41:18.420] told the same thing that it did not apply and then they come back years later and now i owe
[01:41:18.420 --> 01:41:24.580] penalties and interest and they told me even if i prove that i was given the wrong information
[01:41:24.580 --> 01:41:31.140] i would still be liable for do you have anything in writing by some public servant at the comptroller's
[01:41:31.140 --> 01:41:41.140] office that says that they closed your sales tax account because sales tax does not apply to your
[01:41:41.140 --> 01:41:46.340] business do you have that in writing no i do not they told me they were going to give it to me
[01:41:46.340 --> 01:41:50.660] and then when i when they didn't email it and i went back down then the story changed
[01:41:51.460 --> 01:41:57.700] and i have it in writing that says that it that it did apply and that i wanted to close it anyway
[01:41:58.340 --> 01:42:03.860] which was a total lie okay rule one you don't ever leave a government office without something
[01:42:03.860 --> 01:42:08.420] in writing to your benefit they wouldn't give me anything the first time i went down there
[01:42:08.420 --> 01:42:14.340] they couldn't find any records being closed rule two do not go into government office
[01:42:14.340 --> 01:42:19.540] and fail to record the conversation you're having in case they won't give you anything in writing
[01:42:19.540 --> 01:42:26.340] yeah kind of like 20 20 i didn't you know i've been naive thinking they're not as tough as they are
[01:42:26.340 --> 01:42:31.540] here's the issue escort services falls under the definition of personal services
[01:42:32.500 --> 01:42:43.140] personal services according to section 151.0101 are taxable however what you need to understand is
[01:42:43.140 --> 01:42:50.500] are you incorporated yes we incorporated in 2006 then you have a problem
[01:42:52.580 --> 01:43:01.460] okay the moment you incorporated you took any ability to not be liable right and threw it right
[01:43:01.460 --> 01:43:14.660] out the window okay now the first problem is is your accountant misadvised you second problem is
[01:43:15.780 --> 01:43:20.260] you didn't follow through with the government agency itself and make them provide you with
[01:43:20.260 --> 01:43:26.340] the information or the statute in question even if they wouldn't give you anything in writing
[01:43:26.340 --> 01:43:33.300] demand that they tell you what statute they're using to tell you whatever they tell you okay if
[01:43:33.300 --> 01:43:39.780] you fail to do that you're trusting in their word don't ever do that because they're clueless
[01:43:40.980 --> 01:43:45.220] okay hang on just a second lindsay we're going to go to break we'll try to finish this up on the

[01:46:32.500 --> 01:46:39.140] lindsay all right lindsay the issues you've got here with the sales taxes one you're incorporated
[01:46:39.780 --> 01:46:45.860] two escort services falls under the legal definition of personal services it is listed in
[01:46:45.860 --> 01:46:57.860] the tax code in 151.0101 as a taxable service i believe i had changed in 2003 changed what
[01:46:59.060 --> 01:47:04.100] where they've made it a taxable service as far as what i saw on the comptroller site
[01:47:04.100 --> 01:47:15.540] uh well let's see the last update to this particular section under 0101 was 2001
[01:47:16.500 --> 01:47:23.860] now in which case that definition and the section that actually lists escort services
[01:47:23.860 --> 01:47:36.100] which is 151.0045 was added in 1984 so it's been there for a while as far as what it is or isn't
[01:47:37.940 --> 01:47:44.180] okay so given that you're not going to be able to go back six years and say it didn't apply
[01:47:44.180 --> 01:47:49.140] because the statutes show that it does and if you've been incorporated that whole time it almost
[01:47:49.140 --> 01:47:57.060] assuredly is going to well we incorporated we started in 2004 and incorporated at the end of 2006
[01:47:57.620 --> 01:48:04.020] but they're not actually i had a redetermination hearing i was supposed to see a judge they sent
[01:48:04.020 --> 01:48:08.900] me a thing saying that they weren't going to give me a redetermination because i didn't send in
[01:48:08.900 --> 01:48:15.940] enough evidence so and i sent in everything they asked me to send in and then they claim that they
[01:48:15.940 --> 01:48:20.820] gave me a court date and i didn't show up i never received anything for a court date they said i
[01:48:20.820 --> 01:48:26.020] didn't sign it and the comptroller didn't sign it so they just dismissed the whole thing now they've
[01:48:26.020 --> 01:48:35.220] put um leans on my account um they want like $76,000 before they'll even do anything right
[01:48:35.220 --> 01:48:42.420] and this is exactly what the comptroller's office does they extort they steal they harass
[01:48:42.420 --> 01:48:48.500] us they really are an organized crime racket these guys so much they're not try to do something
[01:48:48.500 --> 01:48:54.020] about it this is not like the irs no i mean they're they're worse than the irs they think they are
[01:48:54.020 --> 01:48:59.380] went down there they couldn't find anything they couldn't find because i wanted i told them i said
[01:48:59.380 --> 01:49:05.620] i want paperwork of the day i went down and i was told by the comptroller i had a sales tax ID
[01:49:05.620 --> 01:49:12.100] okay here's the thing didn't apply they will make up whatever they can't find okay they'll make it up
[01:49:12.100 --> 01:49:18.900] out of thin air i've watched them do it personally they'll make it up there's no way that's what i
[01:49:18.900 --> 01:49:24.420] was thinking like there's no way to prove they made this up there's no way only if you can get a
[01:49:24.420 --> 01:49:30.420] forensic computer analyst to go in and see when the records in the computer were updated no but even
[01:49:30.420 --> 01:49:37.300] if i if i can prove that they were at fault and they gave me wrong information am i still liable
[01:49:37.300 --> 01:49:42.500] for the money it depends on who gave you the information to begin with if it was somebody
[01:49:42.500 --> 01:49:48.500] with the authority to make that determination then you have the right according to the supreme court
[01:49:49.060 --> 01:49:55.620] to rely on the advice of that governmental agency well yeah well she was a comptroller she was at
[01:49:55.620 --> 01:50:00.660] the comptroller's office when they wait wait wait wait wait there are all level of individuals at
[01:50:00.660 --> 01:50:07.140] the comptroller's office uh-huh okay only some of them can make those types of determinations and
[01:50:07.140 --> 01:50:14.900] have it stick the rest of them are peons do what is it the ones that can close your sales tax idea
[01:50:14.900 --> 01:50:22.180] though it says she again it depends the level of authority to determine what is and isn't
[01:50:22.180 --> 01:50:30.740] rest with the field in uh enforcement officers so without knowing who you specifically talk to
[01:50:30.740 --> 01:50:39.060] and what their job is i can't answer that okay okay a clerk can make a data entry that would
[01:50:39.060 --> 01:50:45.940] close an account okay but a field officer is the one who determines whether or not a tax is due and
[01:50:45.940 --> 01:50:54.980] owed they're different people and in some offices they're the same people it just depends well a
[01:50:54.980 --> 01:51:00.820] lot of my paperwork and looking back to even when i opened my sales tax id um they have a
[01:51:00.820 --> 01:51:07.060] driver's license number that is not mine it just none of it makes any sense any of the paperwork
[01:51:07.060 --> 01:51:15.460] they gave me when they did the audit they sent me my paperwork asking for information on 2005
[01:51:15.460 --> 01:51:21.940] and 2006 didn't give me a chance to send in anything because that came with my final audit
[01:51:22.580 --> 01:51:28.420] it came with it so what they did was just went ahead and um made a guesstimate what they thought i
[01:51:28.420 --> 01:51:34.260] would have made in 2005 yes and that's all they ever do they never substantiate their claims of
[01:51:34.260 --> 01:51:41.860] the amounts ever they never ever will they will cook them up out of thin air the only way you
[01:51:41.860 --> 01:51:47.700] stand any chance at all of going after these people is to sue the living crap out of them
[01:51:47.700 --> 01:51:55.060] for seizing your bank account without judicial authority okay yeah because i never saw a judge
[01:51:55.060 --> 01:51:59.620] i've been asking from the beginning i would like this to go before a judge and they've never given
[01:51:59.620 --> 01:52:05.940] me that opportunity adi do you know when it comes to these kinds of issues before the comptroller's
[01:52:05.940 --> 01:52:11.940] office is there an administrative process is there like an administrative all administrative
[01:52:11.940 --> 01:52:17.300] every bit of it's administrative have you lindy have you gone into an administrative hearing
[01:52:17.860 --> 01:52:24.660] not at all not at all adi do you know if under the statute is there an administrative hearing
[01:52:24.660 --> 01:52:30.660] absolutely that can be required to do all of that do you have to request it back and ask them i said
[01:52:30.660 --> 01:52:35.540] i never got administrative hearing they said well we sent you paperwork for one yeah well they lie
[01:52:35.540 --> 01:52:40.740] through their teeth they never ever set those administrative hearings they lie through their
[01:52:40.740 --> 01:52:45.380] feet they told me i could not do it again because it was over and done with them they were done with
[01:52:45.380 --> 01:52:52.740] the case lindy like i said you have to sue them lindy and first and first i said if i were you
[01:52:52.740 --> 01:52:58.740] i would file an open records request a formal open records request under the open records
[01:52:58.740 --> 01:53:06.580] statute of the state of texas to demand all paperwork all records that they have on you
[01:53:06.580 --> 01:53:14.180] and anything related to this uh tax account okay everything okay lindy you need to put some time
[01:53:14.180 --> 01:53:21.860] and effort into studying chapter 151 of the tax code if you will send me a contact email i will
[01:53:21.860 --> 01:53:28.180] send you my sales tax dissertation that will tell you all about what i went through the sales tax
[01:53:28.180 --> 01:53:35.540] code to find okay all right it's not going to imply apply to you in its entirety because you're
[01:53:35.540 --> 01:53:44.980] incorporated that's always a mistake always but now that you're there you have to deal with it so
[01:53:44.980 --> 01:53:51.460] there's some things you need to know now it's been a little over two years probably since i wrote
[01:53:51.460 --> 01:53:57.860] this there is enough a chance that the statutes have changed this past session but you need to
[01:53:57.860 --> 01:54:05.300] take what i send to you and read that and then go compare it to what's in there now okay okay but
[01:54:05.300 --> 01:54:12.980] send me an email eddie eddie at ruleoflawradio.com and i will send you the the white paper i wrote
[01:54:12.980 --> 01:54:19.620] on the sales tax and how would i go that would you would you send in that how i would go about
[01:54:19.620 --> 01:54:25.940] suing them for keeping my account you sue them like you would sue anybody else it's a legal
[01:54:25.940 --> 01:54:32.180] tort because of violation of your rights they took property without adjudication meaning your bank
[01:54:32.180 --> 01:54:39.300] account and your money mm-hmm there was no legal assessment made against you no one signed the
[01:54:39.300 --> 01:54:45.700] assessment document under penalty of perjury did they no too damn bad for that individual again
[01:54:46.500 --> 01:54:51.380] okay yeah there's been no legal assessment of taxes owed
[01:54:51.380 --> 01:54:57.860] and lindsay this is what i'm saying about filing the open records request you have to get
[01:54:57.860 --> 01:55:04.500] everything that they have on file all documentation especially concerning this administrative
[01:55:04.500 --> 01:55:11.460] process because it is a standard principle in the court system that you have to show
[01:55:11.460 --> 01:55:19.140] that you have exhausted all administrative remedies before you take it into the judicial system
[01:55:19.140 --> 01:55:24.420] or the case will be the or the case will be dismissed and where do i file the open records
[01:55:24.420 --> 01:55:36.100] request with the comptroller's office okay okay okay okay well thank you very much you're welcome
