[00:00.000 --> 00:04.800]  This news brief brought to you by the International Newsnet.
[00:04.800 --> 00:10.680]  A new ABC News-Washington Post Survey finds 60% of Americans believe the war in Afghanistan
[00:10.680 --> 00:17.400]  is not worth its costs and nearly the same number advocate an early U.S. pullout.
[00:17.400 --> 00:23.240]  The failed Icelandic bank, Old Lands Banky, has subpoenaed international auditors, Price
[00:23.240 --> 00:29.520]  Waterhouse Coopers, accusing the company of creating accounts that misled the markets.
[00:29.520 --> 00:33.840]  The committee's damages claim runs to hundreds of millions of dollars.
[00:33.840 --> 00:38.320]  The company is also accused of having known about Lands Banky's precarious position at
[00:38.320 --> 00:44.280]  the end of 2007, nine months before it went under.
[00:44.280 --> 00:48.480]  Conservationists raised fears Monday that rare speeches such as the giant tortoise in the
[00:48.480 --> 00:52.240]  Seychelles are at severe risk from climate change.
[00:52.240 --> 00:57.160]  Climate change expert Rolf Payet said, these seasons are merging, there's more rain but
[00:57.160 --> 01:02.840]  in short bursts with long dry periods adding, drinking water dries up and the climate plays
[01:02.840 --> 01:07.480]  havoc with breeding and feeding patterns.
[01:07.480 --> 01:11.800]  The Washington Post says federal, state and local officials are targeting groups they
[01:11.800 --> 01:15.000]  have labeled a threat to national security.
[01:15.000 --> 01:19.800]  Ben Kessler, a student at the University of North Texas and a national organizer for the
[01:19.800 --> 01:25.560]  environmental group Rising Tide, reported he was approached by an FBI agent who said
[01:25.560 --> 01:31.720]  the FBI had received an anonymous complaint and were looking into his opposition to fracking.
[01:31.720 --> 01:37.080]  The agent told him the bureau respected free speech but was, quote, worried about things
[01:37.080 --> 01:39.960]  being taken to an extreme level.
[01:39.960 --> 01:44.840]  Critics say fracking, which has been linked to air, water and soil contamination as well
[01:44.840 --> 01:47.960]  as earthquakes, is real ecoterrorism.
[01:47.960 --> 01:54.280]  FBI agents have also scrutinized protests aimed at blocking equipment exon mobile and
[01:54.280 --> 02:00.200]  other firms are using to extract heavy crude in Canada's oil sands passing through Moscow,
[02:00.200 --> 02:01.200]  Idaho.
[02:01.200 --> 02:07.640]  In Quebec, Canada, 65,000 university and high school students are on strike protesting
[02:07.640 --> 02:13.480]  the government of Jean Charest's plan to increase university fees by 75% over the next five
[02:13.480 --> 02:14.480]  years.
[02:14.480 --> 02:19.280]  After a first wave of students voted to strike in February, more have joined in.
[02:19.280 --> 02:23.920]  Several other student associations and unions will likely vote in favor of striking, possibly
[02:23.920 --> 02:25.840]  doubling the number of strikers.
[02:25.840 --> 02:30.360]  Charest claims there's not enough money to finance education, but opponents point out
[02:30.360 --> 02:35.560]  university rectors earn over $300,000 a year and that the government does nothing about
[02:35.560 --> 02:43.080]  the estimated $2.5 billion annually lost to tax evasion by the rich and big corporations.
[02:43.080 --> 02:48.520]  Quebec also gives large subsidies to corporations exporting Quebec's mineral resources.
[02:48.520 --> 02:55.520]  Currently 65% of Quebec students finish their studies on average $14,000 in debt.
[03:48.520 --> 03:55.080]  Alright folks, good evening, this is the Monday Night Rule of Law Traffic Show, this is Eddie
[03:55.080 --> 03:59.720]  Craig with Debra Stevens with Randy Kelton, of course we will not be here on Monday nights.
[03:59.720 --> 04:03.240]  It is March 12th, 2012.
[04:03.240 --> 04:08.800]  Now tonight Debra has some information she wants to go over that is pretty short, so
[04:08.800 --> 04:12.120]  Debra, would you want to go ahead and let folks know what's on your mind?
[04:12.120 --> 04:18.120]  Sure, I wanted to talk a little bit, this is kind of a generic liberty rant, but I think
[04:18.120 --> 04:19.720]  it's very timely.
[04:19.720 --> 04:24.360]  I got this email from Mike Miris actually and it just really touched me.
[04:24.360 --> 04:32.480]  It has to do with the decline of a republic, of a free republic in civilization from a
[04:32.480 --> 04:39.760]  historical perspective and I'm going to read this email here that he wrote me and it refers
[04:39.760 --> 04:46.840]  to a republic here as a democracy, they call it a democracy but you can use democracy and
[04:46.840 --> 04:50.440]  republic interchangeably here from a historical perspective.
[04:50.440 --> 04:54.600]  And of course we are not in a democracy, that's a lie.
[04:54.600 --> 05:03.120]  Democracy of course is mob rule, it is basically a situation where over 50% of the people could
[05:03.120 --> 05:09.600]  vote away the rights of the minority and that's why we have a republic, a constitutional republic
[05:09.600 --> 05:17.320]  which means that the individual's rights are protected no matter what, the majority cannot
[05:17.320 --> 05:25.640]  vote away our rights and so we have this republic where the rights of the individual are protected
[05:25.640 --> 05:33.560]  but yet supposedly our representatives are democratically elected which means of course
[05:33.560 --> 05:42.160]  that more than 50% of the voting population puts certain people into office to represent
[05:42.160 --> 05:43.160]  them.
[05:43.160 --> 05:46.680]  So we want to make it clear the difference between a democracy and a republic there
[05:46.680 --> 05:52.720]  but just for the sake of reading the email, this person was mentioning a democracy but
[05:52.720 --> 05:54.400]  just substitute republic here.
[05:54.400 --> 06:02.000]  All right, it says here, this is what, yes exactly and I just got a chat from my call
[06:02.000 --> 06:07.880]  screener as Alex Jones always says, a democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's
[06:07.880 --> 06:12.400]  for dinner and so we don't want that, it's not the kind of society we want here, we
[06:12.400 --> 06:14.760]  want everyone's rights to be protected.
[06:14.760 --> 06:24.760]  All right, so here's the email that Mira sent me, it says here that in 1887 Alexander Tyler,
[06:24.760 --> 06:31.440]  a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh had this to say about the fall
[06:31.440 --> 06:41.560]  of the Athenian Republic some 2000 years prior and Alexander Tyler said, a democracy is always
[06:41.560 --> 06:46.800]  temporary in nature, of course you could say here, I'm interjecting this, a republic is
[06:46.800 --> 06:52.800]  always temporary in nature, it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
[06:52.800 --> 07:00.880]  A democracy slash republic will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover
[07:00.880 --> 07:06.520]  that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
[07:06.520 --> 07:13.400]  From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits
[07:13.400 --> 07:21.160]  from the public treasury with the result that every democracy slash republic will finally
[07:21.160 --> 07:29.680]  collapse over loose fiscal policy which is always followed by a dictatorship.
[07:29.680 --> 07:37.200]  The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from beginning of history has been about 200
[07:37.200 --> 07:38.440]  years.
[07:38.440 --> 07:44.600]  During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence,
[07:44.600 --> 07:53.200]  from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty,
[07:53.200 --> 08:01.000]  from liberty to abundance, from abundance to complacency, from complacency to apathy,
[08:01.000 --> 08:08.560]  from apathy to dependence, and from dependence back into bondage.
[08:08.560 --> 08:12.360]  Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline, okay that's the end of the quote.
[08:12.360 --> 08:17.920]  So that was Alexander, quote from Alexander Tyler, again Scottish history professor at
[08:17.920 --> 08:26.240]  University of Edinburgh who wrote that in 1887 discussing the situation with the Athenian
[08:26.240 --> 08:29.400]  Republic, the fall of the Athenian Republic.
[08:29.400 --> 08:36.360]  Now Mike Meares goes on to say in this email, Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University
[08:36.360 --> 08:41.880]  School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota points out some interesting facts concerning the
[08:41.880 --> 08:46.000]  last presidential election.
[08:46.000 --> 08:51.840]  He breaks it down by a number of counties won by McCain versus a number of counties won
[08:51.840 --> 08:59.840]  by Obama, and the murder rates in these different counties, and the percentage of landowners
[08:59.840 --> 09:04.960]  and taxpayers, et cetera, I'm not going to read through all the stats, if folks want
[09:04.960 --> 09:06.640]  that they can email me.
[09:06.640 --> 09:10.360]  Just for the sake of time I didn't want to get into all the stats, but the conclusion
[09:10.360 --> 09:17.840]  is by Professor Olson that he says in aggregate the map of the territory that McCain won was
[09:17.840 --> 09:23.760]  mostly land owned by tax paying citizens.
[09:23.760 --> 09:31.960]  Mostly tax paying citizens voted for McCain whereas the Obama territory mostly encompassed
[09:31.960 --> 09:39.800]  citizens living in low income tenements and living off of various forms of government
[09:39.800 --> 09:47.800]  welfare, and Olson goes on to say, he says Olson believes the United States is now somewhere
[09:47.800 --> 09:55.040]  between the complacency and apathy phase of Professor Tyler's definition of the fall
[09:55.040 --> 10:02.320]  of a republic with some 40% of the nation's population already having reached the governmental
[10:02.320 --> 10:05.320]  dependency phase.
[10:05.320 --> 10:08.040]  Now folks I think that's putting it lightly.
[10:08.040 --> 10:17.000]  I think that for the most part this nation is already well between the apathy and dependency
[10:17.000 --> 10:22.560]  phase with most people in some form of dependency.
[10:22.560 --> 10:32.440]  And it says here, well this is just a commentary here by Olson that if Congress grants amnesty
[10:32.440 --> 10:39.600]  and citizenship to 20 million criminal invaders called illegal aliens and they vote then we
[10:39.600 --> 10:43.840]  can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
[10:43.840 --> 10:50.720]  Now folks these people are already receiving handouts big time from the government.
[10:50.720 --> 10:56.160]  Our federal government is paying these illegal aliens to come here.
[10:56.160 --> 10:58.960]  That's why they're here because of all the benefits.
[10:58.960 --> 11:06.160]  Now this is why I am so against governments provided services.
[11:06.160 --> 11:13.920]  All right, the role of government is not to provide services because when the government
[11:13.920 --> 11:19.280]  provides benefits and services this is what happens.
[11:19.280 --> 11:25.520]  Society becomes apathetic, complacent, apathetic and dependent on the government.
[11:25.520 --> 11:31.920]  We lose our liberty, we go back into bondage and folks this is a very important issue about
[11:31.920 --> 11:32.920]  liberty.
[11:32.920 --> 11:41.120]  All right, remember the beginning of what it said here, Professor Tyler's basic summary
[11:41.120 --> 11:46.800]  of the fall of a republic throughout the history of mankind.
[11:46.800 --> 11:53.000]  First there's bondage, then there's spiritual faith and eventually the faith leads to courage,
[11:53.000 --> 11:54.800]  the courage leads to liberty.
[11:54.800 --> 12:01.520]  It is very important for us to maintain our liberty for the sake of our spiritual faith.
[12:01.520 --> 12:04.560]  All right, and I wanted to read some verses here.
[12:04.560 --> 12:07.360]  This is Galatians 5 1.
[12:07.360 --> 12:13.680]  It says, it is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
[12:13.680 --> 12:21.840]  Stand fast therefore and do not be entangled with a yoke of slavery again.
[12:21.840 --> 12:30.040]  If we're going to maintain a healthy spiritual faith, we need to maintain our freedom and
[12:30.040 --> 12:32.480]  our liberty and our independence.
[12:32.480 --> 12:34.160]  Christ has set us free.
[12:34.160 --> 12:41.680]  All right, and God has given us free will from the beginning for one purpose mainly
[12:41.680 --> 12:48.680]  which is to choose him in our lives, to choose Christ Jesus as our savior and to choose God
[12:48.680 --> 12:54.640]  and to choose the way of goodness and righteousness and to choose the way of helping each other.
[12:54.640 --> 13:00.120]  All right, and if we don't have freedom, if we don't have liberty, we can't be healthy
[13:00.120 --> 13:05.640]  spiritually and we're just going to go back into bondage.
[13:05.640 --> 13:11.680]  Government services lead to bondage and that is the reason why we should not support that
[13:11.680 --> 13:12.680]  sort of thing.
[13:12.680 --> 13:16.600]  The proper role of government is not to provide services.
[13:16.600 --> 13:21.400]  We don't have a right to healthcare and these sorts of things that's a service.
[13:21.400 --> 13:27.760]  The role of government is to protect our life, our liberty and our property and nothing else.
[13:27.760 --> 13:30.040]  And I was going to read another verse here.
[13:30.040 --> 13:37.040]  This is John 8.32, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
[13:37.040 --> 13:39.720]  And Jesus says, I am the way, the truth and the life.
[13:39.720 --> 13:46.840]  And so, folks, this is very important, this whole message of freedom because it is for
[13:46.840 --> 13:48.720]  freedom that Christ has set us free.
[13:48.720 --> 13:54.080]  And we need to hold on to what we have and we need to continue to fight for it and stay
[13:54.080 --> 14:00.480]  out of bondage so we can have a healthy spiritual faith and to help others.
[14:00.480 --> 14:07.040]  And so, that is basically my rant tonight about liberty and freedom and spiritual faith
[14:07.040 --> 14:10.080]  and folks, we've got to continue to fight this fight.
[14:10.080 --> 14:11.600]  That's why we're on the air.
[14:11.600 --> 14:13.560]  We fought hard to stay on the air.
[14:13.560 --> 14:16.000]  We're still fighting to stay on the air.
[14:16.000 --> 14:22.040]  And that's why Eddie and Randy have worked so hard to bring you this message to help
[14:22.040 --> 14:26.160]  people free themselves in the court system.
[14:26.160 --> 14:29.080]  And so, that's what I have to say about that.
[14:29.080 --> 14:31.360]  So, Eddie, you have any comments?
[14:31.360 --> 14:39.040]  It all sounds good so far, so I agree with it.
[14:39.040 --> 14:41.960]  These are the things that we need to be aware of and that we're doing.
[14:41.960 --> 14:45.280]  It is time to start making hard choices, folks.
[14:45.280 --> 14:49.960]  You can either stand up for what you believe in or you can die on your knees begging for
[14:49.960 --> 14:52.040]  what you're allowed to have.
[14:52.040 --> 14:54.000]  That's really what it's going to boil down to.
[14:54.000 --> 14:59.760]  And that's why we support Ron Paul so much because he is the only one standing up for
[14:59.760 --> 15:04.680]  the message of liberty and the message of freedom and he's a real Christian.
[15:04.680 --> 15:10.160]  And he is fighting hard for our rights and he says no more government services.
[15:10.160 --> 15:16.800]  If we're going to maintain our liberty, we have to learn to give up our dependency on
[15:16.800 --> 15:17.800]  the government.
[15:17.800 --> 15:23.680]  We've got to learn to get out of the mindset that it's a good thing if the government,
[15:23.680 --> 15:31.040]  you know, bails out the banks or bails out businesses or this and that or if the government
[15:31.040 --> 15:37.160]  gives us food stamps or gives us welfare or gives us health care, no, it is not a good
[15:37.160 --> 15:38.160]  thing at all.
[15:38.160 --> 15:44.920]  It's a wolf and sheep's clothing and we need to value and treasure liberty and freedom
[15:44.920 --> 15:50.480]  much more above these free services because that is what leads us back into bondage is
[15:50.480 --> 15:54.200]  dependency.
[15:54.200 --> 15:55.200]  Amen.
[15:55.200 --> 15:56.200]  Praise the Lord.
[15:56.200 --> 15:57.200]  Pass the biscuits.
[15:57.200 --> 15:58.200]  Okay.
[15:58.200 --> 16:04.080]  Well, for as long as we're allowed to eat them, as long as, you know, hopefully it's not
[16:04.080 --> 16:06.760]  made but genetically modified wheat.
[16:06.760 --> 16:07.760]  Yeah.
[16:07.760 --> 16:12.000]  Well, you know, today we have genetically modified people.
[16:12.000 --> 16:17.640]  Anybody out there know why politicians never commit suicide by gunshot to the head because
[16:17.640 --> 16:20.640]  it's not a vital organ in their case.
[16:20.640 --> 16:21.640]  Okay.
[16:21.640 --> 16:22.640]  Okay.
[16:22.640 --> 16:23.640]  Eddie.
[16:23.640 --> 16:32.840]  So, given that this is a message they will never comprehend, Ron Paul is an anomaly.
[16:32.840 --> 16:34.680]  He is not the rule.
[16:34.680 --> 16:35.680]  Okay.
[16:35.680 --> 16:37.640]  We need to cherish the anomalies.
[16:37.640 --> 16:42.760]  They're all that's keeping us from becoming full blown slaves.
[16:42.760 --> 16:47.840]  And folks, we live in an incredible time right now with Alex Jones and Ron Paul and all you
[16:47.840 --> 16:49.200]  listeners out here.
[16:49.200 --> 16:50.520]  We can turn the tide.
[16:50.520 --> 16:52.280]  We can change the age.
[16:52.280 --> 16:55.200]  We can roll back this tyranny, but it's up to you.
[16:55.200 --> 17:00.680]  We'll be right back, folks.
[17:00.680 --> 17:01.680]  America is in trouble.
[17:01.680 --> 17:04.040]  Washington is a disgrace.
[17:04.040 --> 17:05.040]  Government has become too big.
[17:05.040 --> 17:06.040]  It's overtaxing, overspending.
[17:06.040 --> 17:07.040]  We need to change direction.
[17:07.040 --> 17:08.040]  We really need change.
[17:08.040 --> 17:12.560]  You can't afford to make the same mistakes we've made in the past.
[17:12.560 --> 17:14.800]  And Mitt Romney's reputation is a flip-flopper.
[17:14.800 --> 17:18.120]  He went the other way when he got paid to go the other way.
[17:18.120 --> 17:19.960]  There is need for economic stimulus.
[17:19.960 --> 17:21.480]  It's about serial hypocrisy.
[17:21.480 --> 17:23.480]  This election is about trust.
[17:23.480 --> 17:27.160]  There's been one true consistent candidate, and that's Dr. Ron Paul.
[17:27.160 --> 17:30.400]  Ron Paul has been so consistent from the very beginning.
[17:30.400 --> 17:32.280]  He seems like a more honest candidate.
[17:32.280 --> 17:35.040]  He tells the truth about what he believes, whether you like it or not.
[17:35.040 --> 17:39.760]  He's never once voted for a tax increase, never once voted for an unbalanced budget.
[17:39.760 --> 17:43.600]  Ron Paul's plan is bold, cut to five departments is what we need.
[17:43.600 --> 17:47.480]  When he says he's going to cut a trillion dollars in the first year, I believe it.
[17:47.480 --> 17:52.960]  If you don't like how things are going and tired of politicians, he's something different.
[17:52.960 --> 17:53.960]  Ron Paul.
[17:53.960 --> 17:54.960]  Ron Paul.
[17:54.960 --> 17:55.960]  Ron Paul.
[17:55.960 --> 17:56.960]  Ron Paul.
[17:56.960 --> 17:57.960]  Is the one we've been looking for.
[17:57.960 --> 18:00.560]  I'm Ron Paul, and I approve this message.
[18:00.560 --> 18:05.880]  Are you being harassed by debt collectors with phone calls, letters, or even lawsuits?
[18:05.880 --> 18:09.560]  Stop debt collectors now with the Michael Mears proven method.
[18:09.560 --> 18:13.720]  Michael Mears has won six cases in federal court against debt collectors, and now you
[18:13.720 --> 18:14.720]  can win two.
[18:14.720 --> 18:19.560]  You'll get step-by-step instructions in plain English on how to win in court using federal
[18:19.560 --> 18:21.160]  civil rights statutes.
[18:21.160 --> 18:24.840]  What to do when contacted by phones, mail, or court summons?
[18:24.840 --> 18:26.840]  How to answer letters and phone calls?
[18:26.840 --> 18:29.480]  How to get debt collectors out of your credit reports?
[18:29.480 --> 18:34.120]  How to turn the financial tables on them and make them pay you to go away?
[18:34.120 --> 18:39.240]  The Michael Mears proven method is the solution for how to stop debt collectors.
[18:39.240 --> 18:41.360]  Federal consultation is available as well.

[18:58.880 --> 19:11.880]  collectors now.
[19:11.880 --> 19:21.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one knows what God is, no one has answers.
[19:21.880 --> 19:31.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one knows what God is, no one has answers.
[19:31.880 --> 19:41.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one knows what God is, no one has answers.
[19:41.880 --> 19:51.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[19:51.880 --> 20:01.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[20:01.880 --> 20:11.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one knows what God is, no one has answers.
[20:11.880 --> 20:21.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[20:21.880 --> 20:31.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[20:31.880 --> 20:41.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[20:41.880 --> 20:51.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[20:51.880 --> 21:01.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[21:01.880 --> 21:11.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[21:11.880 --> 21:21.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one knows what God is, no one has answers.
[21:21.880 --> 21:31.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[21:31.880 --> 21:41.880]  Look one again, we ask for Christian, no one has answers.
[21:41.880 --> 21:51.880]  Alright folks, we're back. Sorry about the extended break. Eddie had a little bit of a technical issue, but we got him back.
[21:51.880 --> 22:03.880]  But I hope you enjoyed the song, Three Shoes Posse, that's my band, me and Jerry, our band, and perfect lyrics for the discussion in the previous segment.
[22:03.880 --> 22:13.880]  I like them love slavery because they get a handout from the government, you see. These people like their slavery, they love the slavery.
[22:13.880 --> 22:19.880]  Why? Why do they love the bondage? Because they get the free handout. Now do you see how dangerous this is people?
[22:19.880 --> 22:32.880]  I hope y'all are starting to realize it's not cute, it's not funny, it's not pretty, it's not humanitarian, it's not good-natured for the government to be giving us a handout.
[22:32.880 --> 22:41.880]  Alright, we need to be giving each other handouts. We need to be setting up private charities and donating to private charities and our churches and these sorts of things.
[22:41.880 --> 22:51.880]  We don't need to be having the government enslave us in order to allegedly take care of us. Alright, so that's the end of my rant.
[22:51.880 --> 22:55.880]  Alright Eddie, are you ready to take some calls or do you have some material you want to present?
[22:55.880 --> 23:11.880]  Well, there is something that I would like to get folks to do and a couple of messages I need to get out there. The first thing is, okay, this past Saturday I received in the mail the denial of my motion for new trial from the Austin Municipal Court.
[23:11.880 --> 23:17.880]  Turns out that they denied the motion two days before that.
[23:17.880 --> 23:27.880]  So we lost two days because we have ten days from the date the order is issued in which to get the appeal filed.
[23:27.880 --> 23:37.880]  Now we're looking at the options of doing the Informa Poparis, however, in the event that they will not allow us to do that.
[23:37.880 --> 23:50.880]  I have set down and calculated this out by calling the court report everything to find out what the accelerated appeal cost is because that's what this is going to wind up being is an accelerated appeal dealing with the transcript.
[23:50.880 --> 24:06.880]  The fines I've got to post the bond on are $602 total, $25 for the court costs and almost double the 525 estimate for the transcript because of the accelerated appeal.
[24:06.880 --> 24:11.880]  So all told, we need right around $1600.
[24:11.880 --> 24:27.880]  Right now as of yesterday at the class, I've got $180 that's been donated toward that plus another $100 and so that was donated prior to that.
[24:27.880 --> 24:37.880]  So folks, that's what our goal is is $1600. Unfortunately, we've got to get that raised by Friday.
[24:37.880 --> 24:53.880]  Friday is our drop dead date because of the two days they deprived us of last week by not notifying me via email or phone as well as by mailing that the petition for new trial had been denied.
[24:53.880 --> 25:02.880]  So that's where we're at in my case moving forward on the appeal so your assistance is greatly needed and greatly appreciated.
[25:02.880 --> 25:05.880]  So please help us get there before Friday.
[25:05.880 --> 25:20.880]  That being said, also there is a research project that I would seriously ask the people that are out there listening to take up and look at your own state constitutions if you're not a listener from Texas.
[25:20.880 --> 25:32.880]  But here in Texas, I would like for the folks to go to the Troughton Law Library website and research the Texas Constitution Digitization Project.
[25:32.880 --> 25:49.880]  They are actually taking scanned images of the original Texas constitutions that are actually handwritten, of course, and they are transcribing them over into electronic form and putting them on the Internet alongside the digitized images of the original project.
[25:49.880 --> 26:07.880]  Now, it's got every iteration of the Texas Constitution that we've had from the 1820s version before we actually won independence from Mexico all the way through the 1876 version.
[26:07.880 --> 26:19.880]  But the part that I really want you to look at is dealing with the judicial department in the 1869, which is the version that immediately preceded the 1876.
[26:19.880 --> 26:29.880]  That was the actual what they call the Reformation or Reconstruction Constitution right after the Civil War had occurred.
[26:29.880 --> 26:38.880]  In that, you're going to find some very interesting information, especially under Article 5, Section 17.
[26:38.880 --> 26:47.880]  Now, and 16 as well, I'm going to read these two paragraphs to you and I want you to listen carefully to what they're actually saying here.
[26:47.880 --> 27:07.880]  Section 16, in all cases of law or equity, when the matter in controversy shall be valued at or exceed $10, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved unless the same shall be waived by the parties or their attorneys,
[27:07.880 --> 27:25.880]  except in cases where a defendant may fail to appear and answer within the time prescribed by law and the cause of action is liquidated and proved by an instrument in writing.
[27:25.880 --> 27:44.880]  Okay, now let's look at 17. Every criminal offense that may be by law or by law be punished by death or in the discretion of the jury by imprisonment to hard labor for life,
[27:44.880 --> 27:59.880]  and every offense that may by law be punished by imprisonment in the state penitentiary shall be deemed a felony and shall only be tried upon an indictment found by a grand jury.
[27:59.880 --> 28:19.880]  But all offenses of a less grade than a felony may be prosecuted upon complaint under oath by any peace officer or citizen before any justice of the peace or other inferior tribunal
[28:19.880 --> 28:33.880]  that may be established by law and the party so prosecuted shall have the right of trial by a jury to be summoned in such manner as may be prescribed by law.
[28:33.880 --> 28:44.880]  Okay, now if you'll notice in 17, peace officers and private citizens could prosecute any misdemeanor case.
[28:44.880 --> 28:53.880]  We did not have to have somebody representing the state to agree to prosecute somebody.
[28:53.880 --> 29:07.880]  We had the right to file the criminal complaint and proceed criminally against anybody that committed a misdemeanor crime.
[29:07.880 --> 29:16.880]  Now folks, that was a very important power, a very important power.
[29:16.880 --> 29:26.880]  Why? Because we have public servants committing freaking misdemeanors of every class every single day.
[29:26.880 --> 29:39.880]  How much more control would we have of our public servants if we could personally file and prosecute criminal action by those public servants?
[29:39.880 --> 29:41.880]  I love it.
[29:41.880 --> 29:46.880]  Okay, this is something we need to look at making them put back in the Constitution.
[29:46.880 --> 29:56.880]  Alright folks, this is rule of law radio. Call in numbers 512-646-1984. We will start taking your calls on the other side of the break.
[29:56.880 --> 29:59.880]  Mrs. Eddie Craig, Deborah Stevens, Randy Kelton will be right.
[29:59.880 --> 30:06.880]  A noble lie, Oklahoma City 1995 will change forever the way you look at the true nature of terrorism.
[30:06.880 --> 30:10.880]  Based on the damage patting to the building, but the government seems impossible.
[30:10.880 --> 30:13.880]  The grand jury did not want to hear anything I had to say.
[30:13.880 --> 30:17.880]  The decision was made not to pursue any more of those individuals.
[30:17.880 --> 30:21.880]  Some of these columns were ripped up, shredded, tossed around.
[30:21.880 --> 30:25.880]  The people that did the things they did knew doggone well what they were doing.
[30:25.880 --> 30:29.880]  Expose the cover up now at anoblelive.com
[30:29.880 --> 30:36.880]  I'm sorry. It's what you say when you screw up. Then you fix the problem and make sure it never happens again.
[30:36.880 --> 30:41.880]  But Monsanto, the GMOC giant seems to believe might makes right.
[30:41.880 --> 30:45.880]  I've got your Catherine Albrecht and I'll give you the details in just a moment.
[31:12.880 --> 31:18.880]  Monsanto's genetically modified seeds have infiltrated organic farms taking root where they're not wanted.
[31:18.880 --> 31:22.880]  These unwelcome invaders contaminate fields and destroy organic seeds.
[31:22.880 --> 31:27.880]  But instead of apologizing, Monsanto has actually sued some of the organic farmers.
[31:27.880 --> 31:32.880]  They claim farms are infringing on their patents by growing crops with their seed technology.
[31:32.880 --> 31:33.880]  What nerve!
[31:33.880 --> 31:37.880]  But the tables are turning. The public patent foundation is suing Monsanto,
[31:37.880 --> 31:41.880]  pointing out that their GMO seeds are actually trespassing on the farmer's land.
[31:41.880 --> 31:45.880]  What's more, they say Monsanto patents should be invalidated
[31:45.880 --> 31:50.880]  because they are injurious to the well-being, good policy, and sound morals of society.
[31:50.880 --> 31:51.880]  Here, here.
[31:51.880 --> 31:57.880]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com.
[31:57.880 --> 32:11.880]  Yeah, I got the warrant. And I'm gonna solve them. To the head of government them.
[32:11.880 --> 32:13.880]  Pursue them.
[32:13.880 --> 32:17.880]  Okay.
[32:17.880 --> 32:20.880]  All set.
[32:20.880 --> 32:30.880]  All set.
[32:30.880 --> 32:37.880]  All set.
[32:37.880 --> 32:40.880]  Hi, folks. We are back at Rural Law Radio.
[32:40.880 --> 32:43.880]  This is your host, Eddie Craig with Deborah Stevens.
[32:43.880 --> 32:49.880]  Okay. Now, just for the purposes of getting this money in as fast as possible,
[32:49.880 --> 32:54.880]  for the moment, if you wish to contribute and donate to the fund to do this,
[32:54.880 --> 33:02.880]  please go to the Donate button on the Rural Law website and then click on Make a Donation to Eddie.
[33:02.880 --> 33:06.880]  You can make a note designating this as a donation for the legal fund.
[33:06.880 --> 33:12.880]  Deborah is going to set up a chip-in like we did for Randy's case.
[33:12.880 --> 33:16.880]  She's gonna set that up on the website so we can get the money raised.
[33:16.880 --> 33:21.880]  And also, don't forget that once we complete this, we're still gonna need your help
[33:21.880 --> 33:26.880]  continuing through raising the funds for the federal lawsuit that is to follow.
[33:26.880 --> 33:31.880]  We have absolutely no doubt we're going to get the case overturned on appeal.
[33:31.880 --> 33:36.880]  If it's not at the original appellate level, it will most assuredly get overturned
[33:36.880 --> 33:40.880]  at the Texas criminal appeals and Texas Supreme Court level
[33:40.880 --> 33:43.880]  because we will be petitioning both courts at the same time
[33:43.880 --> 33:49.880]  because we are asserting that this was never a criminal case to begin with.
[33:49.880 --> 33:55.880]  The court never got jurisdiction in order to make it a criminal case.
[33:55.880 --> 33:59.880]  So we are challenging the final appeal level if we have to,
[33:59.880 --> 34:05.880]  not only in the court of criminal appeals, but also in the Texas Supreme Court simultaneously.
[34:05.880 --> 34:11.880]  And as soon as we get it overturned, we will be getting into getting the federal lawsuit filed.
[34:11.880 --> 34:13.880]  So please continue to donate and help.
[34:13.880 --> 34:17.880]  And I want to just make a comment here about this case of Eddie's folks.
[34:17.880 --> 34:24.880]  Listen, Eddie is in a perfect position to really fight this battle
[34:24.880 --> 34:30.880]  regarding all these illegal procedures that these rogues are involved in
[34:30.880 --> 34:35.880]  and engaged in in the municipal courts and involving traffic tickets and everything.
[34:35.880 --> 34:37.880]  Eddie doesn't have a driver's license.
[34:37.880 --> 34:42.880]  He's made the stand that because he's not in commerce, the transportation code doesn't apply
[34:42.880 --> 34:45.880]  and that is absolutely the God's honest truth.
[34:45.880 --> 34:49.880]  The transportation code only applies to commercial drivers.
[34:49.880 --> 34:54.880]  All driver's licenses are commercial driver's licenses unless you're like a cab driver
[34:54.880 --> 34:58.880]  or a limo driver or you're driving an 18-wheeler,
[34:58.880 --> 35:05.880]  unless you're transporting goods or passengers for hire from point A to point B on the public roads,
[35:05.880 --> 35:10.880]  you don't need a driver's license, you don't need registration or tags or any of that stuff,
[35:10.880 --> 35:14.880]  but it's a difficult battle to fight and he's taking it on.
[35:14.880 --> 35:18.880]  And so for those of us out there who are not taking on that battle,
[35:18.880 --> 35:22.880]  because like me, I've got too many other battles on my plate anyway,
[35:22.880 --> 35:26.880]  or some folks, maybe you just don't have traffic tickets.
[35:26.880 --> 35:31.880]  You have to have received a traffic ticket in order to have standing to fight this battle anyway.
[35:31.880 --> 35:37.880]  So folks, we really need to get behind Eddie here with his lawsuit and this appeal,
[35:37.880 --> 35:43.880]  but in order to do the lawsuit, you have to do the appeal first and this is what the bad guys do
[35:43.880 --> 35:49.880]  in order to stop people from fighting this fight in order to block us
[35:49.880 --> 35:57.880]  and in order to protect their criminal racket is that they set up these appeal bonds
[35:57.880 --> 36:03.880]  to be so expensive, double the amount of the ticket, which is expensive enough as it is,
[36:03.880 --> 36:08.880]  and so people just simply can't afford to do the appeal.
[36:08.880 --> 36:14.880]  All right, well, we've got to get behind Eddie and donate this money to pay for this appeal
[36:14.880 --> 36:22.880]  so that we can take down this rogue criminal racket once and for all of...
[36:22.880 --> 36:27.880]  I mean, I can't tell you how angry I was the last time I went up to the municipal court
[36:27.880 --> 36:33.880]  to try to get some paperwork that was on file for one of Jerry's cases.
[36:33.880 --> 36:41.880]  Hundreds of people, 200 people in the lobby standing room only for one purpose.
[36:41.880 --> 36:44.880]  Cha-ching, cha-ching.
[36:44.880 --> 36:49.880]  Okay, it's infuriating, folks, because this is the slavery.
[36:49.880 --> 36:52.880]  This is the bondage and I can't tolerate it.
[36:52.880 --> 36:58.880]  I just can't understand it and so, folks, I'm really strongly begging you all out there,
[36:58.880 --> 37:03.880]  please donate anything you can, even $5, $10, whatever you can,
[37:03.880 --> 37:07.880]  because if Eddie can successfully get through this case, and I know he can,
[37:07.880 --> 37:14.880]  with the help that we've got around here, especially with the Lord Jesus himself guiding us all the way,
[37:14.880 --> 37:19.880]  we can make a difference with this one case and it will benefit all of us.
[37:19.880 --> 37:22.880]  Okay, that's my tie rate on that.
[37:22.880 --> 37:24.880]  Go ahead, Eddie.
[37:24.880 --> 37:28.880]  And it's a trade that's actually very appreciated.
[37:28.880 --> 37:30.880]  All right, we do have a couple of callers up on the board.
[37:30.880 --> 37:32.880]  Ron in Arizona and Dan in Connecticut.
[37:32.880 --> 37:34.880]  Let's go to Ron.
[37:34.880 --> 37:36.880]  Ron, what can we do for you?
[37:36.880 --> 37:39.880]  Yeah, I'm just wondering if I could get your advice.
[37:39.880 --> 37:49.880]  I'm in this kind of trumped up criminal case and basically, I heard your talk on due process,
[37:49.880 --> 37:54.880]  I believe it was a few weeks ago, and I'm raising these points to the court.
[37:54.880 --> 37:59.880]  So what they did is they said that I could no longer file documents.
[37:59.880 --> 38:06.880]  They said they appointed an attorney because I was representing myself and then I wrote paperwork
[38:06.880 --> 38:11.880]  saying that no, I don't consent to an attorney and that I'm going to represent myself.
[38:11.880 --> 38:15.880]  And then they held a hearing and they said, no, you can't represent yourself.
[38:15.880 --> 38:17.880]  You're incompetent.
[38:17.880 --> 38:18.880]  Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[38:18.880 --> 38:20.880]  When did they hold a competency hearing?
[38:20.880 --> 38:22.880]  That was March 1st.
[38:22.880 --> 38:25.880]  They held a competency hearing?
[38:25.880 --> 38:28.880]  Yeah, to see.
[38:28.880 --> 38:35.880]  They basically didn't have any counterarguments to the points I was bringing up.
[38:35.880 --> 38:37.880]  Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[38:37.880 --> 38:38.880]  Hold on.
[38:38.880 --> 38:41.880]  You're not answering my question here.
[38:41.880 --> 38:43.880]  You're telling me that you had a hearing.
[38:43.880 --> 38:44.880]  Right.
[38:44.880 --> 38:45.880]  Okay.
[38:45.880 --> 38:49.880]  Was it specifically a competency hearing?
[38:49.880 --> 38:58.880]  It was a hearing to determine whether they would allow me to represent myself.
[38:58.880 --> 39:07.880]  Okay, and did you bother to read up on the rules there in Arizona as to what they must do in such a hearing?
[39:07.880 --> 39:10.880]  No, I didn't.
[39:10.880 --> 39:11.880]  Okay.
[39:11.880 --> 39:13.880]  Then...
[39:13.880 --> 39:18.880]  Have you been declared mentally incompetent by a court?
[39:18.880 --> 39:20.880]  Because if you have...
[39:20.880 --> 39:22.880]  Now, according to what we're hearing...
[39:22.880 --> 39:28.880]  I'm asking, because if you have, then they've basically taken away all your rights.
[39:28.880 --> 39:35.880]  I mean, have you been assigned a psychotherapist, a court-ordered psychologist, or psychiatrist?
[39:35.880 --> 39:38.880]  Did you undergo any type of mental evaluation?
[39:38.880 --> 39:39.880]  Yeah, that too.
[39:39.880 --> 39:40.880]  No.
[39:40.880 --> 39:41.880]  Okay, then it probably...
[39:41.880 --> 39:44.880]  Where did they get a competency evaluation from?
[39:44.880 --> 39:48.880]  Who in the courtroom was qualified to make that determination?
[39:48.880 --> 39:50.880]  Well, the judge may be.
[39:50.880 --> 39:53.880]  Well, the judge is not a psychologist, is he?
[39:53.880 --> 39:54.880]  No.
[39:54.880 --> 39:57.880]  Then again, you need to be reading the rules.
[39:57.880 --> 39:58.880]  Okay.
[39:58.880 --> 40:12.880]  Do the rules say that they can only do this if there is a competency evaluation by a licensed professional that makes the determination that you are not a sound mind in order to defend yourself?
[40:12.880 --> 40:16.880]  Okay, so that was not done, so in my case...
[40:16.880 --> 40:18.880]  Well, wait a minute.
[40:18.880 --> 40:23.880]  You need to read the rules and see if it's even required to be done.
[40:23.880 --> 40:24.880]  Okay.
[40:24.880 --> 40:27.880]  Then whether or not it was done matters.
[40:27.880 --> 40:29.880]  Okay.
[40:29.880 --> 40:34.880]  Somehow I doubt that this was really a competency hearing.
[40:34.880 --> 40:35.880]  Okay, well...
[40:35.880 --> 40:40.880]  Did the judge actually use the word incompetent?
[40:40.880 --> 40:42.880]  Not that I recall.
[40:42.880 --> 40:47.880]  Okay, because you said that the judge said that you were incompetent and you couldn't represent yourself.
[40:47.880 --> 40:54.880]  Well, the bottom line is what I was wondering is, can I continue to file paperwork?
[40:54.880 --> 40:55.880]  No.
[40:55.880 --> 41:00.880]  If they declared you incompetent and assigned to counsel, you can't do anything.
[41:00.880 --> 41:02.880]  You're a one-year-old.
[41:02.880 --> 41:03.880]  Well, now, wait a minute.
[41:03.880 --> 41:05.880]  And the lawyer is your keeper.
[41:05.880 --> 41:06.880]  Now, wait a minute.
[41:06.880 --> 41:10.880]  He just said that the judge never actually used the word incompetent.
[41:10.880 --> 41:11.880]  So what...
[41:11.880 --> 41:12.880]  Okay, but wait a minute.
[41:12.880 --> 41:19.880]  He assigned him counsel, which means he can't do anything unless there's a specific statute
[41:19.880 --> 41:28.880]  in place in Arizona that allows him to continue to act in his own behalf even if he does have counsel.
[41:28.880 --> 41:30.880]  That's the problem.
[41:30.880 --> 41:35.880]  At the moment, they said he's incompetent to defend himself and assigned him an attorney.
[41:35.880 --> 41:42.880]  And right now, like it or not, he has counsel and he can't do anything in his own behalf.
[41:42.880 --> 41:48.880]  He has to find out whether or not this hearing was legal, whether or not this attorney was properly assigned,
[41:48.880 --> 41:54.880]  and whether or not the judge acted outside of his lawful authority by attempting to declare him competent
[41:54.880 --> 41:59.880]  without an official finding by a licensed psychologist.
[41:59.880 --> 42:00.880]  Okay.
[42:00.880 --> 42:04.880]  Yeah, these are all things you're going to have to look up, Ron, because this is Arizona.
[42:04.880 --> 42:10.880]  We're speaking from a general perspective here, but I would tell people the same thing
[42:10.880 --> 42:11.880]  even regarding Texas law.
[42:11.880 --> 42:13.880]  You're going to have to look it up.
[42:13.880 --> 42:15.880]  All right.
[42:15.880 --> 42:22.880]  The bottom line is can courts force counsel upon you if you don't consent?
[42:22.880 --> 42:24.880]  Depends on the level of the offense.
[42:24.880 --> 42:30.880]  In Texas, they can do it for capital offenses, meaning ones you can be put to death for.
[42:30.880 --> 42:31.880]  Okay.
[42:31.880 --> 42:36.880]  Any other one, you have the right as long as you do it in writing to waive counsel.
[42:36.880 --> 42:43.880]  Unless you are declared mentally incompetent by the court, which is a huge process,
[42:43.880 --> 42:50.880]  and there has to be a hearing, there has to be psych evaluations, and there has to be testimony under oath.
[42:50.880 --> 42:51.880]  Here in Texas.
[42:51.880 --> 42:56.880]  Yes, here in Texas, but you're in Arizona, it's different.
[42:56.880 --> 42:57.880]  Okay.
[42:57.880 --> 42:58.880]  All right.
[42:58.880 --> 42:59.880]  It's possible it's different, yes.
[42:59.880 --> 43:03.880]  It's possible that it's different, but it's Arizona.
[43:03.880 --> 43:04.880]  It's not Texas.
[43:04.880 --> 43:06.880]  So these are things you have to look.
[43:06.880 --> 43:12.880]  You've got to look up the statute yourself regarding whether or not you have the right to waive counsel.
[43:12.880 --> 43:13.880]  Okay.
[43:13.880 --> 43:15.880]  In your situation.
[43:15.880 --> 43:17.880]  Okay.
[43:17.880 --> 43:25.880]  Because here, like Eddie says, here in Texas, only if it's a capital offense, can the court
[43:25.880 --> 43:31.880]  require and thrust an attorney on you as representation.
[43:31.880 --> 43:34.880]  You don't have the right to waive representation in capital offense.
[43:34.880 --> 43:35.880]  Okay.
[43:35.880 --> 43:38.880]  So you need to look up the laws and the rules in your state, okay?
[43:38.880 --> 43:39.880]  Okay.
[43:39.880 --> 43:40.880]  Okay.
[43:40.880 --> 43:41.880]  All right.
[43:41.880 --> 43:42.880]  Thank you, Ron.
[43:42.880 --> 43:43.880]  Okay.
[43:43.880 --> 43:44.880]  Bye-bye.
[43:44.880 --> 43:45.880]  All right, folks.
[43:45.880 --> 43:47.880]  Calling number 512-646-1984.
[43:47.880 --> 43:50.880]  We'll get back when we take Dan to Connecticut.
[43:50.880 --> 43:53.880]  He is our last caller, so now's the time to get in line.
[43:53.880 --> 43:54.880]  Don't wait until the last minute.
[43:54.880 --> 43:56.880]  We've got a little over an hour left in the show.
[43:56.880 --> 44:25.880]  We'll be right back after this break.
[44:26.880 --> 44:27.880]  Okay.
[44:27.880 --> 44:56.880]  All right.
[44:57.880 --> 44:59.880]  All right.
[44:59.880 --> 45:00.880]  Okay.
[45:00.880 --> 45:01.880]  Thank you.
[45:01.880 --> 45:02.880]  Bye-bye.
[45:02.880 --> 45:03.880]  Bye.
[45:03.880 --> 45:04.880]  Bye.
[45:04.880 --> 45:30.880]  All right.
[45:30.880 --> 45:56.880]  Thank you.
[45:56.880 --> 46:03.880]  For more information, please visit okcbombingtruth.com.
[46:26.880 --> 46:36.880]  Thank you.
[46:36.880 --> 46:46.880]  All right.
[46:46.880 --> 46:57.880]  Thank you.
[46:57.880 --> 46:58.880]  All right, folks.
[46:58.880 --> 46:59.880]  We are back.
[46:59.880 --> 47:00.880]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[47:00.880 --> 47:04.880]  If you guys don't keep calling in on more regular basis here instead of leaving us hanging,
[47:04.880 --> 47:10.880]  I want to rename this show from Traffic to Eddie's New Recipes Show just to have something
[47:10.880 --> 47:11.880]  to talk about.
[47:11.880 --> 47:14.880]  Hey, we got another caller coming up on the board.
[47:14.880 --> 47:15.880]  All right.
[47:15.880 --> 47:17.880]  I'm going to Dan in Connecticut, Jerry in Kansas.
[47:17.880 --> 47:18.880]  I'll see you there.
[47:18.880 --> 47:20.880]  Hang on, and I'll be right with you.
[47:20.880 --> 47:22.880]  Ian and Dan, what can we do for you?
[47:22.880 --> 47:24.880]  Oh, boy, I have a story for you.
[47:24.880 --> 47:29.880]  Have you ever seen a whole bunch of pro-stays gang up on a law firm and sue it?
[47:29.880 --> 47:33.880]  No, but I'd be really interested in being party to it.
[47:33.880 --> 47:36.880]  Oh, well, anyway, here's the story.
[47:36.880 --> 47:38.880]  I'll just put out a website these guys put out.
[47:38.880 --> 47:41.880]  It's called thenorwichadvocacygroup.com.
[47:41.880 --> 47:44.880]  If you want to go to that your own, follow along.
[47:44.880 --> 47:45.880]  That's helpful.
[47:45.880 --> 47:48.880]  Norwichadvocacygroup.com?
[47:48.880 --> 47:50.880]  The Norwichadvocacygroup.com.
[47:50.880 --> 47:54.880]  I told one of the plaintiffs, I'm like, you know, that sounds like a lobbying firm,
[47:54.880 --> 47:55.880]  but nonetheless, it works.
[47:55.880 --> 47:57.880]  It's got a nice ring to it.
[47:57.880 --> 48:03.880]  Anyway, long story short, there's a municipality in Connecticut, specifically Norwich Connecticut,
[48:03.880 --> 48:09.880]  that has a unique provision in its city charter saying that there shall be a corporation council.
[48:09.880 --> 48:14.880]  And according to that provision, that would be Chapter 16, Section 1 of the charter,
[48:14.880 --> 48:18.880]  that guy is supposed to draft all the pleadings and instruments the city is a party to,
[48:18.880 --> 48:23.880]  which includes some in this complaint, stipulated judgments, offers and compromise,
[48:23.880 --> 48:25.880]  all that fun stuff.
[48:25.880 --> 48:31.880]  And if the suit involves more than $12,000, they have to go to city council and get approval for it.
[48:31.880 --> 48:35.880]  The bottom line here is that they never did that for the last six years.
[48:35.880 --> 48:39.880]  And the real corporation council hasn't showed up, he's never filed an appearance,
[48:39.880 --> 48:40.880]  he's never done nothing.
[48:40.880 --> 48:44.880]  But instead, he's farmed out all the work to his law firm.
[48:44.880 --> 48:45.880]  Does that ring up nepotism?
[48:45.880 --> 48:46.880]  Sure does.
[48:46.880 --> 48:55.880]  Long story short, four plaintiffs, all pro-says, they filed a 63-page complaint in the nature of quail warranty.
[48:55.880 --> 49:02.880]  And they actually went for restraining order, which is on for next Monday, March 19th.
[49:02.880 --> 49:03.880]  Cool.
[49:03.880 --> 49:04.880]  Yeah, really cool.
[49:04.880 --> 49:10.880]  The worst part about it is one of the plaintiffs actually barred grieve the attorney doing all the tax foreclosures,
[49:10.880 --> 49:15.880]  and she actually admitted she never required any authority of any kind until 2010.
[49:15.880 --> 49:22.880]  One problem, she's been filing foreclosure accidents since 2004.
[49:22.880 --> 49:24.880]  Yeah, that is a problem.
[49:24.880 --> 49:28.880]  That is a problem, impersonating a public servant.
[49:28.880 --> 49:36.880]  Yeah, and the great thing about quail warranty on Connecticut is the burden of proof is on the defendant.
[49:36.880 --> 49:40.880]  Well, that would be the case in any state I would have to think.
[49:40.880 --> 49:46.880]  But yeah, the funniest thing happened with this is once they filed the lawsuit, it became very public.
[49:46.880 --> 49:52.880]  It ended up in the newspapers and even got on the radio.
[49:52.880 --> 49:59.880]  But yeah, a long story short is the more they've been pushing the issue, the crazier their activities have been gotten,
[49:59.880 --> 50:06.880]  because one attorney in the firm does the foreclosures, another, when they acquire the properties, he'll go out and do the evictions.
[50:06.880 --> 50:16.880]  This got raised in court on an eviction hearing for a motion to dismiss, and the date of that hearing, I believe, was February 17th.
[50:16.880 --> 50:18.880]  What did he do two days later?
[50:18.880 --> 50:23.880]  He went to the city council and he wanted to get appointed assistant corporation council.
[50:23.880 --> 50:30.880]  The problem is he filed the complaint to evict this person in December.
[50:30.880 --> 50:31.880]  All right.
[50:31.880 --> 50:32.880]  That's funny, huh?
[50:32.880 --> 50:33.880]  Yeah.
[50:33.880 --> 50:37.880]  But yeah, the long story short is there's anybody listening in Connecticut.
[50:37.880 --> 50:42.880]  The hearing is on March 19th, 9.30 a.m. at New London Superior Court.
[50:42.880 --> 50:51.880]  We need lots of people to go down there and make sure they have their eye on things just in case anything funny happens.
[50:51.880 --> 50:55.880]  Well, that's not a lawyer joke, but the joke may be on the lawyers.
[50:55.880 --> 50:56.880]  Yeah.
[50:56.880 --> 51:01.880]  The crazy thing is this has been going on for years.
[51:01.880 --> 51:10.880]  I know there was one attorney, I'm not going to mention his name, but he raised a concern about it and lets you say he got the golden parachute out of it.
[51:10.880 --> 51:12.880]  So this is fairly big.
[51:12.880 --> 51:17.880]  I know it's been an issue that's actually been up in the appellate level so far.
[51:17.880 --> 51:20.880]  The odd thing is nobody wants to comment on it.
[51:20.880 --> 51:26.880]  There's been no articulation from any judge of any kind concerning the issue raised when it comes up.
[51:26.880 --> 51:27.880]  Well, of course not.
[51:27.880 --> 51:32.880]  When it's all bowled down to its bare essentials, they're all guilty of the same thing.
[51:32.880 --> 51:38.880]  They don't say anything because that's how they got to where they are.
[51:38.880 --> 51:48.880]  Yeah, the good news is there are a lot of people that got together and started communicating about it and the more and more they shared information,
[51:48.880 --> 51:54.880]  the more and more they found out that everything was happening to kind of like with traffic and all those other things.
[51:54.880 --> 52:01.880]  But it got so crazy that basically people, you know how economic times are, they're basically trying to pay their taxes.
[52:01.880 --> 52:04.880]  They just want to pay their damn taxes.
[52:04.880 --> 52:10.880]  So basically what happened, one of the plaintiffs, she actually went to the tax collector with a $20,000 check.
[52:10.880 --> 52:17.880]  Now, call me crazy, but if somebody's trying to give me a $20,000 check, I'd take it.
[52:17.880 --> 52:23.880]  But apparently the tax collector was ordered not to take it by the law firm.
[52:23.880 --> 52:25.880]  Yeah, because they'd rather have the property.
[52:25.880 --> 52:32.880]  Yeah, they wanted to force the property and the litigation to get attorney's fees.
[52:32.880 --> 52:36.880]  Yeah, that right there is outright fraud and embezzlement of funds.
[52:36.880 --> 52:44.880]  Yeah, actually, I'm told that's actually one of the counts in the complaint is conversion.
[52:44.880 --> 52:46.880]  Yeah, in Texas they did away with conversion.
[52:46.880 --> 52:48.880]  They rolled it into the fraud statute.
[52:48.880 --> 52:53.880]  So you have to actually make fraud the cause of action, not conversion.
[52:53.880 --> 52:56.880]  Well, yeah, they showed it to me.
[52:56.880 --> 52:58.880]  It's a pretty beastly complaint.
[52:58.880 --> 53:09.880]  It's 63 pages of more than 20 different cases they did this in.
[53:09.880 --> 53:19.880]  Well, then there should be at least one count for each of those instances for each offense committed during the phase of that instance.
[53:19.880 --> 53:20.880]  And indeed there are.
[53:20.880 --> 53:22.880]  That's why it's 63 pages.
[53:22.880 --> 53:23.880]  Yeah.
[53:23.880 --> 53:28.880]  Anyway, the URL again is the norwichadvocacygroup.com.
[53:28.880 --> 53:34.880]  It's going to be a lot of fun because I know there's subpoenaing lots of city officials over this too.
[53:34.880 --> 53:40.880]  And the other cool thing about this charter provision is not only does corporation council have to be one person,
[53:40.880 --> 53:42.880]  he has to be an elector.
[53:42.880 --> 53:46.880]  Obviously to be an elector you have to be a physical flesh and blood human being.
[53:46.880 --> 53:54.880]  And believe it or not, in Connecticut there are actually specific requirements for that, including, you know, if law provides an oath of office.
[53:54.880 --> 53:58.880]  I don't know about you, but an artificial entity can't raise its right hand and swear to anything,
[53:58.880 --> 54:03.880]  nor can it read and understand English as the Connecticut Constitution requires.
[54:03.880 --> 54:04.880]  Right.
[54:04.880 --> 54:07.880]  So anyway, figured I'd give you the heads up.
[54:07.880 --> 54:15.880]  If anybody out there is listening, these guys can use your support and your attendance would be appreciated.
[54:15.880 --> 54:18.880]  Alright Dan, well thanks for calling in and letting us know.
[54:18.880 --> 54:22.880]  Alright, take it easy and as always keep up the good work and give them help.
[54:22.880 --> 54:24.880]  Alright Dan, appreciate it.
[54:24.880 --> 54:28.880]  Alright folks, now we're going to go to Jerry in Kansas.
[54:28.880 --> 54:30.880]  Jerry, what can we do for you?
[54:30.880 --> 54:32.880]  Hey Andy, how are we doing this evening?
[54:32.880 --> 54:36.880]  So far so grand, nobody died the day that I know of.
[54:36.880 --> 54:42.880]  Well I just want to tell you about a little experience I had up in Indiana here about four or five years ago.
[54:42.880 --> 54:45.880]  Alright, are you buying a chance on the move?
[54:45.880 --> 54:47.880]  Uh, yeah.
[54:47.880 --> 54:49.880]  Do you have your windows down?
[54:49.880 --> 54:50.880]  No.
[54:50.880 --> 54:58.880]  Okay, well you're breaking in and out just a little bit, so try to keep the phone focused and not lose your control of the car, okay?
[54:58.880 --> 55:02.880]  Unfortunately it's not a car.
[55:02.880 --> 55:04.880]  Okay.
[55:04.880 --> 55:06.880]  Alright, so what do you got?
[55:06.880 --> 55:14.880]  I went through Indiana and got a gas stop for speeding 55 in a 55-mile hour zone.
[55:14.880 --> 55:19.880]  Of course I work in transportation, so all them rules apply to me.
[55:19.880 --> 55:26.880]  But at the same time I got a law violation too.
[55:26.880 --> 55:29.880]  And I never signed the back of a ticket.
[55:29.880 --> 55:37.880]  I never admit guilt on a piece of paper if I'm going to admit guilt that's going to be in front of a judge.
[55:37.880 --> 55:41.880]  I sent a ticket in with a money order.
[55:41.880 --> 55:47.880]  No admission on the back, no low congenital error, guilty.
[55:47.880 --> 55:52.880]  Called in about three days before court because I expected to get a receipt back.
[55:52.880 --> 55:57.880]  I sent an envelope to get a receipt back.
[55:57.880 --> 56:12.880]  Well, the officer never turned his part of the ticket into the courts, so they dismissed the case for lack of evidence.
[56:12.880 --> 56:14.880]  Alright.
[56:14.880 --> 56:18.880]  Which was the first time I'd ever seen that, you know, being from Kansas.
[56:18.880 --> 56:21.880]  I've done that many times with Kansas.
[56:21.880 --> 56:26.880]  And what they do in Kansas is they go ahead and cash it.
[56:26.880 --> 56:31.880]  You just never see the violation show up on your record.
[56:31.880 --> 56:33.880]  Well, hmm.
[56:33.880 --> 56:35.880]  Alright.
[56:35.880 --> 56:36.880]  What did they say?
[56:36.880 --> 56:40.880]  Okay, what evidence are they saying they were lacking?
[56:40.880 --> 56:42.880]  The complaint, I guess.
[56:42.880 --> 56:46.880]  You know, I actually, I'm in Utah right now.
[56:46.880 --> 56:50.880]  And I don't have the paper with the Eddie.
[56:50.880 --> 56:51.880]  Okay.
[56:51.880 --> 56:56.880]  Alright, well, thanks for calling in letting us know. Sounds like an interesting event.
[56:56.880 --> 57:02.880]  Well, it renewed my faith in at least one judge.
[57:02.880 --> 57:07.880]  Now, well, don't worry, the rest of them will act to spoil that for you real quick.
[57:07.880 --> 57:08.880]  Yeah.
[57:08.880 --> 57:18.880]  I have another question that I didn't know if it might be better for Randy dealing with agency as far as in a support modification.
[57:18.880 --> 57:20.880]  As in child support?
[57:20.880 --> 57:21.880]  Yeah.
[57:21.880 --> 57:22.880]  Okay.
[57:22.880 --> 57:27.880]  I don't know how well any of us would be able to help you on family law issues.
[57:27.880 --> 57:30.880]  They've got that particular portion of the law.
[57:30.880 --> 57:33.880]  It doesn't seem to matter what's written in the law.
[57:33.880 --> 57:41.880]  Those family law court judges and attorneys do whatever in the hell they want, no matter what the law says.
[57:41.880 --> 57:46.880]  And I've got very, very numerous pieces of evidence to that effect.
[57:46.880 --> 57:57.880]  They completely ignore the law, so whatever you've got a question on, it probably wouldn't matter how we answered it, but you can go ahead and ask it and we'll see what we can do.
[57:57.880 --> 58:01.880]  Well, I was just wondering, you know, since...
[58:01.880 --> 58:04.880]  Go ahead, you've got about 30 seconds.
[58:04.880 --> 58:12.880]  Since the other party's represented by the state, I was just wondering if I could ask how the state got agency.
[58:12.880 --> 58:16.880]  The state has agency because you have a marriage license.
[58:16.880 --> 58:18.880]  We're never married.
[58:18.880 --> 58:32.880]  You were never married, but you have, okay, then that would be an issue to definitely bring up is where the state acquired jurisdiction if there's no license to which would involve the state in the relationship at all.
[58:32.880 --> 58:40.880]  But again, that would be an issue of where the state would have to show standing and they're never going to in these cases.
[58:40.880 --> 58:42.880]  They're just going to bulldoze.
[58:42.880 --> 58:46.880]  Yeah, I didn't know if I could just put it in the bush, just to make it clear.
[58:46.880 --> 58:50.880]  You can try, but there ain't no telling what the judge will do after.
[58:50.880 --> 58:52.880]  Yeah, yeah.
[58:52.880 --> 58:53.880]  Okay?
[58:53.880 --> 58:59.880]  Alright folks, this is Rule of Law Radio, calling numbers 512-646-1984.

[01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:39.880]  A senior European central bank official said Saturday a third bailout for Greece cannot be ruled out as the country's troika of lenders prepared to rubber stamp its $170 billion second financial rescue.
[01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:47.880]  Germany's Wolfgang Straubel said it would be a big mistake to give the impression the crisis has been resolved.
[01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:55.880]  Thousands of protesters Sunday took to the streets in Tokyo, across Japan and around the world on the first anniversary of the Fukushima disaster.
[01:00:55.880 --> 01:01:03.880]  19,000 people were killed when a 9.0 quake and tsunami hit northeastern Japan, sparking the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
[01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:13.880]  At an anti-nuclear gathering in the city of Kuriyama in Fukushima, protesters called for all 54 of Japan's nuclear reactors to be scrapped.
[01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:21.880]  Japanese government documents released Friday show top officials were warned of an imminent meltdown at the nuclear plant that failed to warn the public.
[01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:27.880]  The report confirms long-held suspicions of deceit in the government's handling of the disaster.
[01:01:27.880 --> 01:01:36.880]  A summary of a government meeting held four hours after the massive earthquake sent huge waves crashing into the nuclear power station revealed an unidentified participant warning,
[01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:43.880]  quote, if the temperature of the reactor core rises after eight hours, there is a possibility that a meltdown will occur.
[01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:52.880]  However, the then chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power maintained for months there had been no meltdown.
[01:01:52.880 --> 01:02:01.880]  A spokesman for the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency was replaced after telling a news conference the day after the disaster that meltdown was a possibility.
[01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:12.880]  Probable outrage hung over Afghanistan Monday the day after a U.S. soldier massacred 16 Afghan civilians, including nine children.
[01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:19.880]  The Taliban has vowed revenge against the, quote, sick-minded American savages behind the attack.
[01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:27.880]  The lone soldier is now in U.S. custody, but there were calls Monday for him to be handed over to Afghan authorities for a public trial.
[01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:33.880]  The soldier who served three tours of duty in Iraq was on his first tour in Afghanistan.
[01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:39.880]  The killing spree has led to renewed calls for U.S. forces to leave Afghanistan at once.
[01:02:39.880 --> 01:02:44.880]  The murders followed the burning of Korans at a U.S. military base last month,
[01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:51.880]  and video footage posted on the Internet in January of U.S. troops urinating on the corpses of dead Afghans.

[01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:13.880]  Looking for some truth? You found it. LogosRadioNetwork.com.
[01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:33.880]  Hi folks, we are back. This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:36.880]  Alright, seeing as how we have no callers,
[01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:44.880]  Debra has some information regarding the fiduciary duties associated with the child support issue and everything
[01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:54.880]  that allows the state to get involved, at least to some degree, because that's considered to be a criminal action when that particular fiduciary duty is breached.
[01:03:54.880 --> 01:03:56.880]  Debra, you want to go in and go into that?
[01:03:56.880 --> 01:04:06.880]  Yes. Well, the question was, what gave the state standing, this was at least part of the question from the previous caller,
[01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:14.880]  or an associated question, if not the exact question, what gives the state standing to begin with to get involved with a child support issue
[01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:23.880]  if this person never had a commercial nexus with the state involving the child, i.e. never had a marriage license, etc.
[01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:30.880]  What gives, in Texas it's called the DRO, the Domestic Relations Office,
[01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:41.880]  what gives the DRO agency, state agency standing to get involved with child support issues and child support enforcement
[01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:49.880]  is when one of the parents files paperwork with the office, with the DRO.
[01:04:49.880 --> 01:05:01.880]  The DRO, in general, government agencies, child support agencies will not just out of the blue, out of nowhere,
[01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:12.880]  step into a situation and get involved and try to get court order child support and this sort of thing all on their own.
[01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:24.880]  Okay, the DRO gets involved when one of the parents files paperwork with them, asking for court ordered enforced child support.
[01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:36.880]  Alright, and so that's what gives the state the commercial nexus to step into the situation is when one of the parents makes that proactive step
[01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:41.880]  to engage in a commercial agreement with the state, with the DRO.
[01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:48.880]  Now granted, the other parent may not have done that, but that's enough of a step.
[01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:54.880]  One of the parents making that step is enough to get the ball rolling in that direction.
[01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:59.880]  And if the other parent says, well, I don't have a commercial agreement with the state, blah, blah, blah,
[01:05:59.880 --> 01:06:07.880]  you don't have any authority over me, it's probably not really going to fly in the court system.
[01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:18.880]  And the reason why is because the issue of child support is not civil and there's a very good reason why it's not civil.
[01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:21.880]  I've talked about this on the show before.
[01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:26.880]  The one parent doesn't owe the other parent any money.
[01:06:26.880 --> 01:06:29.880]  Okay, it's not a civil issue.
[01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:38.880]  The parent didn't borrow money from the other and the parent didn't borrow any money from the child either.
[01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:41.880]  This has nothing to do with the debt.
[01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:51.880]  Okay, this whole thing about child support being debtor's prison, I'm sorry, I just can't go along with that argument because it's not a debt.
[01:06:51.880 --> 01:06:53.880]  You don't owe the child the money.
[01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:57.880]  You don't owe the parent the other parent any money.
[01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:01.880]  It's called a fiduciary duty.
[01:07:01.880 --> 01:07:12.880]  Technically speaking, that money already belongs to the child and you are basically a trustee of a trust.
[01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:13.880]  That's the analogy.
[01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:25.880]  There's not really a trust set up, but as an analogy, basically the child already owns the money because you're the parent
[01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:30.880]  and you have a duty to take care of that child.
[01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:33.880]  It's called a fiduciary duty.
[01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:46.880]  It already belongs to the child and so you're basically acting in a trustee capacity managing the assets that belong to the child already.
[01:07:46.880 --> 01:08:00.880]  And so if you breach your fiduciary duty and don't give the child, so to speak, what already belongs to the child, that is theft.
[01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:12.880]  It could be construed on the same lines as embezzlement and it is absolutely a breach of fiduciary duty which is a crime.
[01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:19.880]  And that's why child support issues are criminal and I have to agree with that.
[01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:23.880]  Your parents, you have a duty to take care of that child, period.
[01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:25.880]  It's a fiduciary duty.
[01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:28.880]  If you don't want to take care of a kid, then don't bring it into the world, people.
[01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:29.880]  I'm sorry.
[01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:32.880]  I just have to go off on a rant about this.
[01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:52.880]  So now that's not to say that the whole family court system isn't completely corrupt and that there are child support amounts that are levied that are absolutely completely and totally unfair and unrealistic in comparison with the parent's income.
[01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:57.880]  Sure, that happens all the time, but you have to fight it.
[01:08:57.880 --> 01:09:15.880]  But what I'm saying is that from a basic perspective, you as a parent have a fiduciary duty to the child and that's why child support is a criminal matter because fiduciary duties are criminal matters.
[01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:19.880]  Just like embezzlement is a criminal matter.
[01:09:19.880 --> 01:09:21.880]  Breach of trust.
[01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:32.880]  If you're a trustee and you don't act properly on behalf of the beneficiaries of the trust, that is a criminal matter.
[01:09:32.880 --> 01:09:34.880]  It's not civil.
[01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:35.880]  It's theft.
[01:09:35.880 --> 01:09:37.880]  It's theft of property.
[01:09:37.880 --> 01:09:49.880]  It's theft of funds and not paying child support for all practical purposes is theft of funds you are stealing from what already belongs to the child.
[01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:54.880]  And so if you want to fight the child support issue, you have to research the laws.
[01:09:54.880 --> 01:09:56.880]  You may have to get a good attorney.
[01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:06.880]  Here in Texas, I believe the law is something like 20% of your net income.
[01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:13.880]  That's a general rule of thumb, but that's not what's always ordered by the court.
[01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:15.880]  Sometimes more is ordered.
[01:10:15.880 --> 01:10:17.880]  Sometimes less is ordered.
[01:10:17.880 --> 01:10:42.880]  I've heard of cases where X's have broke into someone's house and stolen receipt books from the father's business to try to trump up an income that was 10 times more than what the father actually made to try to get absolutely outrageous amounts of child support ordered by the court.
[01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:45.880]  I've heard of all kinds of things like this.
[01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:52.880]  And so if you want to fight the child support issue, you need to come with proper receipts of yourself employed.
[01:10:52.880 --> 01:10:56.880]  Or if you're not self-employed, you have to show the paycheck stubs.
[01:10:56.880 --> 01:11:05.880]  You have to look at the case law precedent in your state as to what is normally reasonably ordered and things like this.
[01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:12.880]  You have to show what kind of expenses that you have that you, you know, and here's another thing.
[01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:18.880]  If you're given the other parent money on the side, that doesn't count.
[01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:24.880]  If you're given your child money on the side, that doesn't count.
[01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:25.880]  All right?
[01:11:25.880 --> 01:11:37.880]  So if you are in a court-ordered child support situation, I would highly recommend that you not be giving a whole lot of other money on the side to the parent or the child because if you try to go in a court and say,
[01:11:37.880 --> 01:11:42.880]  well, here, I gave them all this money, that doesn't count. That's just considered an extra gift.
[01:11:42.880 --> 01:11:43.880]  All right?
[01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:51.880]  So that's about the extent of my knowledge and research with the court system and the child support issue.
[01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:53.880]  But it does go to fiduciary duty.
[01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:54.880]  That's the bottom line.
[01:11:54.880 --> 01:11:56.880]  The money already belongs to the child.
[01:11:56.880 --> 01:11:57.880]  You have to hand it over.
[01:11:57.880 --> 01:11:58.880]  If you don't, you're stealing.
[01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:02.880]  It's theft of property, theft of funds, breach of fiduciary duty.
[01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:05.880]  It's a crime, and that's why they'll put you in jail for it.
[01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:06.880]  All right?
[01:12:06.880 --> 01:12:07.880]  It's a prison.
[01:12:07.880 --> 01:12:08.880]  You don't owe the child the money.
[01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:09.880]  You don't owe the parent the money.
[01:12:09.880 --> 01:12:10.880]  It already belongs to the kid.
[01:12:10.880 --> 01:12:11.880]  All right?
[01:12:11.880 --> 01:12:12.880]  That's the bottom line.
[01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:16.880]  So just look up the laws in your state.
[01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:18.880]  Family courts are very corrupt.
[01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:25.880]  And generally, whoever, whichever parent has the most money to hire the best lawyer will win.
[01:12:25.880 --> 01:12:33.880]  And if you're dealing with a DRO, if you're dealing with the state of a child support issue, try to get a good attorney.
[01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:39.880]  Or if you're a father, you can look up Men and Fathers Resource Center.
[01:12:39.880 --> 01:12:40.880]  That's here in Texas.
[01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:42.880]  I think they're all over the nation.
[01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:48.880]  Just do a quick or a start page for Men and Fathers Resource Center.
[01:12:48.880 --> 01:12:50.880]  But I've seen mothers get railroaded too.
[01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:53.880]  Someone's telling me a case right now.
[01:12:53.880 --> 01:12:56.880]  It's telling me about a case right now where mothers getting totally railroaded.
[01:12:56.880 --> 01:13:01.880]  The father has like a big major corporate job, makes six figures.
[01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:03.880]  The mother's destitute.
[01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:05.880]  The father has custody of the children.
[01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:08.880]  The mother has literally nothing.
[01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:15.880]  And they're about to put her in jail for not paying $140 a month of child support.
[01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:17.880]  So it can go both ways.
[01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:20.880]  I've seen the women get railroaded too.
[01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.880]  But anyways, that's what's going on with that situation.
[01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:27.880]  Eddie, do you have any comments or additional information?
[01:13:27.880 --> 01:13:31.880]  No, that about sums up my knowledge of it as well.
[01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:34.880]  But we do have a caller if you want to go to that.
[01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:35.880]  Sure.
[01:13:35.880 --> 01:13:36.880]  Okay.
[01:13:36.880 --> 01:13:38.880]  We have Amy in Texas calling us.
[01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:40.880]  Amy, what can we do for you?
[01:13:40.880 --> 01:13:42.880]  Hi, I have a question about...
[01:13:42.880 --> 01:13:49.880]  Well, the friend of mine had gotten a ticket for an expired registration in Westlake.
[01:13:49.880 --> 01:13:52.880]  Or Westlake Hills.
[01:13:52.880 --> 01:13:57.880]  And it was in 2000 that he got the ticket.
[01:13:57.880 --> 01:14:04.880]  And they issued a warrant for that ticket citation in May, except 2001.
[01:14:04.880 --> 01:14:13.880]  And then he was in California and found out about it in 2011 and paid that warrant off.
[01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:18.880]  But there was never any disposition of the case or anything before it went to warrant.
[01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:21.880]  Can they do that?
[01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:23.880]  Is it a valid warrant?
[01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:24.880]  Yeah.
[01:14:24.880 --> 01:14:31.880]  The warrant is there for the purpose of arresting and bringing to the court the individual who, I guess, to whom the accusation is made.
[01:14:31.880 --> 01:14:33.880]  That's the purpose of a warrant.
[01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:34.880]  Okay.
[01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:44.880]  And they give you the option of either pay off what was owed in the amount of the fines or we will execute the warrant.
[01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:45.880]  Okay.
[01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:50.880]  So when he pays the warrant in California, then...
[01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:53.880]  When he was sent to pay the fines in Texas.
[01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:54.880]  Okay.
[01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:56.880]  Oh, I guess...
[01:14:56.880 --> 01:14:57.880]  Okay.
[01:14:57.880 --> 01:14:58.880]  That's early on.
[01:14:58.880 --> 01:14:59.880]  He didn't know.
[01:14:59.880 --> 01:15:00.880]  Thank you.
[01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:01.880]  Yeah.
[01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:02.880]  That's what it is.
[01:15:02.880 --> 01:15:03.880]  You're welcome.
[01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:04.880]  All right.
[01:15:04.880 --> 01:15:05.880]  Well, that was short, sweet and to the point.
[01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:06.880]  Anything else?
[01:15:06.880 --> 01:15:09.880]  Well, I guess he's gone already.
[01:15:09.880 --> 01:15:10.880]  Okay.
[01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:12.880]  That was our only other caller.
[01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:18.880]  So while we're waiting on somebody to call in, 512-646-1984 is the call in number.
[01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:22.880]  We're going to reiterate once again for those of you that may have just tuned in and listened.
[01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:26.880]  We did get a response or a motion for new trial in my case.
[01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:28.880]  They denied it.
[01:15:28.880 --> 01:15:34.880]  They did not send out notice for it two days until two days later.
[01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:36.880]  They decided it on the 6th.
[01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:40.880]  They did not mail notice to me of it until the 8th.
[01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:44.880]  And I did not get it until Saturday.
[01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:45.880]  All right.
[01:15:45.880 --> 01:15:49.880]  So we've lost several days in the process here already.
[01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:52.880]  We have until Friday to get this money together.
[01:15:52.880 --> 01:15:58.880]  I may or may not have a legal ability to file the Informal Papyrus.
[01:15:58.880 --> 01:16:01.880]  And I don't want to go into great detail explaining what that means.
[01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:13.880]  But we raised several issues in this case about the court's lack of jurisdiction to do anything in the first place about it being civil and so on and so forth.
[01:16:13.880 --> 01:16:20.880]  The problem with filing Informal Papyrus can be a waiver of the argument that this was never a criminal case.
[01:16:20.880 --> 01:16:21.880]  Why?
[01:16:21.880 --> 01:16:27.880]  Because the bond and the fees and everything else only apply to a criminal case.
[01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:34.880]  And one of the assertions that we made is this case was never, ever criminal to begin with.
[01:16:34.880 --> 01:16:42.880]  The court never acquired jurisdiction to hold a trial much less to do anything else.
[01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:50.880]  They have to figure out what that will do to the disposition of that argument to make the assertion for Informal Papyrus.
[01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:52.880]  So we may need this money regardless.
[01:16:52.880 --> 01:16:55.880]  The total is going to be about $1,600 by Friday.
[01:16:55.880 --> 01:16:57.880]  You can make a donation at the website.
[01:16:57.880 --> 01:16:59.880]  We'll be right back after the break.

[01:19:21.880 --> 01:19:34.880]  I was blindsided but now I can see your land. You put the fear in my pocket, took the money from my hand.
[01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:40.880]  Ain't gonna fool me with that same old trick again.
[01:19:40.880 --> 01:20:00.880]  Ain't gonna fool me with that same old trick again.
[01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:10.880]  Ain't gonna drive me with that same old sucker punch. I get it now, but then I must not get out of here.
[01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:21.880]  Back then you had room to move, but now you're feeling the crunch. Ain't gonna get me with that same old sucker punch.
[01:20:21.880 --> 01:20:24.880]  Hi, folks. We are back. This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:31.880]  The call board is picking up now. Now we're going to go to Melissa in Texas. Good evening, Melissa. What can we do for you?
[01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:40.880]  I've got a question. A reserve police officer is a reserve police officer issuing tickets.
[01:20:40.880 --> 01:20:43.880]  Is he a peace officer or can he be a peace officer?
[01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:51.880]  Yes. A reserve police officer still has a peace officer's license. Whether or not he's a police officer is a different question.
[01:20:51.880 --> 01:21:02.880]  Okay. So that would be something that we should be needed out to in court if he was...
[01:21:02.880 --> 01:21:14.880]  If this individual identifies him or herself as a police officer in court, that needs to be objected to just like vehicle, motor vehicle, operator, driving.
[01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:28.880]  It's the same objection. The reason is, is police officer in this instance is a term specifically defined by the transportation code for the purpose of enforcing that code.
[01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:36.880]  And we know that there are specific criteria and certifications such an officer must have.
[01:21:36.880 --> 01:21:42.880]  And there is no evidence before the court that this individual actually has it.
[01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:49.880]  Okay. So we make exactly the same objection to any testimony that I'm a police officer.
[01:21:49.880 --> 01:21:56.880]  Okay. I have just two more questions. This was like 12 years ago.
[01:21:56.880 --> 01:22:04.880]  And so they don't have any video evidence of the stop, I'm sure.
[01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:09.880]  Probably not. They probably won't even have the same cop.
[01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:14.880]  Yeah. Well, they said they were going to go get him from Austin. I guess he was in Westlake.
[01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:16.880]  Yeah. Well, let his memory go back that far.
[01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:28.880]  Yeah. Right. All right. Also, there's an associate judge. She's also the deputy, also the head clerk over at Westlake Hills.
[01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:38.880]  She's also an associate judge. And yeah, can they do that? Can an associate judge also be the head clerk?
[01:22:38.880 --> 01:22:41.880]  I don't know how that would be possible.
[01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:49.880]  Well, it's going on in Westlake Hills. Yeah. Wouldn't she have to be an attorney also?
[01:22:49.880 --> 01:22:54.880]  If she's, if it's a municipal court of record, she has to be an attorney.
[01:22:54.880 --> 01:22:55.880]  No, it's not. It's not.
[01:22:55.880 --> 01:22:59.880]  And no, they do not. Neither does a justice of the peace.
[01:22:59.880 --> 01:23:01.880]  I see. I see.
[01:23:01.880 --> 01:23:06.880]  Okay. Now, back to the length of time in the cop here real quick, Melissa.
[01:23:06.880 --> 01:23:22.880]  Before anybody appears as a, in the case, okay, with the officer testifying, someone needs to demand that the state hold a lineup.
[01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:35.880]  And that several people appear for the purposes of this lineup so that the cop is required to identify the defendant first.
[01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:45.880]  Okay. Do not let, do not go to court and let the cops recollection be the defendant is a defendant because they're sitting at the defendant's table.
[01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:46.880]  All right.
[01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:56.880]  Demand that the cop be required to identify the defendant before you ever set foot in the courtroom as an individual to get fingered.
[01:23:56.880 --> 01:24:04.880]  If he can't identify the defendant outside of the courtroom in a lineup, then he can't testify this is who he even issued the ticket to.
[01:24:04.880 --> 01:24:10.880]  Okay. All right, got it. Good idea. Okay. All right.
[01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:14.880]  Okay. That 12 years is going to come back to biting now.
[01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:15.880]  Okay.
[01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:25.880]  Now, the other issue here is outside of the statute of limitations. You guys need to get copies of these warrants. When were the warrants issued?
[01:24:25.880 --> 01:24:35.880]  In 2001, or the new ones, we don't know. I don't know. We didn't get to see those because they recalled those.
[01:24:35.880 --> 01:24:41.880]  And as a courtesy because they said that they already had a trial, but then they said they couldn't find the judgment.
[01:24:41.880 --> 01:24:47.880]  Well, the problem is, is they're outside of the statute of limitations.
[01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:48.880]  Right.
[01:24:48.880 --> 01:25:03.880]  They're way outside of the statute of limitations. Even if they had a warrant, he can't complain about speedy trial, but the statute of limitations keeps going, whether there's a warrant or not.
[01:25:03.880 --> 01:25:04.880]  Okay.
[01:25:04.880 --> 01:25:05.880]  Okay.
[01:25:05.880 --> 01:25:06.880]  Right.
[01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:22.880]  So they can't just leave them out there and re-prosecute the case. He's outside of the statute of limitations. He needs to file a motion to dismiss based on your way outside of the statute of limitations. Are you idiots not getting this?
[01:25:22.880 --> 01:25:31.880]  Yeah, we wrote one for that, too. And we also wrote one because none of those stuff was sealed, but I had a seal on it from the court.
[01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:37.880]  Right. Nothing that they had was ever filed in the court if it's not stamped and showing that it was filed.
[01:25:37.880 --> 01:25:43.880]  Right. But what's funny is, is everything he filed is, and he filed stuff way back then, you know.
[01:25:43.880 --> 01:25:44.880]  Exactly.
[01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:45.880]  Yeah.
[01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:55.880]  So that's exactly the problem. There should be a court stamp on everything the prosecution filed. There isn't. Therefore, it was never filed.
[01:25:55.880 --> 01:26:02.880]  If it was never filed, there was never anything for the court to issue a warrant on.
[01:26:02.880 --> 01:26:09.880]  Right. Right. Okay. And on the warrant, associate judges, they can sign the warrants, right?
[01:26:09.880 --> 01:26:17.880]  Any magistrate can issue or order a warrant or issue an arrest order, whether it's with or without a warrant.
[01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:20.880]  What if there's no affidavit for the warrant?
[01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:30.880]  Then they have a problem. If there is no affidavit in support of the warrant for the purpose of establishing probable cause, the warrant's illegal on its face.
[01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:32.880]  That's exactly what I'm talking about.
[01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:33.880]  Okay.
[01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:41.880]  If there was never a complaint filed, there is no affidavit for probable cause in support of the warrant.
[01:26:41.880 --> 01:26:48.880]  Okay. I think there was, there was a complaint filed not before the warrant was issued.
[01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:53.880]  If it's not stamped, it wasn't filed.
[01:26:53.880 --> 01:27:01.880]  Okay. Okay. All right. Right. Right. Right. Okay. But there doesn't have to be an additional affidavit other than a complaint, right?
[01:27:01.880 --> 01:27:09.880]  There doesn't have to be, but there could be. There could be a separate affidavit in support of the warrant other than the complaint.
[01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:10.880]  Right.
[01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:13.880]  But one of them has to be there.
[01:27:13.880 --> 01:27:20.880]  Okay. Right. All right. But if it's not stamped by the court, then it's not filed, right?
[01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:21.880]  That's correct.
[01:27:21.880 --> 01:27:23.880]  Right. Okay. All right.
[01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:42.880]  Well, and also, if there's not a supporting affidavit, then whoever filed or attempted to file the complaint better be a competent fact witness because if it's just some third party that has no firsthand information,
[01:27:42.880 --> 01:27:50.880]  then that's not enough to issue a warrant. There has to be, there has to be some kind of evidence by competent fact witness.
[01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:52.880]  Somebody that witnessed something.
[01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:58.880]  Right. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for clearing that up. Appreciate it.
[01:27:58.880 --> 01:28:11.880]  See, a third party can file a criminal complaint. That's fine. But in order to issue a warrant and pursue, you know, initiate prosecution, there has to be a competent fact witness.
[01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:17.880]  I can't have hearsay information that won't fly. That's not enough.
[01:28:17.880 --> 01:28:29.880]  Okay. I know he has another case, but where that is the case is the only complaint in there is signed by a third party who heard this from some cop or whatever, and there's mistakes all in it.
[01:28:29.880 --> 01:28:34.880]  And it was three years after the citation, so it's way outside the statute of limitations.
[01:28:34.880 --> 01:28:36.880]  Oh, yes. Extremely way outside.
[01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:45.880]  Yeah. And there's two active warrants on that, but he's just going to try to handle those in open court. But anyway, that's in Austin Municipal.
[01:28:45.880 --> 01:28:51.880]  Yeah, Westlake Hill, there's all sorts of going on along over there. See? Yeah.
[01:28:51.880 --> 01:29:00.880]  Well, that's why we have to get these through the system documenting what they're doing wrong so that we can come back on them and make them pay for it on the other side.
[01:29:00.880 --> 01:29:08.880]  Yeah. I don't know if you recall that I had called in before and asked about certified copies and we had gone in there to get certified copies.
[01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:17.880]  And the person who told me that she did not know what a certified copy was is the associate judge. It turns out, yeah, also, yeah.
[01:29:17.880 --> 01:29:19.880]  Yeah, that sounds about right.
[01:29:19.880 --> 01:29:21.880]  Yeah. Yeah.
[01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:26.880]  But in any case, did you explain to her what a certified copy is?
[01:29:26.880 --> 01:29:35.880]  Yes. And she wrote a letter that, or like that one, said it took her 20 minutes to complete it.
[01:29:35.880 --> 01:29:38.880]  Okay. Well, that, again, doesn't really surprise me.
[01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:40.880]  The final draft is, they said that there was a judgment.
[01:29:40.880 --> 01:29:44.880]  All right. Hang on, Melissa. We're about to go to break. We'll pick you up on the other side, okay?
[01:29:44.880 --> 01:29:45.880]  Okay. Okay.
[01:29:45.880 --> 01:29:59.880]  All right, folks. Call in number is 512-646-1984. We've got Melissa on the line and then we've got Dale, and that's it. So give us a call. This is Rule of Law Radio with your host, Eddie Craig and Trevor Stevens. We'll be right back.
[01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:19.880]  I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
[01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:20.880]  I'm a structural engineer.
[01:30:20.880 --> 01:30:21.880]  I'm a New York City correctional.
[01:30:21.880 --> 01:30:22.880]  I'm an Air Force pilot.
[01:30:22.880 --> 01:30:24.880]  I'm a father who lost his son.
[01:30:24.880 --> 01:30:26.880]  We're Americans, and we deserve the truth.
[01:30:26.880 --> 01:30:45.880]  Go to RememberBuilding7.org today.
[01:30:56.880 --> 01:31:25.880]  Someone should tell Paul Simon there's yet another way to leave your lover. Add her to the Terrorist No Fly list. That's exactly what a U.K. immigration officer did when his wife was visiting family in Pakistan.
[01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:33.880]  His scheme prevented her from boarding a plane and returning home. She remained grounded until three years later when he was interviewed for a promotion.
[01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:38.880]  When he was questioned about his marriage to a known terrorist, the officer was forced to admit his deceit.
[01:31:38.880 --> 01:31:48.880]  The moral of the story is summed up nicely by founding father James Madison. The essence of government is power, and power launched as it must be in human hands will ever be liable to abuse.
[01:31:48.880 --> 01:31:59.880]  I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht. More news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com.
[01:32:18.880 --> 01:32:21.880]  Hello, folks. We are back. This is Rulish Law Radio.
[01:32:21.880 --> 01:32:30.880]  The calling number is 512-646-1984. We are going to finish up with Melissa, and then we will continue on with the calls.
[01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:32.880]  All right, Melissa, go ahead.
[01:32:32.880 --> 01:32:42.880]  All right. He had a hearing a couple of weeks ago, and at the hearing they were saying that they had already had a trial and everything.
[01:32:42.880 --> 01:32:49.880]  Well, if they cannot find an order, they can't prove a trial ever occurred, can they?
[01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:55.880]  No, they couldn't, and then they couldn't find the judgment and so, but they said they knew they had to have a trial because it was written on the...
[01:32:55.880 --> 01:33:06.880]  Well, there's two things that they have to have in order to conclude that a trial occurred. They have to have a docket, and they have to have the ruling at the end.
[01:33:06.880 --> 01:33:19.880]  Both the jury findings, if he had a jury trial, remember, there's always an order written by the foreman of the jury of their findings in the case.
[01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:27.880]  Then there's an order of the court regarding the findings of the jury that sets the judgment.
[01:33:27.880 --> 01:33:37.880]  Those three things will always have to be there unless he waived the jury trial and had a bench trial.
[01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:44.880]  Then the final order by the judge for the judgment and this court docket will still be there.
[01:33:44.880 --> 01:33:50.880]  If the fact that someone wrote something on the outside of a folder, too damn bad.
[01:33:50.880 --> 01:34:05.880]  Produce these documents or you have no case, you have no trial, you have no anything, and you're outside of your statute of limitations to go looking for it now.
[01:34:05.880 --> 01:34:12.880]  Okay, so what they said was, as a courtesy, that they were just going to do a do-over.
[01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:14.880]  Well, they don't get a do-over.
[01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:15.880]  Right.
[01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:19.880]  Regardless of what they want to do, they don't get to do it.
[01:34:19.880 --> 01:34:20.880]  All right.
[01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:29.880]  Yeah, I don't call trying to prosecute somebody years outside the statute of limitations a courtesy.
[01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:32.880]  No, it's fraud is what it is.
[01:34:32.880 --> 01:34:33.880]  That was their word.
[01:34:33.880 --> 01:34:34.880]  That was their word.
[01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:35.880]  Oh, of course.
[01:34:35.880 --> 01:34:36.880]  I know.
[01:34:36.880 --> 01:34:37.880]  That's what I'm saying.
[01:34:37.880 --> 01:34:38.880]  I hardly call it a courtesy.
[01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:39.880]  Right.
[01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:40.880]  And who said that?
[01:34:40.880 --> 01:34:43.880]  Who is they anyway, the judge or the prosecutor?
[01:34:43.880 --> 01:34:45.880]  They both used that term, yeah.
[01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:46.880]  Yeah, well.
[01:34:46.880 --> 01:34:49.880]  The prosecutor was really pushing it and he was young and I know he wasn't.
[01:34:49.880 --> 01:34:55.880]  Well, then tell the judge that as a courtesy, I'm going to file judicial conduct complaints
[01:34:55.880 --> 01:34:58.880]  and bar grievances against you both.
[01:34:58.880 --> 01:35:04.880]  And as an additional courtesy, I'm going to file federal criminal complaints and a federal
[01:35:04.880 --> 01:35:11.880]  lawsuit against you so that in order to show you just how courteous I am, I'm going to
[01:35:11.880 --> 01:35:15.880]  take care of your personal property for the rest of my life.
[01:35:15.880 --> 01:35:16.880]  Yes.
[01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:17.880]  Yes, that's it.
[01:35:17.880 --> 01:35:18.880]  Yeah.
[01:35:18.880 --> 01:35:21.880]  Title 42 I think is in order for sure.
[01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:22.880]  Yeah.
[01:35:22.880 --> 01:35:28.880]  So that's what I'm offering as a courtesy to be the caretaker of all that used to be yours.
[01:35:28.880 --> 01:35:31.880]  Isn't that nice?
[01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:32.880]  Yeah.
[01:35:32.880 --> 01:35:33.880]  Yeah.
[01:35:33.880 --> 01:35:35.880]  The prosecutor, he was all going home.
[01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:42.880]  He took Derek back into the room and he wouldn't let me go back there with him.
[01:35:42.880 --> 01:35:48.880]  So, but I could hear what they were saying and he told him that he was getting paid
[01:35:48.880 --> 01:35:49.880]  either way.
[01:35:49.880 --> 01:35:50.880]  Okay.
[01:35:50.880 --> 01:35:51.880]  You know what?
[01:35:51.880 --> 01:35:54.880]  And this is another recommendation that I gave.
[01:35:54.880 --> 01:35:56.880]  Don't talk to the prosecutor.
[01:35:56.880 --> 01:35:57.880]  That's your enemy.
[01:35:57.880 --> 01:36:00.880]  There's no reason to talk to the prosecutor ever.
[01:36:00.880 --> 01:36:02.880]  Well, here's the deal.
[01:36:02.880 --> 01:36:04.880]  Just ask the prosecutor.
[01:36:04.880 --> 01:36:06.880]  You said you're getting paid anyway.
[01:36:06.880 --> 01:36:07.880]  What is it?
[01:36:07.880 --> 01:36:10.880]  3, 350, 375, somewhere in that ballpark?
[01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:12.880]  Okay.
[01:36:12.880 --> 01:36:18.880]  Well, let's see how you like it when you pay 3 million to earn your 300.
[01:36:18.880 --> 01:36:19.880]  Right.
[01:36:19.880 --> 01:36:24.880]  But yeah, I had gone recording him saying that he knew that I wasn't a lawyer.
[01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:28.880]  He knew he didn't have a lawyer with him and he still wouldn't have an ex parte meeting
[01:36:28.880 --> 01:36:29.880]  with him.
[01:36:29.880 --> 01:36:33.880]  And the price went down from 1200 to 500, but he still said no.
[01:36:33.880 --> 01:36:34.880]  He wasn't going to take it.
[01:36:34.880 --> 01:36:36.880]  You know, he was still, you know, going to go on.
[01:36:36.880 --> 01:36:41.880]  And he didn't want to drop the case and he said, oh, there's no way that we're going to drop the case.
[01:36:41.880 --> 01:36:45.880]  Well, that just proves the prosecutor's in way over his head.
[01:36:45.880 --> 01:36:46.880]  Yes.
[01:36:46.880 --> 01:36:47.880]  Yes.
[01:36:47.880 --> 01:36:48.880]  Yes.
[01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:51.880]  They're not going to get past the statute of limitations issue.
[01:36:51.880 --> 01:37:00.880]  Even if this low level trial judge railroads your friend, it will not fly on appeal.
[01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:05.880]  And it certainly won't fly with the court of criminal appeals, which is the suppression.
[01:37:05.880 --> 01:37:06.880]  Absolutely.
[01:37:06.880 --> 01:37:09.880]  Which is the Supreme Court and criminal matters in the state of Texas.
[01:37:09.880 --> 01:37:15.880]  And then they have a total problem of lack of jurisdiction, which means they have no
[01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:16.880]  immunity from anything.
[01:37:16.880 --> 01:37:17.880]  Lawsuit.
[01:37:17.880 --> 01:37:20.880]  That means you can sue them personally.
[01:37:20.880 --> 01:37:21.880]  Okay.
[01:37:21.880 --> 01:37:28.880]  See, the judges and the prosecutors have immunity from civil lawsuits when they act within their
[01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:34.880]  jurisdiction, because we can't have a situation in a criminal law setup, a criminal justice
[01:37:34.880 --> 01:37:41.880]  system where the judges and prosecutors are afraid to do their jobs properly because they
[01:37:41.880 --> 01:37:42.880]  might be sued.
[01:37:42.880 --> 01:37:44.880]  But doing their job properly is one thing.
[01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:49.880]  Acting outside the scope of their jurisdiction is a whole other story.
[01:37:49.880 --> 01:37:56.880]  They have no immunity from civil lawsuit if they act outside the scope of their jurisdiction.
[01:37:56.880 --> 01:37:57.880]  Okay.
[01:37:57.880 --> 01:37:58.880]  All right.
[01:37:58.880 --> 01:37:59.880]  All right.
[01:37:59.880 --> 01:38:00.880]  Thank you.
[01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:01.880]  Thanks, Melissa.
[01:38:01.880 --> 01:38:02.880]  Thanks.
[01:38:02.880 --> 01:38:03.880]  Bye-bye.
[01:38:03.880 --> 01:38:04.880]  Okay.
[01:38:04.880 --> 01:38:12.480]  Eddie, you want to take some more calls so that we can talk about how courteous we can
[01:38:12.480 --> 01:38:13.480]  be to these roles?
[01:38:13.480 --> 01:38:14.480]  Oh, yes.
[01:38:14.480 --> 01:38:15.480]  I do.
[01:38:15.480 --> 01:38:16.880]  And we have Dell in Missouri to go with that.
[01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:20.880]  We can ask him what's going on, but I want to tell you, I've said it before, folks.
[01:38:20.880 --> 01:38:22.440]  I'll say it again.
[01:38:22.440 --> 01:38:28.880]  There is nothing wrong with lawyers and judges that a tall tree in a short rope won't fix.
[01:38:28.880 --> 01:38:29.880]  Okay.
[01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:31.880]  Absolutely guaranteed.
[01:38:31.880 --> 01:38:34.880]  Now, Eddie, where is it?
[01:38:34.880 --> 01:38:37.880]  Well, it's just like the death penalty.
[01:38:37.880 --> 01:38:41.160]  People argue that the death penalty serves no purpose.
[01:38:41.160 --> 01:38:47.040]  I guarantee you the guy that goes through it is 100% rehabilitated.
[01:38:47.040 --> 01:38:49.880]  He will never commit that crime again.
[01:38:49.880 --> 01:38:54.320]  Now, Eddie, you know how we defend due process around here.
[01:38:54.320 --> 01:38:55.320]  That's right.
[01:38:55.320 --> 01:38:56.920]  And I'm all for due process.
[01:38:56.920 --> 01:39:04.200]  But when due process has been fully complied with and it's way beyond the portion of reasonable
[01:39:04.200 --> 01:39:07.800]  doubt, then the punishment phase rightfully kicks in.
[01:39:07.800 --> 01:39:10.800]  I'm not against punishing real criminals.
[01:39:10.800 --> 01:39:11.800]  Don't get me wrong.
[01:39:11.800 --> 01:39:15.200]  I'm absolutely for punishing real criminals.
[01:39:15.200 --> 01:39:20.400]  In fact, whoever catches them should be getting the first shot at punishing them.
[01:39:20.400 --> 01:39:21.400]  Okay.
[01:39:21.400 --> 01:39:26.520]  Whether it be the cops or your average Joe, who catches them with their rear end hanging
[01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:33.160]  out of their neighbor's window at 2 a.m., doesn't matter.
[01:39:33.160 --> 01:39:40.720]  The point being that once they're caught and they're convicted rightfully and the evidence
[01:39:40.720 --> 01:39:44.880]  proves they did it, no question, then punishment should follow.
[01:39:44.880 --> 01:39:46.400]  Got no problem with that.
[01:39:46.400 --> 01:39:52.080]  Yeah, and unfortunately, most of the real criminals are in our government right now.
[01:39:52.080 --> 01:39:54.720]  That part's far too true.
[01:39:54.720 --> 01:39:58.120]  But that being said, let's ask Dale what his opinion on all this is.
[01:39:58.120 --> 01:39:59.120]  Dale, are you there?
[01:39:59.120 --> 01:40:00.120]  Yes, I am.
[01:40:00.120 --> 01:40:01.120]  Well, all right.
[01:40:01.120 --> 01:40:03.120]  What can we do for you?
[01:40:03.120 --> 01:40:04.120]  Right.
[01:40:04.120 --> 01:40:13.080]  Well, in a particular case where a guy gets a ticket for lack of registration and insurance
[01:40:13.080 --> 01:40:22.240]  and they show suspended license, he doesn't go to the trial, they issue a warrant.
[01:40:22.240 --> 01:40:31.080]  He's got a, it's a citation where the officer doesn't sign the citation, they issue a warrant.
[01:40:31.080 --> 01:40:37.400]  He challenges, after being arrested, he challenges violation of the Bill of Rights of the State
[01:40:37.400 --> 01:40:44.360]  and also Fourth Amendment violation of one of an oath or affirmation in support of the
[01:40:44.360 --> 01:40:46.080]  issuance of the warrant.
[01:40:46.080 --> 01:40:47.080]  Okay.
[01:40:47.080 --> 01:40:50.040]  Is, all right, first off, you're in Missouri?
[01:40:50.040 --> 01:40:51.040]  Yes.
[01:40:51.040 --> 01:40:53.680]  Well, this case actually occurs in Nebraska.
[01:40:53.680 --> 01:40:54.680]  Okay.
[01:40:54.680 --> 01:41:00.840]  Well, first off, what does Nebraska law require as far as an oath or affirmation?
[01:41:00.840 --> 01:41:06.040]  Does it have to be, if there's no requirement, and don't get me wrong here, there's no requirement
[01:41:06.040 --> 01:41:14.080]  that I know of since the citation is not legally binding for any purpose except as a promise
[01:41:14.080 --> 01:41:18.440]  to appear if it's so arranged that way.
[01:41:18.440 --> 01:41:24.560]  And here in Texas, I can prove to you using the statutes that such promise applies only
[01:41:24.560 --> 01:41:31.520]  in the case of A or B misdemeanors, not class Cs, which is what the majority of the traffic
[01:41:31.520 --> 01:41:35.800]  citations go to or class Cs.
[01:41:35.800 --> 01:41:42.680]  Not only, okay, in which case that promise to appear is a nullity because there's nothing
[01:41:42.680 --> 01:41:46.360]  in the statute that allows them to issue a warrant.
[01:41:46.360 --> 01:41:51.960]  They are only allowed to formulate an actual complaint and then summon the individual to
[01:41:51.960 --> 01:41:58.240]  court to answer to the complaint, in which case the complaint is the sworn affidavit
[01:41:58.240 --> 01:41:59.880]  in support of the warrant.
[01:41:59.880 --> 01:42:01.960]  It is not the citation.
[01:42:01.960 --> 01:42:07.640]  There may not necessarily be a statutory requirement that the citation even be signed
[01:42:07.640 --> 01:42:13.720]  because it, or by the officer, because the officer isn't swearing to anything.
[01:42:13.720 --> 01:42:14.720]  Yeah.
[01:42:14.720 --> 01:42:22.280]  Is that your understanding that citations, the way they're written, it's just a police
[01:42:22.280 --> 01:42:28.640]  report to, in a sense, that's provided to the prosecutor.
[01:42:28.640 --> 01:42:32.120]  And then the prosecutor, if he's going to file it, he signs it.
[01:42:32.120 --> 01:42:33.120]  And so...
[01:42:33.120 --> 01:42:37.400]  Well, what do you mean the prosecutor signs it?
[01:42:37.400 --> 01:42:42.680]  Because here in Texas, the prosecutor could not initiate the complaint.
[01:42:42.680 --> 01:42:43.680]  That's illegal.
[01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:49.480]  The prosecutor, as the prosecutor, is not competent to lodge a complaint.
[01:42:49.480 --> 01:42:53.320]  I agree with you that Texas law does have that.
[01:42:53.320 --> 01:42:56.760]  I'm not sure about Nebraska if, or...
[01:42:56.760 --> 01:43:00.440]  Well, it would be a conflict of interest no matter where you are.
[01:43:00.440 --> 01:43:05.440]  The person, because that would make the prosecutor the witness.
[01:43:05.440 --> 01:43:09.760]  If they sign the complaint, they're a fact witness.
[01:43:09.760 --> 01:43:10.760]  Right.
[01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:17.160]  I think it's pretty much across the board in every state that the prosecutor cannot
[01:43:17.160 --> 01:43:18.760]  be the complainant.
[01:43:18.760 --> 01:43:22.880]  I mean, folks, that's what we fought a revolution over.
[01:43:22.880 --> 01:43:29.120]  Our ancestors fought a revolution over that exact issue over 200 years ago.
[01:43:29.120 --> 01:43:35.960]  And the barons brought King John down to the River Thames and nearly beheaded him and forced
[01:43:35.960 --> 01:43:39.160]  him to sign the Magna Carta over that very issue.
[01:43:39.160 --> 01:43:43.680]  I don't think there's any county or any state in this nation that allows the prosecutor
[01:43:43.680 --> 01:43:45.240]  to be a complainant.
[01:43:45.240 --> 01:43:46.240]  That doesn't happen.
[01:43:46.240 --> 01:43:48.240]  Now, what's interesting there?
[01:43:48.240 --> 01:43:51.760]  Okay, listen, Dale, we're about to go to break, okay?
[01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:54.000]  We'll be right back and we'll finish up on the other side.
[01:43:54.000 --> 01:43:59.000]  Folks, we've got one more segment, no more callers other than Dale 512-646-1984.
[01:43:59.000 --> 01:44:01.400]  Hey, did you hear?
[01:44:01.400 --> 01:44:03.760]  Ron Paul has announced he's running for president in 2012.
[01:44:03.760 --> 01:44:04.760]  Who's Ron Paul?
[01:44:04.760 --> 01:44:05.760]  Really?
[01:44:05.760 --> 01:44:07.480]  Okay, put down the cell phone for one minute.
[01:44:07.480 --> 01:44:10.480]  Your friends really don't care about your Twitter updates on what you had for breakfast.
[01:44:10.480 --> 01:44:13.840]  Oh, but I love to make those little smiley faces with punctuation marks.
[01:44:13.840 --> 01:44:14.840]  Of course you do.
[01:44:14.840 --> 01:44:15.840]  Now, listen closely.
[01:44:15.840 --> 01:44:19.000]  You need to go down to Brave New Books and learn as much as you can about Ron Paul and
[01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:20.760]  his message before it's too late.
[01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:23.480]  They have all of his books and many of the books he talks about.
[01:44:23.480 --> 01:44:27.120]  They also have t-shirts, bumper stickers, and yard signs so that you can show your support
[01:44:27.120 --> 01:44:28.120]  for him during the campaign.
[01:44:28.120 --> 01:44:29.120]  Brave New Books?
[01:44:29.120 --> 01:44:31.120]  Do they have Harry Potter and Twilight?
[01:44:31.120 --> 01:44:35.360]  No, but they do carry a large selection of survival and preparedness books to protect
[01:44:35.360 --> 01:44:36.840]  your family in time of emergency.
[01:44:36.840 --> 01:44:39.680]  Ugh, that sounds like that's shown in the Discovery Channel.
[01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:43.520]  Yeah, there's even a wilderness survival expert that teaches classes called Earth Skills
[01:44:43.520 --> 01:44:46.760]  School that you can sign up for on the website, bravenewbookstore.com.
[01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:47.760]  What are you doing?
[01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:51.920]  I'm tweeting all my friends that they should go to bravenewbookstore.com or down to the
[01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:52.920]  bookstore in person.
[01:44:52.920 --> 01:44:53.920]  Where's it located?
[01:44:53.920 --> 01:44:54.920]  1904 Guadalupe Street.
[01:44:54.920 --> 01:44:55.920]  There, it's sent.
[01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:56.920]  I even made a smiley face.
[01:44:56.920 --> 01:44:57.920]  Great.

[01:46:24.560 --> 01:46:26.040]  Hi folks, we are back.
[01:46:26.040 --> 01:46:28.280]  This is Rule of Law Radio.
[01:46:28.280 --> 01:46:32.280]  Dale, before we bring you back up, we're going to address something here as far as the citation
[01:46:32.280 --> 01:46:33.280]  goes.
[01:46:33.280 --> 01:46:39.360]  Now, on the citation, in Texas and pretty much anywhere else, it's going to have to
[01:46:39.360 --> 01:46:42.200]  serve only two primary functions.
[01:46:42.200 --> 01:46:43.760]  It's not a complaint.
[01:46:43.760 --> 01:46:47.600]  It's not sworn to, at least not in Texas.
[01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:54.080]  And even if it is written to have everything a complaint requires, when you look at it,
[01:46:54.080 --> 01:47:02.920]  even if the officer swore to it on the citation, it's usually done before a different police
[01:47:02.920 --> 01:47:03.920]  officer.
[01:47:03.920 --> 01:47:10.880]  And for the purposes of the justice and municipal courts, they are not allowed to verify a sworn
[01:47:10.880 --> 01:47:12.520]  complaint.
[01:47:12.520 --> 01:47:18.920]  There is a specific list of people in Chapter 45 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before
[01:47:18.920 --> 01:47:22.040]  whom a complaint may be sworn.
[01:47:22.040 --> 01:47:26.760]  And another peace officer is not one of them.
[01:47:26.760 --> 01:47:31.400]  The citation serves a two-fold purpose in Texas.
[01:47:31.400 --> 01:47:34.960]  It is a written accusation.
[01:47:34.960 --> 01:47:37.240]  It's not a criminal charge.
[01:47:37.240 --> 01:47:42.640]  It's a written accusation by a peace officer.
[01:47:42.640 --> 01:47:46.880]  It's not sworn to as of yet by anybody.
[01:47:46.880 --> 01:47:54.640]  But also the secondary purpose serves as a contractual agreement by the signatory, which
[01:47:54.640 --> 01:48:05.280]  is you, the person it's being issued to, that you promise to appear in response to the accusation.
[01:48:05.280 --> 01:48:11.640]  But again, when you study the Texas statutes on the subject and you study all of them in
[01:48:11.640 --> 01:48:18.480]  their in-parameteria relationship, there is no authority for the court to enforce by
[01:48:18.480 --> 01:48:26.640]  the issuance of a warrant a failure to appear for a Class C citation.
[01:48:26.640 --> 01:48:33.960]  The authority to issue the warrant only exists for A and B misdemeanor citations.
[01:48:33.960 --> 01:48:36.640]  That's it.
[01:48:36.640 --> 01:48:44.480]  The only thing the statutes allows the court to do is to ensure that a complaint becomes
[01:48:44.480 --> 01:48:52.040]  generated by the proper parties, not the clerk of the court, but by a proper party
[01:48:52.040 --> 01:48:59.640]  and that it gets filed so that they can issue a summons to the person accused therein to
[01:48:59.640 --> 01:49:02.440]  appear before the court.
[01:49:02.440 --> 01:49:05.600]  That's the process that the statute sets up.
[01:49:05.600 --> 01:49:12.040]  That's not what they're doing, but it is what the statutes in Texas require them to do.
[01:49:12.040 --> 01:49:19.040]  So in your individual states, what we're dealing with is the function of the citation is probably
[01:49:19.040 --> 01:49:21.080]  very much the same.
[01:49:21.080 --> 01:49:23.800]  Okay, Dale, go ahead.
[01:49:23.800 --> 01:49:24.800]  Right.
[01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:32.000]  What's interesting in that is that he challenges the warrant that is not in support, the warrant
[01:49:32.000 --> 01:49:40.880]  that is not in support by an oath or affirmation, and the judge actually says that any challenges
[01:49:40.880 --> 01:49:49.360]  that there's no verified complaint, and the judge says the citation is a verified complaint.
[01:49:49.360 --> 01:49:53.160]  Really where is the verified sworn signature on the citation?
[01:49:53.160 --> 01:49:59.760]  Does it say anywhere on there, I sign this under penalty of perjury where the officer
[01:49:59.760 --> 01:50:02.200]  signs his signature and is it notarized?
[01:50:02.200 --> 01:50:05.040]  Well, the criminal complaint doesn't have to do that.
[01:50:05.040 --> 01:50:08.760]  The criminal complaint does not have to specify under penalty of perjury because a hearsay
[01:50:08.760 --> 01:50:11.000]  individual can make one.
[01:50:11.000 --> 01:50:12.000]  Right.
[01:50:12.000 --> 01:50:18.800]  Okay, but it does have to have an affian signature and it does have to have a verification signature
[01:50:18.800 --> 01:50:23.120]  by a different authorized party.
[01:50:23.120 --> 01:50:25.960]  Does that exist?
[01:50:25.960 --> 01:50:35.000]  The officer did not sign, and the prosecutors signed the citation.
[01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:38.640]  The prosecutor cannot be the initiator of the complaint.
[01:50:38.640 --> 01:50:41.840]  Yeah, you may want to check them as your laws.
[01:50:41.840 --> 01:50:45.600]  Did he sign it as the affian or did he sign it as the person verifying?
[01:50:45.600 --> 01:50:52.000]  It's my understanding, he's just signing it, the prosecutor, they have a final answer.
[01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:54.600]  Okay, you're not answering my question.
[01:50:54.600 --> 01:50:57.240]  What does it say on the citation?
[01:50:57.240 --> 01:51:04.600]  What is under the name of the person that signed it identifying what signature that is?
[01:51:04.600 --> 01:51:06.360]  Does it say prosecutor?
[01:51:06.360 --> 01:51:07.960]  Does it say affian?
[01:51:07.960 --> 01:51:13.480]  Does it say verification signature, verifying agent, what?
[01:51:13.480 --> 01:51:17.240]  What is listed there under the signature on the name line?
[01:51:17.240 --> 01:51:18.240]  Who's...
[01:51:18.240 --> 01:51:19.240]  I can't answer that.
[01:51:19.240 --> 01:51:20.640]  I would not know at this point.
[01:51:20.640 --> 01:51:21.640]  Okay.
[01:51:21.640 --> 01:51:31.480]  That's what I've been told, though, the citation now has gone missing, and now the individual
[01:51:31.480 --> 01:51:41.400]  is sitting in jail and supposedly he's got a trial near the end of the month, but he's
[01:51:41.400 --> 01:51:45.600]  already challenged that there's no oath or affirmation in support of the warrant.
[01:51:45.600 --> 01:51:48.880]  They can't find the citation.
[01:51:48.880 --> 01:51:53.080]  Those documents are there and now there's just a warrant out there.
[01:51:53.080 --> 01:51:57.960]  Well, the court record should be able to prove his assertions one way or the other.
[01:51:57.960 --> 01:52:03.320]  What he needs to be doing is filing a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction, because if they
[01:52:03.320 --> 01:52:09.040]  don't have anything, vesting them with jurisdiction, everything they're doing, including holding
[01:52:09.040 --> 01:52:11.320]  him in jail, is illegal.
[01:52:11.320 --> 01:52:13.960]  Have you seen the court record, Dale?
[01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:19.800]  I have not seen the court record, the individual involved in the situation.
[01:52:19.800 --> 01:52:20.800]  That is his information.
[01:52:20.800 --> 01:52:24.960]  Well, no, no, that's not necessarily the case.
[01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:28.520]  Court records are public, and so if we really want to help each other...
[01:52:28.520 --> 01:52:29.520]  Yeah, but he's saying it's in Nebraska.
[01:52:29.520 --> 01:52:30.520]  Oh, okay.
[01:52:30.520 --> 01:52:31.520]  He's in Missouri.
[01:52:31.520 --> 01:52:32.520]  The case is in Nebraska.
[01:52:32.520 --> 01:52:33.520]  All right, all right.
[01:52:33.520 --> 01:52:38.720]  Where, you know, people are very careful about checking court records not to be attacked
[01:52:38.720 --> 01:52:45.800]  for, you know, doing things, looking into court records and that kind of thing.
[01:52:45.800 --> 01:52:46.800]  Well, wait a minute.
[01:52:46.800 --> 01:52:52.520]  If it's a public record, they can't be attacked for that lawfully because it is available
[01:52:52.520 --> 01:52:54.840]  to the public by definition.
[01:52:54.840 --> 01:53:02.840]  Yeah, we should not have any fear of walking into a courthouse and asking for court records
[01:53:02.840 --> 01:53:05.080]  of somebody's case.
[01:53:05.080 --> 01:53:09.400]  And let me tell you what I do when I go in and ask for court records.
[01:53:09.400 --> 01:53:13.880]  They always ask me, well, who are you, and I tell them it's none of your business who
[01:53:13.880 --> 01:53:14.880]  I am.
[01:53:14.880 --> 01:53:17.160]  I don't have to tell you who I am.
[01:53:17.160 --> 01:53:21.720]  I don't have to show my identification to get court records.
[01:53:21.720 --> 01:53:26.320]  Court records are public in this state, and if you don't give it to me, I'm going to call
[01:53:26.320 --> 01:53:27.840]  the police right now.
[01:53:27.840 --> 01:53:32.840]  I'm going to call 911, and you're going to get sued if you don't turn over the court
[01:53:32.840 --> 01:53:33.840]  records.
[01:53:33.840 --> 01:53:37.680]  I don't mince words with these clerks, all right?
[01:53:37.680 --> 01:53:43.760]  We cannot have fear like that because fear is the calling card of the devil, and that's
[01:53:43.760 --> 01:53:47.160]  how the bad guys control us is through fear.
[01:53:47.160 --> 01:53:53.160]  You walk into that courthouse and you ask for the court records, they ask for your identification,
[01:53:53.160 --> 01:53:56.560]  you don't give it, and you tell, let them know who's boss straight away.
[01:53:56.560 --> 01:53:59.960]  Yeah, no, I understand.
[01:53:59.960 --> 01:54:04.080]  Because Dale, listen, we can't help our friends if we don't have the court records.
[01:54:04.080 --> 01:54:10.400]  That's what Randy and Eddie and I tell everybody straight off the bat.
[01:54:10.400 --> 01:54:15.000]  If they want to help with their own case, or if they want to help a friend's case first,
[01:54:15.000 --> 01:54:17.320]  things first, you have the court record.
[01:54:17.320 --> 01:54:21.000]  If you don't have the court record, then honestly, there's nothing that you can do to help your
[01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:24.760]  friend, and there's nothing that we can do because if we don't know what's happened in
[01:54:24.760 --> 01:54:28.560]  the court record, then we don't know what to file, we don't know what's happened.
[01:54:28.560 --> 01:54:32.600]  You have to have the court record if you're going to help your friend.
[01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:43.240]  Well, obviously one of the issues is limiting the amount of attacks that are leveraged.
[01:54:43.240 --> 01:54:52.160]  Just, I understand that the courts are operating pretty outside their bounds.
[01:54:52.160 --> 01:54:54.240]  I'm a bit more surprised.
[01:54:54.240 --> 01:54:55.240]  Don't get me wrong.
[01:54:55.240 --> 01:55:01.640]  I've fought traffic cases, I've won, what I would say, more than a few.
[01:55:01.640 --> 01:55:07.920]  I tend to walk away without being escaped, though when I see something like this, where
[01:55:07.920 --> 01:55:16.000]  supposedly, and by the way, this person is most likely communicating correct information.
[01:55:16.000 --> 01:55:24.800]  Most likely there is nothing there, besides except the warrant now.
[01:55:24.800 --> 01:55:30.440]  When you get something so out of bounds like this, where there's not even documents there,
[01:55:30.440 --> 01:55:36.280]  I get the idea that they do operate illegally, but to this level that they would keep people
[01:55:36.280 --> 01:55:42.440]  in jail without even a charging document, and I understand making the argument that
[01:55:42.440 --> 01:55:43.440]  there's no criminal evidence.
[01:55:43.440 --> 01:55:45.440]  Well, but that's common practice in every state.
[01:55:45.440 --> 01:55:46.440]  Yeah, that's very common.
[01:55:46.440 --> 01:55:48.400]  Believe it or not, that's very common.
[01:55:48.400 --> 01:55:50.000]  That's what they do all the time.
[01:55:50.000 --> 01:55:51.000]  That's very common.
[01:55:51.000 --> 01:55:56.480]  Dale, do you know if your friend ever got his own court record?
[01:55:56.480 --> 01:56:01.000]  Because this thing of, well, the tickets were there, the complaint was there, and then it
[01:56:01.000 --> 01:56:02.000]  wasn't there.
[01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:08.040]  I mean, this is another reason that people need to be checking the court record frequently,
[01:56:08.040 --> 01:56:09.520]  not just one time.
[01:56:09.520 --> 01:56:14.840]  Fortunately, with federal cases, you can get on Pacer and you can check the court record
[01:56:14.840 --> 01:56:20.920]  in an instant, day or night, any time, all the time, on the Internet.
[01:56:20.920 --> 01:56:23.800]  Sometimes at the time, you can't do that with county court records.
[01:56:23.800 --> 01:56:27.800]  Sometimes you can do it with state court records, but Pacer is only for federal.
[01:56:27.800 --> 01:56:31.680]  But you have to be checking your court record on a regular basis, because what will end
[01:56:31.680 --> 01:56:37.920]  up happening is things that you filed will disappear.
[01:56:37.920 --> 01:56:45.800]  Things that they never file will suddenly appear and they'll be backdated to make it
[01:56:45.800 --> 01:56:50.840]  look as if they actually filed it six months ago and they never did.
[01:56:50.840 --> 01:56:56.600]  You have to be checking the court record frequently if you want to really properly deal with a
[01:56:56.600 --> 01:56:57.600]  situation.
[01:56:57.600 --> 01:56:58.600]  I see.
[01:56:58.600 --> 01:56:59.600]  Okay.
[01:56:59.600 --> 01:57:01.080]  That's an interesting issue there.
[01:57:01.080 --> 01:57:03.080]  I'll have to review that.
[01:57:03.080 --> 01:57:04.080]  Okay.
[01:57:04.080 --> 01:57:06.960]  Well, I do appreciate the information there.
[01:57:06.960 --> 01:57:12.680]  I'm a bit surprised just how much has transpired in such a situation that they would even
[01:57:12.680 --> 01:57:14.440]  operate without documents.
[01:57:14.440 --> 01:57:15.440]  Yeah.
[01:57:15.440 --> 01:57:17.520]  That's common practice.
[01:57:17.520 --> 01:57:19.520]  That's absolutely common practice.
[01:57:19.520 --> 01:57:23.800]  And people get themselves in trouble by filing habeas corpuses for other people.
[01:57:23.800 --> 01:57:25.480]  Is that right?
[01:57:25.480 --> 01:57:26.480]  In general, no.
[01:57:26.480 --> 01:57:30.000]  It depends on the state here.
[01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:36.160]  For the most part, across the board, a habeas corpus is the one document that you can file
[01:57:36.160 --> 01:57:39.440]  on behalf of somebody else without being an attorney, because that's the whole point
[01:57:39.440 --> 01:57:40.440]  of the habeas.
[01:57:40.440 --> 01:57:45.680]  Somebody's being held and there's no records in the court at all.
[01:57:45.680 --> 01:57:46.680]  This is what happens.
[01:57:46.680 --> 01:57:48.880]  All the time in Texas, people get arrested.
[01:57:48.880 --> 01:57:54.320]  They get put in jail, they can't afford the bail, and nothing is ever filed in the court
[01:57:54.320 --> 01:57:55.840]  until when?
[01:57:55.840 --> 01:58:00.560]  Until the prosecutor pressures them for a plea deal, and then once they succumb to the
[01:58:00.560 --> 01:58:05.880]  prosecutor's pressure, then the charging instrument is filed in the court.
[01:58:05.880 --> 01:58:06.880]  And guess what?
[01:58:06.880 --> 01:58:08.320]  You don't even exist to the court.
[01:58:08.320 --> 01:58:10.400]  They don't even know who you are.
[01:58:10.400 --> 01:58:13.360]  That charging instrument is supposed to be filed immediately.
[01:58:13.360 --> 01:58:20.320]  Randy knows somebody who sat in jail for something like over four years, and there was not one
[01:58:20.320 --> 01:58:25.480]  piece of paper ever filed with the court, and finally gave in to the pressure, and took
[01:58:25.480 --> 01:58:29.920]  a plea deal for a crime he didn't commit because he was tired of sitting in jail.
[01:58:29.920 --> 01:58:31.440]  That's the purpose of a habeas corpus.
[01:58:31.440 --> 01:58:33.640]  But listen, Dale, we are out of time.
[01:58:33.640 --> 01:58:36.040]  Doug, I'm sorry, we are out of time.
[01:58:36.040 --> 01:58:38.040]  Folks, join us on Thursday.
[01:58:38.040 --> 01:58:40.040]  Eddie, closing comments?
[01:58:40.040 --> 01:58:45.160]  Nope, none for me, other than thanks for listening and thanks for all of your financial support.
[01:58:45.160 --> 01:58:47.360]  Appreciate it greatly.
[01:58:47.360 --> 01:58:51.120]  Make sure that you donate to Eddie's Law Fund.
[01:58:51.120 --> 01:58:52.720]  Legal fund, first ticket.
