COMMENTS What you find in this outline below has been done with different results. Police Officers are all different and react in different ways on different days. People have been put in jail for having the disrespect of police officers for asking Why have you arrested me?. All, so called, government authority want you to jump when they say jump and dont ask them how high. Reacting, as suggested, may get you a trip to see their facilities. These are only suggestions and they should be taken lightly, considering your situation. Something must be done to stop or at least slow down the stealing of our liberty. Knowledge will do this, but it is up to you to gain the knowledge necessary to keep your liberty. No one can do this for you, except you. Attorneys are taught to relieve you of your funds, not to guard your liberties. They win no matter which way the decision goes. Learn NOT to consent and you are half way there. Has a police officer ever asked you Do you know why I stopped you?. This is a trick question they learned that allows the victim to entrap themselves. The only logical answer is NO because you can only assume what someone else is thinking. When the judge asks if you understand or agree with a statement, the only logical answer can be NO. Even though you may believe that he is speaking English, chances are he/she is not. The language is called Legaleese and it is diffidently a foreign language. Example: a person is not living and breathing, 99.9% of the time, in court where they accuse you of being the person in question. You, in their eyes, are the president of a corporation or association, where the corporation is accused of doing something wrong. If the corporation is found guilty of the wrong doing, then it is the president of the corporation that they put in jail, not the corporation. If John Doe was pulled over for speeding and at the arraignment (first court appearance), the bailiff calls the name JOHN DOE (the corporation), and John Doe states Here; John Doe has stated to the court that John Doe is there representing the corporation JOHN DOE. The proper response to the name called: Mr. Bailiff, I am here in regards to that matter. The games that people play. If people really have liberties, but corporations have only privileges, would it be in the best interest of public servants to twist a meaning, like person or changing your true name into an ALL CAPITALIZED BILLBOARD NAME corporation as to regulate the corporations activity. Sure they would. The judge will state to your face that you do not have any constitutional rights in his court of which he/she is correct, if you are representing a corporation. Below are experiences of guinea pigs that have come before you, to find what you should have done to have a snow balls chance to win on appeal. The court system is so corrupt with getting your money instead of reducing crime, you will wonder how have they gotten away with it as long as they have. The one and only reason they get away with it is that you grandparents let them, your parents let them and you are teaching your children to let them steal your funds. We have found nothing in law that allows them to do what they do to people other than the people going along with the (Matrix) program. We are in the development stage of putting together an innocence package that will go along with this and previous books put out on this subject. You can look this information of innocence up yourself by finding the code that you have assumed to have violated and go to the Special and General Laws book in the law library and look up the actual bill which created the code. This needs to be entered in open court as evidence along with the bills for the same code that defined person, individual, operator or any other status they try and put you under. Ask yourself why the Legislators dont make and pass a law for you to wash the government cars, buildings or clean their uniforms or any other function that they would want a slave to do. Then ask yourself, if they did, how did you become subject to the law -3-
(they pasted and codified) that would require you to perform the act of washing their government cars, buildings or uniforms. Most people would say they do not have any authority to require you to perform that function for them. When you finally go look at the Texas Bill of Rights located in Article One and you see that you have the right to freely assemble with other people, among the assemblies, is to freely go to church, go vote, go to ball games, picnics, BBQs or just to hang out. Where in any document, did the people grant the government the authority to regulate people going from place to place just because the mode of travel changed from walking, riding a horse, a horse or oxen pulling a wagon to the wagon being self powered? When the authority is researched by you, you will find that the authority is limited under the constitutional regulation of commerce and no other place. If you are not in the mode of commerce, then government regulation falls off drastically. People are still responsible for their own actions. Whether in a car, on a horse or just walking around. Actions which breach the peace, harm other peoples property or harm other people themselves, is a crime in our society which subject all of us to a penalty that the jury should address. Charged with a commercial crime while not in commerce brings us back to washing the government cars. How did I become subject under this assumed violation? If it is a commercial crime, then I must have been in commerce at the time of the violation, which is an element which needs to be proven along with the actual charge. Just like if you were charged with Eating Bananas on Tuesday, you would like to know how you become subject to such a violation and by what authority does the government regulate that type of activity. But when you get on a jury, the question how or by what authority never comes into play as your grandparents, your parents, and you have told your children that we are subject to such a violation, not because we were shown, but because we were told. It is our responsibility to have all government officials show us the law and the authority to make us perform, no matter what the function. If we do not, then we are not doing our jobs. This deals with basic traffic violations. If you cannot learn to help your family with a simple traffic violation, what chances will you have when something serious comes about? Nothing will be considered as legal advice, as none exist. No attorney has blessed this information and if one does, dont believe him/her either. This information will change from time to time as so do we. Ken Townsend
