So, um on the screen listed is Muhammad authorized representative for Muhammad Idris. Is that right? >> First of all, I object to public defender saying that I'm pro se which I'm not. I'm the authorized representative on behalf of the estate. >> What's going on, guys? Welcome back to your favorite YouTube channel, No One Is Above the Law. Today, we have a sovereign citizen [music] by the name of Mr. Muhammad that man, he definitely has his sovereign citizen head on and he is not going out without a sovereign citizen fight. [music] If you don't believe me, then check this out. >> He's here for arraignment on two matters. They're all from the same date. They're all All right, I see. So, case number 3A 0257205, State versus Muhammad Idris. Charges vehicle operator refused to comply with the police officer. There [snorts] are two infraction charges as well. 3A0096934 is violation of a special trip permit and 3A0096933 uh failure to obey traffic control device and failure to renew his expired registration on vehicle. Mr. Kell, any contact from Mr. Idris? >> Uh either Mr. Idris or a representative of Mr. Idris is present on Zoom, Your Honor. Uh and I believe he may intend to proceed pro se or at least without the assistance of public defense. So, I would ask the court to inquire with him about that. >> I will. So, um on the screen listed [clears throat] as Muhammad authorized representative for Muhammad Idris, is that right? >> First of all, I object to public defender saying that I'm pro se, which I'm not. I'm the authorized representative on behalf of the estate. And uh I would like to request for a continuous due to I made a request for uh uh discovery and there was no email provided to me. And I was informed that only a phone number is available. And I called that phone number and uh there was no answer. And they I did not get any voicemail. And out of the three cases, I only received notice for two. One is missing. I don't have the paperwork for that. Uh due for that reason, I would like to get a continuous. >> All right, so let's start with this. Are you Muhammad Idris? Let's get the name straight to begin with. >> Uh that's the estate on the trust. I'm the authorized representative on behalf of the estate that the court is trying to administrate. >> Well, the state's not charging the uh estate. This the state is charging Muhammad Idris. So, that's who we need to address. Is that you? Is my question. >> Uh I object if uh I have a question for uh That's a question for the prosecutor, correct? >> Well, you're you're here asking for a continuance because you want something else. I I have to know who it is that is requesting the continuance. And and how you speak on behalf of Muhammad Idris? >> I'm the authorized representative of the state. >> [clears throat] >> Uh like my uh family name is Idris. Given name Muhammad Ismail for the estate, which is Muhammad Ismail Idris estate on the trust. >> [clears throat] >> All right. As I say, you're the estate is not being charged with the criminal offense. Muhammad Ismail Idris is being charged with criminal offenses. Now, you indicate >> I object. >> that you only got two of the three notices. Which charges did you get notice >> of? >> Did you get notice for the failure to obey traffic signal? >> I object to your saying the is this has nothing to do with the estate. It has everything to do with the estate on the trust that's being charged. >> Well, not to be argumentative, Mr. Idris, but the estate wasn't driving the vehicle. I suspect the uh city is or the state will try to prove that Muhammad Idris was driving the vehicle. That's their job in this case. >> Uh I object. That's a hearsay. Is that the court is assuming presuming that's the case, which is not. So, if you can continue with the continuance, I'll appreciate it. >> Well, [clears throat] I'm going to ask the city or the state rather to establish probable cause at this time on the charge ending in or the case number ending in 7205 which is the vehicle operator refusing to comply with the officer. You've already been sworn Miss Man, so we'll go ahead. >> Um the charge of refusal to give information on May 11th, 2023 Officer Kelso responded to a request for assistance from Officer Turner who had performed a traffic stop on a commercial motor vehicle that was traveling in a left lane prohibited for CMB southbound I-5 at milepost 96. The driver was later ID'd by his DOL photo on file as Mohammed Ismail Idris and he >> Uh I object. >> Both officers within the ID despite multiple >> Mr. Idris, hold on Mr. Man. Mr. Idris, please. Let her finish. >> Okay. >> Let her finish. Go ahead Miss Man. >> Refused to provide both officers with an ID despite multiple requests by both officers. He was cited for operating a vehicle and refusing to comply with the police officer and released. >> He was also charged with the infractions at that time? >> Uh yes, Your Honor and I have a probable cause for the special fuel trip permits violation as well if you'd like. >> Yes, why don't you give us that too? >> On May 16th, 2023 Officer Turner observed a tractor trailer traveling south on I-5 near milepost 98 speeding and traveling in a restricted left lane. The officer made contact with the driver who refused to identify himself but was identified through his DOL photo on file as Mohammed Ismail Idris. While looking at his inspection history, uh it was revealed that the registration on the power unit had expired several months earlier and was revoked by the Washington State Department of Licensing. He was cited and released. >> Is it my turn to speak? All right, Mr. Idris, it's now your turn. Go ahead. >> Uh I object. I uh I requested for continuous and I was not informed if it was denied or granted. And I [snorts] do not consent to being uh for the court to move forward. If you guys decide to move forward, I prefer physically present instead of a Zoom call if you guys decide to continue. >> And what's the basis of your objection again? Why you want a continuance? >> The reason I need the continuance is out of the three cases, the case number I only got two notices, not the third one. One is missing. And also, I requested for discovery to the clerk of the court and they said I have to get hold of the prosecutor office and I got hold of the prosecutor office. There's no email for me to request for the discovery. The only way is a phone number. When I called the phone number, nobody answered. So, how can you guys continue without I don't even have any discovery. So, I don't know what's up up against me. I don't have the details of the discovery. >> Well, you've heard what's against you. This man just repeated what she believes the city the state will be able to prove in this case. Um >> This is not a proper notice. >> Idris, hold on. It may be that the two infraction numbers appeared on the same document. Case ending in 933 and case ending in 934, since they're both infractions. And then the second one would end in 205, which is criminal charge. So that's a possibility, but based on your request for to have this set over, we will set out the arraignment. And you may appear in person. There's nothing stopping you from appearing in person. >> Uh physically present. >> Yes, in person. All right. Although I believe there is probable cause been established, I'm not going to find that today to give Mr. Idris the opportunity to look at all these documents. And Ms. Mann, is there some better way for him to request the discovery in this case that he's talking about? >> Um not that I know of, Your Honor. I can check with my supervisor if you >> All right. Go ahead. In the meantime, while we're looking for that information, Mr. Idris, I want [clears throat] to confirm a mailing address for for you or for your estate. Let me check for a moment. >> Uh I object. Um not a mister. >> Pardon me? >> I said I object. I want to make a correction. You You called me mister. I'm I'm not a mister. Mister is a title. >> Is your address still on in Seattle mailing address? >> I don't have an address. I have a location. A private location I can only receive for mailing purposes only, for notices. >> Is that a PO box in Tukwila? >> That ends with >> I'm seeing a PO box stated Tukwila, Washington. >> There's a dash at the end, 9998. This triple nine and eight Those four digits is very important to put it on there. >> So, 8 888-9? >> No. >> I missed those last four up. What? What's next? >> Like I said, I don't have an address. I have a private location where I can receive for mail and purposes only. And the only thing I will is and indicate is the last four digit after the end of the location which ends 999 8. >> Is that a street address or a mailbox? Post office box? >> That's my mailing location. Where where I can receive notices only. >> Um we can't address notice to you at 9998. I need more than that. What happens, Mr. Idris, is if you don't respond to this, there's going to be a warrant issued for your arrest. We have to give you notice first. That's what we're trying to get established here. >> Uh I object. Notices can be sent to me through my private email. As well. >> to give us that private email? >> The court has it on file. >> Your honor. >> Candace, do we have that? >> Uh Your honor, good afternoon. This is DPA Tom Ferraro. Before we proceed beyond this case, I'd like to address the court. >> All right. I'm I'm trying to get a mailing address here. Mr. Idris, we have two addresses from the Department of Licensing. One is on 2nd in Seattle and the other is a PO Box in Tukwila. If you're not willing to provide us with your email address, we're going to just send notice to those two addresses. >> I object. Again, I'm going to make a correction. I'm not a mister, which is a title. If you can call me with my proper name, which is a family name and a given name, I'll appreciate that. >> Yes, Muhammad Idris. We're going to send notice to those two addresses that we have. >> You meant to say Idris is my family. >> You meant to say my family name, which is Idris. >> All right, we're going to use that. That's what he sent to us requesting information about court, correct? All right, looks like we do have a email address for you when you requested >> Just before we go on. >> All right, Mr. Farrow, let's hear from you. >> Uh thank you, Your Honor. I was listening on the YouTube. Um I wanted to address the court just to highlight the fact that Mr. Mr. Idris was given the constitutionally required notice at the scene on at least two of these cause numbers. There are citations in the record. Those were hand uh handed to him and he was advised of the upcoming court date. Uh that's kind of my first point. So, I think I if the if the court wants to continue I I don't know when he was first scheduled for arraignment, but it looks like this has been going on for a little bit. If the court wants to continue on those two matters, I'm happy to I mean it it says here it's checked the box for the ticket was served on the violator. Um I'm hap- I guess I could send something to one of these email addresses, but I would also urge the court to note that if you look on JABS, we've we've tried sending mail to Mr. Idris. It is not or it's been returned. Finally, Your Honor, and I'm not trying to be silly about this, but I I I've sort of heard these arguments before in court, and I think I know where we're going with this. Um the state's not satisfied legally that the defendant in this case has appeared today. I think he's claiming to be some sort of representative for some sort of estate or trust or other nonsense, but based on Mr. Idris's failure to appear today, the state would request the court to issue a warrant in the amount of $10,000. Thank you, your honor. >> This right here is where the prosecutor he sees exactly where this thing is going. He is telling the judge that if this man, if Mr. Muhammad keeps saying he is only an authorized representative for an estate or trust, then technically [music] Muhammad Idris has not actually appeared before the court. And [music] a lot of you that watch these videos, a lot of people that have stuff to say about these videos and these proceedings feel like that's what should be done. If the person does not identify themself in a timely manner, then listen, a promise >> [music] >> Oh, I was going to say a promise to appear. I meant, you know, a warrant is put out for their arrest, uh you know, for them not appearing even though they're there, but because you don't want to say who you are, then guess what? A failure to appear will be put in place, and that is why the prosecutor is asking for that warrant. This is the danger of playing these word games in court. You may think you are protecting yourself, right? He might think he's protecting [music] himself by refusing to identify as the person charged, but this is the thing to remember, the court may turn around and say if the defendant is not here, then a warrant for a failure to appear can be issued. >> I object. Everything he said is a hearsay, assumption, presumption, and tacit agreement has nothing to do with the facts. He's not telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And he was supposed to take a stand and write an after David. He's not doing any of that. He's just waiting for my silence, acquiescence. So, I object to everything that he said. >> I I understand that. Muhammad Idris, um he makes a good point. If you're going to argue that you are a representative for Mr. Idris, um Mr. Idris hasn't made a full appearance in court yet today. And therefore, that would lead to the potential issuance of a bench warrant for your arrest for not showing up. So, can we resolve that question at least that Muhammad Idris has appeared for arraignment today? >> I object. Again, it's what you're saying everybody in the court is saying is assumptions, presumptions, tacit agreement is a hearsay. You cannot use a hearsay or assumption and presumption in court. It's uh wrong information. And I object to all of that. And I am not a representative. Like I said, I said I am authorized representative or an agent >> [clears throat] >> or an executor of the estate on behalf of the estate and trust. >> And as I've indicated, um the estate was not driving this commercial vehicle at the time these citations were issued. So, I'm I'm not going to accept that. I'm not going to carry this on further. >> a Mr. Do you have a power of a Do you have a power of attorney for this matter to continue? >> Do I? >> power of attorney? >> Or the court. >> Or yourself. >> Mr. Idris, I'm going to find the following, if you'll listen. I'm sorry, Mohammed Idris, if you'll listen, here's what I'm going to do. >> I object. I object. >> I understand. We're Your objections have been noted. Um I'm finding probable cause today for the charges. I'm finding that Mohammed Idris did appear today, even though he argued and objected that he was appearing on behalf of an estate uh or a trust. >> [cough] >> I'm [clears throat] going to enter uh a plea of not guilty to these charges. And I'm going to set a pre-trial hearing in this matter. Now, Mr. Idris, or Mohammed Idris, sorry. Um you may >> [clears throat] >> contact the prosecutor's office um by writing. You have uh an email address that we have for you. We're going to send notice to the two addresses that Department of Licensing has, and the email address that you used when you contacted the court of when your next court date is going to be. Um Mr. Farrell and Ms. Mann, I'll ask you to look for any contact from Mohammed Idris so that the discovery that he is requesting can be provided to him for his next court date. All right. We're going to set a pre-trial conference for August 23rd at 2:30, I'm sorry, at 2:00 in the afternoon in this courtroom. >> Uh I object. If I prefer to be there physically present. >> Come Come to court. You can do that. You do not have to be on Zoom. People come to court and have been here in court today. >> That's why I asked for continuance. Why you refusing my continu- continuance? You There is no proper notices. It's all based upon assumption and presumption and a hearsay. >> given notice at the scene as Mr. Farrow talked about when the fractions and you were mailed notes. >> That was not correct. Was he there? I was not given at the scene. He was not there. How can you accept his testimony that's not There's no affidavit. There's no witnesses. >> Okay. Mohamed Idris, I'm not going to argue with you. I'm not going to argue with you about this. I can accept the uh sworn testimony of the officer who testified that he in his in his citation that he presented those documents to you uh on the scene of the stop. So, if you want to continue to raise those arguments when you come back to court on the 23rd, that's fine. You can do that at that time, but we're not uh going to entertain any further arguments on that matter today. >> I object. >> I understand. And that's noted in the court record. >> Y- Your Honor, I >> [snorts] >> I I I'm I hate to be a pain, um but again, I I know where this case is headed. Um I I have to object on the record that this the person who claims to be some part of a state or whatever uh does not appear to be a licensed attorney and is thus not authorized to make objections on the record on behalf of any other party. If Mr. Idris would like to proceed pro se, I would ask that the court uh read or go through the pro se colloquy with him, but otherwise, I would ask that his objections not be noted. And I would renew my request for a warrant. Thank you. >> I object. Again, >> Mr. Farrow. >> I object again. What he said is not the fact. He's assuming. >> Are you an attorney, Mohammed Idris? Are you an attorney? You licensed attorney in the state of Washington? >> You haven't answered my question when I asked you does the court have a uh power of attorney against this case? And all three of you guys refused to answer. And the prosecutor >> know what that is. I don't know what it is that you're asking. >> You don't know what power of attorney is? You have to have a power of attorney >> the criminal case. >> It's a civil, it's not criminal. Is it not? >> No, these are criminal charges. At least one of them is. >> Who's the executor of the estate? >> Mr. Idris, you're missing the point. You're setting yourself up for more trouble. As Mr. Pharaoh points out, >> [clears throat] >> in order for you to represent yourself, you take a great risk in this case. And essentially, that's what you're saying you're doing. >> Everything >> [clears throat] >> Everything is a trust, is it not? >> I don't know. I have only your testimony to that effect. >> [clears throat] >> You're forcing me without my consent to administrate my estate without my consent. So, I object to that gentleman. I want to get his name. Is he the prosecutor for this case? What's his name? >> Uh yes, Tom Pharaoh. You Can you see his name on the screen? >> Tom Pharaoh. Is he the prosecutor for this case? >> I'm going to assume so. He's here talking about it. >> And I'm going to need the uh uh discovery from him. When I called, how come nobody picked up the phone? >> Well, I have no idea who you called and what the what the situation was. All right. Um so I'm finding probable cause in the case ending in 7205 refusing to comply with the police officer. This man, do you have uh request conditions of release? >> Um >> I object. That's a hearsay. >> For both, the state uh request personal recognizance with no criminal violations and no driving without valid license and insurance, your honor. >> I object. The fact is not being indicated onto the record. Are we even on the record? >> We are on the record. All of this is on the record. It'll be there for you to review if you choose to do that. >> Is everything being recorded? >> Yes, it is. >> You have the fi- final thing I'll note for the record is even if this individual does reach out to the prosecutor's office, I'm not authorized to talk uh to a representative who's not an attorney, nor am I allowed to uh speak about a case with an individual who may or may not be represented and who certainly hasn't uh indicated that he intends to proceed pro se today. I So, I'm just at a bit of a loss here. >> I object. >> I understand that. >> I'm I'm not the defendant. >> You're creating You're attempting to create a roadblock that uh uh >> Is he saying I'm the defendant? >> it. Mr. Pharaoh makes a good point. Uh >> Is he saying I'm the defendant? Is that what he's saying? Does he have a proof that I'm the deceiver? >> Mr. Mohammed Idris, are you representing yourself today in this case? Are you going to represent yourself on August 23rd when you come back to court? >> It's impossible to represent myself, is it not? >> No, it is possible. It's not necessarily a wise choice to represent yourself, but it's possible. Do you understand that you are you are if you represent yourself, you are held to the same standards uh that an attorney is held to in terms of understanding the law and procedures of court if you choose to represent yourself. >> I object again. Is the court [clears throat] using my bond? Where is the appearance bond? And the bid bond? I do not understand. I do not comprehend. And I wish not to proceed. >> Under those circumstances, Mr. >> Where is my bond? >> Idris, you should contact an attorney to give you some advice as to how to proceed in this matter. >> I object. Where is my bond? I need my bond back. I need my bid bond. Or a right one and overnight it. Where is my bid bond? And who is the highest bidder of the case? >> All right, on uh this case, State of Washington versus Mohammed Ismael Idris, case number 3 A 0257 205 WSP charges vehicle operator refusing to comply with the police officer. I'm entering a plea of not guilty to that charge. Um I am setting certain I am finding probable cause first of all on that charge. I am entering uh a plea of not guilty to that charge. It is obvious from Mr. I'm sorry, from Mohammed Idris's responses he doesn't want to um >> I object. >> of guilty to this charge today. We're not going to allow him to uh frustrate the procedure of the court uh by taking a irresponsible position like this. Um The conditions on your release, you are released on what's called your personal recognizance. That's your promise to return to court. Your court date is going to be August 23rd. We're going to send you notice to the two addresses that we have from the Department of Licensing and also to the email address that you contacted this court about. Um While you are waiting for that August 23rd court date, you are not to commit any new criminal law uh offense. >> And you're not to drive without license and insurance. >> I object. >> Um >> [snorts] >> Your next court date is going to be >> I need more time. August 23rd is not enough. >> Uh it's plenty of time for court here. So, we're going to do it on August the 23rd. >> I object. >> at 2:00 p.m. >> How can a trustee tell an executor what to do? Cuz I'm occupying the office of the executor. >> not a civil matter. It's a criminal matter. Uh I am not going to um >> I am the executor and beneficiary of the trust, am I not? You're the trust >> no idea. Not an >> issue for this court. Mr. Farrow, I'm not going to issue a bench warrant today. Uh, I don't know how to answer the question that you've raised, which I think is a good one, about your ability to provide response to Mr. Idris's request for discovery. Um >> I'm not Mr. >> have the answer to that. So, Mr. Idris, you're able to get the order that I've just signed um from the Thurston County District Court website under the cause number um Let me find it. >> [clears throat] >> 3A0257205. Your next court date will be the 23rd of August at 2:00, and you are certainly welcome to be here in person on that day. Thank you, Mr. Idris. >> I will not be I will not be there in person. >> And that is how the hearing ends, folks. The judge tried to give him a court date, told him he could appear in person, and gave him the case number so he could get the order from the court website. But instead of simply taking information and preparing for the next date, he ends up by saying or he ends excuse me, he ends by saying he will not be there in person. I told you this guy had his sovereign citizen head on. He wasn't going to budge, he wasn't going to bow, he wasn't going to bend, whatever other B words you can come up with, >> [music] >> he wasn't trying to do. And that is the kind of statement that can create even more problems when he's saying [music] that he's not going to appear in person is going to create more problems because the court has now put [music] the next date on the record. Whether he agrees with the process or not, the court will be moving forward. And that's all we got for you guys today. Don't you forget that no one is above the law.
