This is mad Max syndrome. And what you're about to witness is one of the most sinister sounding intros to a trailer to one of the greatest epics ever produced in the history of television. There's more because you are going to see it as well. Welcome to facts or frauds. Hey friends, just to catch up with you. This sovereign citizen is in the United States military. That's how much this movement is spreading. Keep an eye out. be on the record in Johnson, that is case number 2024 TR 22, state of Kansas versus Danny Johnson. County attorney Jill Gillette for the state. Mr. Johnson appearing in person and pro se. Your name tag on your uniform says Johnson, so I presume you are Mr. Johnson. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. If you could get right in front of that microphone, thank you. Can you hear me? I can. Sir, you're charged in count one with speeding 82 mph in a 65 mph zone. That is a traffic infraction. It is not a charge that carries any jail time. It has a scheduled fine. 82 in a 65 is $87. But then there's also 108 court costs. In count two you're accused of operating your motor vehicle without proof of insurance. Now, if you had insurance, but just couldn't find it, uh you can get the proof to the county attorney, and she'll probably dismiss that charge. If in fact it had lapsed or something was happening so that you didn't have insurance on the vehicle at the time, the time being January 4th, 2024, that is a B misdemeanor. The maximum penalties as far as jail time would be 6 months, although probation is usually granted. There is a mandatory minimum fine the court must impose of $300, but it could be as high as 1,000. You do have the right to hire any attorney of your choice. If you cannot afford an attorney, you can apply and see if you qualify for court-appointed. You can waive your right to counsel and represent yourself. Another option you might be able to apply for diversion. That is where you apply and if the county attorney approves you for diversion, you would pay agreed-upon fines, costs, get your insurance current, and pay a diversion fee, and she'd dismiss the charges and keep them off your record. If you want to talk about diversion or anything else with your attorney, you certainly will have the opportunity to do that. Your pleas you you have a choice of pleas. You can plead not guilty, and we can set this for trial at a later date. You can plead guilty, admitting the charge, and we would proceed with sentencing. Or you can plead no contest, which is neither admitting nor denying the charges, but you'd still most likely be found guilty, and we'd proceed to sentencing. If you want to look into diversion, we'll enter a not guilty plea to give you time to do that. You can always change your plea, but once you're convicted, pre-trial diversion is off the table. So Yeah, probably not eligible to for diversion based on his driving record. Okay. Well, do you want to talk to an attorney then and and discuss whether or not you have a defense No, you're all I would like to request a declaratory judgment to due to there is no agreement uh for my performance under the ending agreement or commission of this court. Well, I don't need an agreement from you, sir. So, if I were Well, you don't know. I simply uh do not understand the nature and cause of the accusation with regard to the jurisdiction of the venue and nature of this action until the prosecutor properly alleges them there. I cannot enter a plea to the charge until I have the opportunity to uh raise a meaningful defense on my behalf. All right, I will then, since you cannot enter a plea today, I will enter a not guilty plea for you and give you time Your Honor. I object to you entering a plea to me because I must understand the nature and cause of these accusations. So, I do not agree to you entering a plea on my behalf. Well, your position is taken, and I'm still going to do it. I will note your objection for the record, but I'm going to enter a not guilty plea. Well, I object I object to you entering Your objection is noted. Your objection is noted, and if the time comes, you can appeal that to the court of appeals. Now, on the issue of your attorney Your Honor, I would like to ask who bring these charges against me. I should have the right to question. we're not going to have this this debate right now. I've told you your charges. I've told you the state of Kansas has filed those through its attorney, Jill Gillette. Well, I would like to call the state to the I would like to call the state to the stand, Your Honor. The state is laying in charges against me. Who is it How did I injure the state?

I advise you of your charges and possible Your Honor, I I object to the proceedings for I do not know the nature cause of the proceedings. a not guilty plea, Mr. Winn. Is that I object to you entering a I object to you entering a plea on my behalf. I do not grant you that right. Mr. Um the court You're You're supposed to act as a trustee Sir, you need to stop. You're being in contempt of court. You need to stop or I'll have the officer assist you in stopping. Mr. Well, you're I would like to also bring to the court to the US state 1 12203. Deputy Miles, could you Article 3, the judge must operate in good faith and good and good behavior. So, therefore, if you making a threat towards me, Mr. Winn, if he's going to keep being in contempt, I'm going to have to have you take him into custody on contempt. Then that would be searching illegal searching seizures, Your Honor. Mr. Winn, don't you need to go back You will. All right, Mr. It's false imprisonment. you to stop talking or you can go upstairs to the county jail. Now, do you want to go to jail tonight?

Yes. 9:00 a.m. You must be back here, sir, in person at the courthouse or you will be arrested for failure to come to court. Now, that deputy there is going to take you into custody if you cannot control yourself through the remainder of this hearing. I'm not doing anything. I'm just I'm just enforcing my right, your honor. All right. So, your your first right is to have a hearing date and that is September 27th, 9:00 a.m. The second No, I also have a right to understand the nature of this.

I don't need to hire an attorney, your honor. You want to represent yourself. I don't need to hire an attorney. I I would like for you as the judge to your honor to explain to me the nature and cause of these charges. I'm not going to appoint an attorney if you don't want me to. If you want You You said you don't want to hire an attorney. If you want to apply for court-appointed, the officers have forms there that you can fill out. I just want to understand the nature of the charges. If you don't want to fill one out, I'm going to assume you don't want an attorney. And then if you come to court September 27th at 9:00 a.m., you're going to be representing yourself if you don't hire or apply for court-appointed. And I Then the So, you've got the third issue. Does he have a bond? Looks like you do because you You failed to appear on February 27th at your first appearance. So, uh bench warrant was issued, bond was set at a thousand cash or professional surety. Looks like that was posted. Looks like you made a cash bond of a thousand dollars. Does that sound right? You put up a thousand cash? Back in uh July 12th? I'm still trying to understand the nature and cause of this allegation, your honor. I will continue your bond unless you get yourself a holding the jail on contempt before you leave. I will continue your bond with the condition that you reappear here in person at September 27th at 9:00 a.m. So, you've got your court date, you've got your bond, and we've talked about your lawyer.
