[Music] Have you any idea how successful censorship is on TV? >> Don't don't know the answer. >> H >> successful, isn't it? >> And welcome to facts or frauds. Next case, State of Kansas versus Sydney Taylor Lesley 25CR 250. >> Good afternoon, Miss Lesie. Miss Lesley, you're charged by way of information honor about May 21, 2025 in Butler County, Kansas with interference with law enforcement, a class A non-person misdemeanor. Count two, same date and location. No proof of insurance, a class B non-person misdemeanor. Same date, location. Count three, no driver's license in possession, an unclassified non-person misdemeanor. though. Then count four, same date and location, failure to register vehicle and unclassified non-person misdemeanor. And Miss Lesley, do you understand the charges pending against you? >> I comprehend the alleged charges against me. >> Thank you, Miss Lesley. Uh, Miss Lesie, you do have the right to counsel if you cannot afford an attorney. >> Pardon me. Excuse me. I was going to say that I comprehend the certain statutory allegations that have been made against me, but I cannot and do not admit to understanding or accepting the jurisdiction of this court over my person or the subject matter absent proof of corpusi and a verified complaintant from an indri party. to do so would constitute a waiver of fundamental rights which I explicitly refuse to wave pursuant to KSA subsection 22 60-212 in the doctrine of special appearance recognized in Kansas jurist prudence. Okay. Uh you do have the right to counsel if you cannot afford an attorney. One would be appointed to represent you. And Miss Lesley, are you currently employed? >> Uh, for the record, your honor, uh, just to start from the beginning, u I, Sydney Taylor Lesley, appearing specially and not generally in proprior persona, Zuie Durus, as a living woman and not as a legal fiction or corporate entity. I reserve all rights without prejudice pursuant to KSA subsection 84-1-308 and UCCC1-308. Let the record reflect that my appearance today is under explicit protest and duress and solely for the purpose of challenging jurisdiction and preserving my uniable rights as secured by the Constitution for the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of Kansas. But and your honor, before these proceedings p advance further, I must respectfully challenge this court's jurisdiction in Toto and move for immediate dismissal of all charges. I hereby invoke the burden shifting doctrine established in state vers sheepard in 2009 and state verse seams in 2004 which places the affirmative burden upon the prosecution to establish by sworn non-harsay allegations within the four corners of a valid charging instrument that every element of the alleged offense and my commission thereof is has been properly established. The threshold matter of jurisdiction must be adjudicated prior to any other proceedings as articulated in exparte young uh in 1908 and recognized by this Kansas Supreme Court. Jurisdiction is a fundamental prerequisite to all jurisdictional jurisdictional proceedings. The legal max injury just nontorra uh law does not arise from injustice applies to these proceedings in their entirety. Okay. And the court finds that Miss Lesie is appearing as a sovereign citizen before the court. And the court uh once again >> I object to any of that derogatory. Uh it's very biased. I move for immediate dismissal on those grounds. and follow over rules the motion for dismissal of the case. >> Overrules dismissal of the >> prejudice and >> the court will find that Miss Lesley that the court does find it has jurisdiction to proceed and subsequently the court >> I object you called me a sovereign citizen. I object. I You called me a sovereign citizen. That is prejudice and bias. >> No prejudice or bias is asserted as to yourself. >> However, the court as opposed to trying to write down docket notes to that effect is just recognizing what you are advising the court that the court has no jurisdiction over you and based on your statement made to the court. Subsequently, the court does find you've posted a $3,000 cash bond. $3,000 cash bond has been made. Court does accept the same. And the court does schedule this matter next before Judge Webster on Monday, August 11, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Monday, August 11, 2025, 9:00 a.m. before Judge Webster. Once again, Monday, August 11, 2025, 9:00 a.m. before Judge Webster. you do need to participate by Zoom process at that point. Subsequently, the court finds that uh Miss Lesley has not requested courtapp appointed counsel. Court does not appoint counsel at this point. The court does find that she has posted bond in the amount of $3,000 cash $3,000 cash bond. And the court has scheduled her next appearance date before Judge Webster on Monday, August 11, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Any other matters to come before the court? Mr. Mr. Sweeney. >> No, your honor >> and Miss Lesley. >> Uh, your honor, my jurisdictional challenge is predicated upon multiple independent grounds, each sufficient to warrant dismissal. First, I challenge personal jurisdiction pursuant to Kansas rule of civil procedure. I appear specially, not generally, and not I have not consented to this court's jurisdiction. The court re the record before this court is devoid of evidence establishing proper jurisdiction over my person as a living woman rather than a legal fiction or corporate entity as distinguished in Hail in 1906 in recognizing Kansas juristprudence. Second, I challenge subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Kansas rule of civil procedure 60-212 B1. No verified complaintant from any any injured party has been filed as required by KSA subsection 22-2301 in Butler County Local Rule 3.1. The perpetrated charges arise from actions of agents of the state acting under a color of law, not from a legitimate controversy between adversar adversarial adversarial parties withstanding as required by article 3 juristprudence of jur jurist credential uh principles adopted by Kansas courts and state xel Morrison versius. Third, I challenge uh territorial jurisdiction. And the alleged incident occurred after I had ceased operating my conveyance and was exercising my unalienable right to travel, placing it outside the territorial jurisdiction of traffic enforcement under KSA subsection 8-244, which by its plain language applies only to lenses who have voluntarily entered the regulatory framework. Fourth, the prosecution cannot establish the corpus delecti of the alleged offenses as held by the Kansas Supreme Court in state versus during in 2015. The corpus dicti rule serves as a safeguard against convictions based on false confessions or statements. One cannot interfere with a peace officer absent of officers lawful execution of duties where the initial detention was unlawful as it was here due to lack of probable cause. there can be no derivative crime or of interference. Fifth, the refusal to provide identification is not a crime in Kansas absent specific statutory circumstances not present present here today. Um this is in support by Brown vers Texas in 1979. Um the Supreme Court held that detaining a person solely to obtain identification uh violates the fourth amendment absent reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. The principle has been recognized and applied by Kansas courts. >> Um in one moment please while I gather another statement. Uh what? >> Okay. And another thing is and this is uh may it please the court for the record I must now enter an oral objection and motion for disqualification of the presiding judicial officer pursuant to Kansas rule 2.11 of the code of jur uh judicial conduct as well as controlling principles under the due process clause of the 14th amendment during a prior proceeding specifically that's proceeding. Um specifically um this court referred to me by the term sovereign citizen a a porative classification which carries with its government manufactured implications of extremism frivous and legal irrelevance. This label unprovoked and unsupported by any factual predicate constitutes a stigmatizing judicial characterization that violates my right to a neutral and detached tribunal. The use of that term demonstrates either a prejudice bias or a judicial pre predeposition toward delegate delegating the substance of my legal posture. As the Kansas Supreme Court was held, even the appearance of partially mandates recusal, and here the record reflects actual prejudice in open court. Wherefore, I respectfully move this honorable court to dismiss all charges with prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. Issue of finding >> not going to happen. No, not going to happen. >> That the prosecution has failed to meet its burden of establishing jurisdiction. Order the immediate return of all my property seed, including the 251 USD uh confiscated and converted to a reloadable Visa card without my consent. Order the expungement and permanent sealing of every associated record pursuant to KSA subsection 22-2410. Award compensation for the full measure of damages sustained, including costs for my automobile, window repair, bail costs, and compensation for unlawful detention and deprivation of liberty. grant such and other and further relief as this court deems just improper. The breaking of my automobile window without warrant or probable cause of my currency constitutes violations of clearly established rights for which the law provides remedies pursuant to the maximum ubie juice ibyium. Uh where there is a right there is a remedy. I reserve all rights without prejudice, wave none, and maintain my special appearance for the sole purpose of challenging jurisdiction and preserving my alenable rights as secured by the Constitution for the United States of America and the Constitution of the State of Kansas. And thank you for hearing me. I do appreciate you, your honor, and thank you for your time. And once again, the matter is set before Judge Webster on Monday, August 11, 2025, 9:00 a.m. by Zoom. There being nothing further to come before the court, court is in recess. And have a good day, Miss Lesley. >> Thank you, your honor. Okay, we had just called 25 CR250, state of Kansas versus Sydney Taylor Lesley Jared for the state. Uh, Miss Lesie appears in person and per se. Miss Lesie, is that you? >> Yes, your honor. >> Where's your attorney? Are you going to have an attorney represent you? >> I am presenting myself. >> You know you have the right to an attorney to hire any attorney of your choice. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, you can apply, which I think you've already done, but you you did not request an attorney. Is that right? >> I did not request an attorney. That is correct. >> You want to proceed on your own behalf? And you can do that. No one's going to stop you from doing that. But is anyone making you give up your right to an attorney today by any threats or promises? >> No. >> Okay. Understand you can hire and if you can't afford you can apply for courtapp appointed and if you qualify one would be appointed. Do you understand that? >> I comprehend. Yes. >> You do not wish to have an attorney. >> I do not wish to have an attorney. >> All right. I will wave show the on the record that you've waved your right to an attorney and that you're going to proceed on your own behalf. So how do you plead then Miss Taylor to or Miss Lesley I guess. Miss I'm sorry I'm just saying it wrong. Miss Lesie, how do you plead to count one interference with law enforcement off? >> Uh, a plead would be inappropriate uh inappropriate at this time. I'm hoping to request a continuence. >> Why would a plea be inappropriate at this time? >> Um, I Okay, so your honor, for the record, I am Sydney Taylor Lesie and propri persona Subie Jurus. I am here by special appearance only and not making a general appearance. I reserve all of my rights, remedies, and objections, including but not limited to any objection to jurisdiction over my person. Um, I require a continuence in this matter. Um, I intend on filing a subpoena for body cam and cruiser footage. There are facts in dispute in dispute on this matter that I'm looking to clear up before the matter can continue further. >> All right. I will grant a continuous for you to obtain discovery, but if you don't know how to do the things you just rattled off, you better have an attorney do it for you. Do you understand? >> I understand. >> All right. Mr. Gear, do you wish to be heard before I pick the date for this? >> Your honor, um, this does appear to be the first setting since the first appearance hearing before Judge Hart back in June. If the court is prepared to set this matter over for discovery purposes, the state does not object. I'm not sure if the court wishes to set that matter for uh merely control at this time, but I'll defer to the court on that point if the court will find that the bond is being continued and this continuence is at the request of the defense for speedy draw purposes. All right, Miss Leslie, you're charged again with interference with law enforcement officers, a class A non-person misdemeanor, driving without insurance, a class B misdemeanor, and driving without a license in your possession, an unclassified misdemeanor, as well as failing to register your vehicle, another unclassified misdemeanor. The judge would have gone over these with you at first appearance. You want to go over them again as far as the penalties? Uh, no. Thank you. >> All right. And you've indicated you want to exercise certain rights that you are entitled to and encouraged to, but as I said, an attorney could certainly help you carry out those rights. And you said you do not want that attorney. >> That is correct. >> Okay. Well, I'll have the record and the docket notes show that you have waved your right to counsel and that you know what you're doing. Now then, do you want to set it for trial, Miss Lesley, or do you want to get the records and look at them and then set it for trial? >> Uh, I would like to have a continuence um perhaps for discovery or an an evidentiary hearing if possible. Well, I can continue it for both those readings >> for reason for both those readings to give you time to get all your discovery the dash cam body cam things you were mentioning. >> Okay. >> And then we can also set it for trial. So, when's a good trial date, Jim? >> Your next one will be September 24th. >> All right. You'll need to be back here with all your witnesses. September 24th. 2025 at 1:30 and that will be by Zoom again. >> Your honor, if I may just get a little more time due to the fact that I'm going to be submitting the subpoena and I'll need uh discovery uh and I need to just review it so that I can have um adequate time to present myself for my defense. >> Well, that's 30 days. You don't think that'll be enough? How much time are you asking for? >> Um I'm hoping for at least 60 days. >> Jen, do we have 60 days? We have October 22nd or October 29th at 1:30. >> Which of those do you prefer? >> I would prefer October 29th. >> October 29th. Is this continued to October 29th at the defendant's request? Is that over your objection or not, Mr. I don't remember any objections? Your honor, if the court is prepared to set this matter for trial, um the state does not oppose that, but the state will be requesting a ruling as to whether or not the bond is being continued and if this continuence is at the request of the defense. >> Court does find this request at the defendants and the time will count against the defendant for speedy trial purposes. The matter is continued for bench trial to be heard and to be commence August 22nd, 2029 at 1:30 p.m. via Zoom. So, Miss Lesie, you can it's going to be here by Zoom. Right. Be sure you have your evidence ready if you're going to screen share it. Whatever you're going to do, make sure you can do that. And if you need any help getting your discovery or presenting your evidence, you're always able to hire an attorney. And if you can't afford one, apply, but do it well in advance of the trial so that you can get the application completed, returned, and the court can appoint your attorney, and you and the attorney can have time to present your case. >> Okay. Yes. Uh, your honor, I did hear you say October 22nd. Was it the 29th that I had requested at 1:30? >> You did. So, I'll make it October 29th. Jen, you said either. >> You said either and she picked the 29th. Correct. >> That is correct, your honor. will be October 29th at 1:30. Now, Mr. Regger will be subpoening witnesses himself for the state. And if you find out or decide you don't want to go with a bench trial, let him know as soon as you can so he can cancel any of those witnesses that he may have coming in. >> Thank you, your honor. >> You're welcome. And don't forget, you can look at diversion and see if that's an office option. You can call the county attorney, but definitely look into that issue of an attorney. >> Okay. Thank you, your honor. >> You're welcome. Anything further from the state, Mr. Regier? >> Your honor, if the court is continuing the bond in this matter, I have nothing further at this time. >> I am continuing the bond. All existing conditions plus the new ones I've stated on the record today. >> Thank you, Miss. >> You're welcome.
