means I'm going to break the window unlock the vehicle and pull you out you understand telling you I am telling you if you do that this is going to go south quick it's not a threat a hell if it ain't you're threatening me to get out of this vehicle so you can try to kidnap me meanwhile you stolen my property a driver was pulled over by law enforcement but instead of complying blindly he stood firm in his understanding of the law under 18 us code section 241 it is illegal for two or more persons to cons asire to deprive someone of their constitutional rights the driver immediately asserted his right to travel freely refusing to recognize the officer authority over him he made it clear that he was in a private automobile not a commercial vehicle and therefore was not subject to statutes governing Commerce the officers unfamiliar with the distinction continued pressing for compliance okay so what are we going to do here we're we're going to have a gunfight on the side road is what we're going to have so I can read it to the sheriff could you'd be so kind so an if you come out and explain to me your passport I'll hear your SED you've already heard my side I've already told you my side you can explain your passport to me I don't need to explain it you should know this as a Leo should seen your I've never seen your passport well then I don't know what to tell you we'll sit here all goddamn night but I am not getting out of this goddamn private automobile to explain myself that I've already already done I'm asserting my rights to travel and I'm informing you that you have no jurisdiction or authority over me and you're not trying to accept it ask the guy to pull me over to get it I'll show it to you it's real simple I'm not this is real simple you're making it difficult I I don't feel that I am well I'm the one making it difficult right right because I won't do what you ask I don't have to do what you ask you have zero authority over me I don't contract with foreign corporations No Authority no jurisdiction there's nothing in any law how's it a contract for you to get out of your vehicle and explain your passport to me I don't need to do any of that I'm trying to explain to you I don't need to do any of that I'm not saying go get the passport bud and I will read it to you I was asking you to do I am asking you to go get my passport and I will read it to you about that that makes all kinds of sense but you ain't ready for that are you we're in a we're in a bind then okay we're in a bind I want you to get out and explain it to me I'm not getting out of this private automobile not happening when asked to exit his vehicle the driver refused emphasizing that he had not committed a crime under Texas Transportation code section 5 21.0 25 Texas law only requires a driver to exhibit a driver's license upon lawful request it does not require exiting the vehicle unless there is a separate legal justification such as Reasonable Suspicion of a crime officer safety concerns or probable cause for an arrest which the cops did not have in this situation he then requested his passport which had been taken by the highway patrol instead of producing it the officers kept insisting that he step out to explain his documents the driver countered by state that they had no legal ground to demand his compliance and accuse them of theft for withholding his property so ask them gentleman politely sir highway patrolman may I please have my passport to read to the sheriff they're not they're not going to give it back to you until they're not going to give it back to me so you're telling me the highway patrol in Wyoming has stole my private property is that what you guys are telling me you can claim no it's not a claim sir that's another matter of fact of law does that passport belong to any of you does that passport belong to any of you the answer is no and if you're not giving that back to me uhhuh which is my said possession what is that called what's that called as Leos you should know what that's let me know that's called theft okay so young man may I have my P passport please to read to the sheriff okay the only way you're getting your passport is once you step out of this vehicle why do you want me out of this vehicle so bad you guys because there is state law case law Pennsylvania versus case law is not law that's where you're wrong again case law ain't law okay not even close what you guys need to do is understand that I am correct you have no authority over me none I don't have to get out of this private automobile I don't have to obey your corporate bylaw speed limits okay let me just explain this to you you're not leaving here until you step out of the vehicle then well I ain't leaving I am not going anywhere and your threats don't mean Jack to me bud well it's not a threat it's a hell if it ain't you're threatening me to get out of this vehicle so you can try to kidnap me meanwhile you've stolen my property and he can't even admit that it's the property of the United States government actually sir as a no it is not yes sir what is possession it's it it is prob what is possession sir not going to argue with you sir I know you can't argue with me cuz you don't know the law possession is 9/10 of it correct all I said was huh all I said when I stopped you I didn't say you're

automobile this ain't a vehicle okay what is it then it's a private automobile actually Congress passed a law July 8th of this year that nobody in the United States needs a driver license unless they're dealing in Commerce have you all been informed of that I missed that one well of course because you guys are revenuers for a foreign corporation running under statutes and codes none of you have ever studied the law okay so just admit that you don't have authority over me hand me my passport and say I'm sorry for impeding your travel what do I need to give you to get you out of your vehicle no you ain't getting me out of this private automobile okay why would I I haven't committed a I'm giving you a wful officer the peace officer to step out of your vehicle you're doing what now we be right back okay okay okay the officers attempted to justify their demands by citing state law but the driver shut down their arguments case law is not statutory law and under 49 us code section 31301 federal law governs commercial transportation not private travel he pointed out that the police were enforcing corporate bylaws not actual la laws and reminded them that Congress had recently clarified that no license is required for personal travel the officers visibly frustrated had no counterarguments but continued making empty threats you was parked this under a tree huh what's that yeah parked this under a tree well I had an Oldtimer tell me once they only sing for the rich that's exactly what's going on right here I ain't had no problems from anybody for 2 years or more cuz

with water freezing I really don't have time for this okay sir I'm telling you we if we have to we will break the window unlock the vehicle and pull you out do you want it to get to that or do you

with your orders no I do not yes sir I do not okay so what are we going to do here we're we're going to have a gun fight on the side of road is what we're going to have we do not need to have a gun well then then you better start listening to sense you need to start listening no sir I do not need to listen to an agent of a foreign corporation okay okay I asked you guys to go back there and call somebody in town that actually knows the law who's this person in town that knows the law apparently somebody I would try with John Harland as the sheriff and ask John Harland okay and ask him okay well we have a representative of the sheriff's office right here and he was talking to you I know but that don't mean he knows the actual law look I'm not trying to get anybody riled up and I apologize for doing that what I'm trying to do is find a a an ending to this that's civil for both of us here's the simple ending you guys admit that you have no authority over me we can't do that sir well I'm sorry you can't do that okay but I am not going to allow you to violate my rights to travel I will not allow you to to damage my private property okay I'm telling you right now I don't want

private property nothing not happening I don't have to get out of this vehicle okay so why why are we coming to this why are we button heads there why don't you want because you guys are not listening to the matter of fact of law that's why when the officers resorted to threats of breaking into the vehicle the driver remained composed under 18 us code section 242 any officer who deprives someone of their rights under the color of law is committing a federal crime he warned them that if they broke his window and unlawfully detained him they would be personally liable the situation became tense when he stated that he would not allow his rights to be violated hinting that any forceful action could escalate beyond their control the officers hesitated realizing they were in dangerous legal territory matter of fact of law it's called the matter of fact of law the fact of that matter matter is you have zero authority over me where I'm going to travel how I'm going to do it what I'm going to do it in and what placards I place on said private automobile okay okay just give me one second okay this ain't going to why you why are you threatening to get in a gunfight right because I'm not going to allow them to [ __ ] violate my [ __ ] dude I not allowing them to violate my right to travel freely and damage my private property because I won't listen to a soall Authority that has none over me really and I've explained myself over and over so if I got if we got somebody on the phone you you talk to somebody there ain't nothing to talk about you you wouldn't want to talk to anybody there's nobody to talk to about anything what is there to talk to you guys not admitting that you have no authority over me is that what it is you said you wanted to talk to sheriff harand I don't want to talk to Sher I've already talked to him I've talked to all your judges your State's Attorneys State's Attorneys know I sent them ceasing assist [ __ ] disappeared why because I know the law

their next move realizing they had no lawful basis to continue they ultimately returned the driver's passport under 42 us code section 1,983 any government agent who violates constitutional rights can
