Welcome back to the Vanalian channel, guys. Today we head to San Jose, California for a video where a sovereign citizen attempts to write a travel script on his way to work as a mailman for USPS with all too predictable results. Right, let's get into the video. So, I just got pulled over right now. Um, on my way to work. Um, and the police haven't even came up. They're just back there talking or something. Huh? >> Hey, I'm not I'm not a threat, man. I'm not a threat. I'm a citizen of the United I'm I'm I'm not a threat to you guys, man. Why are you guys acting like this? >> There's nobody in here, man. >> No, I'm not going to put it all the way. I didn't do nothing, dude. What's going on? >> I'm going tell you right now, just lower the back window. >> Look, you can see in here, dude. Why are you acting like this, man? >> Lower the windows. I'll tell you everything right now. Okay. Sovereign citizens, everyone actively seeking to make life for themselves and everyone they come into contact with more difficult than it needs to be. And this is before we even get to the right to travel BS. >> Officer Aerodano, San Jose police. Okay. The reason why I stopped you, you don't have your front license plates and your registration's expired. Okay. >> Right. >> You have your license, registration, proof of insurance. >> Um, am I being detained? >> You are detained. Yes, sir. Can you read me my rights? >> Uh, I read you your rights only when you're arrested. I need your license reg. >> No, because I'm being detained. So, I need to know what my my rights are. >> Turn off your engine for me, boss. >> I need to know what my rights are. If I'm being detained, >> you're just detained right now. Your rights are when you're arrested. You're referring to your >> No, actually, this is an arrest. If I'm being detained, I'm not free to go. This is an arrest. >> No, mate. An arrest is what happens at the end of this video. This according to the law and numerous Supreme Court rulings is a temporary and limited detention and no amount of magic words and incantations will change that. >> Okay. So, what I need is your license, registration, proof of insurance. >> I'm asking you to read me my rights, sir. >> I stopped you for probable cause. Dude, I just want to be read my rights. What's going on? >> I'm I'm not I'm not a threat to you, man. I just want to know what's my rights are. I'm being detained. I was just on my way to work. I didn't commit any crime and there's no nobody. >> Do you understand why I stopped you today? >> No, I don't. >> Okay. Just roll the window down all the way for me, please. >> Sir, you can see me, man. quit asking me to roll my window down, please. >> All right. Can you talk to me? >> I All I All I'm just saying is I just >> um don't want my rights to be uh trampled over cuz it has happened. >> He's not asking you or forcing you to give up any of your rights, none of which you understand. By the way, you're being asked for documents you are legally required to produce during a lawful traffic stop. So, drop the victim complex. It's not necessary, nor is it a good look. your ID. >> And if I'm being detained and I'm not free to go, >> I would like you to read me my rights, sir. >> Your rights are you're referring to your Miranda rights, correct? >> Yes. >> That's when you're under arrest. >> I am under arrest right now. >> Is not being under arrest? >> Yes. If I'm not free to go, that's called an arrest. It's a custodial arrest, man. >> Okay, >> dude. If a police officer is telling you you're not under arrest, I think it's safe to assume you're not under arrest. But it sounds like you want to go to jail and you'll do everything in your power to make sure it happens. So, you do you, I guess. But I don't think the people you're letting down at work are going to be happy about it. >> So, the reason why I stopped you? >> I know the reason why. I'm asking you if you can read me my rights. >> I mean, I could, but there's no really reason to. >> Well, is anything right now that I I I can do or say can be used against me in the court of law? >> Need to see your ID, sir. Can anything that I say be used against me in the court of law or give to you? >> Yes. Right. That's what it's for. And so that's why I need to know what my rights are. >> Yeah. I mean, as long as you keep your hands on the reel, I can read your rights. >> Sure. Sure. But get it out of my card. Okay. >> Sure. Sure. Okay. You have the right to remain silent. Do you understand? >> Man, I'm I'm I'm asking you to read it. Um I I do understand everything in it. I'm just asking you to read it so I can so I can repeat some stuff to you when you come at me trying to violate my rights. That's all. >> This is not I'm not violating your rights. >> Well, if I haven't committed a crime and I'm being >> driving without a front license, Driving without a front license plate is a violation of the California Vehicle Code. That applies to everyone operating a motor vehicle on a public road. Refusing to provide your license, registration, and insurance are all misdemeanors. A misdemeanor, according to Cornell Law School, is a type of offense punishable under criminal law. End of conversation. Please just arrest this clown already. >> Sir, I need to see your ID immediately. Um, >> so I'm not being >> celebrating. You need to stay right there. Do not >> I'm staying right here, man. What do you mean? I'm I'm under arrest right now. Right. They don't want to read me my rights. This is some messed up stuff. I don't know if they even know what they're doing. The cop, he's training another cop, but he doesn't even know what's going on. And this is sucking right now. I just got pulled over two nights ago and this is this is too much. Why are people getting pulled over for infractions? Why is there no crime committed pulled over? >> Because regardless of what you read and choose to believe on the internet, driving without a plate and registration is illegal. It's not that hard to figure out, mate. I don't know what's going on, man. >> Never has a more accurate statement come out of the mouth of a sovereign citizen. Anyway, the officer who conducted the traffic stop called for his sergeant. So, let's skip ahead to the part where he arrives. >> Hello. >> How you doing? I'm Sergeant Porter, San Jose. >> Hi. How you doing? >> Good. >> Sir, do did the officers explain to you why you were stopped? Why they affected a traffic uh stop? Uh, yes. >> I'm sorry. >> Yes. >> Well, and what did and what did they say to you? >> Uh, he said that I didn't have a front plate. >> Okay. >> And and I wasn't registered. >> Okay. So So they mentioned the front plate registered. Did they mention the window? >> No. >> Okay. Are you aware that she had a large crack on the windshield? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, >> sir, >> are you aware they're all California vehicle coded violations? Yeah. And I'm aware that those are all for people who are in commerce or and doing commercial. >> I'm sorry. >> Um and that's commercial. That's all commercial. >> Yeah. >> Your vehicle code applies to everyone. >> Yeah. But but uh >> but uh nothing. Like he said, the vehicle code applies to you whether you like it or not. Your misunderstanding of the word employed from an outdated law dictionary doesn't dictate law. I'm not I'm not uh I'm traveling, sir. I don't want I'm traveling. I'm not driving. Driving is is the >> So, the thing is, look, we're we're we're on a roadway. There's moderate to high traffic. It's dangerous. >> I'm sure you can agree. Um just by the nature of our job, it's very dangerous. We don't want to get hit by a car. >> Did I parking is kind of dangerous? >> Did the officers ask Did the officers ask you to exit the vehicle to sign a citation? >> No. No. >> Okay. Okay. So >> Oh, yeah. I guess he told me to exit so he can re me my rights. >> Sure. So So you have a couple of options. So the option is uh if they give you they have just cause to pull you over. Do you believe they had just cause to pull you over? >> No. >> Okay. >> Because there's no crime. There's no crime. >> That's fine if you disagree. That's fine if you disagree. Um >> there's no there's no witness. There's no warrant. There's no uh there's no there's no injured party who said, "Hey, this guy just did this." >> One, the officer witnessed the violation of the law. Two, that gave him reasonable suspicion. Therefore, a warrant isn't required. Three, the injured party is the state of California. >> Uh, and I'm letting you speak and you have every right to speak >> and I'm traveling, so I'm not I'm not within that capacity where where you know, driver's license and all of that. That's not that's not the capacity that I'm driving. You don't have a front plate, >> huh? >> Do you agree that you don't have a front plate? >> Um, if if this was a vehicle and everything like that and I was driving and and and operating this vehicle, then then that would be the cause. But I am traveling. I am not I'm not I'm not under commerce and I'm not for hire right now. I'm going to work. I I'm not making any money or nothing from nobody. >> Okay. First of all, the state of California and the maker of the vehicle, in this case, Lexus get to determine what a motor vehicle is, not you. Secondly, you are were driving because again, each state under the 10th amendment get to determine definitions. And finally, traveling has nothing to do with transportation. In the same way, the word employed in an outdated version of Black's law dictionary doesn't necessarily mean commercial, and it certainly doesn't dictate state law. Um, some of this I understand. I just wanted to initially give you the the availability and the uh the option to speak freely. I understand that. Um, >> so objectively, hold on. >> Okay. >> Objectively, there are violations. The officers have to >> uh if they choose to write the citation in this case, they they are willing to write the citation. U doesn't mean you're you're guilty. Just means you'll be given a date and then you sign not any guilt. But when they So they're asking you to step out of the vehicle. So here's the thing. If you don't step out of the vehicle in the state of California, there's a section. >> I'm not within the state of California. >> Okay. >> I don't know if you understand that. That's some of that's for the courts. I get that. >> There's a joke out there about a mailman claiming the state of California doesn't exist to get out of delivering his mail. But for the life of me, I can't think of it. Help me out in the comments, will you? >> Uh, so California Penal Code Uhuh. 48 subsection A says if you res resist, obstruct or delay an officer in the discharge of their duties, it's an arrestable offense. >> What does uh when you read the Miranda rights, what do those mean? Those those are actual rights, you know. >> Sure. So, so we got two things generally speaking. Okay. What's going to trigger what's going to trigger the Miranda warnings by peace officer in the state >> and nationwide >> is if you're in custody, which you are not at this point >> and the officers >> custodial arrest right now. >> No, what I'm saying is that if you are in custody, which you are not currently, you're detained, meaning you're not free to leave. If you are in custody and the officers choose to question you, >> you're not free to leave that if I'm not free to leave, >> that means that I'm under arrest. I'm being under arrest right now. It It's just >> You are detained. >> Mhm. >> But now we're looking at this thing. It's a citation and release. >> So anything that I say while I'm being detained or do can be used against me in the court of law, right? >> Because you're not in custody. >> If you So okay. >> And if I was in custody and anything I do and say can be used against me in the court of law. >> So we have an option. Just Just >> The sergeant is about to give him two options. Sign the ticket and everyone goes their separate ways. Our soft seat friend can get on with his day and go to work or get arrested, go to jail and get his car towed. No prizes for guessing which option he goes with >> and I have the right not to incriminate myself. >> Absolutely. So we we can go so we can we can do this. I can I can read you your rights. You'll still obey a lawful order by peace officer by exiting. You can sign the ticket. The ticket is not order. Doesn't a lawful order come after you guys have authority, which there has to be a crime? >> The officers have authority by the state of California, >> right? When there's a crime committed, >> but other than that, you're a public servant, right? >> Sir, but a suspected crime was committed. And that's the reason why the effective traffic, >> right? But there has to be there has to be like somebody there, man. You guys can't just be sitting over there pulling over people for infractions. That right there doesn't It's >> You're gonna have to You're gonna have to have that up with the courts and legislation. If there's a statute, >> I'm not about statues, man. I'm just trying to say like this that I have I have the simplest rights, man. And you're trying to tell me that I have to violate those rights in order for you to do those jobs. >> Violate your rights. >> In order for you to do your job, I have >> no here to violate your rights. But I will tell you this. If you have two options, you can exit the vehicle with a lawful order. You can sign the citation automating guilt. You'll get a court date and you could be heard by magistrate. Or if you don't, you'll be in violation of 148 subsection 8 of the California Penal Code, which is an arrestable offense. Uh so you ask yourself, do you prefer to have the citation? >> I wonder how does that arrestable offense come in there when before there was no arrestable offense. >> Obstructive delay and offable duties. They've already explained to you. >> I just told you why though. Because I have rights, right? >> But operating a motor vehicle is not a right. It's a privilege. That's why traffic laws derived from the 10th amendment of the constitution exist. But you know, please don't let a little thing like you being completely wrong stop you from trying or going to jail. Speaking of which, >> right? >> Yes. >> So, and and if I use if I if I stay silent and um and then and then I don't incriminate myself and all of this stuff, >> you don't have to incriminate yourself. >> You don't have to incriminate yourself, but you do have to exit and sign. I'm not aditting. >> I'm not going to I'm not going to sign it. I'll exit it. So what do you got to do? Whatever you got to do. Um after that I would rather because of the nature of this I would rather not have any your >> I don't I don't even want you're saying this is a lawful what a a lawful command >> law a lawful command and your refusal will lead to your arrest >> to my arrest because of >> deprivation of your liberty. I do not I >> I'm already deprived of my liberty because I just told you I'm traveling, man. And I that's under my rights for liberty right there. And so I and I shouldn't be molested or nothing by these police officers for no reason unless I commit a crime. >> Of course you you've been pulled over for a suspected crime. Yes. >> How how what what crime did you suspect me of then? >> Everybody told you. Okay. You have a you have a defective windshield. You have no front plate and not a crime. elevated from an infraction to a misdemeanor, which is arrestable offense. I came as a supervisor to ensure the officers did their >> No, you supposed to come to ensure that my rights were were um were appalled. You know, you're not, dude. No, you're not. You're telling me that now I'm going to get a I'm I'm just saying this right now, man. I'm not going to sign nothing. You going to whatever you got to do after that. Um because I have the rights I have my right not to, man. And I'm just saying you guys if if if I enact my rights and you guys are saying that I'm about to get in trouble. Uh hey man, if you guys want me to get out the car, I don't want no violence. >> I don't want no violence, bro. >> And if it's going to lead to violence, >> I that's when I'm going to get out the car, man. I don't want to I don't want to get out the car. >> You getting out of the car would not lead to violence. It would not lead to violence. So, so you're telling >> I I don't know, man. I don't know why you guys are all like this, man. >> Because we're not gonna leave. You prompted this. >> I didn't I didn't prompt nothing. Yeah. >> Can you do me a favor? So, you have some stuff on the center console. Do you mind just pushing it off to the side? I I appreciate that. >> Yeah, that's >> Thank you. Do you have Sir, >> I I'm just saying, dude, you guys you guys I don't I don't want you guys to uh do any violence towards me, man. And if you're threatening me with violence, man. What? What's up with that? >> Sir, I'm going to I'm going to ask you right now to step out. >> Step out of the car, boss. >> So, you're placed under arrest. >> We'll come over here. >> Thank you for cooperating. >> So, the video ends abruptly, but according to the original video description, he was arrested and his car was towed. And apparently, they towed his Harley-Davidson motorcycle the next day as well. He claims it was because he threatened to sue them. And it sounds like his bosses at USPS weren't too impressed with him for not turning up to work that morning. in as well.
