Dear Readers:
Various law enforcement agencies around the United States and Canada
are starting to get real “pissed’ at people who run around calling
themselves “Freemen of the Land!”
(“Freemen on the land” are a loose group of people who claim that all statute law is contractual, and that such law is applicable only if an individual consents to be governed by it. They believe that they can therefore declare themselves independent of government jurisdiction, holding that the only “true” law is common law, as they define it. The “Freeman on the land” movement has its origins in various United States-based groups in the 1970s and 1980s, reaching Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada soon after 2000. Many “Freemen” beliefs are based on idiosyncratic interpretations of Admiralty or Maritime law, which they claim governs the commercial world. These beliefs stem from fringe interpretations of various nautical-sounding words, such as ownership, citizenship, dock, or birth (berth) certificate. Freemen refer to the court as a “ship”, the court’s occupants as “passengers” and claiming that anyone leaving are “men overboard” The FBI considers “sovereign citizen extremists” to be part of a domestic terrorist movement. – Wikipedia)
Seems these guys are dangerous because not only do they not want to obey societal laws, THEY ARE WILLING TO USE FORCE (GUNS!) TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT!
(It’s gotten to the point where if a cop even hears the words “Freeman of the land” they will step back and draw their gun!)
The latest bullshit from these people is a claim that they don’t need a drivers license to get around because they have “freedom to travel!” (This is because a lot of them have lost their drivers license for other stupid stuff!)
HERE IS ANOTHER ARTICLE THAT DISPLAYS A CASE OF CONVOLUTED LOGIC IN THEIR MIXED UP WORLD. (They also quote nonsensical court cases to back up their erroneous claims.)

For many years
professionals within the criminal justice system have acted upon the
belief that traveling by motor vehicle upon the roadway was a privilege
that was gained by a citizen only after approval by their respective
state governments in the form of a permit or drivers license.
“Undoubtedly the right of
locomotion, the right to move from one place to another according to
inclination, is an attribute of personal liberty, and the right,
ordinarily, of free transit from or through the territory of any State
is a right secured by the 14th amendment and by other provisions of the
Constitution.” Schactman v. Dulles, 96 App DC 287, 293…………………
Legislators, police
officers, and court officials are being made aware that there are court
decisions disproving the opinion that traveling is a privilege that
requires government approval.
“Even the
legislature has no power to deny to a citizen the right to travel upon
the highway and transport his property in the ordinary course of his
business or pleasure, though this right may be regulated in accordance
with the public interest and convenience.” Chicago Motor Coach v. Chicago, 169 NE 22.
(“Regulated” here means traffic safety enforcement: stop lights, signs, etc.)
“The right of the
citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property
thereon, either by carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege
which a city may prohibit at will, but a common right which he has under
the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Thompson v. Smith, 154 SE 179.
It could not be
stated more conclusively that citizens of the states have a right to
travel, without approval or restrictions (license), and that this right
is protected under the U.S. Constitution. Here are other court decisions
that expound the same facts:
“The right to travel
is a part of the liberty of which the citizen cannot be deprived
without due process of law under the 5th Amendment.” Kent v. Dulles, 357 US 116, 125.
“Undoubtedly the right of
locomotion, the right to move from one place to another according to
inclination, is an attribute of personal liberty, and the right,
ordinarily, of free transit from or through the territory of any State
is a right secured by the 14th amendment and by other provisions of the
Constitution.” Schactman v. Dulles, 96 App DC 287, 293…………………

London, Ontario is a city of almost half a million
people, of which about 75,000 are students at University of Western
Ontario and Fanshawe College!
Driving through downtown this afternoon I noticed cop cars on
just about every corner, and the whole city centre seemed to be
crawling with them.
Couldn’t figure out what was up until a taxi pulled up beside me with a load of university students wearing green hats!
That explained the cops alright!
