This seems to be a common problem with FOTLers. They don't understand that the law assumes that the words are interpreted as having their usual meaning in English, and specific legal definitions are only required to clarify or avoid ambiguity, for example specifying that "person" includes artificial persons as well as (the usual english meaning of) natural persons.
Do you realize that if a statute contains the definition, you MUST use that definition??
What is a person in law dictionaries isn't important if the statute has the definition for person within, which it usually does. The answer is in the statute!!
Are you the owner of this vehicle sir?
Am I obligated to give you that information?
Whats your name sir?
Am I obligated to give you that information?
Yes
Who says?
Me, now one last time whats your name?
I am not obligated to give you that information?
You are under arrest for failure to provide your name in contravention of the Road Traffic Act sections 164 & 165
But I dont consent to that act
Get in the van sir, you can explain it all to the desk sergeant.
OK... so you wanna take a ride, eh??
==============
+ Are you the owner of this vehicle sir?
- That would depend on who is asking. May I see your drivers license, your badge number, and your business card?
+ Sure. Here ya go. Now are you the owner of this vehicle sir?
- Why do you make the presumption that this is a vehicle and not an automobile, as clearly made a distinction between in these numerous Supreme Court cases.... {hands Notice of Supreme Court Cases (see Travel section in my sig) &
Title 18, Section 242 of the U.S. Code -- "Deprivation of Rights under the Color of Law"}
+ UMM.... I really have no idea. I'm enforcing something that I don't actually understand. I'm certainly not an attorney. Let me go ask my superior what I need to do...
**10 min later**
+ Step out of the car, please.
- That will not be a problem, provided that you can prove I have committed a criminal act against my fellow man.. otherwise, I reserve my right to stay in my locked vehicle, with my window just barely cracked, and my cell phone straight at your face!
+ Umm... The Rules of the Road state that everyone operating a motor vehicle must present a drivers license upon demand, or else I'll need to write you a citation.
- That's just fine and dandy, but that is not a motor vehicle. I am not for hire. This is my private automobile. Nowhere in Title 63 of the MS Code will you find the term automobile for the reasons I've outlined in that Notice I presented you with. This private conveyance is NOT registered to your corporate body, therefore, it cannot be a motor vehicle... because all motor vehicles must be registered, right? If you do not have evidence that my Common Law "RIGHT" to travel in an unregistered, private carriage is... I'm going to be going about my business. Thanks.
+ DURRRR....
===============
+ What's your name, sir?
- I might be able to help you out with that, as soon you prove that you're a real cop. I'll need to see your drivers license, badge no, & business card.
+ Sure thing. Here ya go... Now what is your name?
- I don't have a name. But people call me Kyle. Am I free to go?
+ NO.
- Are you detaining me?
+ YES. What is your last name, Kyle?
- Are you sure that a man is obligated to have a last name?? If so, please cite the law for me.
+ DURRR.... TELL ME YOUR LAST NAME BEFORE I BUSSA CAP !!
- Madonna doesn't have a last name. Cher doesn't have a last name. Bono doesn't have a last name. Would you shoot them, too?
+ SHUT UP!! STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!! THAT'S MY JOB!!
- Sorry sir, but I've really gotta run now. If you can't prove to me that an automobile is mentioned in Title 63 of the MS Code (because I know it's not), nor if you can prove to me that I'm required to have a last name (I could make one up for you, if you can find such a statute)... then I'll need to be rippin' and runnin' right about now. Thanks, tho. BYE!!
+ WAIT!
- OK. You've got one last chance to be productive before I kick rocks.
+ What is your SSN?
- Am I obliged to give you that??
+ OF COURSE NOT... GTFO HERE!!
===============
+ What's your name?
- That would depend, ossifer. Are you acting legally or lawfully?
(Surely you've heard that one before, right??)
I'm hitting the sack, tho. You get the idea. There's a thousand different things to conditionally accept or simply question, if you actually know what the law actually states. Notices are a great help, too... especially ones that show you have the "RIGHT" to "TRAVEL" in a "PRIVATE AUTOMOBILE" and the ossifer can get up to 10 years for deprivation of rights under the color of law.
Equality before and under the law is paramount.
G'nite!!!
BTW... You sounded like a "pud" (I'll have to start making up names... or is fictional name-calling not allowed here, either??) when you weren't sure whether you were obligated to provide a name or not -- "I am not obligated to give you that information?"
That doesn't sound very reassuring for somebody who knows what they're talking about. I'd bust your window out if I were a cop, too... with you able to type out your fear and all. PUDDIN'! So sweet!!
