[00:00.000 --> 00:04.500] This news brief brought to you by the International Newsnet. [00:04.500 --> 00:10.300] 50,000 Greeks rallied in Athens Sunday to denounce politicians, bankers and tax dodgers [00:10.300 --> 00:14.700] as the government prepared to inflict another bout of austerity demanded by international [00:14.700 --> 00:15.700] lenders. [00:15.700 --> 00:20.780] Turnout was the biggest so far in a series of 12 nightly rallies in front of parliament [00:20.780 --> 00:23.180] inspired by Spain's protest movement. [00:23.180 --> 00:29.820] The government plans to impose $9.4 billion in budget cuts this year alone. [00:29.820 --> 00:34.820] Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, pleaded not guilty [00:34.820 --> 00:40.380] Monday to charges he sexually assaulted an African immigrant hotel maid in New York. [00:40.380 --> 00:44.300] It's convicted Strauss-Kahn could face up to 25 years in prison. [00:44.300 --> 00:50.080] Defense lawyers have said they believe forensic evidence wouldn't support a forcible encounter. [00:50.080 --> 00:54.960] About 100 women dressed as maids protested outside the court where Strauss-Kahn appeared [00:54.960 --> 00:57.720] shouting shame on you. [00:57.720 --> 01:02.780] The four-year blockade of the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt was reinstated Sunday after [01:02.780 --> 01:04.980] it was lifted the week before. [01:04.980 --> 01:09.940] After announcing the opening of the border last week, officials in Cairo rapidly backtracked [01:09.940 --> 01:13.140] and once again restricted access to crossing. [01:13.140 --> 01:17.340] Travelers, some of whom had waited days to cross, chanted, the people want to end the [01:17.340 --> 01:19.540] siege. [01:19.540 --> 01:22.460] State governments cut 30,000 jobs in May. [01:22.460 --> 01:25.140] The seventh straight month, they've shed workers. [01:25.140 --> 01:30.660] Mark Vittner, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities, expects state and local governments [01:30.660 --> 01:36.100] to slash 20,000 to 30,000 jobs a month through the middle of 2012. [01:36.100 --> 01:40.380] Republican governors, including Chris Christie of New Jersey, continue to claim that cutting [01:40.380 --> 01:43.140] state budgets is the path to job growth. [01:43.140 --> 01:49.740] However, Joel Noroff of Noroff Economic Advisors notes that when states cut spending to balance [01:49.740 --> 01:53.420] their budget, a ripple effect multiplies the damage. [01:53.420 --> 01:56.900] Companies that do business with states and local governments suffer. [01:56.900 --> 01:59.860] These companies, in turn, scale back their own hiring. [01:59.860 --> 02:04.420] Moody's Analytics estimates that each job in state and local governments supports an [02:04.420 --> 02:07.940] additional 1.3 jobs elsewhere in the economy. [02:07.940 --> 02:13.620] More than 467,000 state and local government jobs have vanished since the recession officially [02:13.620 --> 02:20.420] ended in June 2009, including 188,000 in schools. [02:20.420 --> 02:26.220] When U.S. allied Bahrain, 23 doctors and 24 nurses were charged Monday with attempting [02:26.220 --> 02:31.780] to topple the kingdom's monarchy by treating injured protesters, the 47 accused have been [02:31.780 --> 02:37.140] in detention since March, when the country declared martial law in response to pro-democracy [02:37.140 --> 02:40.180] demonstrations that swept the tiny kingdom. [02:40.180 --> 02:45.260] In the crackdown, Bahraini and Saudi troops with U.S. supplied weapons suppressed mass [02:45.260 --> 02:49.340] demonstrations by the country's majority Shia population. [02:49.340 --> 02:55.340] On Sunday, Bahraini police used tear gas, rubber bullets and bird shot to break up marches [02:55.340 --> 03:24.340] in Shia villages around the country. [03:56.340 --> 04:01.540] All right, folks, good evening. [04:01.540 --> 04:04.620] This is Monday night, June 6, 2011. [04:04.620 --> 04:09.340] This is Rule of Law Radio with Debra Stevens, Eddie Craig, Randy Kelton. [04:09.340 --> 04:14.660] It is Monday night, traffic night, so we're not going to have a whole lot to present [04:14.660 --> 04:20.940] right off the bat this evening, so I will go ahead and give out the call-in number, 512-646-1984, [04:20.940 --> 04:21.940] is the call-in number. [04:21.940 --> 04:25.300] If you have any questions or issues dealing with traffic, please feel free to contact us [04:25.300 --> 04:28.980] and we'll do what we can for you. [04:28.980 --> 04:34.100] Now, right now, a couple of issues I'd like to talk about regarding the classes that we're [04:34.100 --> 04:37.500] doing down at Brave New Books. [04:37.500 --> 04:42.820] If folks in Austin would like to get involved in this, please feel free to come down and [04:42.820 --> 04:44.620] join the class. [04:44.620 --> 04:47.740] We could use more teams and more people learning how to do this. [04:47.740 --> 04:52.780] That would definitely be a big plus for us in getting more people trained on how to fight [04:52.780 --> 04:57.100] this traffic ticket system and help to make it go broke. [04:57.100 --> 05:03.180] That's going to be the endeavor here, is to train enough people to make it so expensive [05:03.180 --> 05:08.020] for them to try these cases they have no choice but to stop. [05:08.020 --> 05:10.220] And that's what we're working toward. [05:10.220 --> 05:15.380] Right now, we've got enough people that we could actually complete four teams, but we [05:15.380 --> 05:18.380] don't have enough that are steady to make a full four teams. [05:18.380 --> 05:20.420] We could always use more people. [05:20.420 --> 05:27.220] Now, I did have a couple of calls today regarding issues on traffic and I had a couple of issues [05:27.220 --> 05:33.140] in class where people are still asking the question of how do you deal with a failure [05:33.140 --> 05:37.020] to maintain financial responsibility ticket in Texas? [05:37.020 --> 05:42.860] Well, the way that I'm going to recommend that it's addressed is that it's addressed [05:42.860 --> 05:53.660] as a violation of the rights of due process and that is codified right in 601.053 and the [05:53.660 --> 06:01.740] statute is written in such a manner as to leave no doubt whatsoever that its entire purpose [06:01.740 --> 06:08.540] is to deprive an individual of their Fifth Amendment right or their Article I, Section [06:08.540 --> 06:15.540] 10 right, not to testify against themselves, and it is also meant to completely reverse [06:15.540 --> 06:20.900] the burden of proof in these types of cases. [06:20.900 --> 06:31.500] Article Section A of 601.053 requires you to waive your right against self-incrimination [06:31.500 --> 06:38.220] by producing that proof of financial responsibility on demand. [06:38.220 --> 06:43.220] If you don't happen to have it, if it happens to be expired or you happen to be waiting [06:43.220 --> 06:48.580] on your new card and it hasn't arrived yet, so all you have is the expired one, this [06:48.580 --> 06:55.660] essentially makes it where you have to incriminate yourself, you have to get a ticket, then you [06:55.660 --> 07:00.460] have to go to court to contest the ticket, and then you still wind up having to pay [07:00.460 --> 07:05.900] the administrative fee to the court because of the ticket in the first place. [07:05.900 --> 07:12.580] No matter how this works out, they steal your money. [07:12.580 --> 07:20.140] Same thing applies with Subsection B. It specifically requires that the individual must provide [07:20.140 --> 07:21.660] proof of their innocence. [07:21.660 --> 07:29.100] In other words, you have to provide proof that you're not guilty in order to get out [07:29.100 --> 07:35.380] of the ticket, but you're still going to pay the administrative fee for getting the ticket. [07:35.380 --> 07:42.220] If this is not a sham, bogus, highway robbery system, I could not begin to tell you what [07:42.220 --> 07:44.420] else is. [07:44.420 --> 07:51.340] So the more people we have that understand what this is and know what this is and want [07:51.340 --> 07:56.700] to do something about it and will work to do something about it, the better off we are [07:56.700 --> 07:59.380] all going to be. [07:59.380 --> 08:04.900] So if you're within the sound of my voice here, folks, and you're in the Austin area [08:04.900 --> 08:09.500] or close enough that you can come to the class on a regular basis, right now we've got gentlemen [08:09.500 --> 08:14.420] that are coming from Fort Worth, Dallas, Corpus Christi. [08:14.420 --> 08:19.580] That's a drive, folks, but these people are committed to making a change to this. [08:19.580 --> 08:21.740] We need more. [08:21.740 --> 08:29.060] The biggest gripe I have about the Patriot community is its divisiveness. [08:29.060 --> 08:30.540] Everybody's got their own thing. [08:30.540 --> 08:33.140] Nobody's working toward one thing. [08:33.140 --> 08:38.380] Everybody's got their own pet peeve and their own pet projects, and we're not working together [08:38.380 --> 08:45.620] for a common goal of freedom and to remove the oppressive regulatory schemes the government [08:45.620 --> 08:48.060] has put in place. [08:48.060 --> 08:49.580] That's our fault. [08:49.580 --> 08:52.340] We won't get together and cooperate with one another. [08:52.340 --> 08:57.140] Everybody thinks we have to work on the big picture or the local picture or their picture [08:57.140 --> 09:03.100] or this picture, and we can't all seem to agree on what's the most important. [09:03.100 --> 09:09.860] The deal here is, is that I don't think that in a lot of ways anyone can take one particular [09:09.860 --> 09:16.140] thing and say it's more important than all the others because no matter how big the issue, [09:16.140 --> 09:22.140] something say like Alex Jones covers, there's nothing we're going to do at the top level [09:22.140 --> 09:26.780] without doing something at the bottom level first. [09:26.780 --> 09:32.260] We can't do anything about the people at the top level that are selling us out as long [09:32.260 --> 09:38.460] as there are people at the bottom willing to support that sellout. [09:38.460 --> 09:40.020] And that's what we've got. [09:40.020 --> 09:45.380] The federal government could do none of the things it's doing right now if the state government [09:45.380 --> 09:49.620] simply all stood up and said no. [09:49.620 --> 09:54.820] Not only will we not do those things, but we're no longer going to give you money so [09:54.820 --> 10:00.380] you can't afford to do them on your own either. [10:00.380 --> 10:04.940] And until you come back in line with what the people of the states want, we're cutting [10:04.940 --> 10:09.480] you off federal government, that's it. [10:09.480 --> 10:13.420] We don't have anyone at the state level wanting and willing to do that. [10:13.420 --> 10:20.980] Then again, how do you control the state legislature if it's not from the local level of your counties [10:20.980 --> 10:27.220] within the state or your precincts or parishes or whatever it is your particular state runs [10:27.220 --> 10:30.260] off of in that regard. [10:30.260 --> 10:34.380] If you can't control your county government, how are you going to control your legislative [10:34.380 --> 10:37.380] government? [10:37.380 --> 10:41.820] Then if you can't control your municipalities because they're all willing to sell you out [10:41.820 --> 10:49.060] and use the police force as the armed enforcer for what they want versus what we want, what [10:49.060 --> 10:50.660] do we do then? [10:50.660 --> 10:54.740] How do we deal with that? [10:54.740 --> 11:01.380] It really becomes an issue of no matter how you want to do this, the local level is where [11:01.380 --> 11:04.260] it's got to start. [11:04.260 --> 11:10.060] Without doing the things at the local level, we can't control the next level up. [11:10.060 --> 11:15.460] It will try to function without any input from the lower level just by taking what it [11:15.460 --> 11:18.340] wants at that level. [11:18.340 --> 11:25.060] So the lower level has the guts to resist and cut it off. [11:25.060 --> 11:31.620] Could the legislature pass laws to do certain things if it didn't have the money because [11:31.620 --> 11:37.780] the county governments refused to pay it if the state government was going to use it in [11:37.780 --> 11:41.580] a manner that oppressed the people? [11:41.580 --> 11:46.980] The counties will say not only no, but hell no, we're not giving you another dime. [11:46.980 --> 11:52.820] All you're using it for is to oppress what we need for our people to get what you want [11:52.820 --> 11:59.100] out of your little power play so you can satisfy the federal government. [11:59.100 --> 12:03.500] Now the federal government buys off the state government with the promise of federal funds, [12:03.500 --> 12:07.740] but the question is where does the federal government get the funds that it turns around [12:07.740 --> 12:13.020] and bribes the state with in the first place from the state? [12:13.020 --> 12:15.620] State pays a big portion of its money to the federal government. [12:15.620 --> 12:19.300] The federal government turns around and gives the state a kickback as long as it will do [12:19.300 --> 12:21.660] what the federal government wants. [12:21.660 --> 12:23.780] How stupid is that? [12:23.780 --> 12:27.860] How much easier would it be to run your own state if you just kept the dad-blame money [12:27.860 --> 12:32.180] in the first place and told the federal government to go jump in the lake? [12:32.180 --> 12:38.260] You don't need that money because you're using it in a manner that oppresses us as a state [12:38.260 --> 12:42.220] and we're not going to fund that kind of crap. [12:42.220 --> 12:45.580] So we're cutting you off, no more. [12:45.580 --> 12:51.660] If every state would do that, we would get control of the federal government again. [12:51.660 --> 12:57.700] Then if every county would do that, we would get control of the state government again. [12:57.700 --> 13:02.060] And then if the people stopped putting idiots in at the county level that wouldn't do what [13:02.060 --> 13:08.220] the people wanted, then we would be controlling that too. [13:08.220 --> 13:13.900] The worst thing in the world we can do is let these people spend a lifetime in these [13:13.900 --> 13:16.180] positions. [13:16.180 --> 13:18.780] That's the absolute worst thing we can do. [13:18.780 --> 13:24.420] Let somebody make a career out of government. [13:24.420 --> 13:28.380] Because as soon as they think they can go in there and do what they want for as long [13:28.380 --> 13:34.380] as they want, then that's exactly what they start to do. [13:34.380 --> 13:38.340] If you don't believe that, look around. [13:38.340 --> 13:40.500] We're going on what? [13:40.500 --> 13:46.700] 100 years of it right now. [13:46.700 --> 13:51.220] Once the government decides it's going to do what it wants and nobody below it does [13:51.220 --> 13:58.260] anything to control it at that level up, then that's exactly what it does. [13:58.260 --> 14:03.700] Welcome to the stock market crash and the Great Depression of the 20s. [14:03.700 --> 14:10.060] Welcome to the Declaratory War Powers Act. [14:10.060 --> 14:19.340] In the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s that has never been taken away that everybody's talking about. [14:19.340 --> 14:26.660] We're operating in a police state, folks, because we won't say no to the police state. [14:26.660 --> 14:29.900] We all simply say, help me, protect me. [14:29.900 --> 14:34.260] I don't want to have to do things for myself. [14:34.260 --> 14:40.020] I don't want to have to rely on my neighbor to back me up. [14:40.020 --> 14:42.980] I don't want to have to patrol my own neighborhood. [14:42.980 --> 14:46.380] I don't want to have to care about the people next door. [14:46.380 --> 14:52.140] I don't want to have to worry about whether or not my neighbor is being mud. [14:52.140 --> 14:53.860] That's somebody else's problem. [14:53.860 --> 14:58.820] It doesn't involve me, at least not until it's happening to you and then you're screaming [14:58.820 --> 15:03.420] to the top of your lungs wondering where all your help is. [15:03.420 --> 15:04.900] That's our problem, folks. [15:04.900 --> 15:09.860] We've become completely apathetic as a society and a nation. [15:09.860 --> 15:11.660] We really, really have. [15:11.660 --> 15:17.780] The biggest problem with that is it's 96.8% apathetic. [15:17.780 --> 15:24.220] We've really just stopped being Americans. [15:24.220 --> 15:31.020] We're not a welfare state because we give free everything to illegal aliens or people [15:31.020 --> 15:32.420] that don't want to work. [15:32.420 --> 15:39.820] Heck, the entire country's a freaking welfare state because they don't want to do for themselves. [15:39.820 --> 15:46.060] And the few people that actually try to go back to doing for themselves are frowned upon [15:46.060 --> 15:52.620] and they're called all kinds of names and they're hung with all kinds of titles that [15:52.620 --> 15:57.620] are meant to be derogatory and belittling. [15:57.620 --> 16:01.860] This is our fault, completely and entirely our fault. [16:01.860 --> 16:06.700] And as long as we sit back and rest on our laurels, we're going to keep getting our laurels [16:06.700 --> 16:11.580] handed to us. [16:11.580 --> 16:13.060] We've got to wake up, people. [16:13.060 --> 16:17.140] We really, really do because if we don't, it's over. [16:17.140 --> 16:21.700] The American dream is now the American nightmare and that's how it's going to stay. [16:21.700 --> 16:24.220] And nothing we do will change it. [16:24.220 --> 16:31.940] We used to be a nation of sovereign states and these states as a nation were looked up [16:31.940 --> 16:36.660] to by the rest of the world because of what it provided to its people and to their will [16:36.660 --> 16:41.700] and their way of life and we've let that just disappear. [16:41.700 --> 16:43.540] We need to change that. [16:43.540 --> 16:49.780] All right, Rob, I see you on the board there, 512-646-1984 is the call-in number. [16:49.780 --> 16:53.180] If you have any questions or issues, we'll be taking your call on the other side of the [16:53.180 --> 16:54.180] break. [16:54.180 --> 16:55.180] This is Rule of Law Radio. [16:55.180 --> 16:57.180] We will be right back. [16:57.180 --> 17:05.660] Capital Coin and Bullion is your local source for rare coins, precious metals and coin supplies [17:05.660 --> 17:07.620] in the Austin metro area. [17:07.620 --> 17:08.620] We also ship worldwide. [17:08.620 --> 17:13.260] We're a family-owned and operated business that offers competitive prices on your coin [17:13.260 --> 17:14.260] and metals purchases. [17:14.260 --> 17:19.180] Because of you, Austin, business has been so good that we've had to move to a new and [17:19.180 --> 17:20.180] bigger location.

[19:27.580 --> 19:54.300] Alright folks, we are back, this is rule of law radio 512-646-1984 is the call-in number. [19:54.300 --> 19:56.460] We are going to be taking your calls. [19:56.460 --> 19:59.740] Right now we do have a caller on the board, Rob in Mississippi. [19:59.740 --> 20:02.580] Good evening Rob, what can we do for you? [20:02.580 --> 20:04.820] Hey Eddie, how are you doing? [20:04.820 --> 20:07.820] I'm well so far so good I guess, and you? [20:07.820 --> 20:12.220] I'm well, hopefully I'm doing good, I'm fighting them. [20:12.220 --> 20:20.540] See, I called you Thursday, I was arrested last Monday while I was traveling in my automobile. [20:20.540 --> 20:30.180] I was arrested in the county I reside in, in Mississippi for, well I was initially stopped [20:30.180 --> 20:35.300] for traveling in an automobile with expired New Mexico plates. [20:35.300 --> 20:38.460] And you're in Mississippi, right? [20:38.460 --> 20:45.540] Right, I've been there about two and a half years now, and then I was arrested for refusing [20:45.540 --> 20:47.980] to answer their questions. [20:47.980 --> 20:55.340] They cited me for expired tags or no tags, no proof of insurance, and disturbing the [20:55.340 --> 21:00.060] peace disorderly conduct, disorderly conduct breach of peace. [21:00.060 --> 21:09.420] I went down on Friday to courthouse, checked everything in my file, there were two citations, [21:09.420 --> 21:17.180] one for no tags, one for no proof of insurance, nothing about the charge for which I was arrested, [21:17.180 --> 21:19.580] the disorderly conduct breach of peace. [21:19.580 --> 21:24.660] I asked the clerk if there was anything else in the file, if there was anything in the computer, [21:24.660 --> 21:31.180] I asked her if there was any mention of the breach of peace charge for which I was arrested. [21:31.180 --> 21:36.900] She said no, I got that all on recording. [21:36.900 --> 21:44.340] Now do I want to file, well I do want to file a notice of special appearance. [21:44.340 --> 21:49.420] Do I need to know that on all subsequent pleadings or do I just need to file that once? [21:49.420 --> 21:52.260] No, you need to do it on every pleading. [21:52.260 --> 21:58.860] Now the thing is, is most states do not recognize special appearance in a criminal case, only [21:58.860 --> 22:04.780] in civil, but I do it anyway. [22:04.780 --> 22:14.300] Now the thing is, if the complaint that they lodge against you actually cites no insurance, [22:14.300 --> 22:21.460] need the statutes in Mississippi really carefully, because it should say no proof of financial [22:21.460 --> 22:23.460] responsibility. [22:23.460 --> 22:29.540] If it limits the complaint strictly to no proof of insurance and the financial responsibility [22:29.540 --> 22:36.540] statutes allow there to be multiple ways to maintain that other than insurance, then [22:36.540 --> 22:40.220] the complaint is invalid on its face. [22:40.220 --> 22:48.100] They said you didn't have insurance when a self-bond or numerous other ways may be perfectly [22:48.100 --> 22:54.060] legal and those things were never asked for at the stop. [22:54.060 --> 22:59.380] They never asked for proof of insurance either, he just kept, well multiple deputies kept [22:59.380 --> 23:05.940] asking me, do you have insurance, do you have insurance, and I refused to answer the question [23:05.940 --> 23:10.980] which led to my arrest for his only conduct, reach a piece. [23:10.980 --> 23:15.660] Not answering their questions or refusing to incriminate yourself cannot be converted [23:15.660 --> 23:19.380] into a criminal act because it's an exercise of a right. [23:19.380 --> 23:27.060] Right, and I have, hopefully there's audio and video from the squad car of me standing [23:27.060 --> 23:31.940] there with my hand on the hood of the car and one of the deputies telling me directly [23:31.940 --> 23:36.140] that I will be arrested if I don't answer his question. [23:36.140 --> 23:44.700] Well, you've got a good case for going after them if that's what they did because arresting [23:44.700 --> 23:51.020] you for not answering questions, I'd like to see where the statute is on that please. [23:51.020 --> 23:58.140] Now, as far as obtaining that evidence, do I do that through discovery, subpoena, or [23:58.140 --> 23:59.140] correct question? [23:59.140 --> 24:04.860] You do it either through discovery or subpoena deusas tecum, depending upon how the court [24:04.860 --> 24:05.860] operates. [24:05.860 --> 24:06.860] Okay. [24:06.860 --> 24:13.420] All right, and then I've been listening to your archives, I've been listening to you [24:13.420 --> 24:20.540] since last fall, but I've been going down and going over all the podcasts. [24:20.540 --> 24:25.940] As far as, I heard you mention, I don't know if it's you or Deborah, but mentioned through [24:25.940 --> 24:33.940] the poison tree, is there any statute or case law to back that up? [24:33.940 --> 24:40.380] Well, there's tons of case law, that's where the nomenclature comes from fruit of the poison [24:40.380 --> 24:41.380] tree. [24:41.380 --> 24:44.580] It's called the fruit of the poison tree doctrine. [24:44.580 --> 24:51.140] Basically if the act perpetrated by the public servant was illegal, then everything that [24:51.140 --> 24:57.180] he did in relation to what he was doing was subsequently illegal as well. [24:57.180 --> 24:58.180] Okay, great. [24:58.180 --> 25:04.860] In other words, they can't violate a right or break the law as an excuse for enforcing [25:04.860 --> 25:05.860] the law. [25:05.860 --> 25:06.860] Excellent, excellent. [25:06.860 --> 25:16.540] Okay, and how much of a problem is it going to be for them if they don't bother to charge [25:16.540 --> 25:21.540] me with the offense that they actually arrested me for? [25:21.540 --> 25:25.740] Okay, say that one more time. [25:25.740 --> 25:29.460] How much of a problem is it going to be for them if they don't bother to charge me with [25:29.460 --> 25:32.180] the offense that they actually arrested me for? [25:32.180 --> 25:37.060] Well, they don't have to necessarily charge you with that offense if they can come up [25:37.060 --> 25:38.860] with a better one. [25:38.860 --> 25:42.500] Just like in a traffic case, they may have stopped you for speeding, but if they find [25:42.500 --> 25:46.500] the dead body in the back, they don't have to charge you with speeding, they just charge [25:46.500 --> 25:47.500] you with murder. [25:47.500 --> 25:53.500] But don't they still have to know that they stopped you for speeding or anything like [25:53.500 --> 25:54.500] that? [25:54.500 --> 26:01.420] Well, in their police report, they will state why they originally initiated the stop to [26:01.420 --> 26:08.740] begin with, but in terms of the arrest, they don't have to have anything in the case file [26:08.740 --> 26:10.380] about why. [26:10.380 --> 26:14.940] That does not have to be what they charge you with if they find something else to do [26:14.940 --> 26:15.940] so. [26:15.940 --> 26:16.940] No. [26:16.940 --> 26:17.940] Okay. [26:17.940 --> 26:23.740] Now, this is exactly why traffic stops are abused to begin with. [26:23.740 --> 26:28.340] They'll fabricate a pretense under a traffic stop even though none exists. [26:28.340 --> 26:29.860] They'll make one up. [26:29.860 --> 26:34.300] Right, like claiming a conviction over another state's registration. [26:34.300 --> 26:35.300] Yeah. [26:35.300 --> 26:41.260] Well, I mean, they'll say you failed to use a turn signal even though you did to initiate [26:41.260 --> 26:42.780] the traffic stop. [26:42.780 --> 26:46.820] They'll say that your brake lights weren't working even though they were. [26:46.820 --> 26:51.020] They'll say you weren't wearing your seatbelt even though you were. [26:51.020 --> 26:52.020] Yeah. [26:52.020 --> 26:56.660] Anything they want to do if they feel like they can find a way to stop you for some [26:56.660 --> 26:57.660] other purpose. [26:57.660 --> 26:58.660] Yeah. [26:58.660 --> 27:01.660] You know, that'll happen. [27:01.660 --> 27:09.540] Yeah, so I'm going back down tomorrow to check the file again and make sure they didn't [27:09.540 --> 27:11.900] add anything new. [27:11.900 --> 27:18.420] The next Thursday is my court date, which I'm guessing is probably going to be an attempt [27:18.420 --> 27:21.100] at an arraignment without an examining trial. [27:21.100 --> 27:24.500] So, we'll see what happens then. [27:24.500 --> 27:25.500] Yeah, possibly. [27:25.500 --> 27:29.620] I think I'm going to keep fighting them. [27:29.620 --> 27:30.620] All right. [27:30.620 --> 27:31.620] Well, thank you very much. [27:31.620 --> 27:32.620] You'll have a great night. [27:32.620 --> 27:33.620] I appreciate your help. [27:33.620 --> 27:34.620] Yes, sir. [27:34.620 --> 27:35.620] Thank you and you too. [27:35.620 --> 27:36.620] All right. [27:36.620 --> 27:37.620] Bye-bye. [27:37.620 --> 27:38.620] Bye-bye. [27:38.620 --> 27:39.620] All right, folks. [27:39.620 --> 27:40.620] Caller board appears to be empty. [27:40.620 --> 27:45.620] I did see an on-screen call, but it disappeared there real quick. [27:45.620 --> 27:51.620] 512-646-1984 is the call-in number. [27:51.620 --> 27:55.620] If you do have any questions or anything we can try to help you with, please give us a [27:55.620 --> 27:56.620] call. [27:56.620 --> 27:59.620] The only thing is, please don't call us with a mortgage question. [27:59.620 --> 28:06.260] That is not my forte, and Randy is not here on Monday nights, so please reserve those [28:06.260 --> 28:07.620] for Thursday or Friday. [28:07.620 --> 28:10.620] Otherwise, anything you got, I'll give it a shot. [28:10.620 --> 28:12.620] If I don't know, I'll tell you. [28:12.620 --> 28:13.620] Okay. [28:13.620 --> 28:18.620] Now, while we're waiting on someone else to get up on the call, there we go. [28:18.620 --> 28:22.180] Well, speak and you shall receive it will appear. [28:22.180 --> 28:23.620] We have Joseph in Indiana. [28:23.620 --> 28:26.620] Joseph, what can we do for you? [28:26.620 --> 28:30.620] Hi. I wanted to talk about a case, something that happened to me. [28:30.620 --> 28:36.620] I took a picture of a vehicle accident, and these police officers arrested me. [28:36.620 --> 28:41.620] First, they tried to accuse me of tampering with evidence. [28:41.620 --> 28:46.620] Well, there were three other people with me, no, four other people with me, and all of [28:46.620 --> 28:48.620] them said, I didn't touch nothing. [28:48.620 --> 28:50.620] The officers knew I didn't touch anything. [28:50.620 --> 28:52.620] They just wanted me to give them my camera. [28:52.620 --> 28:54.620] It was my cell phone. [28:54.620 --> 28:58.620] It was one of those smartphones, and I said, no, I'm not going to give you my camera. [28:58.620 --> 29:01.620] It contains lots and lots of files on it. [29:01.620 --> 29:02.620] It's like a computer. [29:02.620 --> 29:03.620] You have no right to it. [29:03.620 --> 29:06.620] I said, if you want a subpoena, I'll give it to you. [29:06.620 --> 29:12.620] Well, they charged me with disorderly conduct. [29:12.620 --> 29:18.620] They charged me with interfering with law enforcement, and then they charged me with [29:18.620 --> 29:23.620] what was the other charge, interfering with law enforcement and resisting law [29:23.620 --> 29:28.620] enforcement, which was actually two different charges. [29:28.620 --> 29:29.620] And I did nothing. [29:29.620 --> 29:31.620] And, of course, it was interesting. [29:31.620 --> 29:36.620] We went to court, and they went through the whole, you know, the vote years portion of [29:36.620 --> 29:37.620] it, trying to figure out. [29:37.620 --> 29:38.620] Okay, Joseph. [29:38.620 --> 29:39.620] Hang on just a second. [29:39.620 --> 29:40.620] We're about to go to break. [29:40.620 --> 29:41.620] We'll pick you up on the other side. [29:41.620 --> 29:42.620] Hang on just a second. [29:42.620 --> 29:43.620] Sure. [29:43.620 --> 29:44.620] All right, folks. [29:44.620 --> 29:48.620] This is Rule of Law Radio 512-646-1984. [29:48.620 --> 29:51.620] If you have a question or an issue, give us a call. [29:51.620 --> 29:55.620] We're going to go to break, and we'll be right back on the other side. [29:55.620 --> 30:24.620] All right, folks, hang in there, and we'll be right back. [30:25.620 --> 30:54.620] We'll be right back on the other side. [30:55.620 --> 30:57.620] So protect your rights. [30:57.620 --> 31:00.620] Say no to surveillance, and keep your information to yourself. [31:00.620 --> 31:01.620] Privacy. [31:01.620 --> 31:03.620] It's worth hanging on to. [31:03.620 --> 31:07.620] This public service announcement is brought to you by StartPage.com, the private search [31:07.620 --> 31:11.620] engine alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. [31:11.620 --> 31:14.620] Start over with StartPage. [31:14.620 --> 31:18.620] The world's population is graying, and Accenture plans to cash in. [31:18.620 --> 31:23.620] It's hoping we'll farm out care for senior citizens to high-tech contraptions like its [31:23.620 --> 31:24.620] caring houseplant. [31:24.620 --> 31:29.620] The company boasts that the caring plant listens as an elderly person talks to himself or someone [31:29.620 --> 31:34.620] else and provides on-site, round-the-clock monitoring, serving as the eyes and ears of [31:34.620 --> 31:35.620] caregivers. [31:35.620 --> 31:36.620] Yikes. [31:36.620 --> 31:40.620] Cameras, microphones, and tracking devices are no substitute for human care and contact. [31:40.620 --> 31:43.620] The elderly need our compassion, and they need dignity. [31:43.620 --> 31:48.620] No one deserves to be spied on by a houseplant or relegated to the hollow companionship of [31:48.620 --> 31:49.620] a machine. [31:49.620 --> 31:56.620] Under Catherine Albrecht, more news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [32:19.620 --> 32:37.620] All right, folks, we are back. [32:37.620 --> 32:43.620] This is Rural Law Radio 512-646-1984 is the call-in number. [32:43.620 --> 32:46.620] Right now, we are going to finish up with Joseph and Indiana. [32:46.620 --> 32:51.620] All right, Joseph, you said the police officers accosted you and arrested you for interfering [32:51.620 --> 32:56.620] when you took photographs with your cell phone of a traffic accident. [32:56.620 --> 32:57.620] Correct. [32:57.620 --> 33:00.620] Did they ask you to provide them with copies of the photos? [33:00.620 --> 33:05.620] I mean, how did they come to the conclusion that you were somehow interfering with what [33:05.620 --> 33:06.620] they were doing? [33:06.620 --> 33:11.620] Well, it happened in Valparaiso, Indiana, and what the officer said to me is he said, [33:11.620 --> 33:16.620] I'm not going to allow you to put this blank on YouTube. [33:16.620 --> 33:20.620] And I said, you know, with all due respect, it's not your job to police YouTube. [33:20.620 --> 33:22.620] You know, I said, I took a picture. [33:22.620 --> 33:26.620] If you want it, I said, you can subpoena it. [33:26.620 --> 33:32.620] If you want to seize the phone, I said, I'm not going to resist, forcibly resist any [33:32.620 --> 33:33.620] seizure. [33:33.620 --> 33:35.620] I said, but you'll have to answer for the seizure. [33:35.620 --> 33:38.620] He says, well, we're going to charge you with tampering with evidence. [33:38.620 --> 33:41.620] You know, I didn't tamper. I got pictures right here that'll show I didn't tamper [33:41.620 --> 33:42.620] with anything. [33:42.620 --> 33:43.620] You know, he didn't care. [33:43.620 --> 33:47.620] He said he wanted to see my cell phone and have me surrender it to him. [33:47.620 --> 33:49.620] And I said, I'm not voluntarily doing anything. [33:49.620 --> 33:52.620] Whatever you do, it's being done against my will. [33:52.620 --> 33:57.620] Well, for that, they charged me with resisting law enforcement. [33:57.620 --> 34:01.620] Of course, the charges ended up being thrown out, but I mean, it was a three-day [34:01.620 --> 34:02.620] trial and they had. [34:02.620 --> 34:04.620] And you haven't sued them yet? [34:04.620 --> 34:08.620] But you know what? I tried to sue them in court and I couldn't find one lawyer who [34:08.620 --> 34:10.620] I mean, the whole system set up against people. [34:10.620 --> 34:12.620] No, you'd have to do it yourself. [34:12.620 --> 34:13.620] You'd have to do it yourself. [34:13.620 --> 34:16.620] Joseph, did they ever take your phone? [34:16.620 --> 34:17.620] Yes, they did. [34:17.620 --> 34:18.620] They held onto it for a year. [34:18.620 --> 34:20.620] They held your phone for a year? [34:20.620 --> 34:21.620] Did they delete the pictures? [34:21.620 --> 34:25.620] And then they said that they needed the pictures because it was assisting them in [34:25.620 --> 34:26.620] their investigation. [34:26.620 --> 34:27.620] Oh, my gosh. [34:27.620 --> 34:28.620] So did they? [34:28.620 --> 34:33.620] They had three evidence technicians taking pictures with $1,000 cameras. [34:33.620 --> 34:37.620] They needed my picture on my cell phone in Valparaiso, Indiana. [34:37.620 --> 34:40.620] Did they take your phone at the time? [34:40.620 --> 34:42.620] Yes, they did. [34:42.620 --> 34:43.620] And then they arrested me. [34:43.620 --> 34:48.620] Like I said, they smashed my hands with handcuffs and I was begging them for a half [34:48.620 --> 34:52.620] an hour, but my wrist were bruised for three weeks. [34:52.620 --> 34:57.620] And you know, after they crushed my wrist with handcuffs, they go, oh, our officers [34:57.620 --> 34:58.620] would never do that. [34:58.620 --> 35:00.620] I just can't believe that. [35:00.620 --> 35:04.620] You know, and then they arrested me and it was really funny because one of the things [35:04.620 --> 35:10.620] I was really telling is they were looking for people who were totally ignorant of the [35:10.620 --> 35:12.620] Constitution to sit on a jury. [35:12.620 --> 35:17.620] And when they were going through the Vodir, one of the individuals, he said, they asked [35:17.620 --> 35:21.620] all the other people and everybody said, well, I would just have gave it to them. [35:21.620 --> 35:23.620] And that was part of the question that they asked. [35:23.620 --> 35:25.620] If they asked for you, would you just give it to them? [35:25.620 --> 35:31.620] And there was a gentleman who was a pharmacist from Nigeria who said, who had just gotten [35:31.620 --> 35:32.620] a citizenship. [35:32.620 --> 35:35.620] And he said, no, I totally understand the U.S. Constitution. [35:35.620 --> 35:38.620] He says he has no right to seize our property. [35:38.620 --> 35:39.620] Well, guess what? [35:39.620 --> 35:43.620] The prosecution said, no, we want that guy off the jury. [35:43.620 --> 35:49.620] So one guy knew that the Constitution was the guy that they did not want on a jury. [35:49.620 --> 35:50.620] Well, absolutely. [35:50.620 --> 35:55.620] They knew they didn't have a case if anybody did understand the Constitution. [35:55.620 --> 35:56.620] Right. [35:56.620 --> 35:59.620] And so it ended up being a really horrible thing. [35:59.620 --> 36:01.620] It cost $3,000. [36:01.620 --> 36:08.620] And the police just lied and then they separated the witnesses, of course, because they didn't [36:08.620 --> 36:14.620] want, there were four people there, and they didn't want the other people to see how much [36:14.620 --> 36:17.620] the police were willing to perjure themselves. [36:17.620 --> 36:20.620] And the police had claimed that I had ran away. [36:20.620 --> 36:24.620] And the funny thing was, the evidence technicians, when they saw me there, they started taking [36:24.620 --> 36:26.620] pictures and video of me. [36:26.620 --> 36:30.620] And so these police who had claimed that I had ran away and that they were in hot pursuit, [36:30.620 --> 36:35.620] there was a picture of me standing 10 feet away from the car being handcuffed. [36:35.620 --> 36:38.620] And I'm like, so when did I run away from the police? [36:38.620 --> 36:44.620] But of course, you know, the jury or the witnesses don't get to go up there and say, these police [36:44.620 --> 36:48.620] are committing perjury and they don't even want the police to know that, or the people [36:48.620 --> 36:50.620] to know that the police are committing perjury. [36:50.620 --> 36:52.620] So they separate all the witnesses. [36:52.620 --> 36:55.620] So the only people that really ever get to hear the truth is the jurors. [36:55.620 --> 37:00.620] But it would be nice if the other people involved in the case got to see how much police regularly [37:00.620 --> 37:02.620] lie and commit perjury. [37:02.620 --> 37:04.620] And even when it's proven, they... [37:04.620 --> 37:06.620] Did you have a defense attorney? [37:06.620 --> 37:07.620] Nothing. [37:07.620 --> 37:09.620] Did you have a defense attorney? [37:09.620 --> 37:11.620] Because I had a jury attorney. [37:11.620 --> 37:12.620] You did or you didn't? [37:12.620 --> 37:14.620] No, I had a jury. [37:14.620 --> 37:16.620] I hired my own attorney and I had a jury attorney. [37:16.620 --> 37:17.620] Okay. [37:17.620 --> 37:21.620] Why didn't your attorney object and charge them with perjury on the stand? [37:21.620 --> 37:24.620] That's perfectly within the mandate of his authority. [37:24.620 --> 37:25.620] Right. [37:25.620 --> 37:30.620] When he's asking them questions that he knows there's evidence that contradicts it and proves [37:30.620 --> 37:38.620] the testimony to be false, he has every right to move the court to hold the witness for [37:38.620 --> 37:39.620] the charge of perjury. [37:39.620 --> 37:41.620] He has every ability to do that. [37:41.620 --> 37:44.620] Because it's just a big money scam. [37:44.620 --> 37:46.620] I mean, everybody's there to steal money. [37:46.620 --> 37:51.620] Well, that's why people need to do things pro-sec. [37:51.620 --> 37:54.620] This is why we have to not use attorneys at all. [37:54.620 --> 37:59.620] If we're a defendant, we have to learn how to be our own attorney. [37:59.620 --> 38:04.620] If we want to file a lawsuit and sue somebody, we have to do it ourselves. [38:04.620 --> 38:07.620] That's what this show is about, teaching people how to do it yourself. [38:07.620 --> 38:11.620] Because every time an attorney gets involved, it just all goes downhill. [38:11.620 --> 38:15.620] Well, then they turn around and try to get everything thrown into federal court, which [38:15.620 --> 38:16.620] is much more difficult to sue. [38:16.620 --> 38:21.620] In fact, a lot of attorneys are like, I won't touch anything that's going to federal court. [38:21.620 --> 38:24.620] That involves, like, a 1984-type lawsuit. [38:24.620 --> 38:28.620] That's cause most of them can't practice in federal court. [38:28.620 --> 38:29.620] Yeah. [38:29.620 --> 38:31.620] You have to be licensed to practice in federal court. [38:31.620 --> 38:34.620] Actually, I found that lawsuits in federal court are much easier. [38:34.620 --> 38:39.620] Really, that's interesting because they all claimed, oh, we can't do this because if we [38:39.620 --> 38:43.620] do it, you know, the judge just looks for one little error and the judges will throw [38:43.620 --> 38:44.620] these right out. [38:44.620 --> 38:48.620] Now, I know it's a big scan because what they don't want to do is, you know, they want [38:48.620 --> 38:52.620] to have good relations with the prosecution, with the prosecutor's office, you know, so [38:52.620 --> 38:56.620] that basically if somebody pays them a lot of money to get out of a charge, oh, come [38:56.620 --> 38:57.620] on, here's my client. [38:57.620 --> 39:00.620] Well, Joseph, listen, how can we help you tonight? [39:00.620 --> 39:06.620] Are you wanting to turn around and sue these police or the police departments? [39:06.620 --> 39:08.620] Is that what's going on here? [39:08.620 --> 39:12.620] I would love to, but I think we're already passed the statute for that. [39:12.620 --> 39:14.620] How long ago did this happen? [39:14.620 --> 39:16.620] It happened a couple years ago. [39:16.620 --> 39:19.620] Well, sometimes the statute of limitation is a year. [39:19.620 --> 39:20.620] Sometimes it's two years. [39:20.620 --> 39:24.620] Well, what kind of remedy are you looking for at this point? [39:24.620 --> 39:29.620] Well, at this point, I just want people to understand that the police commit perjury [39:29.620 --> 39:30.620] all the time. [39:30.620 --> 39:33.620] It's covered up by the judges. [39:33.620 --> 39:35.620] And, you know, that... [39:35.620 --> 39:40.620] I definitely think that on this show, you're preaching to the choir out there and listening [39:40.620 --> 39:41.620] to me. [39:41.620 --> 39:42.620] Yeah, and you need to... [39:42.620 --> 39:43.620] And you need to... [39:43.620 --> 39:47.620] If you're going to have an attorney, you have to learn how to control your attorney. [39:47.620 --> 39:49.620] And Jurisdictionary is... [39:49.620 --> 39:53.620] I would highly recommend that course for people, whether you have an attorney or not. [39:53.620 --> 39:58.620] It will teach you how to deal with suits, prosa, or if you have an attorney, it'll teach [39:58.620 --> 40:00.620] you how to control your attorney. [40:00.620 --> 40:06.620] I mean, for me, if I had a defense attorney and that defense attorney was not making objections [40:06.620 --> 40:12.620] and charging these officers with perjury on the witness stand at the time during the trial, [40:12.620 --> 40:16.620] I would be implementing remedies against the defense attorney. [40:16.620 --> 40:19.620] I'd be suing that defense attorney for malpractice. [40:19.620 --> 40:21.620] I'd be filing bar grievances. [40:21.620 --> 40:25.620] I would be nudging him or her in the side with my elbow and saying, [40:25.620 --> 40:28.620] You better make some objections here. [40:28.620 --> 40:33.620] You better start charging these guys with perjury right now or I am going to sue your [40:33.620 --> 40:37.620] butt myself for malpractice and start filing bar grievances against you. [40:37.620 --> 40:38.620] Do you understand me? [40:38.620 --> 40:40.620] You have to take control of your attorney. [40:40.620 --> 40:44.620] And so, yeah, that's the bottom line here. [40:44.620 --> 40:46.620] You have to take control of your case. [40:46.620 --> 40:49.620] Even if you have an attorney, you can't just rely on the attorney. [40:49.620 --> 40:53.620] You have to take personal responsibility for these situations, whether you're the defendant [40:53.620 --> 40:54.620] or the plaintiff. [40:54.620 --> 40:55.620] Yes. [40:55.620 --> 40:58.620] And then the other thing that was that they really gave me a hard time a lot is they said, [40:58.620 --> 40:59.620] Well, you know what? [40:59.620 --> 41:05.620] This case would take up so much of our time that we would have, you know, $10,000 into [41:05.620 --> 41:06.620] it. [41:06.620 --> 41:11.620] So if you were to get a $30,000 settlement, you know, we're just going to get the $10,000 [41:11.620 --> 41:13.620] that we put into it. [41:13.620 --> 41:14.620] So what? [41:14.620 --> 41:17.620] Well, what they're saying is, you know, they're looking for easy cases. [41:17.620 --> 41:23.620] They want a case where they go in for some kind of injury and they get a settlement from [41:23.620 --> 41:26.620] some insurance company for $100,000. [41:26.620 --> 41:30.620] And they, you know, just because they filed and then they walk away with it. [41:30.620 --> 41:35.620] Well, Joseph, that's why you have to learn how to sue on your own as a pro-sac. [41:35.620 --> 41:40.620] You can't depend on these attorneys to take lawsuits for you when you're the plaintiff, [41:40.620 --> 41:42.620] especially when you're the plaintiff. [41:42.620 --> 41:45.620] You have to learn how to do these things yourself. [41:45.620 --> 41:47.620] And that's what jurisdictionary is for. [41:47.620 --> 41:51.620] And when you're the defendant, if you have a defense attorney, whether you've hired [41:51.620 --> 41:55.620] it or whether you hired him or her, whether it's court-pointed, you have to learn how [41:55.620 --> 41:56.620] to control the attorney. [41:56.620 --> 41:58.620] You have to learn how to control your attorneys. [41:58.620 --> 42:03.620] And if you can't find an attorney to take the case, then you've got to sue yourself. [42:03.620 --> 42:05.620] We have to learn how to do these things ourselves. [42:05.620 --> 42:06.620] It's the only way. [42:06.620 --> 42:07.620] You know, and it was interesting. [42:07.620 --> 42:10.620] So I just got done listening to Ron Paul. [42:10.620 --> 42:17.620] And he said that for nonviolent marijuana users, especially for ones that have, you know, [42:17.620 --> 42:25.620] tested using marijuana for medicinal purposes, that, you know, he would not be against just [42:25.620 --> 42:28.620] granting a blanket pardon for all those types of individuals. [42:28.620 --> 42:33.620] And, you know, I want readers or your listeners to know this and keep going for Ron Paul. [42:33.620 --> 42:34.620] Yes. [42:34.620 --> 42:35.620] Of course, yeah. [42:35.620 --> 42:37.620] You're absolutely preaching to the choir here, Joseph. [42:37.620 --> 42:39.620] Everyone around here loves Ron Paul. [42:39.620 --> 42:46.620] Yeah, we've already been, we've organized from years past, you know, to support him when [42:46.620 --> 42:49.620] he ran for president four years ago. [42:49.620 --> 42:50.620] So, yeah, absolutely. [42:50.620 --> 42:52.620] And he's a libertarian at heart. [42:52.620 --> 42:57.620] And he understands that that prohibition is what causes all the problems. [42:57.620 --> 43:03.620] It's the prohibition that causes the black market and the violence and everything. [43:03.620 --> 43:05.620] And it fixes the market. [43:05.620 --> 43:06.620] Yes. [43:06.620 --> 43:11.620] So it's a prohibition is what creates the black market and creates all the crime and creates [43:11.620 --> 43:13.620] all the violence and the problems. [43:13.620 --> 43:17.620] And that's where he's coming from when he talks about that sort of thing. [43:17.620 --> 43:18.620] Sure. [43:18.620 --> 43:19.620] All right. [43:19.620 --> 43:20.620] Well, thank you very much, Joseph. [43:20.620 --> 43:21.620] All right, thank you. [43:21.620 --> 43:22.620] All right. [43:22.620 --> 43:25.620] And listen, next time something like this happens to you, you need to get on the horn to us [43:25.620 --> 43:31.620] and you need to get jurisdictionary and take control of the situation yourself before statute [43:31.620 --> 43:33.620] of limitations runs out, okay? [43:33.620 --> 43:34.620] Yep, thank you. [43:34.620 --> 43:35.620] All right. [43:35.620 --> 43:36.620] Thank you. [43:36.620 --> 43:37.620] All right. [43:37.620 --> 43:39.620] When we get back on the other side, we're going to go to Allen in Texas. [43:39.620 --> 43:41.620] We've got Mitchell from Texas and more. [43:41.620 --> 43:46.620] Callers, if you'd like to call in 512-646-1984. [43:46.620 --> 43:48.620] It is Monday, June 6th, 2011. [43:48.620 --> 43:50.620] We are taking your calls. [43:50.620 --> 44:19.620] I'm Deborah Stevens here with Eddie Craig and we will be right back after this short break. [44:21.620 --> 44:22.620] Let's go. [44:22.620 --> 44:23.620] All right. [44:23.620 --> 44:24.620] All right. [44:24.620 --> 44:25.620] Let's go. [44:25.620 --> 44:31.020] that exists. Go check it out for yourself. It's downtown at 1904 Guadalupe Street just [44:31.020 --> 44:37.020] south of UT. Aw, by UT, there's never anywhere to park down there. Actually, they now offer [44:37.020 --> 44:42.380] a free hour of parking for paying customers at the 500 MLK parking facility just behind [44:42.380 --> 44:49.060] the bookstore. It does exist, but when are they open? Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. [44:49.060 --> 44:56.340] to 9 p.m. and 1-6 p.m. on Sundays. So give them a call at 512-480-2503 or check out their [44:56.340 --> 45:04.260] events page at bravenewbookstore.com. It is so enlightening to listen to 90.1 FM, but finding [45:04.260 --> 45:08.780] things on the Internet isn't so easy, and neither is finding like-minded people to share [45:08.780 --> 45:14.180] it with. Oh, well, I guess you haven't heard of Brave New Books then. Brave New Books? Yes, [45:14.180 --> 45:18.660] Brave New Books has all the books and DVDs you're looking for by authors like Alex Jones, [45:18.660 --> 45:23.420] Ron Paul, and G. Edward Griffin. They even stock inner food, Berkey products, and Calvin [45:23.420 --> 45:29.100] Soaps. There's no way a place like that exists. Go check it out for yourself. It's downtown [45:29.100 --> 45:35.260] at 1904 Guadalupe Street just south of UT. Aw, by UT, there's never anywhere to park [45:35.260 --> 45:39.940] down there. Actually, they now offer a free hour of parking for paying customers at the [45:39.940 --> 45:47.620] 500 MLK parking facility just behind the bookstore. It does exist, but when are they open? Monday [45:47.620 --> 45:52.900] through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and 1 to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

We're taking your calls 512-646-1984. Got some callers [46:33.860 --> 46:40.060] on the line. We are talking now to Alan in Texas. Alan, thank you for calling. What is [46:40.060 --> 46:49.860] your question for us tonight? Hi, thank you for taking my call. Well, I'm a cab driver [46:49.860 --> 46:57.500] in Austin, Texas. I have a problem with this grand transportation, which recently, as far [46:57.500 --> 47:05.180] as about a couple of months ago, they hire some staff that they go out and check the [47:05.180 --> 47:13.700] cabs and this and that, you know, and write a ticket. This person stopped me at the six [47:13.700 --> 47:20.140] enterprises, actually, come in front of my car, and stopped me, and then said, grand [47:20.140 --> 47:30.660] transportation, and said, okay. And then he looked inside my car. My ID was not displayed [47:30.660 --> 47:35.900] there because I was not working. You know, I see the ordinance says when you're not working, [47:35.900 --> 47:42.140] you know, you're not on duty. It doesn't have to be displayed. Anyway, he wrote me a ticket [47:42.140 --> 47:51.740] for failure to display a chauffeur license, actually call it a chauffeur driver card. [47:51.740 --> 47:57.460] Anyway, this money was arriving the ticket. They opened the folder that on one side was [47:57.460 --> 48:04.100] already a ticket written as a sample. He was looking in that one and right on the blank [48:04.100 --> 48:09.980] one, my ticket. And I said, well, I don't have to have it there when I'm not working. [48:09.980 --> 48:16.420] I'm eating. I'm off duty. I'm not on duty. You know, that thing has to be there all the [48:16.420 --> 48:22.380] time. Anyway, he wrote me the ticket and I went. The ticket said display, failure to [48:22.380 --> 48:29.020] display the driver's card. So I went, please not guilty. I'm please not guilty. They look [48:29.020 --> 48:38.780] at the code and the code says this code that he has his own ticket. It calls for not having [48:38.780 --> 48:46.300] valid chauffeur license. And I have the proof. They give me those paperwork. Anyway, I said, [48:46.300 --> 48:52.660] well, that's good. You know, I can have it dismissed no time, no problem. I left and [48:52.660 --> 49:02.380] then I came back on the 2nd of May and then they said, well, I'll make a mistake. We [49:02.380 --> 49:08.500] cannot have a hearing on the afternoon for grand transportation is done on the morning, [49:08.500 --> 49:13.980] in the morning. So they put it on for the 18th. At that time, I asked for the complaint. [49:13.980 --> 49:22.060] The complaint says also the same thing. Failure to, no, I'm sorry, that they're not having [49:22.060 --> 49:28.380] a chauffeur, valid chauffeur permit, which I do anyway. So on the 18th, I came back in [49:28.380 --> 49:36.260] on the court hearing and they called my name and they said that this is a criminal offense [49:36.260 --> 49:45.380] punishable by fine, not by jail. Anyway, the judge said that and then the prosecutor [49:45.380 --> 49:51.260] supposed to help me. They called my name. I went there on the table and sit down and [49:51.260 --> 49:58.100] I started discussing the things on the ticket, you know, that is wrong. As far as I know [49:58.100 --> 50:04.420] about the law this much, that when there is something wrong in the ticket, you know, [50:04.420 --> 50:09.740] in the business. Well, now, when you say there's something wrong on the ticket, the ticket [50:09.740 --> 50:16.780] charged you for not displaying the license or did it charge you with not having a license? [50:16.780 --> 50:27.020] No. Failure to display. Okay. So in the court case, in the complaint, what did the complaint [50:27.020 --> 50:35.860] charge you with? The complaint won't charge me, the first one, but not having a valid [50:35.860 --> 50:41.100] chauffeur permit. That day when I explained to him, I'm going to change that, you know, [50:41.100 --> 50:47.260] I said, well, you cannot do that. You know, I was hoping to dismiss it, you know, so no, [50:47.260 --> 50:53.380] I'm going to change it. And he changed it. I gave me another complaint saying not having, [50:53.380 --> 51:02.300] I mean, stay there to display. Anyway, he got a little bit kind of talking to him and [51:02.300 --> 51:06.860] telling him to dismiss it. He said, no, I'm not going to dismiss it. I said, can I see [51:06.860 --> 51:12.740] the judge? No, you cannot see the judge. I mean, very rude, very rude. Who are you talking [51:12.740 --> 51:19.220] to at the time? This time to the prosecutor. Oh, no, you never talked to the prosecutor. [51:19.220 --> 51:25.340] That was my mistake, right? Yeah, yeah. So they said it for later on, tell me when it's [51:25.340 --> 51:32.300] going to be in the court. And then what happened that I got called from them that, you know, [51:32.300 --> 51:39.260] it's set for the July 7th, right? And then with the new charge, what he did, I went to [51:39.260 --> 51:45.100] the window and also he gave me a printer of the new complaint that changed. Okay. And [51:45.100 --> 51:54.300] also, dismiss that case, not having a valid chauffeur license and refile, stay here to [51:54.300 --> 52:01.700] display the driver, I mean, chauffeur license. But I'm looking at the ticket. There is five [52:01.700 --> 52:06.460] mistakes in the ticket. One, you know, when it says the state of, I mean, the state and [52:06.460 --> 52:12.660] the license plate, it put where the state is 1111. I don't get it. What is it? Is it [52:12.660 --> 52:22.340] his shoe size? Is it IQ? I don't know. Then comes here. I guarantee you it's not his IQ. [52:22.340 --> 52:28.220] The call is wrong. And here comes, you know, what he signed, you know, for the officer [52:28.220 --> 52:36.660] or non peace officer, he signed for the officer. All these things is wrong. So from there when [52:36.660 --> 52:46.020] I see this prosecutor do me wrong, you know, and it was retaliatory toward me and vengeance [52:46.020 --> 52:54.860] and changing by changing that charge from no valid chauffeur permit to failure to display [52:54.860 --> 53:01.660] and refile. So I went straight, you know, to the grand transportation. I talked to the [53:01.660 --> 53:08.820] guys that boss that wrote me the ticket. All right, immediate supervisor. Well, you know, [53:08.820 --> 53:13.420] I find out about two, three weeks before he write me the ticket, he was hired. I also [53:13.420 --> 53:21.140] find out that he is husband of another woman that works there for years. You know, one [53:21.140 --> 53:31.980] thing I'm really wonder that how he got this job. Okay, because I feel there is a unfair [53:31.980 --> 53:40.780] hiring practice involved, you know, and also then I call the city manager as they give [53:40.780 --> 53:47.740] me the number. City manager, I couldn't talk to him and then the secretary answered and [53:47.740 --> 53:55.540] he then somebody from the grand transportation, like higher up on grand transportation called [53:55.540 --> 54:02.660] me that they need to talk to me and they said that, well, apparently this guy doesn't have [54:02.660 --> 54:08.980] experience, doesn't have enough training and all these things. Then also, from because [54:08.980 --> 54:18.500] I call the city manager's office, there is three things generated. One is it is an action [54:18.500 --> 54:23.660] form is going to call me with so far three weeks, then another one, the court is going [54:23.660 --> 54:31.740] to call me and then another one, the grand transportation that I am calling you. I said, [54:31.740 --> 54:37.540] okay, so I'm still waiting for citizen action for nobody, you know, calling yet. The court [54:37.540 --> 54:43.140] called me and told me the new date of the trial. Well, wait a minute, did they send [54:43.140 --> 54:50.100] you anything in writing about the new date of the trial? No, it's supposed to be sent. [54:50.100 --> 54:54.940] They have to send it to you in writing, phone calls don't count. Okay, so far haven't got [54:54.940 --> 55:01.660] it yet. Okay, so you have not gone to trial on this yet, correct? No, let me explain the [55:01.660 --> 55:12.460] main thing. That guy that wrote me the ticket in nine days, five times he stopped me again. [55:12.460 --> 55:17.700] Five more times he stopped you again in nine days? That's harassment. Yes, he comes over [55:17.700 --> 55:23.660] there, he knows who I am, he knows my cat, he knows what the situation is. He said, [55:23.660 --> 55:31.980] so far I should, but it's back there, it is gone, and two more days later, and then two [55:31.980 --> 55:36.580] more days later, and two more days later, and two more days later, and two more days [55:36.580 --> 55:44.620] later. Has he given you any other tickets? No, no, okay, please tell me that you've [55:44.620 --> 55:52.380] invested in a digital recorder and you take it with you everywhere you go. I haven't, I [55:52.380 --> 55:57.860] don't have it. I didn't reach for anything. It's time to start. You need to start recording [55:57.860 --> 56:02.500] all of these interactions, this is ridiculous. Okay, I went, you know, I said I want this [56:02.500 --> 56:08.700] case to be dismissed, that prosecutor is retaliating, and then the other is the guy, according to [56:08.700 --> 56:13.860] your own self, he is wrong, he shouldn't have done that, he doesn't have experience, you [56:13.860 --> 56:19.980] know, and he's not a police officer, he's not a piece of, same way that he cannot, he [56:19.980 --> 56:29.220] cannot carry gun, he cannot get in the criminal case. Is this a meter maid? I'm sorry? Is [56:29.220 --> 56:37.460] this a meter maid? What is meter maid? Does he work as an Austin police officer, or is [56:37.460 --> 56:43.380] he specially hired to do the traffic meters and stuff? No, he's not, he's neither. It's [56:43.380 --> 56:50.860] just come and say, grand transportation, he drives the car and says, so he's in a civilian [56:50.860 --> 56:56.140] job? It's a civilian job, right? He's not a police officer? No, he's not police officer. [56:56.140 --> 57:02.140] Oh my goodness. I told to the manager, his manager, and also I told to the higher guy [57:02.140 --> 57:08.300] that called me, let's say he's above everybody, if he come to me this time again, I'm going [57:08.300 --> 57:14.260] to call cops on him because I'm tired of it. I don't see how this guy has the authority [57:14.260 --> 57:20.340] to even write you a ticket if he's not a police officer. Exactly, that's what I am fighting [57:20.340 --> 57:28.940] because he does not have no credential of a criminology, he doesn't know a word, he was [57:28.940 --> 57:35.580] a limo driver before he got hired because his wife works over there. Well, even if he has [57:35.580 --> 57:39.420] this knowledge of criminology, it doesn't matter, he still has no authority, he's not [57:39.420 --> 57:45.580] a police officer. Well, they say that the city manager, a question that the city manager [57:45.580 --> 57:53.700] authorized them to write tickets. What, yeah, but the problem is, is what law is he attempting [57:53.700 --> 58:00.060] to enforce by the writing of these tickets? If he is attempting to enforce state law of [58:00.060 --> 58:07.180] some kind, he is way outside of his ability to do that. Well, his appeal is that law is [58:07.180 --> 58:12.220] city ordinance. He's trying to enforce a city ordinance? Right, and according to the [58:12.220 --> 58:18.060] city ordinance that I pulled it off, that's counteract, when I'm not on duty, you know, [58:18.060 --> 58:22.260] I don't have to display. Okay, well, wait a minute, there's other issues at stake here, [58:22.260 --> 58:28.380] Alan. If the city ordinance is not based on state law, it's invalid anyway, but we'll [58:28.380 --> 58:34.180] get some more into that on the other side. Alan, stay right there. Very interesting case. [58:34.180 --> 58:36.700] Good for you. You keep fighting this, but stay right there. We're going to help you [58:36.700 --> 58:40.860] some more on the other side. When we get back, folks, we're going to continue to talk to [58:40.860 --> 58:46.460] Alan in Texas. Good for him. He's fighting the good fight. And we've also got Mitchell [58:46.460 --> 58:50.100] right after that. Mitchell, just stay right there. We've got Georgia from Texas after [58:50.100 --> 58:54.700] that and then Rick from California.

[01:00:04.380 --> 01:00:10.580] WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claimed this week the FBI had tried to bribe his organization [01:00:10.580 --> 01:00:15.700] staff. Assange also pointed out there was no evidence anyone had lost their life as [01:00:15.700 --> 01:00:20.860] a result of WikiLeaks disclosures despite U.S. government warnings. But indicated opening [01:00:20.860 --> 01:00:25.700] up societies around the world may mean fatalities or a price worth paying. [01:00:25.700 --> 01:00:31.460] A new report from the International Energy Agency says greenhouse gas emissions have [01:00:31.460 --> 01:00:38.140] hit record highs. The IEA's report said energy related carbon emissions last year topped [01:00:38.140 --> 01:00:44.540] 30 billion tons, 5% more than the previous record in 2008. With energy investments locked [01:00:44.540 --> 01:00:50.300] into coal and oil-fueled infrastructure, the IEA expects the situation will change little [01:00:50.300 --> 01:00:52.100] over the next decade. [01:00:52.100 --> 01:00:58.620] Sudan rejected a call Monday by the UN Security Council to withdraw its forces from the contested [01:00:58.620 --> 01:01:04.420] town of Abiyay. The seizure of Abiyay has displaced 80,000 civilians and comes just [01:01:04.420 --> 01:01:10.540] weeks before South Sudan becomes an independent nation July 9 following decades of armed struggle [01:01:10.540 --> 01:01:16.100] against the North in which an estimated 2 million seveners died. [01:01:16.100 --> 01:01:20.980] Workers with Tokyo Electric Power Company are struggling to pump more than 100,000 tons [01:01:20.980 --> 01:01:26.140] of water that is collected under the Fukushima nuclear power plant into temporary storage [01:01:26.140 --> 01:01:32.980] tanks. The company has warned a new inundation of radioactive water could occur by June 20 [01:01:32.980 --> 01:01:38.020] when temporary storage facilities reach their limits. The potential new leaks are the result [01:01:38.020 --> 01:01:43.660] of efforts to cool overheating reactors and spent nuclear fuel storage ponds. Leaks in [01:01:43.660 --> 01:01:49.500] reactor number two were plugged with a polymer and liquid glass, but nuclear physicist Nils [01:01:49.500 --> 01:01:54.380] Balmer said the polymer mixture was only a quick fix and that the plant's proximity [01:01:54.380 --> 01:01:59.900] to the ocean would mean containing contaminated water would be one of the most difficult tasks [01:01:59.900 --> 01:02:06.100] in bringing a crisis under control. New Yorkers Thursday voiced concern there'd [01:02:06.100 --> 01:02:11.620] be no way to evacuate 20 million people if an aging nuclear power plant located less [01:02:11.620 --> 01:02:17.060] than 24 miles from New York City suffered a meltdown. A packed meeting heard the Nuclear [01:02:17.060 --> 01:02:22.340] Regulatory Commission's safety report on the Indian Point nuclear power plant where reactor [01:02:22.340 --> 01:02:28.380] units two and three have been operating for 36 years. The plant operator Enter G wants [01:02:28.380 --> 01:02:34.540] to have the plant re-licensed to run for another 20 years. The NRC has never denied re-licensing [01:02:34.540 --> 01:02:39.660] and often grants safety exemptions in order to keep plants running. Indian Point has a [01:02:39.660 --> 01:02:44.940] history of mishaps with leaks of radioactive steam and water, faulty siren alarms and two [01:02:44.940 --> 01:02:51.460] fires since 2007. The NRC claims Indian Point is safe, but the New York Daily News revealed [01:02:51.460 --> 01:02:57.180] the plant lacks basic firefighting equipment such as sprinklers and automatic deluge water [01:02:57.180 --> 01:03:04.180] sprays for 72 percent of the plant. [01:03:04.180 --> 01:03:17.980] We are listening to the Rural Law Radio Network at RuralLawRadio.com. Live free speech talk [01:03:17.980 --> 01:03:27.980] radio at its best. [01:03:27.980 --> 01:03:35.980] It's all according to the will of the Almighty. [01:03:35.980 --> 01:04:00.460] We read his book, his book, we read his word and he says he cares not for the unsightly [01:04:00.460 --> 01:04:09.140] and these revenuers come by that name rightly. This is why big government is so dangerous [01:04:09.140 --> 01:04:15.420] folks because it breeds this kind of ilk. These people get attracted to these jobs for [01:04:15.420 --> 01:04:22.940] revenue and purposes for the government and it just breeds nothing but corruption and [01:04:22.940 --> 01:04:28.820] making their money, these career bureaucrats making their money off of the backs of the [01:04:28.820 --> 01:04:34.340] people with their taxes, their slave taxes and these traffic tickets and other tickets [01:04:34.340 --> 01:04:42.580] is just ridiculous. We've got to put a stop to it and Alan, big props to you and kudos [01:04:42.580 --> 01:04:47.140] for fighting these people. We have to fight this kind of fight. We've got to put a stop [01:04:47.140 --> 01:04:49.140] to this madness. [01:04:49.140 --> 01:04:56.300] We've got the meter made here, not a police officer writing a ticket to you for failure [01:04:56.300 --> 01:05:03.420] to display a chauffeur's license and he's harassed you five times in nine days. Now [01:05:03.420 --> 01:05:07.740] I'm assuming this is on foot that he approached your vehicle on foot while you were parked, [01:05:07.740 --> 01:05:08.740] is that correct? [01:05:08.740 --> 01:05:13.460] Exactly, he parked, he's caught behind the bushes or in the parking lot and then he [01:05:13.460 --> 01:05:14.460] approached me. [01:05:14.460 --> 01:05:18.900] Okay, you've got to start recording these interactions Alan, you've got to start. [01:05:18.900 --> 01:05:26.620] Once I talk to the city manager's office and some head dies of transportation, he has [01:05:26.620 --> 01:05:28.580] not even showed up here. [01:05:28.580 --> 01:05:32.620] Okay, well Alan, what I'm saying is you've got to start carrying around the little pocket [01:05:32.620 --> 01:05:39.180] recorder, a little MP3 recorder in your pocket and don't even let him see it, turn it on [01:05:39.180 --> 01:05:44.140] and when he approaches you, you turn that thing on so that you can record the conversation. [01:05:44.140 --> 01:05:50.660] I'm very confident that he's not approaching me because of all the connection that I made. [01:05:50.660 --> 01:05:54.380] Yeah, okay, well maybe he's not going to do it anymore but you still need to have something [01:05:54.380 --> 01:05:59.460] in your pocket to record any interaction in the future no matter what it may be. [01:05:59.460 --> 01:06:06.460] All right, now back to this city ordinance thing. So they're saying that you violated [01:06:06.460 --> 01:06:11.940] a city ordinance here by failure to display and Eddie and I were discussing on the break [01:06:11.940 --> 01:06:16.540] what city ordinance is this? Can you read us what's on the ticket? [01:06:16.540 --> 01:06:23.940] Okay, on the ticket failure to display driver's card, you know, he doesn't even know what [01:06:23.940 --> 01:06:28.220] that thing is called, a chauffeur permit in a chauffeur license. [01:06:28.220 --> 01:06:34.220] Okay, but did he list a specific city ordinance number that he's accusing you of violating? [01:06:34.220 --> 01:06:40.760] It is a code. I give that code to police department that comes to not having a valid [01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:43.860] chauffeur license. Is that code on the ticket? [01:06:43.860 --> 01:06:47.420] Yes. Okay, and it's a city ordinance code? [01:06:47.420 --> 01:06:52.460] It was supposed to be but it's wrong. It's a wrong number? [01:06:52.460 --> 01:06:54.940] Wrong number. Okay, then the ticket's invalid. Tell us [01:06:54.940 --> 01:06:57.380] what the number is so Eddie can look it up. [01:06:57.380 --> 01:07:03.340] I don't have the ticket with me right now but I can call you and give you. [01:07:03.340 --> 01:07:07.540] Okay, all right, so you're saying there's a city ordinance number on the ticket but [01:07:07.540 --> 01:07:10.100] when you looked it up it's the wrong one? [01:07:10.100 --> 01:07:15.140] According to the police officer, according to the police department, according to my [01:07:15.140 --> 01:07:22.340] complaint, you know, and then they changed that prosecutor on the retaliatory, you know, [01:07:22.340 --> 01:07:25.060] action, he changed it. [01:07:25.060 --> 01:07:27.620] Well they can't change the ticket once it's written. [01:07:27.620 --> 01:07:36.140] Well they dismissed that and then right before I refile another one with the correct code. [01:07:36.140 --> 01:07:40.900] Well they can't charge you under one thing and try you under something else. [01:07:40.900 --> 01:07:49.500] So the question becomes just exactly how and when did the prosecutor get the information [01:07:49.500 --> 01:07:52.900] and from who to change the original complaint? [01:07:52.900 --> 01:07:59.260] Yeah, from me, from me because, you know, I was being serious and honest and I was hoping [01:07:59.260 --> 01:08:02.220] because you was talking to the prosecutor Eddie, right? [01:08:02.220 --> 01:08:03.220] That's why that was a big mistake. [01:08:03.220 --> 01:08:10.380] I understand that but what I'm getting at here is the prosecutor, even though he admitted [01:08:10.380 --> 01:08:14.940] that you had the license because I'm presuming you took the license with you and showed it [01:08:14.940 --> 01:08:15.940] to him. [01:08:15.940 --> 01:08:16.940] Yes, sir. [01:08:16.940 --> 01:08:17.940] Yes, sir. [01:08:17.940 --> 01:08:22.220] Okay, so what he's trying to do is he's trying to continue with the prosecution by altering [01:08:22.220 --> 01:08:24.580] the charge. [01:08:24.580 --> 01:08:26.580] That's what he's trying to do. [01:08:26.580 --> 01:08:29.300] Yeah, he changed the charge. [01:08:29.300 --> 01:08:35.660] He changes what the ticket number is saying, the cost number is different, the code corrected, [01:08:35.660 --> 01:08:42.860] you know, but there is all other things wrong in the ticket too, like I explained, you know. [01:08:42.860 --> 01:08:49.140] You mentioned something about that the city ordinance is not an valid law to try me in [01:08:49.140 --> 01:08:50.140] the court. [01:08:50.140 --> 01:08:53.580] If it's not based on a state statute, it's not. [01:08:53.580 --> 01:08:54.580] Based on... [01:08:54.580 --> 01:08:59.220] Well, certain ones dealing with certain things within the city limits, there won't be a state [01:08:59.220 --> 01:09:03.300] statute other than giving them the authority to do it. [01:09:03.300 --> 01:09:09.900] But the issue here becomes you are a taxicab operating within the municipality, to your [01:09:09.900 --> 01:09:13.620] business, those will apply. [01:09:13.620 --> 01:09:17.900] So as a taxicab, those ordinances will apply. [01:09:17.900 --> 01:09:18.900] Okay. [01:09:18.900 --> 01:09:20.700] Now, you know the... [01:09:20.700 --> 01:09:21.700] But... [01:09:21.700 --> 01:09:22.700] I'm sorry? [01:09:22.700 --> 01:09:30.180] I told the guy who's the city manager and the guy in the grand transportation, this [01:09:30.180 --> 01:09:35.700] guy doesn't have any training, he just hired him and gave him a bunch of tickets and pensions [01:09:35.700 --> 01:09:36.700] to write tickets. [01:09:36.700 --> 01:09:38.180] It's all about making money. [01:09:38.180 --> 01:09:41.580] Go ahead, take all these tickets and make money. [01:09:41.580 --> 01:09:45.180] That's what I told him and that's what exactly he is. [01:09:45.180 --> 01:09:50.740] Yeah, well, that part we know, that's what they all are. [01:09:50.740 --> 01:09:54.420] But what we're looking at here is something slightly different. [01:09:54.420 --> 01:10:00.660] What we need you to do here, if you want this to work out, since you're involved in a commercial [01:10:00.660 --> 01:10:07.580] activity, they can do certain things, but they can't harass you and they cannot falsely [01:10:07.580 --> 01:10:09.900] charge you. [01:10:09.900 --> 01:10:17.700] So the issue becomes, is going to trial, improving this guy is incompetent at his job. [01:10:17.700 --> 01:10:21.620] You have evidence of that by what he put on the citation. [01:10:21.620 --> 01:10:26.500] You have evidence that the prosecutor attempted to cover up his mistake by changing the charge [01:10:26.500 --> 01:10:31.980] to something else after you produced evidence that the charge was false. [01:10:31.980 --> 01:10:39.540] The prosecutor took the initiative to change the charge and accuse you of something different. [01:10:39.540 --> 01:10:45.900] So the question becomes, who signed that new complaint? [01:10:45.900 --> 01:10:51.620] Who came in and put their signature on there that said you're guilty of not displaying [01:10:51.620 --> 01:10:57.620] the chauffeur's license versus the original citation which said you're guilty of not having [01:10:57.620 --> 01:10:58.620] it? [01:10:58.620 --> 01:10:59.620] Right. [01:10:59.620 --> 01:11:00.620] Who signed it? [01:11:00.620 --> 01:11:01.620] Where's the complaint? [01:11:01.620 --> 01:11:02.620] The court says that not. [01:11:02.620 --> 01:11:03.620] No, no, no, no, no. [01:11:03.620 --> 01:11:13.460] We're asking about the new citation, the one that you said the prosecutor changed and refiled [01:11:13.460 --> 01:11:16.580] a new citation. [01:11:16.580 --> 01:11:17.580] Who signed that? [01:11:17.580 --> 01:11:18.580] A new complaint? [01:11:18.580 --> 01:11:20.580] They filed a new citation. [01:11:20.580 --> 01:11:21.580] Okay. [01:11:21.580 --> 01:11:27.380] They just said on the top of the yellow page says no valid chauffeur's license. [01:11:27.380 --> 01:11:30.900] Okay, but who signed the new complaint is what I'm asking. [01:11:30.900 --> 01:11:34.300] You get to judge. [01:11:34.300 --> 01:11:35.300] Took it to the judge. [01:11:35.300 --> 01:11:36.300] Yeah. [01:11:36.300 --> 01:11:40.460] I refiled and the judge's signature is there. [01:11:40.460 --> 01:11:47.780] Okay, slight problem with what they did if that's what they did, okay. [01:11:47.780 --> 01:11:51.260] Did they provide you with a copy of this new complaint? [01:11:51.260 --> 01:11:52.260] Yeah. [01:11:52.260 --> 01:11:57.940] Okay, what I need you to do is we need to take this offline, but what I need you to [01:11:57.940 --> 01:12:06.100] do is to scan in every piece of paperwork you've been given and email that to me. [01:12:06.100 --> 01:12:10.980] Scan it in, front and back, any place where there's writing and email that to me. [01:12:10.980 --> 01:12:16.300] I need to see this paperwork because we need to get some names and then we need to go after [01:12:16.300 --> 01:12:17.300] some heads. [01:12:17.300 --> 01:12:18.300] Name? [01:12:18.300 --> 01:12:22.820] Yeah, what, what judge was this? [01:12:22.820 --> 01:12:30.900] Okay, you know, you know what is so funny on the complaint says I, such and such name, [01:12:30.900 --> 01:12:38.060] believe, have reason to believe and I do that, my name then that violated this and so on [01:12:38.060 --> 01:12:39.060] a statement. [01:12:39.060 --> 01:12:45.140] Then on the second one, after he changed it, there is the same thing. [01:12:45.140 --> 01:12:54.420] I believe, I have reason to believe and I do that I did such and such with the different [01:12:54.420 --> 01:12:55.420] charges. [01:12:55.420 --> 01:12:58.900] Well, wait a minute, but what name is on that second complaint? [01:12:58.900 --> 01:13:03.780] The second complaint that is not officer's name is the clerk's, out of him. [01:13:03.780 --> 01:13:07.780] The clerk of the court changed the, or signed the new complaint. [01:13:07.780 --> 01:13:09.420] I'm sorry? [01:13:09.420 --> 01:13:11.580] The clerk of the court? [01:13:11.580 --> 01:13:19.380] Yes, the clerk has sworn, sworn to a lie statement, you know. [01:13:19.380 --> 01:13:22.740] The clerk never, yeah, the clerk has, is not a witness. [01:13:22.740 --> 01:13:24.940] The clerk can't swear to such a thing. [01:13:24.940 --> 01:13:26.340] But I have all these things. [01:13:26.340 --> 01:13:27.740] Okay, they got a big problem. [01:13:27.740 --> 01:13:30.260] All right, do what Evan says. [01:13:30.260 --> 01:13:37.860] Yeah, the issue here now is, where did the clerk get her information in order to sign [01:13:37.860 --> 01:13:38.860] the complaint? [01:13:38.860 --> 01:13:43.820] If she never talked to the guy that issued the citation, that means her information [01:13:43.820 --> 01:13:47.180] came solely from the prosecutor. [01:13:47.180 --> 01:13:53.540] And now we've got the issue that the prosecutor has directed the clerk of the court to sign [01:13:53.540 --> 01:13:56.380] a complaint that he initiated. [01:13:56.380 --> 01:13:58.380] That's absolutely illegal. [01:13:58.380 --> 01:14:02.100] And not only that, the clerk is, has just committed perjury also. [01:14:02.100 --> 01:14:09.940] Well, not only perjury, okay, on the bottom of that says that my act or whatever the violation [01:14:09.940 --> 01:14:16.660] is on both, that is against the peace and integrity of the state. [01:14:16.660 --> 01:14:17.660] This is bothering. [01:14:17.660 --> 01:14:19.220] Peace and dignity of the state. [01:14:19.220 --> 01:14:23.900] I am proud patriot American by choice and Texan by grace of God. [01:14:23.900 --> 01:14:28.980] I'm going to fight this one all the way because I want to see if the state paying these guys [01:14:28.980 --> 01:14:34.580] to write a statement that is lie and swear to it. [01:14:34.580 --> 01:14:38.580] Absolutely, there's no question about it. [01:14:38.580 --> 01:14:41.900] This is the, does clerk's swore to a lie? [01:14:41.900 --> 01:14:42.900] Right. [01:14:42.900 --> 01:14:47.700] I will send you email if you would please give me your email. [01:14:47.700 --> 01:14:49.700] Yeah, our email address. [01:14:49.700 --> 01:14:51.420] Yeah, go ahead Debra. [01:14:51.420 --> 01:15:00.140] Well, it's on the website, but Eddie's is eddedie at ruleoflawradio.com. [01:15:00.140 --> 01:15:02.140] Send it to Eddie. [01:15:02.140 --> 01:15:03.140] Law. [01:15:03.140 --> 01:15:04.140] Ruleoflawradio.com. [01:15:04.140 --> 01:15:05.140] Okay. [01:15:05.140 --> 01:15:11.380] But you need to scan in these documents with a scanner. [01:15:11.380 --> 01:15:15.300] So there's a visual image like a JPEG file or something. [01:15:15.300 --> 01:15:19.740] Is it anywhere that I can deliver to you? [01:15:19.740 --> 01:15:26.020] You could make copies and mail it, but it would, the mailing address is on the website, [01:15:26.020 --> 01:15:30.020] but if you want it to get to Eddie quickly, the best thing to do is scan it. [01:15:30.020 --> 01:15:31.020] Do you have a computer? [01:15:31.020 --> 01:15:32.020] Do you have a scanner? [01:15:32.020 --> 01:15:35.140] I don't have a computer and I don't have a scanner. [01:15:35.140 --> 01:15:36.140] Okay, okay. [01:15:36.140 --> 01:15:39.100] I can't bring it to you, you know. [01:15:39.100 --> 01:15:42.300] Well, Eddie, what do you want to do? [01:15:42.300 --> 01:15:45.500] Do you want to make copies and mail it? [01:15:45.500 --> 01:15:50.780] He can do that or he can meet me somewhere up in Flugerville and drop it off his life. [01:15:50.780 --> 01:15:53.620] I'll meet you in Flugerville anytime you tell me. [01:15:53.620 --> 01:16:00.060] Okay, why don't you, let's take this offline so that we can get your, here, is this your [01:16:00.060 --> 01:16:05.020] phone number that's on the board, your caller ID and a 307 area code?

[01:16:10.140 --> 01:16:13.020] Just stay on the line and I'll get your contact information on the break. [01:16:13.020 --> 01:16:15.020] We're about to go to break.

[01:16:23.420 --> 01:16:26.300] Yeah, we're really proud of you, Alan. [01:16:26.300 --> 01:16:28.500] We've got to do something about these scoundrels. [01:16:28.500 --> 01:16:34.180] I've been living in Austin for 38 years, driving cab 31 years. [01:16:34.180 --> 01:16:37.780] I'm the oldest, 64 years old, I don't deserve that. [01:16:37.780 --> 01:16:41.580] No, none of us do and that's why we do this show to put a stop to this. [01:16:41.580 --> 01:16:43.500] All right, Alan, stay right there. [01:16:43.500 --> 01:16:44.500] Stay right there, Alan. [01:16:44.500 --> 01:16:48.300] We're going to get your phone number when we go on break. [01:16:48.300 --> 01:16:49.620] This has got to stop.

[01:16:55.780 --> 01:16:58.140] The whole thing is totally illegal. [01:16:58.140 --> 01:17:00.940] We'll be right back, folks.

[01:18:04.780 --> 01:18:09.580] We specialize in showing people how to strike back against corrupt public officials. [01:18:09.580 --> 01:18:14.020] With the mortgage crisis worsening, we set our sights on finding a remedy for people [01:18:14.020 --> 01:18:16.140] who have been cheated by their lenders. [01:18:16.140 --> 01:18:20.340] If you have a mortgage or have paid yours off, you have probably been cheated out of [01:18:20.340 --> 01:18:22.660] thousands, but there is a remedy. [01:18:22.660 --> 01:18:31.940] Go to remediesandrealestate.com or call me at 512-430-4140 and find out how to use the [01:18:31.940 --> 01:18:37.500] consumer protection laws to recover what the lenders have stolen through fraud and deception. [01:18:37.500 --> 01:18:42.340] We will prepare for you a qualified written request that will expose the fraud and put [01:18:42.340 --> 01:18:44.220] the lenders on the dime. [01:18:44.220 --> 01:18:48.300] Lender fraud is bankrupting this country, and it's time to fight back. [01:18:48.300 --> 01:18:57.820] Go to remediesandrealestate.com or call 512-430-4140 and get the information you need to stop [01:18:57.820 --> 01:19:23.300] the money changers in their tracks. [01:19:23.300 --> 01:19:28.860] All right folks, we are back, yeah, now that's the kind of spirit we're talking about. [01:19:28.860 --> 01:19:36.100] Here's a man, Alan from Texas, he's not even from this country, and he is fighting a good [01:19:36.100 --> 01:19:37.100] fight. [01:19:37.100 --> 01:19:41.740] We need more good-hearted Americans to do such a thing. [01:19:41.740 --> 01:19:46.780] Okay folks, we're taking your calls, we've got Mitchell in Texas. [01:19:46.780 --> 01:19:49.780] Okay, Mitchell, thank you for calling in. [01:19:49.780 --> 01:19:51.780] What is your question or comment tonight? [01:19:51.780 --> 01:19:53.420] Can you hear me all right? [01:19:53.420 --> 01:19:56.060] Yeah, can you get on the regular handset please? [01:19:56.060 --> 01:19:57.060] Yeah. [01:19:57.060 --> 01:19:58.060] Okay, great. [01:19:58.060 --> 01:19:59.060] It's better? [01:19:59.060 --> 01:20:00.580] Yeah, yeah, okay, go ahead. [01:20:00.580 --> 01:20:08.020] Okay, so first off, I just sent y'all an email that has the code provision, the city [01:20:08.020 --> 01:20:13.580] Boston code provision that I think Alan was referring to. [01:20:13.580 --> 01:20:17.620] And the reason I guess I know a little bit about this is I'm sort of dealing with a similar [01:20:17.620 --> 01:20:23.180] issue and so I've encountered this provision as well. [01:20:23.180 --> 01:20:27.980] And it does say there that while on duty, a driver of a ground transportation service [01:20:27.980 --> 01:20:34.020] shall allow enforcement personnel and customers who demand and on request the driver's chauffeur's [01:20:34.020 --> 01:20:41.340] permit, driver's chauffeur's permit or commercial driver's license. [01:20:41.340 --> 01:20:46.500] So whether or not that's sort of legal, that's a different issue, but it is in... [01:20:46.500 --> 01:20:51.540] Well the thing is based upon what you're reading there, that is telling me that by the language [01:20:51.540 --> 01:20:54.660] it's not required to be displayed at all. [01:20:54.660 --> 01:20:59.420] It only is required to be made available on request. [01:20:59.420 --> 01:21:02.220] That's what you said the statute just says on the ordinance. [01:21:02.220 --> 01:21:07.540] I just read you provision B. Provision A, and I sent you both of these, part A says a person [01:21:07.540 --> 01:21:11.900] may not drive a ground transportation vehicle unless the chauffeur's permit issued under [01:21:11.900 --> 01:21:17.860] this chapter or a class B or C, commercial driver's license with passenger endorsement [01:21:17.860 --> 01:21:22.540] issued to the driver by the State of Texas, blah, blah, blah, is displayed in the vehicle. [01:21:22.540 --> 01:21:23.540] Well he wasn't driving. [01:21:23.540 --> 01:21:24.540] He was parked. [01:21:24.540 --> 01:21:25.540] He was on his lunch break. [01:21:25.540 --> 01:21:26.540] He wasn't in commerce. [01:21:26.540 --> 01:21:27.540] Yeah. [01:21:27.540 --> 01:21:28.540] And I fully understand that. [01:21:28.540 --> 01:21:32.980] I'm just saying it sounds like what they're referring to is this provision. [01:21:32.980 --> 01:21:33.980] Probably. [01:21:33.980 --> 01:21:39.460] Also, I'm dealing with many of the same issues and this is more my point. [01:21:39.460 --> 01:21:41.260] I wasn't even calling about that issue. [01:21:41.260 --> 01:21:42.260] Okay. [01:21:42.260 --> 01:21:43.260] Sure. [01:21:43.260 --> 01:21:44.260] Go ahead, Mitchell. [01:21:44.260 --> 01:21:48.500] In what I'm saying, since a lot of this stuff is sort of the same stuff as Alan, you can [01:21:48.500 --> 01:21:55.460] actually forward to him or when you talk to him, you can give him my phone number if [01:21:55.460 --> 01:21:58.580] you think that would be helpful because I'm running for the same thing. [01:21:58.580 --> 01:22:06.140] In particular, what I called you about a couple weeks ago or one of the topics discussed with [01:22:06.140 --> 01:22:07.140] you and Randy. [01:22:07.140 --> 01:22:16.020] You weren't in but this issue with the assiant on the complaint being just a, no, it's not [01:22:16.020 --> 01:22:20.460] the clerk or at least on my citation, it's not or on my complaint, it's not the clerk. [01:22:20.460 --> 01:22:28.900] The clerk is merely the person who is attested or is sort of the notary on it but it's actually [01:22:28.900 --> 01:22:35.220] attested to or the assiant is just a person who works in the municipal building or works [01:22:35.220 --> 01:22:37.460] for the city. [01:22:37.460 --> 01:22:41.940] There's no title or anything after her name and when I picked up this complaint... [01:22:41.940 --> 01:22:48.180] Well, there wouldn't be because all affidavits have to be signed in a personal capacity, [01:22:48.180 --> 01:22:52.780] which is exactly why the clerk doing it as a part of their job makes the criminal complaint [01:22:52.780 --> 01:22:53.780] illegal. [01:22:53.780 --> 01:23:00.500] Well, I don't think this person who signed it as the assiant actually is a clerk. [01:23:00.500 --> 01:23:06.620] I did ask who this person is and the answer I got was, well, she just works upstairs and [01:23:06.620 --> 01:23:12.860] then I even asked the judge or I asked the prosecutor who the person was and I got a [01:23:12.860 --> 01:23:17.700] similar answer and I even went up and asked the judge who was providing over or presiding [01:23:17.700 --> 01:23:25.340] over this particular hearing and got a similar answer from him or actually more of an evading [01:23:25.340 --> 01:23:28.300] of the question, not really a direct answer. [01:23:28.300 --> 01:23:36.900] So, I think this person is merely a sort of a rubber stamper who attests to these things. [01:23:36.900 --> 01:23:40.980] Well, period. [01:23:40.980 --> 01:23:43.220] Okay. [01:23:43.220 --> 01:23:44.900] So what exactly is the question? [01:23:44.900 --> 01:23:45.900] All right. [01:23:45.900 --> 01:23:48.020] My question is actually a bit different than that. [01:23:48.020 --> 01:23:53.940] I was sort of commenting on his thing. [01:23:53.940 --> 01:24:01.300] Is a municipal court indeed an inferior court to a district court? [01:24:01.300 --> 01:24:02.300] Absolutely. [01:24:02.300 --> 01:24:03.300] Okay. [01:24:03.300 --> 01:24:05.260] It's a court of limited jurisdiction. [01:24:05.260 --> 01:24:06.260] Okay. [01:24:06.260 --> 01:24:11.780] And where I'm sort of weaving this in is what you've brought up many times about the Texas [01:24:11.780 --> 01:24:22.860] Constitution stating that the only people who can prosecute a case... [01:24:22.860 --> 01:24:23.860] Okay. [01:24:23.860 --> 01:24:24.860] ...in the name of the state... [01:24:24.860 --> 01:24:27.060] In the name of the state is a county attorney. [01:24:27.060 --> 01:24:28.060] No. [01:24:28.060 --> 01:24:29.060] It's in the county. [01:24:29.060 --> 01:24:30.060] County or district attorney. [01:24:30.060 --> 01:24:34.780] County or just, I'm sorry, county or district attorney. [01:24:34.780 --> 01:24:36.020] And forgive me a little bit. [01:24:36.020 --> 01:24:39.460] I'm obviously not as familiar with the disease as you. [01:24:39.460 --> 01:24:40.460] No, that's okay. [01:24:40.460 --> 01:24:43.180] I'm just trying to make sure we keep this clear for everybody listening. [01:24:43.180 --> 01:24:44.180] Great. [01:24:44.180 --> 01:24:52.180] And of course, that's in direct conflict with what a statute says that or Chapter 45 of the [01:24:52.180 --> 01:24:59.180] Court of Criminal Procedure says that a municipal attorney shall prosecute all municipal cases [01:24:59.180 --> 01:25:00.380] or something to that extent. [01:25:00.380 --> 01:25:01.380] That's correct. [01:25:01.380 --> 01:25:05.580] It says that he'll prosecute all cases in a municipal court. [01:25:05.580 --> 01:25:11.180] However, it does not authorize him to act as an attorney for the state. [01:25:11.180 --> 01:25:18.580] He can only prosecute violations of municipal ordinance, not violations of a state statute. [01:25:18.580 --> 01:25:22.420] Well, isn't there sort of a conflict because... [01:25:22.420 --> 01:25:24.140] Yes, there is. [01:25:24.140 --> 01:25:28.900] Because of the way the individual statutes are written versus granting jurisdiction to [01:25:28.900 --> 01:25:39.060] municipal courts versus granting prosecutorial power to a city attorney, there is a conflict. [01:25:39.060 --> 01:25:45.740] The problem is, is they tried to give the attorney the power to prosecute any case based [01:25:45.740 --> 01:25:48.860] upon what it says in that section. [01:25:48.860 --> 01:25:57.220] However, that violates Constitution and all other sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure. [01:25:57.220 --> 01:25:58.780] That's the problem. [01:25:58.780 --> 01:26:06.420] What if the ordinance being violated is indeed a municipal ordinance, then from the way you [01:26:06.420 --> 01:26:07.900] said, is the... [01:26:07.900 --> 01:26:11.340] He can prosecute a municipal ordinance violation. [01:26:11.340 --> 01:26:17.940] He simply cannot prosecute a state law violation in the name of the state. [01:26:17.940 --> 01:26:18.940] Okay. [01:26:18.940 --> 01:26:25.980] See, this is the issue of why that same section of statute says that if he so desires, the [01:26:25.980 --> 01:26:35.380] county attorney may prosecute the interest of the state alongside the city attorney. [01:26:35.380 --> 01:26:41.500] But it in no way shape or form gives the city attorney the authority to do it. [01:26:41.500 --> 01:26:46.180] Unfortunately, a lot of the city ordinances really are just that. [01:26:46.180 --> 01:26:54.100] Even though they may, for instance, stop Allen for a essentially driving or it's a driving [01:26:54.100 --> 01:27:00.580] issue, but because the ordinance is a municipal ordinance, then if I'm following what you're [01:27:00.580 --> 01:27:09.660] saying, then indeed a municipal prosecutor can prosecute that municipal offense. [01:27:09.660 --> 01:27:10.660] Correct. [01:27:10.660 --> 01:27:16.100] He can prosecute the municipal ordinance offense, but he cannot prosecute the offense in the [01:27:16.100 --> 01:27:18.860] name of the state under the state law. [01:27:18.860 --> 01:27:19.860] Got it. [01:27:19.860 --> 01:27:20.860] Okay. [01:27:20.860 --> 01:27:25.060] Completely switching subject or same overall subject by the different angle here. [01:27:25.060 --> 01:27:31.500] Is there a Texas case law that can be cited that prohibits one witness who is supposed [01:27:31.500 --> 01:27:36.620] to testify in a case from being present when another witness is testifying? [01:27:36.620 --> 01:27:37.620] Yes. [01:27:37.620 --> 01:27:39.340] It's called the rule. [01:27:39.340 --> 01:27:44.420] The rule allows segregation and separation of witnesses so that they may not be privy [01:27:44.420 --> 01:27:48.300] to each other's testimony prior to giving their own. [01:27:48.300 --> 01:27:54.180] And that makes sense because the court wants to ensure that the witnesses are going to [01:27:54.180 --> 01:27:55.380] give honest testimony. [01:27:55.380 --> 01:27:56.380] Right. [01:27:56.380 --> 01:27:58.020] And I understand all that, of course. [01:27:58.020 --> 01:28:03.940] I just want to know if the two people are in the courtroom when one is testifying. [01:28:03.940 --> 01:28:09.780] You move the court to invoke the rule and the court will remove the witnesses except [01:28:09.780 --> 01:28:15.620] for the one actually testifying and separate them with instructions not to discuss their [01:28:15.620 --> 01:28:21.740] testimony or any testimony already given with each other or anyone else. [01:28:21.740 --> 01:28:22.740] There's one exception. [01:28:22.740 --> 01:28:23.940] Until the trial is concluded. [01:28:23.940 --> 01:28:25.580] There's one exception to that rule. [01:28:25.580 --> 01:28:30.660] If a witness is a party to the case, they can't be removed from the courtroom because [01:28:30.660 --> 01:28:32.980] they're a party to the case. [01:28:32.980 --> 01:28:34.140] That's the only exception. [01:28:34.140 --> 01:28:41.940] Well, does an officer who wrote the citation and his partner, do they fall under that exception? [01:28:41.940 --> 01:28:47.540] No, because the officer is not technically a party to the case. [01:28:47.540 --> 01:28:54.700] If it's a prosecution of a traffic ticket, it would be state of Texas or city of Austin [01:28:54.700 --> 01:28:56.780] v. so-and-so. [01:28:56.780 --> 01:29:01.100] The officer is not the city of Austin and the officer is certainly not the state of [01:29:01.100 --> 01:29:02.100] Texas. [01:29:02.100 --> 01:29:06.940] Let me jump back on that because actually this complaint, even though it's a municipal [01:29:06.940 --> 01:29:12.300] ordinance, so I'm jumping back to my first question, but you sort of raised it again. [01:29:12.300 --> 01:29:15.980] It actually says the state of Texas versus the defendant. [01:29:15.980 --> 01:29:17.980] It doesn't say the city of Austin versus the defendant. [01:29:17.980 --> 01:29:18.980] I'm not sure which one. [01:29:18.980 --> 01:29:20.500] I haven't gotten a traffic ticket for years. [01:29:20.500 --> 01:29:22.900] That's because they can't. [01:29:22.900 --> 01:29:28.140] Any criminal complaint in Texas must begin with in and by the authority of the state [01:29:28.140 --> 01:29:30.140] of Texas. [01:29:30.140 --> 01:29:35.740] That's exactly my problem with them using the city attorney and these other things to [01:29:35.740 --> 01:29:38.060] prosecute in these state offenses. [01:29:38.060 --> 01:29:41.540] Oh, because all of these traffic tickets say state of Texas v. so-and-so? [01:29:41.540 --> 01:29:43.940] Yeah, every last one of them has to. [01:29:43.940 --> 01:29:44.940] Oh, boy. [01:29:44.940 --> 01:29:45.940] Oh, boy. [01:29:45.940 --> 01:29:49.860] Oh, so there may be some traction that can be. [01:29:49.860 --> 01:29:50.860] Yeah. [01:29:50.860 --> 01:29:53.540] Do you need some more time, Mitchell? [01:29:53.540 --> 01:29:54.540] Yes. [01:29:54.540 --> 01:29:55.540] Okay, stay right there. [01:29:55.540 --> 01:30:00.220] We'll be right back, folks. [01:30:00.220 --> 01:30:03.660] Top 10 reasons to question the official story of the Oklahoma City bombing. [01:30:03.660 --> 01:30:05.620] Number nine, the Extra Lake. [01:30:05.620 --> 01:30:09.660] Former Oklahoma State medical examiner Dr. Fred Jordan had stated, we had eight people [01:30:09.660 --> 01:30:13.020] with amputated left legs and nine left legs to account for. [01:30:13.020 --> 01:30:17.500] The pathologist for Northern Ireland, T. K. Marshall, who performed over 2,500 autopsies [01:30:17.500 --> 01:30:20.620] in his time, stated, there's never been an unknown victim. [01:30:20.620 --> 01:30:24.740] This leg belongs to a perpetrator close enough to the bomb or his body to be damaged, leaving [01:30:24.740 --> 01:30:26.500] only a left leg behind. [01:30:26.500 --> 01:30:27.500] Who was this person? [01:30:27.500 --> 01:30:29.380] Please go to okcbombingtruth.com. [01:30:29.380 --> 01:30:37.620] Citizens should always be on the lookout for abuse of power and not just in high places. [01:30:37.620 --> 01:30:40.900] Sometimes even low-level government employees can develop a taste for tyranny. [01:30:40.900 --> 01:30:45.220] Dr. Catherine Albright, I'll be right back with a twisted tale of tampering with the [01:30:45.220 --> 01:30:47.300] terror list. [01:30:47.300 --> 01:30:48.900] Privacy is under attack. [01:30:48.900 --> 01:30:52.500] When you give up data about yourself, you'll never get it back again. [01:30:52.500 --> 01:30:57.300] And once your privacy is gone, you'll find your freedoms will start to vanish, too. [01:30:57.300 --> 01:30:58.740] So protect your rights. [01:30:58.740 --> 01:31:02.620] Say no to surveillance and keep your information to yourself. [01:31:02.620 --> 01:31:05.060] Privacy, it's worth hanging on to. [01:31:05.060 --> 01:31:09.340] This public service announcement is brought to you by startpage.com, the private search [01:31:09.340 --> 01:31:12.860] and an alternative to Google, Yahoo, and Bing. [01:31:12.860 --> 01:31:14.860] Start over with startpage. [01:31:14.860 --> 01:31:19.820] Someone should tell Paul Simon there's yet another way to leave your lover. [01:31:19.820 --> 01:31:21.860] Add her to the terrorist no fly list. [01:31:21.860 --> 01:31:27.500] That's exactly what a U.K. immigration officer did when his wife was visiting family in Pakistan. [01:31:27.500 --> 01:31:30.900] His scheme prevented her from boarding a plane and returning home. [01:31:30.900 --> 01:31:34.620] She remained grounded until three years later when he was interviewed for a promotion. [01:31:34.620 --> 01:31:38.660] When he was questioned about his marriage to a known terrorist, the officer was forced [01:31:38.660 --> 01:31:40.100] to admit his deceit. [01:31:40.100 --> 01:31:44.060] The moral of the story is summed up nicely by founding father James Madison. [01:31:44.060 --> 01:31:48.300] The essence of government is power, and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will [01:31:48.300 --> 01:31:49.860] ever be liable to abuse. [01:31:49.860 --> 01:32:14.420] I'm Dr. Catherine Albrecht, more news and information at CatherineAlbrecht.com. [01:32:14.420 --> 01:32:20.620] All right, folks, we are back, we've got about half an hour left, and we've got five people [01:32:20.620 --> 01:32:21.620] on the board. [01:32:21.620 --> 01:32:28.300] So, let's all try to keep consideration of each other's time here so that we can get [01:32:28.300 --> 01:32:29.300] to all the calls. [01:32:29.300 --> 01:32:32.660] Okay, Mitchell, you had one other point or question. [01:32:32.660 --> 01:32:44.500] So, Eddie, from what you said, it's kind of a big picture, can a municipal ordinance not [01:32:44.500 --> 01:32:49.940] or a violation of a municipal ordinance not be considered a crime? [01:32:49.940 --> 01:32:55.220] Technically speaking, I don't know how it could be called a crime if it has to be prosecuted [01:32:55.220 --> 01:32:57.740] in the name of the state. [01:32:57.740 --> 01:33:02.620] Then you're talking about state law requirements if it's prosecuted in the name of the state [01:33:02.620 --> 01:33:10.780] and not the city, and all criminal complaints in Texas must begin with in and by the authority [01:33:10.780 --> 01:33:17.060] of the state of Texas and conclude with against the peace and dignity of the state. [01:33:17.060 --> 01:33:24.100] And if it's a violation of a city ordinance, it should, doesn't have to, but it should also [01:33:24.100 --> 01:33:29.140] state on the bottom of the complaint right before that against the peace and dignity [01:33:29.140 --> 01:33:37.180] of the state in violation of said ordinance. [01:33:37.180 --> 01:33:43.060] This one says contrary to sections, that can, yeah, it can say contrary to said ordinance [01:33:43.060 --> 01:33:44.060] as well. [01:33:44.060 --> 01:33:45.060] Right. [01:33:45.060 --> 01:33:49.220] Okay, last question. [01:33:49.220 --> 01:33:57.260] A permit issued by an administrative agency of a municipality, so say the permit for Allen's [01:33:57.260 --> 01:34:06.900] cab said, you're not allowed to have more than eight people in the cab, but he had nine [01:34:06.900 --> 01:34:14.780] and he got a ticket for that because it was in violation of the operating permit. [01:34:14.780 --> 01:34:19.180] Can that be considered a crime? [01:34:19.180 --> 01:34:25.660] Because it's not something that was voted on by either the legislature or the city council. [01:34:25.660 --> 01:34:33.060] It was just a rule, an additional rule made up by the administrative or the staff of the [01:34:33.060 --> 01:34:34.860] city. [01:34:34.860 --> 01:34:40.940] It depends upon what authority the legislature granted the city to regulate the operation [01:34:40.940 --> 01:34:48.260] of those types of commercial activities within their boundaries. [01:34:48.260 --> 01:34:53.940] The legislature can delegate a certain amount of authority for them to create rules and [01:34:53.940 --> 01:34:55.020] regulations. [01:34:55.020 --> 01:34:59.660] They cannot create law, period. [01:34:59.660 --> 01:35:05.940] They can create rules and regulations, which is exactly why they can't be binding upon [01:35:05.940 --> 01:35:13.340] us the people because they are only rules and regulations and we're not under the jurisdiction [01:35:13.340 --> 01:35:16.860] of the city for the purpose of rules and regulations. [01:35:16.860 --> 01:35:21.220] Well then how could any violation of any of the rules or regulations be considered a crime? [01:35:21.220 --> 01:35:23.380] It seems like that would just be a civil infraction. [01:35:23.380 --> 01:35:24.380] Exactly. [01:35:24.380 --> 01:35:27.980] That's the issue. [01:35:27.980 --> 01:35:36.620] So a potential avenue for motion to dismiss could be if it's accurate, even if this assertion [01:35:36.620 --> 01:35:39.780] is accurate, it's a violation of the permit. [01:35:39.780 --> 01:35:43.380] It's not a violation of any law. [01:35:43.380 --> 01:35:44.780] Any criminal law? [01:35:44.780 --> 01:35:47.380] I'm sorry, Reagan? [01:35:47.380 --> 01:35:50.300] It's not a violation of any criminal law for certain. [01:35:50.300 --> 01:35:54.300] Then why do they keep saying that this is a criminal issue and that these things are [01:35:54.300 --> 01:35:56.460] class C misdemeanors and such? [01:35:56.460 --> 01:36:03.540] Is this just a bluff that they're running? [01:36:03.540 --> 01:36:06.700] No, look at what they do with the transportation code. [01:36:06.700 --> 01:36:13.260] Everything in the transportation code shows that it should be tried as a civil offense. [01:36:13.260 --> 01:36:14.980] Everything does. [01:36:14.980 --> 01:36:19.220] But they always try it under criminal laws. [01:36:19.220 --> 01:36:24.320] The problem here is that the Department of Public Safety, according to every version [01:36:24.320 --> 01:36:30.380] of every chapter in the code, is an administrative agency. [01:36:30.380 --> 01:36:36.380] And because they're an administrative agency, the rules and regulations they adopt are outside [01:36:36.380 --> 01:36:42.900] of the court's jurisdiction specifically pursuant the Administrative Procedures Act. [01:36:42.900 --> 01:36:47.620] So by definition, they should not be trying them under criminal law. [01:36:47.620 --> 01:36:49.020] But they are. [01:36:49.020 --> 01:36:54.820] And the reason is, is no one is making the courts accountable for not enforcing the laws [01:36:54.820 --> 01:36:56.740] that have been passed. [01:36:56.740 --> 01:37:00.740] Eddie, real quick, last question. [01:37:00.740 --> 01:37:05.980] Can you just elaborate on the phrasing of what you referred to before as the rule? [01:37:05.980 --> 01:37:11.660] Like if I'm in court, I'm sort of afraid or whatever of saying, well, the rule says you [01:37:11.660 --> 01:37:13.860] can't have two witnesses in here. [01:37:13.860 --> 01:37:16.620] Is there something more elaborate than just the rule? [01:37:16.620 --> 01:37:17.620] No. [01:37:17.620 --> 01:37:22.780] Well, the court, I move the court to invoke the rule and separate the witnesses that are [01:37:22.780 --> 01:37:24.780] to give testimony. [01:37:24.780 --> 01:37:25.900] That's all you got to say. [01:37:25.900 --> 01:37:28.780] They know exactly what that means. [01:37:28.780 --> 01:37:33.980] But I mean, is it the rule of something, the rule of no two witnesses in the court? [01:37:33.980 --> 01:37:36.540] That's just their generic name for it. [01:37:36.540 --> 01:37:39.260] But yes, there's a technical name for it. [01:37:39.260 --> 01:37:43.140] I'm not 100% positive as to what it is. [01:37:43.140 --> 01:37:45.340] But it's how every court knows it. [01:37:45.340 --> 01:37:46.940] Every court knows it as the rule. [01:37:46.940 --> 01:37:54.820] I know for a fact Austin Municipal does because Mike Handel invoked it in his case and they [01:37:54.820 --> 01:37:59.460] sat right there and explained to the jury what was going on and why it was going on. [01:37:59.460 --> 01:38:00.460] Got it. [01:38:00.460 --> 01:38:01.460] Thanks, guys. [01:38:01.460 --> 01:38:02.460] All right. [01:38:02.460 --> 01:38:04.460] Thanks, Mitchell. [01:38:04.460 --> 01:38:05.460] Okay. [01:38:05.460 --> 01:38:06.460] All right. [01:38:06.460 --> 01:38:07.460] Let's see. [01:38:07.460 --> 01:38:10.300] We are going now to Georgia in Texas. [01:38:10.300 --> 01:38:13.300] Georgia, thank you for calling in. [01:38:13.300 --> 01:38:16.220] What is your question for us tonight? [01:38:16.220 --> 01:38:24.580] Well, it's actually, I have a question about your Miranda rights. [01:38:24.580 --> 01:38:35.140] When you get arrested, are they supposed to mirandize you before they carry you to jail? [01:38:35.140 --> 01:38:37.500] Absolutely. [01:38:37.500 --> 01:38:40.140] They're not actually supposed to carry you to jail. [01:38:40.140 --> 01:38:45.340] They're supposed to carry you before a magistrate, especially if it's a traffic offense. [01:38:45.340 --> 01:38:48.700] No, it's not a traffic offense. [01:38:48.700 --> 01:38:59.420] It was, well, I might as well just tell you, I got arrested for family violence and interfering [01:38:59.420 --> 01:39:07.460] with a 9-1-1 call and they did not mirandize me at all. [01:39:07.460 --> 01:39:10.940] They just carried me straight to jail and all of the police officers... [01:39:10.940 --> 01:39:13.500] Did they ask you any questions? [01:39:13.500 --> 01:39:18.860] They asked me a couple of questions, but it didn't make any difference because they listened [01:39:18.860 --> 01:39:22.780] to the other person before they would listen to me and my wife and my wife and my wife. [01:39:22.780 --> 01:39:23.780] Wait, wait, wait. [01:39:23.780 --> 01:39:24.780] Answer my questions first. [01:39:24.780 --> 01:39:30.340] Did they ask you to give them any answers to any questions or provide them with any [01:39:30.340 --> 01:39:32.780] information of any kind? [01:39:32.780 --> 01:39:35.940] No, not really. [01:39:35.940 --> 01:39:41.180] They just asked me a couple of questions and, you know, about it. [01:39:41.180 --> 01:39:44.460] About it, you mean the incident? [01:39:44.460 --> 01:39:46.460] Yes, about the incident. [01:39:46.460 --> 01:39:47.460] Okay. [01:39:47.460 --> 01:39:49.460] What were the questions? [01:39:49.460 --> 01:39:50.460] It was in my home. [01:39:50.460 --> 01:39:52.740] I understand that. [01:39:52.740 --> 01:39:54.460] What were the questions? [01:39:54.460 --> 01:40:05.180] The questions that they asked me was how it began and why did not stop. [01:40:05.180 --> 01:40:06.180] Okay. [01:40:06.180 --> 01:40:11.220] They certainly were getting information about out of you related to the issue. [01:40:11.220 --> 01:40:16.260] They were trying to get you to give them information they could use to charge you or someone else. [01:40:16.260 --> 01:40:17.260] Well... [01:40:17.260 --> 01:40:22.300] So, right off the bat, without mirandizing you and informing you that at that time, had [01:40:22.300 --> 01:40:26.100] they already told you you were under arrest or were they writing any tickets or anything [01:40:26.100 --> 01:40:27.300] like that? [01:40:27.300 --> 01:40:28.860] They were writing things down. [01:40:28.860 --> 01:40:40.700] They were talking to the girl, which is my son's baby's...my son's baby's mama. [01:40:40.700 --> 01:40:48.300] My grandchildren were here with me and she had run into a deer, she said, and the deer [01:40:48.300 --> 01:40:56.140] fell up into her windshield and it broke her windshield and she was going to take my grandchildren [01:40:56.140 --> 01:41:03.100] and put them in the car with her with a broke windshield after she had done told us that [01:41:03.100 --> 01:41:06.460] glass had been blinded back on her. [01:41:06.460 --> 01:41:11.580] And I told her, I said, no, you're not going to put my grandchildren in that car, it's [01:41:11.580 --> 01:41:12.580] too dangerous. [01:41:12.580 --> 01:41:19.500] And then she went off on me about, you're not getting my children, they're not your biological [01:41:19.500 --> 01:41:25.900] grandchildren, they're not blah, blah to you and they're nothing to you and you can't [01:41:25.900 --> 01:41:31.580] tell me what I can do with my children and all this because I adopted my two boys. [01:41:31.580 --> 01:41:37.500] Well, it happens to be my oldest one that I adopted, which she doesn't realize that [01:41:37.500 --> 01:41:40.980] that still means I'm the baby's grandmother. [01:41:40.980 --> 01:41:48.580] But she went off on me and when I tried to, I grabbed...she was grabbed...she says, well, [01:41:48.580 --> 01:41:54.220] I'll just call the police and thinking I was wanting to keep her kids and I wasn't. [01:41:54.220 --> 01:42:01.220] All I was trying to do was get her to understand we could have carried them home, followed her [01:42:01.220 --> 01:42:09.260] in her car home with the grandchildren in our vehicle that was not having a broke windshield. [01:42:09.260 --> 01:42:20.220] But when I grabbed at her, she hit me and I'm a 54-year-old disabled woman and I'm trying [01:42:20.220 --> 01:42:31.820] to protect my grandchildren and also when she hit me, I was married at one time to a very [01:42:31.820 --> 01:42:36.580] abusive husband and he used to beat on me pretty regular. [01:42:36.580 --> 01:42:45.220] So when I got hit, it was just like automatic jump up and defend yourself, you know? [01:42:45.220 --> 01:42:51.620] Well, there's no law prohibiting a person from defending themselves, but...listen... [01:42:51.620 --> 01:43:03.300] The only reason that they locked me up was because she looked worse than I did and not [01:43:03.300 --> 01:43:04.300] only that... [01:43:04.300 --> 01:43:08.020] Well, she could have looked worse because she had just been in an accident. [01:43:08.020 --> 01:43:14.420] I mean, that doesn't really mean anything, but I guess what we're trying to get at here [01:43:14.420 --> 01:43:18.660] and part of the reason I'm interrupting you is because I don't want you to say too much [01:43:18.660 --> 01:43:25.220] on the air that might be used against you later on in the line if these police or prosecutors [01:43:25.220 --> 01:43:27.220] are listening to this show. [01:43:27.220 --> 01:43:34.580] Okay, so the real question is were your rights violated and how and what can be done about [01:43:34.580 --> 01:43:41.260] it because going to the merits of the case doesn't really ever help in situations like [01:43:41.260 --> 01:43:42.260] that. [01:43:42.260 --> 01:43:48.500] We're going to get what they did wrong, what laws did the police break in the course of [01:43:48.500 --> 01:43:49.500] these actions. [01:43:49.500 --> 01:43:54.100] So, Georgia, if you will hold on one moment and we'll try to answer these questions the [01:43:54.100 --> 01:43:58.260] best we can when we get back on the other side and take as many calls as we can when [01:43:58.260 --> 01:43:59.260] we get back. [01:43:59.260 --> 01:44:05.380] It is so enlightening to listen to 90.1 FM, but finding things on the Internet isn't so [01:44:05.380 --> 01:44:09.020] easy and neither is finding like-minded people to share it with. [01:44:09.020 --> 01:44:12.180] Oh, well, I guess you haven't heard of Brave New Books then. [01:44:12.180 --> 01:44:13.180] Brave New Books? [01:44:13.180 --> 01:44:14.180] Yes. [01:44:14.180 --> 01:44:18.380] Brave New Books has all the books and DVDs you're looking for by authors like Alex Jones, [01:44:18.380 --> 01:44:20.380] Ron Paul, and G. Edward Griffin. [01:44:20.380 --> 01:44:23.780] They even stock Interfood, Berkey products, and Calvin Soaps. [01:44:23.780 --> 01:44:26.700] There's no way a place like that exists. [01:44:26.700 --> 01:44:28.180] Go check it out for yourself. [01:44:28.180 --> 01:44:32.180] It's downtown at 1904 Guadalupe Street just south of UT. [01:44:32.180 --> 01:44:33.180] Oh, by UT? [01:44:33.180 --> 01:44:35.860] There's never anywhere to park down there.

[01:46:15.180 --> 01:46:17.180] Okay, folks, we're back. [01:46:17.180 --> 01:46:24.180] All right, Georgia, we're going to try to evaluate the legal issues here as quickly as possible. [01:46:24.180 --> 01:46:27.180] So if you could please just answer our questions. [01:46:27.180 --> 01:46:34.180] Did they ask you any questions before they arrested you or these questions? [01:46:34.180 --> 01:46:37.180] Did they ask you after they arrested you? [01:46:37.180 --> 01:46:42.180] They asked me a couple of questions before they arrested me. [01:46:42.180 --> 01:46:44.180] The ones that you told us about earlier. [01:46:44.180 --> 01:46:45.180] Right. [01:46:45.180 --> 01:46:51.180] Okay, then Miranda does not apply because Miranda only applies to information [01:46:51.180 --> 01:46:58.180] that they try to elicit from you or solicit from you after you've been arrested. [01:46:58.180 --> 01:47:05.180] So if they showed up and asked you what happened and how did this all start and all these sorts of things, [01:47:05.180 --> 01:47:12.180] they were trying to gather information from you to figure out if they would have charged any grounds [01:47:12.180 --> 01:47:16.180] to charge you with a crime or arrest you or somebody else. [01:47:16.180 --> 01:47:22.180] And if you gave them answers to the questions, then you voluntarily agreed to that [01:47:22.180 --> 01:47:27.180] and you can't invoke the Miranda issue because you had not been arrested yet. [01:47:27.180 --> 01:47:33.180] Miranda only applies in situations where the police start questioning you after they've arrested you [01:47:33.180 --> 01:47:35.180] without giving you Miranda. [01:47:35.180 --> 01:47:36.180] They did. [01:47:36.180 --> 01:47:39.180] And they did after they arrested me. [01:47:39.180 --> 01:47:41.180] They did ask me some questions. [01:47:41.180 --> 01:47:46.180] Right, but it sounds like the main questions they asked you like what happened, [01:47:46.180 --> 01:47:53.180] how did this all start, the main questions they asked you before they arrested you. [01:47:53.180 --> 01:47:58.180] Okay, and let me ask another question. [01:47:58.180 --> 01:48:07.180] As far as police brutality, if there are no weapons involved, [01:48:07.180 --> 01:48:17.180] should a police officer be able to come in from behind you and dig his fingernails, [01:48:17.180 --> 01:48:23.180] fingers into your esophagus and yank you off of someone? [01:48:23.180 --> 01:48:24.180] No. [01:48:24.180 --> 01:48:26.180] Well, yank you off of someone. [01:48:26.180 --> 01:48:29.180] Yes, he's going to do what's necessary to separate you. [01:48:29.180 --> 01:48:30.180] Yes. [01:48:30.180 --> 01:48:34.180] Whatever his opinion will end the damage as quickly as possible. [01:48:34.180 --> 01:48:41.180] If there's a physical altercation and somebody is on, whatever that means, somebody else, [01:48:41.180 --> 01:48:45.180] yeah, the police can do whatever they think is necessary to separate those two people. [01:48:45.180 --> 01:48:47.180] Now, Georgia, I have another question. [01:48:47.180 --> 01:48:51.180] Have you been charged with a crime yet or not? [01:48:51.180 --> 01:48:56.180] Well, they had, they charged, they said they charged me, [01:48:56.180 --> 01:49:02.180] but my attorney, my attorney that they gave me, which I, like I say, I'm disabled, [01:49:02.180 --> 01:49:07.180] I'm on a set income, but so the attorney that they gave me, [01:49:07.180 --> 01:49:11.180] he told me they have not officially charged me yet. [01:49:11.180 --> 01:49:20.180] Okay, what you need to do is you need to go to the courthouse and look up your name at the county courthouse [01:49:20.180 --> 01:49:27.180] and find out if there is even a file or a criminal complaint or anything. [01:49:27.180 --> 01:49:31.180] That's how you will know if you've been charged with a crime or not. [01:49:31.180 --> 01:49:32.180] Okay. [01:49:32.180 --> 01:49:35.180] Shouldn't my court appointed attorney know that? [01:49:35.180 --> 01:49:38.180] Yes, but Georgia, you have to take control of the situation. [01:49:38.180 --> 01:49:40.180] You can never depend on an attorney. [01:49:40.180 --> 01:49:43.180] That's what we've been talking about all night long. [01:49:43.180 --> 01:49:50.180] Okay, you have to go to the courthouse and look at the file yourself and see if there even is a file. [01:49:50.180 --> 01:49:53.180] And I would go to... [01:49:53.180 --> 01:49:54.180] The clerk of the court. [01:49:54.180 --> 01:49:58.180] The clerk of the county court of whatever county you're in. [01:49:58.180 --> 01:49:59.180] The clerk. [01:49:59.180 --> 01:50:02.180] Yep, go to the courthouse. [01:50:02.180 --> 01:50:03.180] The county courthouse. [01:50:03.180 --> 01:50:04.180] Okay. [01:50:04.180 --> 01:50:07.180] Yeah, but I'm saying it would be the county clerk's office. [01:50:07.180 --> 01:50:08.180] Yes. [01:50:08.180 --> 01:50:09.180] Okay. [01:50:09.180 --> 01:50:13.180] Not the clerk of deeds or register of deeds, you have to go to the courthouse. [01:50:13.180 --> 01:50:14.180] Right. [01:50:14.180 --> 01:50:16.180] And go to the clerk's office at the courthouse. [01:50:16.180 --> 01:50:18.180] Oh, that's what I was getting at. [01:50:18.180 --> 01:50:19.180] Okay. [01:50:19.180 --> 01:50:20.180] The county clerk. [01:50:20.180 --> 01:50:21.180] Yes. [01:50:21.180 --> 01:50:22.180] Okay. [01:50:22.180 --> 01:50:31.180] But see, it's not just necessarily the county clerk because there are many county clerks for many different types of agencies. [01:50:31.180 --> 01:50:34.180] There's a clerk for the elections division. [01:50:34.180 --> 01:50:37.180] There's a county clerk for the register of deeds. [01:50:37.180 --> 01:50:43.180] You have to go to the courthouse and go to the clerk's office of the courthouse. [01:50:43.180 --> 01:50:44.180] Right. [01:50:44.180 --> 01:50:46.180] See, we live in a very small town. [01:50:46.180 --> 01:50:47.180] Okay. [01:50:47.180 --> 01:50:49.180] And the county seat is a very small town. [01:50:49.180 --> 01:50:50.180] Okay. [01:50:50.180 --> 01:50:51.180] All right. [01:50:51.180 --> 01:50:52.180] Very good. [01:50:52.180 --> 01:50:53.180] Okay. [01:50:53.180 --> 01:50:54.180] That's the first thing you need to do. [01:50:54.180 --> 01:50:56.180] All right, Georgia, we need to let you go. [01:50:56.180 --> 01:51:00.180] There's nothing else we can do unless until you get the file and see what's in the file. [01:51:00.180 --> 01:51:02.180] But yeah, you can't invoke Miranda. [01:51:02.180 --> 01:51:05.180] There's no such thing as Miranda rights until after you've been arrested. [01:51:05.180 --> 01:51:06.180] Okay. [01:51:06.180 --> 01:51:14.180] Shouldn't they have been able to give me a copy of the arrest report? [01:51:14.180 --> 01:51:17.180] You need to go to the courthouse to get that. [01:51:17.180 --> 01:51:18.180] Or the police station. [01:51:18.180 --> 01:51:20.180] Or the police station to get a copy. [01:51:20.180 --> 01:51:22.180] Or the police station to get a copy of the police report. [01:51:22.180 --> 01:51:25.180] You go to the courthouse to get a copy of everything that's in the file. [01:51:25.180 --> 01:51:27.180] They're not really required to give it to you. [01:51:27.180 --> 01:51:30.180] Well, they say that all I can get is the front page. [01:51:30.180 --> 01:51:31.180] Okay. [01:51:31.180 --> 01:51:36.180] Well, as far as whatever the police records are, they may not be required to give you [01:51:36.180 --> 01:51:39.180] everything on file at the police station. [01:51:39.180 --> 01:51:44.180] But at the courthouse, they have to give you everything that's in the file at the courthouse. [01:51:44.180 --> 01:51:45.180] All right. [01:51:45.180 --> 01:51:46.180] Okay. [01:51:46.180 --> 01:51:47.180] All right. [01:51:47.180 --> 01:51:48.180] Thank you. [01:51:48.180 --> 01:51:49.180] Okay. [01:51:49.180 --> 01:51:53.180] We're going to go now to Rick in California. [01:51:53.180 --> 01:51:54.180] Okay. [01:51:54.180 --> 01:51:55.180] Rick, thank you for calling. [01:51:55.180 --> 01:51:56.180] Thank you for so patiently holding. [01:51:56.180 --> 01:51:58.180] What is your question tonight? [01:51:58.180 --> 01:52:02.180] I just wanted to make a couple of statements real quick, but I wanted to thank you guys [01:52:02.180 --> 01:52:05.180] once again for being so patient with people here. [01:52:05.180 --> 01:52:07.180] You know, last few times I've called it. [01:52:07.180 --> 01:52:11.180] It almost seems that you guys have gotten so famous. [01:52:11.180 --> 01:52:16.180] It's almost as if some people call to ask questions and then give you the answers themselves. [01:52:16.180 --> 01:52:19.180] And it's almost as if they're just trying to change that and waste time. [01:52:19.180 --> 01:52:21.180] You know, but you guys are very patient. [01:52:21.180 --> 01:52:24.180] I want to thank you for that. [01:52:24.180 --> 01:52:26.180] I thought we were notorious, not famous. [01:52:26.180 --> 01:52:27.180] You're okay. [01:52:27.180 --> 01:52:28.180] Well, yeah. [01:52:28.180 --> 01:52:29.180] You guys are known. [01:52:29.180 --> 01:52:30.180] Are you sure it's not infamous? [01:52:30.180 --> 01:52:31.180] Okay. [01:52:31.180 --> 01:52:35.180] Well, people that I apply to from different parts of the state, like they know you guys [01:52:35.180 --> 01:52:37.180] and it's just, you know, it's amazing. [01:52:37.180 --> 01:52:38.180] I'm glad they do. [01:52:38.180 --> 01:52:39.180] All right. [01:52:39.180 --> 01:52:40.180] Well, we appreciate that. [01:52:40.180 --> 01:52:41.180] Go ahead, Rick. [01:52:41.180 --> 01:52:42.180] Yeah. [01:52:42.180 --> 01:52:43.180] I wanted to say number one. [01:52:43.180 --> 01:52:47.180] It's not opinion, not legal advice, not an attorney, but number one from what I understand [01:52:47.180 --> 01:52:48.180] of reading the law myself. [01:52:48.180 --> 01:52:51.180] At any state where you're tried with the civil matter, just like in Texas, [01:52:51.180 --> 01:52:53.180] we have the same problem out here in California. [01:52:53.180 --> 01:52:55.180] They're saving the fractures, our crimes. [01:52:55.180 --> 01:52:56.180] It's actually in the penal code. [01:52:56.180 --> 01:53:00.180] However, when you look through the motor vehicle code, which actually does apply, [01:53:00.180 --> 01:53:04.180] not the penal code, it states in certain cases that they are a civil matter. [01:53:04.180 --> 01:53:05.180] It's a civil nature. [01:53:05.180 --> 01:53:10.180] However, of course, like you guys, it's an administrative procedure that the DMV has [01:53:10.180 --> 01:53:13.180] authority over and jurisdiction over. [01:53:13.180 --> 01:53:16.180] However, the courts are just taking over and saying, oh, it's a crime. [01:53:16.180 --> 01:53:17.180] You just can't go to jail. [01:53:17.180 --> 01:53:19.180] So it's an infraction. [01:53:19.180 --> 01:53:22.180] It's a crime, whatever you want to call it. [01:53:22.180 --> 01:53:26.180] So from what I understand, in any state where you're tried with the civil matter, [01:53:26.180 --> 01:53:29.180] whether they want to call it a crime or not, if you can prove it's a civil matter, [01:53:29.180 --> 01:53:33.180] I would always follow the motion to suppress number one, because now they can't prove [01:53:33.180 --> 01:53:39.180] in any way shape or form that you weren't engaged or about to be engaged in criminal activity. [01:53:39.180 --> 01:53:44.180] Number two, as far as when the officers do stop you and they ask you questions, [01:53:44.180 --> 01:53:49.180] and you do say certain things, of course, from what I understand, [01:53:49.180 --> 01:53:53.180] if they do not review the Miranda rights and you are, of course, arrested, [01:53:53.180 --> 01:53:58.180] then it would be a motion to suppress because Miranda was violated. [01:53:58.180 --> 01:54:02.180] Your Miranda rights were violated and you weren't told that anything you can say [01:54:02.180 --> 01:54:04.180] can be used against you in the court of law. [01:54:04.180 --> 01:54:09.180] So just from that, I'm realizing that pretty much I've been looking through every state [01:54:09.180 --> 01:54:15.180] and almost every state is doing the same thing, charging people with civil matters as crimes, [01:54:15.180 --> 01:54:18.180] only because people are starting to ask basic questions. [01:54:18.180 --> 01:54:20.180] Well, how can you charge me as a crime? [01:54:20.180 --> 01:54:23.180] Well, how can you hold me here and then say I have to pay a fee [01:54:23.180 --> 01:54:25.180] if this is a civil matter when there's no contract? [01:54:25.180 --> 01:54:28.180] So more people are waking up and so I think they're just getting more corrupt [01:54:28.180 --> 01:54:30.180] and they're just doing more double speak. [01:54:30.180 --> 01:54:33.180] So I just wanted to put my two cents in there. [01:54:33.180 --> 01:54:35.180] Well, certainly they're running scared, that's for sure. [01:54:35.180 --> 01:54:40.180] So it's kind of like cornering a rat, you know, they're going to come out lashing. [01:54:40.180 --> 01:54:44.180] Yes, and another thing that I found out too that some of these judges, [01:54:44.180 --> 01:54:46.180] and I have to get the proof so this is just my opinion. [01:54:46.180 --> 01:54:50.180] I'll start here, but from what I found out, and maybe you guys already know this, [01:54:50.180 --> 01:54:56.180] that a lot of these judges, and even some cops now, when you do give up the tickets, [01:54:56.180 --> 01:55:01.180] I heard that they have private pensions, so they don't pay taxes like we do. [01:55:01.180 --> 01:55:05.180] They have private pensions and they're actually in that slush fund of the courthouse. [01:55:05.180 --> 01:55:08.180] It's like they have some weird tax ID thing that they do. [01:55:08.180 --> 01:55:13.180] And it's almost like it's a big trough and everybody's speeding up in the same trough, [01:55:13.180 --> 01:55:19.180] which is why the attorneys will never defend anybody because the crooked cops, [01:55:19.180 --> 01:55:22.180] the ones that are crooked cannot, because they all are, [01:55:22.180 --> 01:55:25.180] but the crooked cops, the ones that are crooked, are giving them clients. [01:55:25.180 --> 01:55:28.180] And the judges, of course, are backing the attorneys up. [01:55:28.180 --> 01:55:32.180] So when the attorneys are stuck, when you cite real case law, the judges will just say, [01:55:32.180 --> 01:55:34.180] denied, denied, denied. [01:55:34.180 --> 01:55:36.180] And that's what I'm seeing so far. [01:55:36.180 --> 01:55:37.180] All right. [01:55:37.180 --> 01:55:39.180] Well, thank goodness we have appeals process. [01:55:39.180 --> 01:55:40.180] All right. [01:55:40.180 --> 01:55:41.180] Thank you, Rick. [01:55:41.180 --> 01:55:42.180] Thank you. [01:55:42.180 --> 01:55:43.180] All right. [01:55:43.180 --> 01:55:44.180] Keep up the good fight. [01:55:44.180 --> 01:55:45.180] All right. [01:55:45.180 --> 01:55:46.180] We've only got a couple minutes left. [01:55:46.180 --> 01:55:47.180] We're going now to Jerry in Texas. [01:55:47.180 --> 01:55:49.180] Last caller, Jerry. [01:55:49.180 --> 01:55:50.180] Thank you for calling in. [01:55:50.180 --> 01:55:52.180] What is your question for us tonight? [01:55:52.180 --> 01:55:54.180] We'll do the best we can to answer in the time we have left. [01:55:54.180 --> 01:55:55.180] Okay. [01:55:55.180 --> 01:55:56.180] It won't take long. [01:55:56.180 --> 01:56:02.180] I just wanted to know from Eddie when I can call him and talk to him at length about [01:56:02.180 --> 01:56:06.180] our ongoing case that he's familiar with. [01:56:06.180 --> 01:56:09.180] You can call him pretty much anytime, Jerry. [01:56:09.180 --> 01:56:10.180] You tried to call me earlier. [01:56:10.180 --> 01:56:13.180] I do believe this evening, but I was already on the show. [01:56:13.180 --> 01:56:15.180] Yeah. [01:56:15.180 --> 01:56:20.180] Well, I thought it was prior to your show, but I didn't know what time you actually started. [01:56:20.180 --> 01:56:23.180] So, well, eight o'clock, actually. [01:56:23.180 --> 01:56:24.180] Okay. [01:56:24.180 --> 01:56:27.180] Or I may have already been on the phone when you called. [01:56:27.180 --> 01:56:28.180] I forget which. [01:56:28.180 --> 01:56:30.180] I was trying to get wrapped up and ready to get on either way. [01:56:30.180 --> 01:56:34.180] So, but yeah, you can call me anytime tomorrow if you like. [01:56:34.180 --> 01:56:35.180] Okay. [01:56:35.180 --> 01:56:39.180] What time you get up? [01:56:39.180 --> 01:56:43.180] Usually around 9 o'clock and 9.30, considering I don't go to bed till 6 or 6.30. [01:56:43.180 --> 01:56:44.180] Okay. [01:56:44.180 --> 01:56:52.180] Well, we'll call you tomorrow then because we got an attorney hired, but he's telling [01:56:52.180 --> 01:56:54.180] us all the problems we're going to have. [01:56:54.180 --> 01:56:58.180] He's told us about a guy that fought the same fight. [01:56:58.180 --> 01:57:01.180] We're wanting to fight and he spent six months in jail. [01:57:01.180 --> 01:57:04.180] He lost on his appeal and I know the particular guy. [01:57:04.180 --> 01:57:08.180] He wrote a book called the State of Texas is a liar while they had him in jail. [01:57:08.180 --> 01:57:09.180] Well, yeah. [01:57:09.180 --> 01:57:11.180] Pete Daniel Shinzig. [01:57:11.180 --> 01:57:12.180] Yeah. [01:57:12.180 --> 01:57:13.180] Yeah. [01:57:13.180 --> 01:57:17.180] And attorneys are always going to try to scare you so that you'll agree to a plea deal with [01:57:17.180 --> 01:57:18.180] the prosecutor. [01:57:18.180 --> 01:57:19.180] That's just what they do. [01:57:19.180 --> 01:57:23.180] He's threatened with bar grievance and everything, but he's telling us, well, we just hadn't [01:57:23.180 --> 01:57:29.180] got a prayer that I showed him a lot of court cases where it's already been decided you [01:57:29.180 --> 01:57:31.180] have absolute right to travel. [01:57:31.180 --> 01:57:35.180] He said, well, that had to be the one I could find that would pass forward. [01:57:35.180 --> 01:57:36.180] Yeah. [01:57:36.180 --> 01:57:42.180] Well, that's standard MO and Eddie has many dozens of cases on right to travel. [01:57:42.180 --> 01:57:45.180] But yeah, Jerry, that's just standard MO. [01:57:45.180 --> 01:57:50.180] Defense attorneys, whether you hire one or whether the court appointed, it doesn't matter. [01:57:50.180 --> 01:57:58.180] Look, they got one goal in mind to scare you into taking whatever plea deal the prosecutor [01:57:58.180 --> 01:57:59.180] wants to offer. [01:57:59.180 --> 01:58:00.180] That's it. [01:58:00.180 --> 01:58:03.180] And you just have to not buy into their propaganda. [01:58:03.180 --> 01:58:09.180] You just have to be confident and know the law and know the case law and know how to control [01:58:09.180 --> 01:58:10.180] your attorney. [01:58:10.180 --> 01:58:12.180] So yeah, that's just standard MO. [01:58:12.180 --> 01:58:13.180] That's to be expected. [01:58:13.180 --> 01:58:14.180] All right, Jerry. [01:58:14.180 --> 01:58:15.180] Thank you for calling in. [01:58:15.180 --> 01:58:16.180] Oh, good. [01:58:16.180 --> 01:58:17.180] All right. [01:58:17.180 --> 01:58:21.180] Okay, folks, this has been another edition of the rule of law. [01:58:21.180 --> 01:58:23.180] Tonight is Monday, June 6, 2011. [01:58:23.180 --> 01:58:28.180] We will be back on Thursday night, hopefully with Randy. [01:58:28.180 --> 01:58:30.180] Hopefully he will have made it back from Australia. [01:58:30.180 --> 01:58:33.180] I know that he left at some point yesterday. [01:58:33.180 --> 01:58:37.180] I don't know quite how long it's going to take him to get back, but hopefully he'll be [01:58:37.180 --> 01:58:42.180] back on Thursday and all of y'all keep up the good fight. [01:58:42.180 --> 01:58:44.180] Keep up the research. [01:58:44.180 --> 01:58:45.180] Keep your chin up. [01:58:45.180 --> 01:58:47.180] God bless and have a very good week. [01:58:47.180 --> 01:59:16.180] Have a very good night and we'll see y'all on Thursday. [01:59:17.180 --> 01:59:43.180] God bless and have a very good week. [01:59:47.180 --> 01:59:59.180] God bless and have a very good week.
