I recently sent in a public information request and asked them exactly what is the list of municipalities that meet those requirements.

And they actually rephrased it and they said they don't have a list of all the municipalities that meet the requirements.

But they did attach a list that is the currently authorized municipalities.

Anyway, the punchline to this is there's 45 municipalities that are on this list.

I do mean the Texas Constitution because Article 16 is where the power to create municipalities

but these enforcement provisions are set forth in ordinances that the municipalities themselves create, correct?

But under this fact alone, the fact that the legislatures created municipalities under Article 16, which is the general provisions portion of the state Constitution.

The legislature is not authorized to pass such legislation, enabling the municipalities to write ordinances that carry the force and effect of legislative law.

Seguin is one of those municipalities that does not meet any of the requirements for

many amendments, gave the government the authority to incorporate municipalities, okay? And that's

but there's nothing in Constitution that authorizes municipalities to enact law.

You know even local municipalities have as you statutes that are not necessarily voted in by the state legislature

Some municipalities aren't happy with the state's smoke screen.

But before you light up, be forewarned, some municipalities aren't happy with

Yeah, we call those municipalities and city commissioners here.

For instance, municipalities and counties have a population requirement before they can have officers authorized to enforce traffic statutes.

So then I called them back, and they still said it's different municipalities,

And as I was saying before the break, generally in municipalities, they're either a court of record or they're not.

Municipalities don't have that authority.

Yeah, the Transportation Code in Texas specifically forbids municipalities and counties from enacting any ordinances regarding the registration of motor vehicles.

And I was saying there will probably be an Illinois statute to that effect, and then you said you researched the vehicle code there and said that the municipalities can enact specific types of ordinances, but

but the other good reason for that enacting clause is that it prevents local municipalities from running a muck, like is the case here, or county authorities, like sheriff's departments,

otherwise, why even bother having a legislature? Just let the municipalities make their own law. Anybody could. And so the fact that there is no underlying state law that authorizes municipalities to deal with the registration issue,

I have a question about, you know, so-called criminal complaints that these municipalities

It cannot be mandatory because we did not authorize municipalities and counties to create law binding on the people.

Because we did not grant law making authority to the municipalities and the counties

You know, if it's like a municipality, municipalities, corporation, it has to be represented by an attorney.

Okay, this seems to go back to the case you found that said that or somewhere said that municipalities could be sued. Where did you find that?

That is in the municipalities act. That a municipality can sue and be sued. They have no immunity.

Okay, municipalities regularly claim sovereign immunity.

Okay, this is Randy Kelton, Debra Steed and John Craig with Oladio, and we're talking about how municipalities cannot mean political entities.

The municipal courts, especially in these larger municipalities and the justice courts for that matter, are completely skipping over the requirements of 1570 and Chapter 16 as if they're irrelevant and don't exist.

And the police are becoming emboldened and the municipalities are using this traffic

That's exactly what these courts have ruled on behalf of municipal cops and the municipalities

For instance, here in Texas, there are some municipalities that have tried to put everything on a traffic citation that is required to be in a criminal complaint in and by the name of the state of Texas against the peace and dignity of the state and everything in between.

Most cities, most municipalities in the nation now are part of this Ickley,

He kind of worked over the local municipalities just for the fun of it.

Municipalities are not their own independent nation states.

it's illegal for the municipalities to accept federal grant money at all.

It's not authorized by state statute. The municipalities are not their own independent nation states.

It's actually illegal because, as I mentioned before, cities, municipalities, towns, they are not their own sovereign, independent nation states.

The municipalities are subject to the state legislatures, period.

And the only ordinances that municipalities can enact that are not based on state law are basically like rules of employment.

and what do our municipalities...

directly to our municipalities to implement it.

And it is a great concern that they seem to be bypassing the state governments and somewhat even the federal government and going directly to the municipalities.

Where does the local municipalities and county sheriffs get the authority to accept bribe money from the federal government?

and I've been in front of, you know, several municipalities.

this has given me so much information that I've been able to be several different municipalities in this area.

all these municipalities are constantly seeking more ways to find revenue.

And now I'm to the point where, you know, and I just got some more harassing involvement with the municipalities. So I want to go ahead and pursue the other avenue, which is to mitigate, you know, to these people.

school boards, municipalities, counties, states, and the national system all function federally.

And we have counties and municipalities writing ordinances that look like law.

The municipalities want to use their position to see how much money they can steal from us

For especially local municipalities

and money we're in a recession we're in a serious recession the states and municipalities

And local municipalities and such

There's also no authority in the Constitution delegating such enforcement powers through a private police force to municipalities or counties.

Using jurisdiction for municipalities.

Randy said you were the guy to talk to about challenging jurisdiction and municipalities.

It's just for a municipality for the kind of stuff you we know the subject matter is not municipalities. It's the offense

Yes. That's one of the things that the municipalities and the counties and the states waive their

And in some municipalities, they do the same thing.

co-planet would like to do, they're known for defending municipalities and they usually win.

Okay, okay. Here in Texas, the legislature appears to have given authority to the municipalities to write law. Our argument is that's ultra-virus.

Okay, the reason I ask about the other was I like to beat up the municipalities and the local authorities, but sometimes we to pay attention.

Our founders did not envision, you know, they knew about municipalities because when they wrote the constitutions, we actually had cities.

And they chose not to grant this authority to municipalities.

Now I realize that it became administratively convenient to allow local municipalities to

I have the law that even created them in the 25, actually, I'm sorry, this goes back to 1876. I found that online where municipalities could even be, were created.

things that municipalities are and what they can do. But there is one very specific provision

Traffic Show. We are talking about municipalities and ordinances, and we will be right back.

But then again, the counties have limited resources compared to most municipalities.

Hence the reason why, especially if you're within their limits, they send you to the municipalities.

The municipalities would have a much bigger network as far as other cities to talk to about it than the county would, believe it or not.

This actual thing for creating municipalities, Article 11, is very, very short.

Now in that same type of case law, there's case law that specifically says municipalities operate in one of two capacities, okay?

Municipalities in Texas in their city charters specifically waive immunity from suit.

It specifically says municipalities can sue and be sued in any court of this state.

Municipalities function in two ways, as a governmental entity and also as a corporation.

What the state constitution allows regarding municipalities.

Texas courts have ruled that all municipalities operate in either a

Well, the thing is, is it all depends on how the municipalities do their record keeping.

It applies to municipalities.

but it says that it reserves the right to the municipalities in order to, in the eye of safety, to regulate golf cart use.

The problem we have is that the municipalities make way too much money enforcing the traffic laws

Most of our municipalities would bankrupt

Well, Randy, I want to make a comment here about this issue with the municipalities and the taxes and all this kind of stuff

Yeah, there's a certain company in a certain state that everybody is familiar with that is involved with most of these municipalities.

It was one of these red light automated traffic enforcement tickets that the local municipalities

and right now we have active suits against six different municipalities in Texas

they don't have a separate independent charter and the home rule municipalities

uh we share information with other municipalities and even other states

Isn't it funny how all these municipalities- Oh, sure they can when they got a budget

This is something a lot of municipalities and counties are going back and doing.

The traffic enforcement is an incredible source of revenue for counties and municipalities

You're going to face difficulty right off the bat because of municipalities and those who are collecting these fines and fees and penalties.

So there are seven little municipalities.

Against the Real Parties of Interest, the municipalities

from these very cities and municipalities

There's nothing in the state constitution that allows here in Texas, they can create municipalities

Municipalities don't issue it.

And they've also got ties to municipalities with counties that, yeah, you're facing Goliath

financials he invests in all the municipalities and is under his jurisdiction.

I've contacted two states so far and they're claiming that there are no charters for any of the minute municipalities for that state for the towns and villages on there.

You have to figure out what types of municipalities state law authorizes and then how each of those municipalities is governed and what paperwork is required to make it such.

you take that ruling and apply it to what the the various municipalities and states are doing

They simply allow states, cities, municipalities to run over the rights that they have.

Here in Texas, there are different classifications of municipalities.

Where general law municipalities are created according to state statute.

The one question I have for you, Eddie, is do local municipalities come under the legislative

And then when we move to the municipalities and the counties, not every municipality in county is authorized by law to enforce traffic code.

where they've authorized the municipalities to have reciprocity

Someone was asking the question about how municipalities pay their judges to prosecute

If it worked as such and everyone stopped committing the offenses, these municipalities

But if these so-called municipalities are sending letters through the mail, if somebody out there is willing enough to go through the process, it probably doesn't take that much.

The problem is, municipalities cannot create law.

Yeah. And see, here in Texas, the Texas courts try to protect municipalities,

local municipalities discovered that this was a very handy source of revenue.

a problem with our municipalities and counties taking laws that were intended to govern one

Now, they've tried to allow for municipalities to create ordinances regulating that at the local level.

as well as Article 11, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution, where it specifically prohibits municipalities from doing anything that violates any provision of the Texas Constitution.

My experience with counties and especially municipalities is they never, ever follow

Court ruled in a couple of cases that municipalities can't exert any acts of ownership over property

Now, in relation to the powers given to municipalities under Article 11 of the Texas Constitution,

If they incarcerate you now, one of the few things that municipalities

I mean, in some municipalities they're allowed to, people are, quote, allowed to film, okay,

get their mind off the concept of the local government code authorizes municipalities

for municipalities to issue citations based upon red light camera violations.

See, the problem is a lot of these so-called debt collectors for these municipalities

But in any case, what does the Indiana Constitution say about the power of municipalities and who creates law in Indiana?

municipalities cannot create binding law if the Constitution didn't give them the power to create law.

and the municipalities of fraud under the United States mail statutes

Yeah. Most of these municipalities, if the Fed does what it should do,

the Fed could come down on these municipalities like a ton of bricks.

And the RICO works because we have a criminal conspiracy between the municipalities,

with how the municipalities have used Chapter 707. The first thing being that Chapter 707

the municipalities and the red light camera companies take in massive amounts of windfall

Before municipalities were incorporated and authorized by the Constitution to do the things they do through a city charter

the local municipalities can't do anything about it because it's private.

This one says the Supreme Court ruled that municipalities cannot exert any acts of

But there was nothing in there that even remotely resembled the Supreme Court rule that municipalities

municipalities from requiring the registration of motor vehicles and private automobiles.

Well, if the state has forbidden municipalities to do what they just did today, then somebody's going to jail

because it deals with municipalities not having immunity for their unconstitutional acts. So if

So in all of your little municipalities like my beloved Castroville, Texas, my beloved Hondo, my beloved Bandera, there are no police officers which are authorized to enforce Texas transportation code in this state.

The municipalities in Texas have no authority to make binding public law, none.

Nowhere in Article 11, which allows the creation of municipalities,

The fact of the matter is, I personally fail to see how the state or the municipalities can enforce any of those regulations on private property.

but also gave it to municipalities, to the governor, blah, blah, blah. Baloney. I went

the Texas constitution in relation to municipalities is that it relates to their internal functions.

I have read numerous articles where municipalities and counties are requiring people to purchase permits to camp on their own property. You got that?

And yet the Texas police departments in the various municipalities and counties

And that's one of the claims for which municipalities waive their sovereign immunity.

But when you bring this subject up to one of them, what they say is that the legislature can authorize municipalities and counties to levy ad valorem taxes.

they say that the legislature has the power to authorize school boards, municipalities, and counties to levy this tax on your property, the ad valorem property tax.

because traffic tickets is such a social money for all of these municipalities and such, they're really going to fight you.

The bigger municipalities, we don't have that problem.

municipalities all over. It's probably not even enacted into state law.

anything that the municipalities attempt to create and call bonding public law is a violation of Article 3.

Yet you see municipalities and counties setting taxes on property that is not only untaxable

In fact, the term ordinance appears exactly once in each of Articles 9 dealing with counties and 11 dealing with municipalities.

Within Article 11, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution, which is 100% dedicated to municipalities,

we read the following in relation to municipalities.

municipalities, counties, agencies, school boards as law

There's one place where the states, municipalities, counties

And most municipalities or most governmental agencies require that you give them 60 days notice.

In any area of law where there is a public law and it's made by the state, the municipalities

So even though the legislature said municipalities can create ordinances relating to parking,

And these smaller courts, especially the smaller municipalities, they don't have the deep pockets

These Texas police departments and municipalities are committing fraud through the United States

or municipalities.

Now we know that counties and municipalities attempt to use their ordinances as if they

Counties and municipalities are only acting governmentally when they are directly acting

So how do we get police officers in municipalities?

At no point in time whatsoever did we ever delegate any lawmaking power to counties or municipalities.

Now, we know that counties and municipalities attempt to use their ordinances as if they are public law, but that would be a violation of the Texas Constitution, both the Bill of Rights and the separation of powers.

Counties and municipalities are only acting governmentally when they are directly acting as agents of the state under state law and authority. Ordinances do not qualify as state law and state law authority. They just don't.

So how do we get police officers in municipalities?

most of these little municipalities around this area, that would have never gotten off

and it's conclusive orders and it's directed to the municipalities and everything,

And they regulate laws for the municipalities and all authorities that municipalities have

So unless your state Constitution authorizes counties and municipalities to create law in the form of ordinances,

A police officer of any of the following municipalities

A police officer of any of the following municipalities can apply for certification under this section. None of those apply.

the county constables, and the municipalities do not have the authority to enforce the transportation code unless they have been specifically certified

That means the municipalities and the county sheriffs and stuff, they can't just pull you over for the heck of it and inspect you.

These are all things that these entities under most statutes in most municipalities and counties

The parking enforcement, like you said, are operating upon the municipalities, which is corporations, not that of the state.

You've got to remember, all municipalities, counties, and states are incorporated now.

which we know that that's not true for states and counties and municipalities. They're all for profit.

Why are municipalities and cities incorporated?

Neither 655 nor this section prohibit municipalities from maintaining and

No municipalities shall require any person who does not reside within the

So you're saying that in Tennessee the municipalities have been strictly

With that aside, it sounds like in Tennessee municipalities have been

I can't find no time where it gives the city municipalities authority.

We have allowed municipalities to create standing armies of municipal cops who will do anything for that paycheck.

Once a officer who is employed by one of these municipalities that meets the requirement,

Yes, it is. The municipalities had hearings on it. The developer was asked explicitly

municipalities that appear to have the capacity to have one are San Antonio, Austin, Dallas,

Well, that was a problem for these municipalities because they had all this stuff they wanted

So these municipalities have been collecting a lot of money for a long time to the point

A police officer of any of the following municipalities is eligible to apply for certification under

Okay, here's where it gets interesting. You have these municipalities enforcing the Transportation Code without authority.

and multiple times in one day for inspections. And it appears that these municipalities are over enforcing and that they only received a half of a billion in funds from these nine cities.

I mean, it may be insane, but that's how it is, the law really says that, so the municipalities,

all the stuff that's not reported by these municipalities, they're just stealing from

So I'm looking at municipalities that's got a number of them, Hillsboro. Hillsboro had three or four

They probably are. I suspect the cops are listing. Once we launch this thing, we will be, you know, the municipalities create lists for lawyers. They list all of the people who got tickets in their contact information so the lawyer can solicit them for business

It is a cash cow for the municipalities.

Our research shows that municipalities in Texas have no grant of authority to enforce

As false imprisonment, all municipalities, all government agencies across the country,

I will set you up with a white-labeled website. You go to your local municipalities, get their lawyer lists and mailings out.

And interestingly enough, it was addressing traffic, but it addressed municipalities who were enforcing certain provisions of the transportation code and they were required.

And this article was concerned with the fact that these municipalities were getting complaints from truck drivers of being pulled over multiple times in one day for vehicle inspections.

And they felt that the municipalities were over-enforcing the code, and then they were collecting fees and not remitting those fees back to the Department of Public Safety under the Texas Administrative Code Section 4.14 and 13 and 14 that are certain municipal officers to do DOT safety inspections.

The lady chimes back in first. The cases are legal opinions involving the court system and the risk management of municipalities. No, that's not what they are.

In that case, they all municipalities and government agencies have waived their sovereign

the same, because when they put these entities in place, we didn't have all these municipalities

And then the municipalities picked this up and started using it to make a lot of money

Problem these local municipalities have is they know that the feds do this kind of stuff.

Low level judges, they get hired by municipalities and local governments, and they're just employees.

Because he failed to even allege that the other municipalities provide access to such documents within business hours or in 10 days of a PIR filing.

And then you have the judge. The judge is always a practicing attorney, especially in these bigger municipalities.

And the other thing they'll do is they'll go to local municipalities and try to get hired as a prosecutor attorney.

these large municipalities are doing, how they're doing it,

But that's not the problem because the problem is the individual municipalities don't care.

it only conditionally gave municipalities authority to prosecute motor vehicle law violations

moving on suing municipalities when he gets tickets and they don't follow code, so we're

that he cannot be the sharpest knife in the drawer but he is crowning him the municipalities

The larger municipalities can afford a full-time prosecutor.

around in the municipalities rather than out making the big bucks.

So in order for the municipalities to enforce, I'm asking them to show the same authority

And all their contracts with all these municipalities, they're going to lose them all.

since the municipalities have decided to enact these ordinances that they call

They have 1000 members and I figured they should have at least 10 times that because there's many times more municipalities in the state of Texas.

There is no authority in the Texas constitution anywhere authorizing counties or municipalities

Right now, the Texas courts, these kangaroo traffic courts and these municipalities and JPs have just become so blatantly corrupt in their practice that it's ridiculous

Okay, now we all know how the municipalities

Alright, so when it comes to cities and municipalities, unless they're having an open

People need to realize that municipalities are not independent little phythomes.

Okay, municipalities are not little independent kingdoms or nation states.

Why? Good question. Is there an answer? Well, they wanted to let the local municipalities

suits he had he ensued these suit a judge and sued a couple of municipalities and the

And Scott Richardson filed a bunch of lawsuits against some local municipalities over tickets.

appeals ruled that municipalities and justice of the peace courts could use complaints alone

Scott filed suit against three different entities where they're all municipalities or just two

And while the legislature delegated its power to write law to municipalities, they did not

So a lot of municipalities will have strict requirements for disposal of these toxic waste and require you to be licensed and set up and have a proper means for dealing with this sort of thing

Okay, so some municipalities have zoning, others don't, I remember it was a big problem in Houston, there was no zoning

That's not going to fly because as municipalities grow, they annex area as the city limits grow outward and they implement new zoning and this, I'm sorry to say, but this is how cities are built.

Are slated to put an end to restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms? That are slated on putting an end to allowing our municipalities to act as if they are the legislature?

And unlike many other places that we don't have a county police force here in New Jersey, every little town's got their own and there's over 500 municipalities.

And the legislature delegated lawmaking powers to municipalities.

It'll get to where the municipalities just simply cannot hire a personnel because we're

And so the thing is, these municipalities and these private companies can do whatever

and stuff like that, then you can take it into court and sue the PUC and sue the municipalities

and it was basically that legislature cannot delegate its authority to municipalities to pass laws, which are ordinances.

to sue the municipalities, to sue the city council, to sue the government,

And then it becomes municipalities. And within the county, there can be subdivisions as well.

Also, I believe in the statute, it also says that the municipalities actually get,

Well, it makes no sense at all considering municipalities don't have a rest authority for warrants as far as throwing you in jail goes.

First would be whether or not you think that these municipalities have a pecuniary interest

but go to work for one of the local municipalities

Is that a new tactic of these municipalities?

I'm having someone with a case where we challenged the constitutionality of the legislature authorizing municipalities to write law.

They didn't authorize the municipal municipalities to enforce it. Now some states have like Georgia, for instance, by producers from Georgia,

was in the form of supervisory neglect because they're letting their municipalities just

All municipalities fall under the county. Okay, hold on. Are you talking about, okay,

the lawyers, for the prosecuting attorneys for these municipalities and the judges, is

And they're the ones that provide the insurance for the municipal court for the municipalities.

law enforcement of municipalities and counties.

Usually only municipalities engage in zoning,

The state of Texas does not levy your property taxes. Who does? Your counties and your municipalities.

Yes, but anyway, but most of them were in the larger city jurisdictions, so municipalities

they're kind of re-reporting from what the municipalities tell them.

Otherwise the statute clearly allows municipalities to contract with entities to collect.

or the municipalities or other political subdivisions, the question now becomes

hired guns so that municipalities can supposedly keep law and order and make lots of money.

The municipalities for the most part, the prosecutions in municipal court are not these

Big money, how many small municipalities out there could tolerate a million dollar suit?

Where does the Texas Constitution give municipalities the authority to create binding public law?

and they are only internal to municipalities.

So you look it up in the statute and they, they, they say right out in the spirit of the 11th article, you know, we want these municipalities to give them this freedom.

And this is how they do it. And this shall be liberally construed in favor of the villages or the municipalities.

Okay, a question. Is the list of matters that are of statewide concerns exclusive, meaning that anything that's not included in this list, the municipalities can address in a multiple?

in my mind, if they have other issues that are of statewide concern that they don't want the municipalities messing around with, to me they have a duty to identify these.

pressuring all the municipalities to start removing them and since the red

or can local municipalities do it? It's my understanding that.

but they did delegate the power to municipalities and allowed municipalities to make law.

Delegated that to the municipalities, and we're saying they didn't have the authority to delegate the lawmaking power.

for the municipalities and the local governments. They'll start enforcing traffic the way it

Now the legislature could have passed into law a set of rules for municipalities and

create binding public law and they cannot delegate that power to anyone, including municipalities

You said that they represent a lot of municipalities, you need to find out all the municipalities that they represent, and then start hammering those municipalities with information requests.

But he's close to retirement and he's still running around to local municipalities, grubbing for dollars.

that those officers departments and the municipalities they work for do not qualify under title 37

they just don't yeah okay but my point here is this certain municipalities it's 99.9 percent of

the municipalities but not all of them and and I've noticed that uh specifically when it talks

But these municipalities, these government officials,

We need we need to get together and we need to kind of beat up these municipalities that don't even qualify to

provisions for the counties and the municipalities. Right. So it's government code

And mostly municipalities, you never get to see the judge, even though the citation, you know, explicitly says you're supposed to appear before the magistrate.

if you don't know the judge's name. Some of these municipalities these small little towns even in

PIRs to some of the municipalities and stuff around where I live, where I expect to run

his little municipalities over there, and Sheriff's offices over there.

Okay, there is no conflict before the court, as the state constitution specifically prohibits municipalities from creating binding public law.

Right, but I think whenever they contract with several different municipalities to defend

It authorizes a municipal police officer from one of the municipalities to immediately qualifications of Section A to...

and with respect to municipal police officers and which municipalities even qualify to certify peace officers via the DPS.

And the Texas Municipal League lawyer, the Municipal League is the agency that bonds all of the municipalities and provides their intermissions policies.

Just like for municipalities, like the little cities and stuff.

That's all designed for municipalities to facilitate their dealing with things that are not crimes.

Because these municipalities and such

we give municipalities exactly that in the form of police departments.

I had not previously done issues with municipalities.

I learned some about how to handle municipalities.

They went into the hearing. It wasn't in Houston Properties and it's one of the municipalities down there.

Am I wrong to conclude? I mean, municipalities are corporations. Are they not? Wouldn't they fall into that?

But generally, if you look at the way the law is done, most municipalities that are general law municipalities where they actually are their own little internal government.

The case law in Texas is very clear that these municipalities cannot exercise any power that is not specifically expressed in their charter.

So local municipalities and local counties started enforcing transportation code. But I really don't think it was to make money.

But over time, municipalities started picking it up.

Where do municipalities get the authority to enforce a professions code?

So some municipalities and jurisdictions have passed decibel limits.

and they also handle it for certain municipalities within those states, etc., etc.

well okay the legislation says that they can expand the municipalities can some municipalities

says that municipalities can sue and be sued be plea and impleted they can plea and be impleted

to be contacted by these municipalities and justices of the peace and say I want you to collect on

You turn that into a notice and send it to all of the municipalities, they got notice.

Yeah, and that's what we need to do is start putting all these municipalities, which brings

cities, municipalities or corporations, you know, and we had this big long speak about

Well, this guy's done some passive homework and talking about all these municipalities

these municipalities, and it's called a CAFR, it's Comprehensive Annual Financialry.

Municipalities and counties that prosecute you get 4% of the $50, which is $2

Okay, so municipalities and counties are getting to keep part of the money, and they're getting to keep the interest that money accrues while they're holding it to turn it over to the state

down here in the municipalities growing for dollars okay you start to say something josh uh yeah i'd

against the civil servants here in the municipalities and do it, you know. And so I thought, well, if I file a declaratory judgment over there where I've been filing in the United States federal court, they might get that back to me.

and then they granted the municipalities the power to write ordinances

here in the municipalities and do it, you know?

So did you find other lawsuits from actual law firms and attorneys going after similar entities like municipalities or public officials and read that lawsuit to see how they wrote it in order to write yours?

in our counties and some of our mayors and municipalities, they have really started to

He said we're not going to do that, we're going to let the individual municipalities

in various counties and municipalities that don't have anything to enforce them.

municipalities, okay, but for sure at least at the state level they do have the authority

municipalities or you know the mayors are uh they're you know issuing orders ordinances and stuff that

not do they even assign these little municipalities even assign uh yeah okay so yeah okay after

little municipalities around texas where their little mayors are standing up pretending

emergency you're having all the way down to your local municipalities engaging in fraud

just wanted to talk about the like your local mayor your local municipalities

Because if they were, they wouldn't be down here in the municipalities grubbing for dollars.

the state troopers, the Department of Public Safety, municipalities would report that there

question was I've seen this kind of thing in Texas too where certain municipalities pass

And the code doesn't say anything about municipalities

that means they're not the sharpest knife in the drawer or they'd be out there making the big box instead of down in the municipalities grubbing for dollars.

Local municipalities and counties, county judges

a lawsuit for which the state and all of the municipalities and counties have a lawsuit

And they also have, some of these municipalities have multiple judges, so there'll be like a few associate judges and one head judge, and you can make them aware of each other's indiscretions, and then they're all in trouble for not having reported their buddies.

So Brett, imagine you're in the legislature and you have these municipalities coming to

I did have a couple of municipalities that did answer, and when they did,

There's two or three of them that must be passed back and forth between the Department of Public Safety and the municipalities.

So it will really be touchy with the municipalities

Because the way these municipalities work and these states, whatever, they work under presumptions that you're one of theirs and all their codes and statutes apply to you, like Eddie would say that they don't.

municipalities in the county that have a police department. I will be talking to those two chiefs,

So far I have, there are 5 municipalities with police departments

But I don't want to include municipalities.

sheriff and I didn't want to go after the municipalities. So they're doing the same

making the big bucks. He wouldn't be down here at the municipalities grubbing for dollars.

created municipal courts. But the legislature authorized municipalities to write ordinances.

And I didn't go after any of the municipalities

And if they ask me why I'm not filing against the municipalities

has authorized municipalities to write ordinances. They don't call them ordinances for no good

So municipalities can write ordinances. And ordinances only apply to the municipality,

And that's the problem with municipalities.

Municipalities or counties, and that's why they call them ordinances and not laws.

Well, the governor says that no municipalities can force you to run, but I guess the private business is still going?

Is he rents out his sheriff's deputies to various municipalities, but Irvine is big enough.

It doesn't mean anything about local municipalities, sheriff's departments or anything else except for the traffic enforcement provisions under I think it's 543 that deal with sheriff's deputies.

Now, if you've been listening to this show for any length of time at all, you know that the Texas Constitution did not give municipalities any power to create binding public law.

Now, when it comes to municipalities laying taxes, let's see what section 5 says.

Yeah, I think the bond carrier here in Michigan, I think it's almost like a single state run one for all the municipalities

Okay, if it is a state run one for all the municipalities, they're going to have a bond rating for each municipality

That they cannot do unless your state constitution specifically authorizes municipalities or their ordinances to be treated the same as law.

Nowhere in the transportation code do they delegate authority to municipalities and counties,

page title 53 municipalities general part one preliminary provisions and then

but now they call them municipalities seems more often still find the word

Because the state constitution does not give municipalities the power to make law.

You mentioned municipalities have no authorization to enact laws unless the state legislature

Now, whether or not municipalities have that, I've got to look it up.

Why do you think municipalities had to have their own courts?

municipalities it specifically states that no city charter can have a provision that violates

to create and establish other courts to the municipalities themselves and they cannot do that

And the legislature has authorized municipalities and counties to create ordinances.

If they apply them to the general public, that makes it a law, and municipalities and corporation courts or commissioners courts can't write law, and the legislature cannot delegate that power to them either.

But that's the basic thing for seeing how, you know, state's supposed to look at municipalities. And it's still basically that way, but, you know, a few modifications so it can't, you know, be abusive about it.

The local political subdivisions, the counties and the municipalities that are assessing the taxes and collecting them and putting the leans on properties are in tortuous interference with that agreement.

It allowed the municipalities, the municipal corporation, or the county corporation

charter either now the articles of incorporation you got to remember municipalities have different

To the municipalities the power to create courts

They authorized municipalities

And cities municipalities and

when it comes to municipalities yeah and and county's trying to come after you

So we're basically looking at the Pennsylvania legislature delegates something to the municipalities.

And then municipalities are basically delegating their health policy to private companies and to non-profits, which...

They have allowed municipalities and counties to write ordinances.

One is, I know Alphonse says that, you know, municipal regulations are something that, like, basically municipalities don't have any authority over us.

The legislature has authorized municipalities and counties to write ordinances.

So what they've done is authorized municipalities and counties to write ordinances.

But local municipalities, they put up these cameras and they start writing

and then the municipalities follow the state law, there is no law for the code enforcement office

rulings that we can use against municipalities.

Municipalities and counties to write

So what they did was authorized municipalities

We know that in municipalities, they have to go and

Apparently they have an inside track to do this reporting and these municipalities do.

And does the New Jersey Constitution allow municipalities to write law?

it does specifically authorize municipalities to write law.

And the legislature passed these laws in the government code that said that municipalities could pass ordinances.

Look at Massachusetts law and see if municipalities are authorized to enforce, to create law.

I am saying this because we looked at Ohio law, and it specifically authorized municipalities to write law relative to the municipality.

And unless something very specific gives municipalities the authority to write law as opposed to ordinance, you could very well back them up quickly and get the higher courts.

Now we're dealing with small municipalities here.

all larger municipalities have become courts of record,

Most small municipalities are not courts of record.

to create courts to the municipalities to create them by ordinance,

claiming that the ordinances did not apply to a private citizen, that ordinances were enacted by municipalities and not by the legislature.

Only the legislature can enact law. They allowed municipalities to enact ordinances.

The municipalities and the counties are just authorizing their officers to just en masse

So they must do a lot of collections for municipalities.

They incorporated DC, but they just incorporated a bunch of municipalities all into one.

We still rule by law, and an ordinance does not, in effect, have any impact on anyone except for the police departments who are paid by municipalities or counties

But these municipalities use them anyway because it takes a while for someone to raise the issue.

The issue is with the, I don't have a problem with the, suing the municipalities and the police

the false imprisonment of the private corporation so that, and then join the municipalities once

to the public because the legislature was authorized to write law. The municipalities were

allowed municipalities to write ordinances. But if they applied those ordinances to the public

court and the precinct, the municipalities sent the transcripts over to the appeals court.

so he goes down to the local cities or municipalities

Texas about municipalities doing whatever they want to

And I'm going to use municipalities as an example.

the subject municipalities, which establishes the subject that the Ministry of Municipal

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs created now can create the statute for municipalities,

The legislature authorized municipalities and counties to write ordinances.

So these municipalities and counties can write all these ordinances they want to.

over the municipalities.

And the municipalities, which used to be a body politic, became corporations.

because the municipalities are probably the most devoid of the,

Municipalities and counties can't write law so they write ordinances.

They're trying to make, build up its reputation so they can sell it for domestic use to municipalities

Does your state constitution give municipalities and counties the ability to create local ordinances

They are not authorized to delegate that authority. Now they allowed municipalities to write ordinances.

What I don't know is how municipalities and counties in New York get authorization to write ordinances. Do you know about that?

state constitution specifically authorizes municipalities and counties to make laws binding

Do a search in your state constitution for municipalities, and then you will find a reference

in there where the municipalities are allowed to make certain local laws for certain things,

I just put in municipal because that way I find municipality and municipalities plural.

That's for municipalities.

John, do not put in municipalities and counties.

If your state constitution does not explicitly give municipalities and counties in New York

They're more strict in the state law about grass height than the local municipalities.

say squat about municipalities or counties.

or municipalities, yes.

And then you look at any part of the, your constitution that deals with municipalities

and see if there are any exceptions in that part of the constitution for municipalities

had a house you had little or no services provided to you by the cities municipalities the cities

If the constitution did not give municipalities and counties authority to write law, and if

code, statutes, they just do, all the municipalities do are ordinances.

They allowed, they authorized municipalities and counties to issue ordinances, but they

for code, strict your locally, but they cannot make them less strict. So the municipalities

municipalities can write law. Texas does not have that. So in Texas, only the legislature

can write law. And in Ohio, municipalities and county commissioners can apparently write

sovereign immunity for municipalities and counties or for governmental agencies.

Subsection C a justice court has concurrent jurisdiction with a municipal court in criminal cases that arise in the municipalities extraterritorial jurisdiction and that arise under an ordinance of the municipality applicable to the extraterritorial jurisdiction under section two sixteen point nine oh two of the local government code.

And section two six regulation of outdoor signs in municipalities extraterritorial jurisdiction.

So that section deals only with signage notice that arise under the municipality criminal cases under the municipalities extraterritorial jurisdiction and that arise under an ordinance relating to section two one six point nine oh two.

However the rest of that article deals with municipal courts and their authority over bonds municipal courts and their authority to make agreements with other municipalities for offenses within certain distances of the demarcation lines between the two municipalities.

literally destroy these municipalities stealing money from people.

be out making the big bucks and not down here in the municipalities grubbing for dollars.

Yeah, absolutely. So speaking the information we do for your request to the municipalities, and you know what, I'll have more questions on that. I really want to pursue that.

But what that'll do, if I get my lawsuits against the municipalities down, JPs for traffic,

If they were, they'd be out making the big bucks and not down here in the municipalities

and municipalities and how many police officers?

and LLCs, corporations, municipalities, creatures of the state, as they call it.

compels the conclusion that Congress did not intend municipalities

Congress did intend municipalities and other local government units

Governmental units like county governments and municipalities

Municipalities and counties, they do not fall under.

However, municipalities and local governments are not vicariously liable

Municipalities never have a good treatment plant.

They only have immunity from certain suits for damages, and municipalities and local

And the legislature passed law authorizing municipalities or municipal corporations and

All of these municipalities and counties would have a huge, their revenue would fall off

they used it as a transitive verb, not as a noun. They said we have 10 municipalities

these municipalities are doing, they're committing crime. I agree with you. It's, it's for, especially

allowing for abuse. And since 2008, these, these municipalities across the country,

municipalities in general is they spend money on things that they shouldn't be spending at all.

Municipalities funding

And you can prove it, which you can do easily because the majority of the counties in municipalities are in violation of their own charter.

Once you do that, I actually was chasing down these local municipalities and who was

It was a big outfit and they were representing a whole bunch of municipalities.
