Judges’ trick on ‘right to travel’ defied

Tennessee courts have ruled that every use of a car is “the driving of a motor vehicle,” and that this act is subject to licensure and regulation, regardless of whether the motorist is operating in commerce. A Hixson man is challenging this claim.

The battle of local economy is one in which the promises of the credit economy salesman at the front door so preoccupy us that we scarce pay any attention to the looting of our kitchen cabinets by his sneaker-clad cohort with the bag slung over his shoulder.

A local man recently appeared in a Chattanooga courtroom vainly objecting to an important loss of liberty. To whet your appetite for details, his case is written up in Chattanoogan.com under the headline, “‘Sovereign Citizen’ Questions City Court’s Authority, But Judge Rules Him Guilty On All Counts.” But before we meet him another day I want to tell you about the legal wall he faces.

Government control of the roadways began in the 1910s when New York created a licensing regime that eventually snagged every user of the roads and every motorized conveyance under a regime of permissions and licensure. If we believe the free market actors in this dispute, the state converted cars and trucks into vehicles and the people behind their steering wheels into drivers.



We get into this controversy not hoping vainly to change anything about the status quo. We have lately become aware of free-range chickens being healthier in their egg-laying, and free-range cattle producing better quality meat, such as that sold by the Brady family at St. Alban’s farmer’s market on Saturdays in Hixson. Consider how the free-range motorist may be insisting on health of a different sort, if only to point out what we have lost by way of liberty.

I read this whole thing and now I am not only heard-of-hearing, I got a splitting headache.

If the Police Blotter readers are gluttons for punishment: Go here if one feels the needs to cause one's ears to bleed for no reason.

Has anyone seen Mademoiselle Duke and Mr. Eric Kiesche in the same room, at the same time? Send me a message if you have documentation.

Since Mr. Tulis failed to footnote any information on the so-called Sovereign Citizens Movement ("Movement" is kinda apropos), let me do so here......

Sovereign Citizens Are Extremists

"Redemption Foreclosure Mortgage Fraud"

The "I Hate Everything" Crowd


(I dare you to spend 12:25 minutes to watch the video.)

These murdering, anarchist, right/left wing, racist, jack-booted, extremist thugs, who actually make Mademoiselle Duke look like Little Miss Cubicle Muffet and make the Nazis look like the Red Cross. (There's a pun there, but I am too tired to connect the dots.)

And to think that Mr. Tulis is giving one of their spokesidiots air time puts Mr. Tulis right up there (Just a little less known, yet almost as wordy) with Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels.

Since jabbing a red hot poker into my eye socket seemed less painful than forcing myself to watch the last 60 minutes of the local Nazi Hours on 1240 Copperhead AM, weekdays 1 to 3 p.m, I will stand corrected if Mr. Tulis challenged, in any meaningful manner, the BS Mr. Eric Kiesche was spouting.

Does Walmart carry a cheap red hot poker from eye socket remover like 'As Seen On TV" in the cigarette aisle?
