Right to Remain Silent

If you didn't know it, most of what you say when a "police officer" pulls you over is what gets you in to trouble. I am highly considering the "Right to Remain Silent" as an act of getting away from citations and other things. If I were to sincerely follow my conscience and not allow my fear to take over I would present a card, similar to the one displayed here, the next time I am pulled over along with the phone number to a friend who has read the book "The Right to Travel" maybe a member of the yahoo group "No-Drivers-License" and is some what familiar with the concept of inalienable rights. This way a friend who is not as effected by the situation and is more calm being removed from the situation can tell the officer everything that you want to say. And if they screw up you can always deny what they said as binding for you.

Or I think the next time I have the bright flashing lights on me I may react the same way I would react to any person with a gun I perceive to be unsafe. According to the supreme court you have the right to protect your personal liberty the same way you would protect your life because 'your life is not worth living if you don't have liberty'. And anytime you are being pulled over you are being forced to give up your liberty of travel, in most cases without a justified cause. I think calling 911 would be a good option and at least get a Sergeant out to you and then stop at a gas station where you have lights, cameras and spectators all for your safety (in case by this point they want to beat you) and for witnesses. Then I would also pull the "Right to Remain Silent". This way they have to do everything by the book with their superior there. If I were asked to step out of the vehicle I might ignore that or reply with "I am sorry I am not sure if I understand what you are asking nor do I feel competent to obey since I am not very familiar with what you mean by the legal term vehicle; nor am I sure that I am in a vehicle being that I travel in a vessel." By this point if they don't have a warrant and have not confirmed that you have waived your rights via the "Driver's License", they have to have you do everything voluntarily, and if you don't want to volunteer your money or your time or effort; I predict they would let you go if you haven't done anything to serious because they rather not waste their time. In addition I would hope to have some kind of audio recorder so I can record everything for evidence later. Hopefully I would also have a witness with me.

DRIVE SAFELY... whatever that means :)

"Right to Travel" a book on why you don't need to register your car or get a license backed by supreme court decisions can be found at the Law Research Group's web page at http://www.lawresearchgroup.com/cart/product.php?productid=77&cat=1&page=5

The No Drivers License group on yahoo discusses issues concerning this very thing. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/No-Drivers-License/
