Meet your strawman


This is the first time I've tried to include a video on a post, so hopefully the link works.

Bystander on the Magistrate's Blog has previously talked about the people who seem to think that they are only bound by Common Law and not by statute. 

They are in a world of their own.  Some people have suggested that they are mentally ill, but they aren't.  The majority seem to be extreme examples of what happens when you know a little bit about a subject... just enough for that knowledge to be harmful.

The lady in the video asks for help.  The only advice I can give is to stop being so silly as to think the law doesn't apply to you.

I don't know who the police officer in the video is, but I must congratulate him on remaining so calm and polite when faced with such an onslaught of utter rubbish.

Incidentally, I have no idea what the title of this post means, but it seems important to people like the lady in the video, you can read more about their very interesting views by following this link.

    Fools on the loose. They terrify me. You might want to look up "Maxims of Law" by Charles A Weisman, which appears to be the (somewhat ephemeral) substance behind their collective delusions. Weisman, btw, was a racist Christian fundie.

    Personally, I like their insistance that because "Dun and Bradstreet" record the existence of an organisation and it has a (shock and horror) "Dun and Bradstreet number", that means it must be a commercial company. The MoJ, Parliament etc.

    That non-commercial organisations buy things therefore people might want to know how good they are at repaying you - the point of D&B, just doesn't occur to them. The wider concept that some government bodies, like most charities, might have a commercial arm to do things that the wider organisation can't is completely alien.

    Freemen of the Land are great.

    This Wiki article is also great:

    The section on their successes sums it up very nicely:

    Brilliant - Look at the point where teh lady says something about Admiralty law and the poor police officer is totally flummoxed. 'We're not on the sea' and then has to seriously keep himself form laughing out loud.

    THe poor lady is very misinformed, but at least the police officer will have a good story to laugh over.

    Here's a newspaper report about a defendant in court in Ireland who was banging on about a lot of the same obsucure concepts when charged with motoring offences. It's very funny: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/0811/1224302232246.html

    Hi there! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog such as yours take a lot of work?
    I'm completely new to blogging however I do write in my journal daily. I'd like to
    start a blog so I can share my personal experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or
    tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

    Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several
    weeks of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to protect against
    hackers?

Are items referred to in s.9’s as exhibits bound to be served?

  Background - CPS served a witness statement on me that exhibited two BWV clips that are potentially relevant to the Crown’s case and may have some relevance to the defence case insofar as they are likely to show the lighting and weather at the time events happened. Somebody has listed the clips as unused material rather than putting them in the exhibits folder that accompanies the served evidence. This raised an interesting (to me anyway) question about whether a party who exhibits an item in a statement is bound to serve it on their opponent. At court the judge took the view that the Crown were at liberty to classify items exhibited in s9s as unused material if they chose not to rely upon them in evidence. I took the view that if they are exhibited then they must be served along with the witness statement that exhibits the item and that the solution to a situation where the Crown say they are now unused is to edit the witness statement to remove the reference, by agreement with ...

Is there twice as much violent crime in the UK versus the USA?

Image
The tweet from Charlie Kirk I came across a screenshot of a Twitter post while on Facebook this morning. The original post now has 11,000 retweets and 23,000 likes on Twitter. As you can see from the picture somebody called Charlie Kirk, who is a right-wing American commentator, claims that there are 933 violent crimes in the UK per 100,000 people. This is more than double the rate he claims for the USA where he says there are only 399 violent crimes per 100,000 people. The UK doesn’t feel that violent to me, so is it true? We’re all gonna die According to the FBI, in 2016 there were 1,248,185 violent crimes committed across the whole of the USA. That is an increase of 4.1% on the 2015 figure but still represented only 386.3 violent crimes per 100,000 people . So, Mr Kirk appears to be slightly overestimating the violent crime in the USA. I should say that I am using the 2016 figures as those are the latest available on the FBI website, so maybe he has slightly differe...

Driving without insurance

Image
Insurance is a contract that remains in force until it expires or is cancelled As you may, or may not, know I specialise in motoring law and most of my work involves defending people accused of drink driving . With the drink driving often come other road traffic offences such as driving while disqualified and driving without insurance. It’s driving without insurance I want to talk about today because I think far too many police officers, solicitors, barristers and judges miss a key legal point when looking at these cases. I’ve received prosecution papers today for somebody accused of driving while disqualified and driving without insurance. The no insurance element is claim that the suspect did not tell the insurer about the disqualification. In his statement, the police officers says, “ [I] contacted [the insurer] who called me back informing me they would not consider the insurance policy valid as there were no convictions disclosed.” Looks like an open an...
