Seizing the Power: Defending Your Rights in an Unlawful Police Encounter

In today's world, unlawful police conduct is a pressing issue. We The People are waking up to their rights and standing strong against overreach. But what should you do when faced with unjust actions by police officers? The answer is clear: don’t stay silent—take action!


Understanding Article III Common Law Claims


To effectively respond to unlawful police actions, it's crucial to grasp the idea of an Article III common law claim. Many believe that "court" refers to the traditional judicial system. However, the term can also apply to administrative tribunals operating under Article I of the U.S. Constitution.

The rights you can assert are predominantly found within Article III common law courts. When you file a claim under Article III, your case cannot be dismissed...ever.


This means neither the clerk nor the judge can sidestep the process when faced with your claim.


The Nature of Proceedings


In an Article III court, you take the lead. Forget about the motions that fill traditional courtrooms; here, you make direct demands.


The police officer involved in your case must respond to those demands plainly and clearly.


The judge serves more as a facilitator than a decision-maker. While there is still order in the courtroom, you are not bound by the complex rules of civil procedure typically found in other court systems.


It's important to remember that judges typically cannot rule on motions from officers because they lack standing in Article III courts. With no lawyers present—just you, the officer, and your right to a common law jury—the balance of power shifts significantly in your favor.


The Role of the Jury


Consider an interesting statistic: approximately 70% of jurors believe that they should have the authority to question the legitimacy of police actions, especially in traffic stops.


In common law, if a jury is fully aware of your rights and there are no laws genuinely broken, they are likely to question the rationale behind the officer's actions. This stands in stark contrast to administrative courts, where your rights may not hold the same weight.


Consent and Legal Realities


This brings us to a crucial point: many encounters with police hinge on the consent you provide. Traffic violations often feel more like money-making opportunities for the state than legitimate safety concerns.


For example, when you acquire a commercial driver’s license, you are entering into a business contract with the state.


This action signifies that you accept the role of a commercial entity.


A staggering 60% of all traffic fines are collected in low-income neighborhoods, adding further pressure on vulnerable people.


Even if you're technically engaging in commerce while driving, seeking government permission is a concern. Your right to conduct commerce should be free from overregulation.


The Importance of Standing Up


What’s inspiring about these discussions is the message of personal responsibility. If more individuals stand up against unjust practices, we can create meaningful change.


It’s easy to voice dissatisfaction about systemic issues, but true progress stems from taking action. Recognizing that you do not need government permission for your private vehicle is liberating. Most vehicle registrations and licenses are public records and often compromise your rights.


Educating yourself about navigating life privately can be your first step toward reclaiming your autonomy.


Embracing a Private Life


Living "in the private" means stepping away from the constraints of the public domain. A driver’s license, for example, is a public document, as is your vehicle registration.


Your home and LLC are also recorded, placing them under government oversight. Transitioning to a private status is a proactive means to reclaiming your independence from a system that often feels oppressive.


Understanding this difference empowers you to effectively confront unlawful police encounters.


Empowering Yourself


Defending your rights against unlawful police actions calls for a well-rounded understanding of law and the nature of your interactions with authority figures.


With the knowledge gained from understanding Article III rights and the distinction between private versus public interactions, you can navigate encounters with unlawful officers deftly. The more people become aware of these strategies, the closer we get to dismantling structures that enable unlawful conduct.


In summary, take a stand and educate yourself. Defend your rights and ensure that unlawful conduct does not go unchallenged. It’s time to seize the power that is rightfully yours!
