Florida Statute § 2.01 declares that the common and statute laws of England (of a general nature) down to July 4, 1776, are in force in the state, provided they are not inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution, federal laws, or Florida's own laws.
I'm not a fan of statutes that don't pertain to me, as they only pertain to commercial activities, but I'll take it when it backs me up my rights.
The state constitutions are inconsistent themselves.
Ever ask why we need one when we have THE Constitution? 🤔
Because the state constitutions are for the STATE OF....corporations that run the municipalities, etc.
Your rights are never in the state statutes or state constitutions.
Grok says this about how to use the statute:
Check for Conflicts: Ensure the common law principle isn't overridden by U.S. or Florida law.
Excuse me???
How can laws override my common law rights?
Examples from Case Law:
Florida courts have used it to recognize common law doctrines like the "castle doctrine" for self-defense or spousal immunity (though some have been modified).
Ok. Why isn't it the practice of the castle doctrine extended to the private property of my automobile?
Follow me to freedom!
