MOTION TO DISMISS,
WIT
H CAUSE
Defendant NOTICES this court
of
his appearance ( on or before... ) via written correspondence
because Defendant will NOT be in the State, and likely the Country, on the date specified in the
alleged Summons due to scheduled business projectst') requiring his attention, and thus cannot
appear in person on said date or in that time frame , and appears and defends herein.
Defendan
ts
intent is to simply stand on his rights as provided in the Constitution and through
Supreme Court precedent, since n
ow
those rights are being challenged.
Ift
his court lacks
jurisdiction to dismiss or adjudicate these lawful and constitutional issues, please forward to the
proper court for disposition. Defendant moves this court to dismiss this alleged violat ion of the
Peace and Dignity
of
the People
of
the State
of
Colorado for the following lawful and
constitutional reasons;
I . There is no such lawful entity called The People
of the State ofColorado or THE PEOPLE
OF THE STATE OF COLORADO registered with the Colorado Secretary
of
State s office.
(See Exhibits A, B, C, and D). The U.S. Court
of
Appeals, Ten th Circuit, did NOT recognize
this alleged entity as having any suable value in a claim in court or was any kind of a legal
entity (See Exhibit B, P.3 8). Based on the evidence, this appears to be a ficti tious entity until
proven otherwise, and cannot move against Defendant.
2. Given that The People of the State ofColorado or THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
COLORADO has no standing (which is herein challenged) to move against Defendant, there
must be another entity or group that represents this name on the alleged legal summons since it is
being used in court documents in a legal and fiduciary capacity. If it truly represents the private
People and citizens
of
the State
of
Colorado, as it purports to, there MUST be, by law, a
complaining party whose peace and dignity was damaged in a cogni tive and real way, with
evidence
of
same .
There is no signed complaint from anyone representing the People of the State ofColorado or,
Defendant has been engaged with national and international business projects involving government and
banking officials, and can be called to travel at any given time at a moments notice, or pre-arranged meetings, to
State or International destinations to meet with officials according to their schedules.

THE
PEOPLE OF
THE
STATE OF COLORADO w ho has or had an Injury in Fact
e)
traceable to the alleged violation or by any actions, or lack thereof, ofDefendant, and therefore,
Standing is lacking in this instant case until proven on record.r ) and the case should be
dismissed.r ) In what way would an expired Drivers license cause harm to the peace and
dignity ofANY Colorado inhabitant? Evidence must be of record.
3. The Summons is facially void. Under FRCP, Rule 4 - Summons, the summons
MUST
,
among other things... (F) be sign ed by the clerk; and (G) bear the court s seal. The Summons,
signed by Defendant unde r 1-308 Reservation ofRights, (further rights declared in Exhibit
C, listed infra) lacks these two required features, and therefore, is invalid.
4. Defendant challenges any alleged law which requires im to apply for a Drivers License
when he is NOT acting in any c
omm
ercial capacity which would be a privilege which requires a
Drivers License for carrying on with said Driving for c
omm
ercial profit.
Defendant is acting in his private right to freely travel without interference or license which is
upheld by the
V .S.
Supreme and other Courts in dozens of cases . (See Exhibit E, Brief).
5.
If
a drivers license were required lawfully and constitutionally for Defendant, said license
ultimately belongs to the state, and is to be surrendered if demanded, thus the State is responsible
to provide notice
of
expiration warnings. No reminder or mail notice
of
said expiration was
provided by the state to Defendant. This appears to be an easy way to collect more revenue
when someone does not know their license is expired, rarely having to use said license. Only
law enforcement is the likely one to see this and, of course, ticket the individual, with the help of
2
Injury in
Fac
t: ...at an irreducible minimum, the constitut ional requisites und
er
Arti cle
for the
existence of standing arc that the
party
seeking to sue must pers
onally
have suffered some actual or threatened injury
that can fairl y be traced to the challenged acti on of defendant and that the injury is likely to be redressed by a
favorable decision . Valley Forge Christian College v, Americans United 454 U.S. 464, 472 (1982);
ll
en v. Wright
468 U.S. 737, 751 ( 1984); Luj an v. De enders o Wildlife 112Ct.2130,2 136 (1992).
3 There are three requirements for Article III standing : ( 1) injury in fact, which
mean
s an invasion of a
legally protected interest that is (a) concrete and particularized,
and (b)
actual or imminent,
not
conjec
tur
aJ or
hypothetical; (2) a causal relationship between the inj ury and the cha llenged conduct, which means that the injury
fairly
can
be traced to the challenged action of the defendant,
and
has
not
resulted from the independent act ion of
some third party no t before the court; and (3) a likelihood that the injury will be redressed by a favorable decision,
which means tha t the p
rospe
ct of obtaining re l
ie f
from the injury as a result of a favorable ruling is not too
speculative. Lujan v, De enders o Wildlife 112 S. Ct. 2 130, 2 136 1992) .
4 Constitutional requirements for standing,
and
hence. exercise of the
judici
al power of gove
rnm
ent, are set
forth in the two-
step
Wimberly test, which is satisfied if: I the plaintilTwas injured in fact, and 2) that injurywas
to a legal right protected by statutory provisions
which
alle gedly havc been violated.
Wimberly

lo.,1977 If a p
ers
on suffers no injury in fact or sulTcrs injury in fact
but
not from violat

right, no re l
ie f

the State.
6. Lastly, the City of Pagosa Springs picked this fight , Defendant did not, but now must respond.
We could have started this 10 years ago had we wanted to. Now that it has been initiated, if the
City of Pagosa Springs, and related court/Magistrate/Judge, believe Defendant does NOT have
the lawful, Constitutional rights as stated herein, or the Court precedent provided is wrong, and
that the entity named in the summons is a legal entity, defendant demands F inding
of
Facts and
Conclusions of Law on any and all rulings that counter Defendants' cites and evidence, or it will
have to be escalated to the next level.
Defendant s Oath to uphold the ConstitutiorrS has not stopped, thus he MUST stand where said
Constitution and rights are clear. Any error that invalidates the evidence presented should be
forthcoming. We are either a Constitutional nation of rights and common laws, or have moved
from the Constitution and original intent
oflaw
into tyranny and oppression under the color of
law.t )
The Defendant Accused therefore moves the court of proper
ju
risdiction to dismiss the charge
against him, with prejudice.
Color of Law: .....it s a federal crime for anyone acting under color o
fl
aw willfully to deprive or
conspire to deprive a person of a righ t protected by the Constitution or U.S. law. Co lor of law' simply means that
the person is using authority given to
him
or her
by
a loca l. state. or federal government
agency.
https:llwww.fbi.gov/about-uslinvestigateleivilrights/color_oC law
For the purpose ofTITLE 18, U.S.c., SECTION 242, acts under color oflaw include acts not only done
by federal, state, or local officials with in the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds
of
that
official's lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the
performance
of his/her
official duties. Persons acting under color o fl w within the meaning
of this
statute include
police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public
health facilities ,
nd
oth ers who rc acting as pu lic offici als . It is not nece ssary that the crime be moti vated by
nimus
toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim. The offe nse is
punishab le by a range of imprisomnent up to a li fe term, or the death penalty, depending u

EXHIBITB
On the Fictitious Entity named
PEOP LE OF THE STATE OF COLORADO
or
Peopl e of the State of Colorado ,
REAL PARTY OF INTERESTIINJURED PARTY
STATEMENT OF
AFFIANT
The People are subject to criminal and civil actions
of
BAR attorneys that are usually
commenced and prosecuted in the name of some Imaginary Person (Corporation), the
corporate STATE or corporate UNITED STATES . A Foreign Agent , 22 USC 611,
acting for a Foreign State (Corporation) are prohibited by the 11
th
Amendment of the
Constitution for the united States
of
America to commence or prosecute any action without a
real party of interest.
If
the State ofColorado is entitled to all prosecutions in the name People of the State
of
Colorado within Article
6
section
30,
for
ju
stice against an accused citizen, why not such citizen
against the State when the same language equally comprehends both? The rights
of
the People
and the justice due to them are as dear and precious as those of States . Indeed, the latter are
founded upon the former, and the great end and object of them must be to secure and support the
rights
of the People, or else vain is government.
The United States Distric t Court has stated and ruled in 1996-1997 that the Plaintiff Schroder
....failed to name any suable entity as Defendant ... People ofthe State ofColorado . (See
Exhibit A). Absent a real party o
fi
nterest, or injured party, the People of the State of Colorado
and the THE PEOPLE OF THE STATEOF COLORADO are not a verified injured party in
fact, thus revealing a fictitious Plaint
if f
moving against Defendant.
S uability and suable are words not in common use, but they concisely and correctly convey
the idea annexed to them.
A rule is said to be a bad one, inconceivable and unconscionable, which does not work both
ways; the citizens ofColorado are not content with a claimed right of the State to be a Plaintiff
and Prosecutor under a pseudonym to sue/prosecute them without a real party of interest, and
then also claim it is not a suable entity.
It would be strange indeed that the joint and equal sovereignst ) of this country should, in the
very Constitution by which they professed to establish justice, so far deviate from the plain path
t . . .a t the Revolution . the
sov
ereignty devolved on the peopl e ; and they ar e truly th e

of equality, equal footing, and impartiality as to give to a State a right of suing individual
citizens, and yet deny to those citizens a right of suing them.
The court held that Plaintiff failed to show sufficient interest in proceeding anonymously under
the Stegall test, yet Plaintiffwas free to amend his complaint under Colorado procedural rules
(CRCP 10) to state his true name and proceed with the suit

BRIEF IN SUPPORT NOTICE FOR DISMISS L
FOR L CK OF JURISDICTION
NOW, comes the Defendant/Accused, appearing specially and not generally or voluntarily, but
under threat of arrest
ifhe
failed to do so, with this BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF NOTICE FOR
DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION, stating as follows:
ARGUM NT
If ever ajudge understood the public s right to use the public roads, it was Justice Tolman of the
Supreme Court ofthe State of Washington. Justice Tolman stated:
Complete freedom of the highways is so old and well established a blessing that we have
forgotten the days of the Robber Barons and toll roads, and yet, under an act like this, arbitrarily
administered, the highways may be completely monopolized, if, through lack
of
interest, the
people submit, then they may look to see the most sacred
of
their liberties taken from them one
by one, by more or less rapid encroachment.
Robertson v epartment of Public Works 180 Wash 133, 147.
The words of Justice Tolman ring most prophetically in the ears of Citizens throughout the
country today as the use of the public roads has been monopolized by the very entity which has
been empowered to stand guard over our freedoms, i.e., that of state government.
RIGHTS
The most sacred
of
liberties
of
which Justice Tolman spoke was personal liberty. The
definition of personal liberty is:
Personal liberty, or the Rig ht to enjoyment oflife and liberty, is one of the fundamental or
natural Rights, which has been protected by its inclusion as a guarantee
n
the various
constitutions, which is not derived from, or dependent on, the U.S. Constitution, which may not
be submitted to a vote and may not depend on the outcome of an election. It is one of the most
sacred and valuable Rights, as sacred as the Right to private property ... and is regarded as
inalienable.
16 C.J .S., Constitutional Law, Sect.202, p.987
This concept is further amplified by the definition of personal liberty:
Personal liberty largely cons ists of the Right of locomotion -- to go where and when one
pleases -- only so far restrained
as
the Rights
of
others may make it necessary for the welfare
of

all other citizens. The Right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his
property thereon, by horse drawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which
may be permitted or prohibited at will, but the common Right which he has under his Right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this Constitutional guarantee one may, therefore,
under normal conditions, travel at his inclination along the public highways or in public places,
and while conducting hims
elf
in an orderly and decent manner, neither inte
rf
ering with nor
disturbing another s Rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct.
II Am.Jur. st) Constitutional Law, Sect.329, p l 35
and further ...
Personal liberty -- consists of the power of locomotion, of changing situations, of removing
one s person to whatever place one s inclination may direct, without imprisonment or restraint
unless by due process of law.
Bouvier s Law Dictionary, 1914 ed., Black s Law Dictionary, 5th ed.;
Blackstone s Commentary 134;
Hare, Constitution, Pg. 777
Justice Tolman was concerned about the State prohibiting the Citizen from the most sacred of
his liberties, the Right ofmovement, the Right of moving one s selffrom place to place without
threat of imprisonment, the Right to use the public roads in the ordinary course of life.
When the State allows the formation of a corporation it may control its creation by establishing
guidelines (statutes) for its operation (charters). Corporations who use the roads in the course of
business do not use the roads in the ordinary course of life. There is a difference between a
corporation and an individual. The United States Supreme Court has stated:
...We are of the opinion that there is a clear distinction in this particular between an individual
and a corporation, and that the latter has no right to refuse to submit its books and papers for
examination on the suit of the State. The individual may stand upon his Constitutional Rights as
a Citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is
unlimited. He owes no duty to the State or to his neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his
doors to investigation, so far as it may tend to incriminate him. He owes no such duty to the
State, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of his life, liberty, and property.
His Rights are such as the law of the land long antecedent to the organization of the state, and
can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in accordance with the Cons titution .
Among his Rights are the refusal to incriminate himself, and the immunity
of
himself and his
property from arrest or seizure except under warrant
oflaw
He owes nothing to the public so
long as he does not trespass upon their rights.
Upon the other hand, the corporation is a creature of the state. It is presumed to be

incorporated for the benefit
ofthe
public. receives certain special privileges and franchises, and
holds them subject to the laws of the state and the limitations of its charter. Its rights to act as a
corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation. There is a reserved
right in the legislature to investigate its contracts and find out whether it has exceeded its powers.
would be a strange anomaly to hold that the State, having chartered a corporation to make use
of certain franchises, could not in exercise
of
its sovereignty inquire
how
those franchises had
been employed, and whether they had been abused, and demand the production of corporate
books and papers for that purpose.
Hale vs Hinkel 201 US 43, 74-75
Corporations engaged in mercantile equity fall under the purview of the State s admiralty
jurisdiction, and the public at large must be protected from their activities, as they (the
corporations) are engaged in business for profit.
... Based upon the fundamental ground that the sovereign state has the plenary control of the
streets and highways in the exercise
of
its police power (see police power, infra.), may absolutely
prohibit the use of the streets as a place for the prosec ution of a private business for gain. They
all recognize the fundamental distinction between the ordinary Right of the Citizen to use the
streets in the usual way and the use of the streets as a place of business or a main instrumentality
of business for private gain. The former is a common Right, the latter is an extraordinary use. As
to the former, the legislative power is confined to regulation, as to the latter, it is plenary and
extends even to absolute prohibition. Since the use ofthe streets by a common carrier in the
prosecution of its business as such is not a right but a mere license of privilege.
Hadfieldvs Lundin
98 Wash 516
It will be necessary to review early cases and legal authority in order to reach a lawfully correct
theory dealing with this Right or p rivilege. We will attempt to reach a sound conclusion as to
what is a R ight to use the road and what is a privilege to use the road . Once reaching this
determination, we shall then apply those positions to modem case decision.
W here rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or
legislation which would abrogate them.

The Right
of
the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property
thereon, either by horse drawn carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city can
prohibit or permit at will , but a common Right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit

Thompson vs Smith 154 SE 579
So we can see that a Citizen has a Right to travel upon the public highways by automobile and
the Citizen cannot be rightfully deprived
of
his Liberty. So where does the misconception that the
use
ofthe
public road is always and only a privilege come from?
... For while a Citizen has the Right to travel upon the public highways and to transport his
property thereon, that Right does not extend to the use of the highways, either in whole or in part ,
as a place for private gain. For the latter purpose, no person has a vested right to use the
highways
of
the state, bu t is a privilege or a license which the legislature may grant or withhold
at its discretion.

Miss 12 S.2d 784
There is no dissent among various authorities as to this position. See Am. Jur. [1st] Const. Law,
329 and corresponding Am. Jur. [2nd].)
Personal liberty -- or the right to enjoyment of life and liberty -- is one of the fundamental or
natural rights, which has been protected by its inclusion as a guarantee in the various
constitutions, which is not derived from nor dependent on the U.S. Constitution
.. It is one
of
the most sacred and valuable rights [remember the words of Justice Tolman, supra.] as sacred as
the right to private property ... and is regarded as inalienable.
16 c S Const. Law, Sect.202, Pg. 987
As we can see, the distinction between a Right to use the public roads and a privilege to use
the public roads is drawn upon the line
of
using the road as a place of business and the various
state courts have held so. But what have the U.S . Courts held on this point?
First,
t
is well established law that the highways of the state are public property, and their
primary and preferred use is for private purposes, and that their use for purposes of gain is special
and extraordinary which, generally at least, the legislature may prohibit or condition as it sees
fit.

W hen the public highways are made the place of business the state has a right to regulate their
use in the interest

of
the public as well as the preservation
of
the
highways.
Thompson vs Smith supra.
[The state ] ri ght to regulate such use is based upon the nature of the business and the use of
the highways in connection therewith.
Ibid.
We know of no inherent right in one to use the highways for commercial purposes. The
highways are primarily for the use
of
the public, and in the interest
of
the public , the state may
proh ibit or regulate ... the use
of
the highways for gain.
Robertson vs Dept Public Works supra.
There should be considerable authority on a subject as important a this deprivation of the liberty
of
the individual usin g the roads in the ordinary course
of
life and business. However, it should
be noted that extensive research has not turned up one case or authority acknowledging the state s
power to convert the individual s right to travel upon the public roads into a privilege.
Therefore, it is concluded that the Citizen does have a Right to travel and transport his property
upon the public highways and roads and the exercise
of
this Right is not a privilege.

terms used in connection with this point of law. As will be shown, many terms used today do not,
in their legal context, mean what we assume they mean, thus resulting in the misapplication of
statutes in the instant case.
AUTOMOBILE AND M

There is a clear distinction between an automobile and a motor vehicle. An automobile has been
defined as:
The word automobile connotes a pleasure vehicle designed for the transportation of persons
on highways.

Chaput
60 A.2d 118, 120; 95 NH 200

A m otor vehicle or automobile for hire is a motor vehicle, other than an automobile stage,
used for the transportation ofpersons for which remuneration is received.

The term motor vehicle is different and broader than the word
utomobile.
City o fDayton Y DeBrosse 23 NE.2d 647, 650 ; 62 Ohio App. 232
Motor v ehicle means every description or other contrivance propelled or drawn by
mechanical power and used for commercial purposes on the highways in the transportation of
passengers, or passengers and property.
Used for commercial purposes means the carriage of persons or property for any fare, fee,
rate, charge or other considerations, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or
other undertaking intended for profit.
Title 18 USC 31 (6), (10)
Clearly, an automobile is private property in use for private purposes, while a motor vehicle is a
machine which may be used upon the highways for trade, commerce, or hire.

expenses) and who have occasion to pass over them for the purpose
of
business, convenience, or

Traveler -- One who passes from place to place, whether for pleasure, instruction, business, or
health.
Locket vs State 47 Ala. 45;
Bovier s Law Dictionary, 1914 ed., Pg. 3309
Travel -- To journey or to pass through or over; as a c ountry district , road, etc. To go from
one place to another, whether on foot, or horseback, or in any conveyance as a train, an
automobile, carriage, ship, or aircraft; Make a journey.
Century Dictionary , Pg. 2034
Therefore, the term travel or traveler r efers to one who uses a conveyance to go from one
place to another, and included all those who use the highways as a matter
of
Right.
Notice that in all these definitions, the phrase for hire never occurs. This term travel or
traveler implies, by definition , one who uses the road as a means to move from one place to
another.
Therefore, one who uses the road in the ordinary course of
li f
e and business for the purpose of
travel and transportation is a traveler.

The term driver in contradistinction to traveler, is defined as:

not the case.
It will be obse rved from the language o th ordinance that a distinction is to be drawn
between the terms operator and driver ; the operator
o
the service car being the person who is
licensed to have the car on the streets in the business
o
carrying passengers for hire; while the
driver is the one who actu ally drives the car, However, in the actual prosecution
o
business , it
was possible for the same person to be both operator and driver.
New bill vs Union Indemn ity Co
60 SE.2d 658
To further clarify the definition of an operator the court observed that this was a vehicl e fo r
hire and that it was in the business of carrying passengers .
This definition would seem to describe a person who is using the road as a place o business, or
in other words, a person engaged in the privilege o using the road for gain.
This defmition, then, is a further clarification
o
the distinction mentioned earlier, and therefore:
Traveling upon and transporting one s property upon the public roads as a matter
o
Right
meets the definition
o
a traveler.
Using the road as a place of business as a matter o privilege meets the definition o a driver or
an operator or both .
TRAFFIC
Having defined the terms automobile, motor vehicle, traveler, driver, and operator, the
next term to define is traffic :
... Traffic thereon is to some extent destructive, therefo re, the prevention
o
unnecessary
duplication o auto transportation service will lengthen the life o the highways or reduce the cost
o
maintenance, the revenue derived by the state ... will also tend toward the public welfare by
producing at the expense
o
those operating for private gain, some small part of the cost
o
repairing the wear ...

Note: In the above, Justice Tolman expounded upon the key
o

pri vilege to use the public roads at the expense of those operating for gain.
this case, the word traffic is used conjunction with the unnecessary Auto Transportation
Service, or in other words , v ehicles for hire. The word traffic is another word which is to be
strictly construed to the conducting of business .

Traffic -- Commerce, trade, sale or exchange
of
merchandise, bills, money, or the like. The
passing of goods and commodities from one person to another for an equivalent in goods or
money ...
Bovier's Law Dictionary, 1914 ed., Pg. 3307
Here again, notice that this definition refers to one conducting business. No mention is made of
one who is traveling in his automobile. This definition is of one who is engaged in the passing of
a commodity or goods in exchange for money, i.e .., vehicles for hire.
Furthermore, the words traffic and travel must have different meanings which the courts
recognize. The difference is recognized in Ex Parte Dickey supra:
...in addition to this, cabs, hackney coaches, omnibuses, taxicabs, and hacks, when
unnecessarily numerous, interfere with the ordinary traffic and travel and obstruct them.
The court, by using both terms, signified its recognition
of
a distinction between the two. But,
what was the distinction? We have already defined both terms, but to clear up any doubt:
The word ' traffic' is manifestly used here in secondary sense, and has reference to the
business of transportation rather than to its primary meaning
of
interchange of commodities.
llen vs City o Bellingham
163 P. 18
Here the Supreme Court
of
the State
of
Washington has defined the word traffic (in either its
primary or secondary sense) in reference to business, and not to mere travel So it is clear that the
term traffic is business related and therefore, it is a privilege. The net result being that
traffic is brought under the (police) power of the legislature. The term has no application to one
who is not using the roads as a place
of
business.
LI ENSE
seems only proper to define the word license, as the definition
of
this word will be extremely
important in understanding the statutes as they are properly applied :
The permission, by competent authority to do an act which without permission, would be
illegal, a trespass, or a tort.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/right-to-travel-brief-in-support-of-notice-for-dismissal-and-supplement 26/41
In
order for these two definitions to apply in this case, the state would have to take up the
position that the exercise
of
a Constitutional Right to use the public roads in the ordinary course
oflife and business is illegal, a trespass, or a tort, which the state could then regulate or prevent.
This position, however, would raise magnitudinous Constitutional questions as this position
would be diametrically opposed to fundamental Constitutional Law. See Conversion
of
a Right
to a Crime, infra.)
In the instant case, the proper definition
of a license is:
a permit, granted by an appropriate governmental body, generally for consideration, to a
person, firm, or corporation, to pursue some occupation or to can y on some business which is
subject to regulation under the police power.
Rosenblatt vs California State Board
o
harmacy
158 P.2d 199 203
This defin ition would fall more in line with the privilege
of
carrying on business on the streets .
Most people tend to think that licensing is imposed by the state for the purpose of raising
revenue, yet there may well be more subtle reasons contemplated; for when one seeks permission
from someone to do something he invokes the jurisdiction
of
the licensor which, in this case, is
the state . In essence, the licensee may well be seeking to be regulated by the licensor.
license fee is a charge made primarily for regulation, with the fee to cover costs and
expenses
of
supervision or regulation.
State vs Jackson
60 Wisc .2d 700; 211 NW.2d 480, 487
The fee is the price; the regulation or control ofthe licensee is the real aim
of
the legislation.
Are these licenses really used to fund legitimate government, or are they nothing more than a
subtle introduction of police power into every facet of our lives? Have our enforcement
agencies been diverted from crime prevention, perhaps through no fault of their own, instead
now busying themselves as they check our papers to see that all are properly endorsed by the
state?
How much longer will it be before we are forced to get a license for our lawn mowers, or before
our wives will need a license for her blender or mixer? They all have motors on them and the
state can always use the revenue.

police power has affixed a penalty to a certain act, or where it requires licenses to be obtained
and a certain sum be paid for certain occupations. The power used in the instant case cannot,
however, be the power
of
taxation since an attempt to levy a tax upon a Right would be open to
Constitutional objection. (See taxing power, infra.)
Each law relating to the use
of
police power must ask three questions:
Is there threatened danger?
Does a regulation involve a Constitutional Right?
Is this regulation reasonable?
People vs Smith
108 Am.St.Rep. 715;
Bovier's Law Dictionary , 1914 ed., under Police Power
When applying these three questions to the statute in question, some very important issues
emerge.
First, is there a threatened danger in the individual using his automobile on the public
highways, in the ordinary course of li fe and business?
The answer is No There is nothing inherently dangerous in the use
of
an automobile when it is
carefully managed. Their guidance, speed, and noise are subject to a quick and easy control, and
under a competent and considerate manager, t is as harmless on the road as a horse and buggy.
t is the manner ofmanaging the automobile, and that alone, which threatens the safety of the
public. The ability to stop quickly and to respond quickly to guidance would seem to make the
automobile one
of
the least dangerous conveyances. (See Yale Law Journal, December, 1905.)
The automobile is not inherently dangerous.
Cohens vs Meadow
89 SE 876;
Blair vs Broadmore 93 SE 532
To deprive all persons of the Right to use the road in the ordinary course
of
life and business,
because one might, in the future, become dangerous, would be a deprivation not only ofthe Right
to travel , but also the Right to due process . (See Due Process, infra.)
Next; does the
regulation
involve a Constitutional Right
This question has already been addressed and answered in this brief, and need not be reinforced
other than to remind this Court that this Citizen does have the Right to travel upon the public
highway by automobile in the ordinary course oflife and business. can ther

that this regulation does involve a Constitutional Right. The third question is the most important

in this case.
Is this regulation reasonable?
The answer is No
It
will be shown later in Regulation, infra., that this licensing statute is
oppressive and could be effectively administered by less oppressive means .
Although the Fourteenth Amendment does not interfere with the proper exercise
of
the police
power, in accordance with the general principle that the power must be exercised so as not to
invade unreasonably the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution, it is established
beyond question that every state power, including the police power, is limited by the Fourteenth
Amendment (and others) and by the inhibitions there imposed.
Moreover, the ultimate test
of
the propriety of police power regulations must be found in the
Fourteenth Amendment, since it operates to limit the field of the police power to the extent of
preventing the enforcement
of statutes in denial of Rights that the Amendment protects. (See
Parks vs. State 64 NE 682.)
With regard particularly to the U.S. Constitution, it is elementary that a Right secured or
protected by that document cannot be overthrown or impaired by any state police authority.

No person shall be ... deprived of Life, Liberty, or Property without due process

As has been shown, the courts at all levels have firmly established an absolute Right to travel.
In the instant case, the state, by applying commercial statutes to all entities, natural and artificial
persons alike, has deprived this free and natural person of the Right
of
Liberty, without cause and
without due process of law.

damages. The state could then
also proceed against the individual to deprive him of his Right to use the public highways, for
cause. This process would fulfill the due process requirements of the Fifth Amendment while at
the same time insuring that Rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the state constitutions
would be protected.
But unless or until harm or damage a crime) is committed, there is no cause for interference in

One
of
the
most f
amo
us and perhaps the most quoted definitions
of
due process
of
law, is that
of
Daniel Webster in his Dartmouth College
Case
(4 Wheat 518), in which he declared
that
by due
process is meant:
a law which hears befor e it condemns, which proceeds upon inquiry, and renders judgment
only after trial.
See also State vs Strasb urg 110 P. 1020;
Dennis vs Moses 52 P. 333
Somewhat similar is the stat
ement tha
t is a rule as old as the law that:
n o
on
e shall be personally bound (restricted) until he has had his day in court,
by which is meant, until he has been duly cited to appear and has been afforded an opportunity to
be heard. Judgment without such citation and opportunity lacks all the attributes of a judicial
determination; it is j udicial usurpation and it is
op
pressive
and
can never
upheld where it is
fairly administered. (12 Arn.Jur. [1st] Const.
Law
, Sect. 573, Pg . 269)
No te: This sounds like the process used to deprive one of the privilege of operating a motor
vehicle fo r hire. It should be kept in mind, however, that we are discussing the arb itrary
deprivation of the Right to use the road that all cit izens have in common.
The futility of the state s position can most easily observed in the 1959 Washington Attorney
General s opinion on a similar issue:
The distinction between the Right of the Citizen to use the public highways for private, rather
than commercial purposes is recognized ...
and ...
Under its power to regulate private uses
of
our highways, our legislature has required that
motor vehicle operators be licensed (I.C. 49-307). Undoubtedly , the primary purpose of this
requirement is to insure, as far as possible, that all motor vehicle operators will be competent and
qualified, thereby reducing the potential hazard or risk of harm, to which other users of the
highways might otherwise subject. utonce having complied with this regulatory provision,
by obtaining the required license, a motorist enjoys the privilege
of
traveling free ly upon the
hi h g ways ...
Washington A.G.O. 59-60 No . 88, Pg. 11
This alarming opinion appears to
saying that every person using an automobile as a matter of
Right, must give up the Right and convert the Right into a privilege. This is accomplished under

the guise of regulation. This statement is indicative
of
the insensitivity, even the ignorance, o
he
government to the limits placed upon governments by and through the several constitutions .
This legal theory may have been able to stand in 1959; however, as of 1966, in the United States
Supreme Court decision in Miranda, even this weak defense
of
the state s actions must fall.
Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or
legislation which would abrogate them.
Miranda vs Arizona
384 US 436, 491
Thus the legislature does not have the power to abrogate the Citizen s Right to travel upon the
public roads, by passing legislation forcing the citizen to waive his Right and convert that Right
into a privilege. Furthermore, we have previously established that this privilege has been
defmed as applying only to those who are conducting business in the streets or operating
for-hire vehicles.
The legislature has attempted (by legislative fiat) to deprive the Citizen of his Right to use the
roads in the ordinary course of life and business, without affording the Citizen the safeguard of
due process of law. This has been accompli shed under supposed powers of regulation.
REGUL TIO
N
In addition to the requirement that regulations governing the use of the highways must not be
violative
of
constitutional guarantees, the prime essentials
of
such regulation are reasonableness,
impartiality, and definiteness or certainty.

consider whether such regulations are reasonable and non-violative of constitutional guarantees.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/right-to-travel-brief-in-support-of-notice-for-dismissal-and-supplement 32/41
the reasonableness
of
the statute we need only ask two quest ions:
Does the statute accomplish its stated goal?
The answer is No
The attempted explanation for this regulation to insure the safety of the public by insuring, as
much as possible, that all are competent and qualified.
However, one can keep his license without retesting, from the time he/she is first licensed until
the day he/she dies, without regard to the competency ofthe person, by merely renewing said
license before it expires. is therefore possible to completely skirt the goal of this attempted
regulation, thus proving that this regulation does not accomplish its goal.
Furthermore, by testing and licensing, the state gives the appearance of underwriting the
competence of the licensees, and could therefore be held liable for failures, accidents, etc. caused
by licensees.
Is th e statute reasonab le?
The answer is No
This statute cannot be determined to be reasonable since it requires to the Citizen to give up
his or her natural Right to travel unrestricted in order to accept the privilege. The purported goal
of this statute could be met by much less oppressive regulations, i.e., competency tests and
certificates of competency b
ef
ore using an automobile upon the public roads. (This is exactly the
situation in the aviation sector.)
ut
isn tthis what we have now?
The answer is No The real purpose ofthis license is much more insidious. When one signs the
license, he/she gives up his/her Constitutional Right to travel in order to accept and exercise a
privilege. After signing the license, a quasi-contract, the Citizen has to give the state his/her
consent to be prosecuted for constructive crimes and quasi-criminal actions where there is no
harm done (no injured
party) and no damaged property.
These prosecutions take place without affording the Citizen of their Constitutional Rights and
guarantees such a the Right to a trial by jury
of
twelve persons and the Right to counsel , as well
as the normal safeguards such as proofof intent and a corpus dilecti and a grand jury indictment.
These uncon stitutional prosecutions take place because the Citizen is exercising a privilege and
has given his/her implied consent to legislative enactments designed to control interstate
commerce, a regulatable enterprise under the police power of the state.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/right-to-travel-brief-in-support-of-notice-for-dismissal-and-supplement 33/41
We must now conclude that the Citizen is forced to give up Constitutional guarantees of Right
in order to exercise his state privilege to travel upon the public highways in the ordinary course
of life and business. In addition, said infringement of rights is at the expense of the private
citizen in costs, fees, renewals, fines, etc., for which the State is benefitting, without full
disclosure of the alleged contract between the private citizen and the State.
SURRENDER OF RIGHTS
A Citizen cannot be forced to give up his/her Rights in the name of regulation .
... the only limitations found restricting the right
of
the state to condition the use
of
the public
highways as a means of vehicular transportation for compensation are I) that the state must not
exact of those it permits to use the highways for hauling for gain that they surrender any of their
inherent U.S. Constitutional Rights as a condition precedent to obtaining permission for such use
Riley vs Laeson 142 So. 619;
Stephenson vs Binford
supra.
If one cannot be placed in a position of being forced to surrender Rights in order to exercise a
privilege, how much more must this maxim of law, then, apply when one is simply exercising
putting into use) a Right ?
Hoke vs Henderson 15 NC 15
and ...
We find it intolerable that one Constitutional Right should have to be surrendered
n
order to
assert another.
Simons vs United States
390 US 389
Since the state requires that one give up Rights in order to exercise the privilege of traveling, the
regulation cannot stand under the police power, due process, or regulation, but must be exposed
as a statute which is oppressive and one which has been misapplied to deprive the Citizen of
Rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the state constitutions.
TAXING
POW R
Any claim that this statute is a taxing statute would be immediately open to severe
Constitutional objections. If it could be said that the state had the power to tax a Right , this
would enable the state to destroy Rights guaranteed by the constitution through the use of
oppressive taxation. The question herein is one

the state taxing the Right to travel by the

ordinary modes of the day, and whether this is a legislative object
of
the state taxation.
The views advanced herein are neither novel nor unsupported by authority. The question of
taxing power ofthe states has been repeatedly considered by the Supreme Court. The Right of the
state to impede or embarrass the Constitutional operation of the U.S. Government or the Rights
which the Citizen holds under it, has been uniformly denied.
McCulloch vs Maryland 4 Wheat 316
The power to tax is the power to destroy, and if the state is given the power to destroy Rights
through taxation, the framers of the Constitution wrote that document in vain.
It may be said that a tax ofone dollar for passing through the state cannot sensibly affect
any function
of
government or deprive a Citizen
of
any valuable Right. But
if
a state can tax ... a
passenger of one dollar, it can tax him a thousand dollars.
Crandall vs Nevada
6
Wall
35, 46
and ...
If the Right of passing through a state by a Citizen of the United States is one guaranteed by
the Constitution, it must be sacred from state taxation.
Ibid., Pg. 47
Therefore, the Right
oft
rave must be kept sacred from all forms of state taxation and if this
argument is used by the state as a defense of the en forcement
of
this statute, then this argument
also must
fail.
ONVERSIONOF RIGHT TO CRIME
As previously demonstrated, the Citizen has the Right to travel and to transport his property upon
the public highways in the ordinary course of life and business. However,
if
one exercises this
Right to travel without first giving up the Right and converting that Right into a privilege) the
Citizen is by statute, guilty of a crime. This amounts to converting the exercise of a
onstitutional Right into a crime.

Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or
legislation which would abrogate them.
Miranda supra.
Indeed, the very purpose for creating the state under the limitations ofthe constitution was to
protect the rights
of
the people from intrusion, particularly by the forces
of
government.
So we can see that any attempt by the legislature to make the act
of
using the public highways as
a matter
of
Right into a crime, is void upon its face.
Any person who claims his Right to travel upon the highways , and so exercises that Right, cannot
be tried for a crime ofdoing so. And yet, this Freeman stands before this court today to answer
charges for the crime
of
exercising his Right to Liberty. As we have already shown, the term
drive can only apply to those who are employed in the business oftransportation for hire.
has
been shown that freedom includes the Citizen s Right to use the public highways in the ordinary
course oflife and business without license or regulation by the police powers of the state.
CONCLUSION
It is the duty
of
the court to recognize the substance
of
things and not the mere form.
The courts are not bound by mere form, nor are they to be misled by mere pretenses . They are
at liberty -- indeed they are under a solemn duty -- to look at the substance
of
things , whenever
they enter upon the inquiry whether the legislature has transcended the limits of its authority. If,
therefore, a statute purported to have been enacted to protect ... the public safety, has no real or
substantial relation to those objects or is a palpable invasion
of
Rights secured by the
fundamental law, it is the duty of the courts to so adjudge, and thereby give effect to the
Constitution.

The history
of
this invasion of the Citizen s Right to use the public highways shows clearly that
the legislature simply found a heretofore untapped source
of
revenue, got greedy, and attempted
to enforce a statute in an unconstitutional manner upon those free and natural individuals who
have a Right to travel upon the highways. This was not attempted in an outright action, but in a
slow, meticulous, calculated encroachment upon the Citizen s Right to travel.

life and business is a privilege.
To rule in any other manner, without clear authority for an adverse ruling, will infringe upon
fundamental and basic concepts
of
Constitutional law. This position, that a Right cannot be
regulated under any guise, must be accepted without concern for the monetary loss
of
the state.
Disobedience or evasion
of
a Constitutional Mandate cannot be tolerated, even though such
disobedience may, at least temporarily, promote in some respects the best interests
of
the public.
Slate vs. Examination 112 ALR 660
and ...
Economic necessity cannot justify a disregard
of
Constitutional guarantee.
Riley vs. Carter 79 ALR 1018;
16 Am.Jur. (2nd), Const. Law, Sect . 81
and ...
Constitutional Rights cannot be denied simply because
of
hostility to their assertions and
exercise; vindication
of conceded Constitutional Rights cannot be made dependent upon any
theory that it is less expensive to deny them than to afford them.
Watson vs.
Memphis 375 US 526
Therefore, the Court s decision in the instant case must be made without the issue
of
cost to the
state being taken into consideration, as that issue is irrelevant. The state cannot lose money that
never had a right to demand from the Sovereign People.

Finally, we come to the issue of public policy.
could be argued that the licensing scheme of all
persons is a matter of public policy. However,
if
this argument is used, it too must fail, as:
No public policy of a state can be allowed to override the positive guarantees of the U.S.
Constitution.
16 Am.Jur. (2nd), Const. Law, Sect. 70
So even public policy cannot abrogate this Citizen s Right to travel and to use the public
highways in the ordinary course oflife and business. Therefore, it must be concluded that:
We have repeatedly held that the legislature may regulate the use ofthe highways for carrying
on business for private gain and that such regulation is a valid exercise of the police power.
Northern Pacific R R Co supra.
and ...
The act in question is a valid regulation , and as such is binding upon all who use the highway
for the purpose of private gain.
Ibid.
Since no notice is given to people applying for driver s (or other) licenses that they have a perfect
right to use the roads without any permission, and that they surrender valuable rights by taking on
the regulation system of licensure, the state has committed a massive construction fraud. This
occurs when any person is told that they must have a license in order to use the public roads and
highways.
The
license. being a legal contract underwhich
the
state is empowered with policing
powers. is only valid when the licensee takes on the burdens of the contract
and
bargains
away his or her rights knowingly. intentionally. and voluntarily.
Few know that the driver s license is a contract without which the police are powerless to
regulate the people s actions or activities.
Few if any) licensees intentionally surrender valuable rights. They are told that they must have
the license. As we have seen, this is not the case.
No one in their right mind voluntarily surrenders complete liberty and accepts in its place a set of
regulations.
The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion . Edmund Burke , (1784

Any other construction of this statute would render it unconstitutional as applied to this Citizen.

I am Traveling in my Private Automobile by Constitutional Guaranteed Right, theseCases and Statements recognized by the Supreme Court verify my right to Travel in myPrivate Automobile.
Americans’ “freedom to travel throughout the United States has long been recognized asa basic right under the Constitution,” according to multiple cases including Williams v.
Fears, 179 U.S. 270, 274 (1900); Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U.S. 78, 97 (1908), as listedin the case of United States v. Guest, 383 U.S. 745, 758 (1966), a case involvingcriminally prosecuting people for obstructing the right (obstruction is a federal crimepursuant to federal criminal law 18 USC 241).
“The right to travel is a part of the “liberty” of which the citizen cannot be deprivedwithout due process of law under the Fifth Amendment.” Kent v. Dulles, 357 U.S. 116,125 (1958). Reaffirmed in Zemel v. Rusk, 381 U.S. 1 (1965).
“Undoubtedly the right of locomotion, the right to remove from one place to anotheraccording to inclination, is an attribute of personal liberty, and the right, ordinarily, of
free transit from or through the territory of any State is a right secured by the l4th Amendment and by other provisions of the Constitution.” Schactman v. Dulles, 255 F.2d938, 944 (1955).
“Even the legislature has no power to deny to a citizen the right to travel upon thehighway and transport his property in the ordinary course of his business or pleasure,though this right may be regulated in accordance with the public interest andconvenience.” Chicago Motor Coach Co. v. City of Chicago, 337 Ill. 200, 206 (1929), 169NE 22 (“Regulated” here means stop lights, signs, etc., NOT a privilege that requirespermission).
“The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his propertythereon in the ordinary course of life and business is a common right which he has underhis right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursuehappiness and safety. It includes the right in so doing to use the ordinary and usualconveyances of the day.” Thompson v. Smith, 155 Va. 367 (1930).
“The right to make use of an automobile as a vehicle of travel along the highways of thestate, is no longer an open question. The owners thereof have the same rights in theroads and streets as the drivers of horses or those riding a bicycle or traveling by someother vehicle.” House v. Cramer, 134 Iowa 374 (1907), 112 N.W. 3.
Public roads belong to the people, since we pay for them. Every time we purchasegasoline we are charged a tax on the gasoline which pays for all public roads, thereforeexercising one’s liberty upon them is a natural right. The right to travel, or to locomotion,is upheld in the constitution, and actually predates the constitution.
“No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law, and no courts are bound to enforce it.”Bonnett v. Vallier, 136 Wis. 193 (1908), 116 N.W. 885; Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S.425 (1886); 16A Am. Jur. 2d Constitutional Law Sec. 195.

The State cannot diminish the rights of the people. Hurtado v. California, 110 U.S. 516(1884).
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuancethereof, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall bebound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary
notwithstanding.” “The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and theMembers of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, tosupport this Constitution...” Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.
“The claim and exercise of a constitutional right cannot thus be converted into a crime.”Miller v. United States, 230 F.2d 486, 490 (1956).
With no injured party, a complaint is invalid on its face. Gibson v. Boyle, 139 Ariz. 512(1983).
Courts have ruled that without Corpus delicti there can be no crime and, “In everyprosecution for crime, it is necessary to establish the corpus delicti, i.e., the body orelements of the crime.” People v. Lopez, 254 Cal.App.2d 185, 188 (1967). “In everycriminal trial, the prosecution must prove the corpus delicti, or the body of the crimeitself — i.e., the fact of injury, loss or harm, and the existence of a criminal agency as itscause.” People v. Sapp, 2 Cal. Rptr. 3d 554, 595 (2003) [quoting People v. Alvarez, 46P.3d 372 (2002)].
“As a general principle, standing to invoke the judicial process requires an actual justiciable controversy as to which the complainant has a real interest in the ultimate
adjudication because he or she has either suffered or is about to suffer an injury.” Peoplev. Superior Court, 126 Cal.Rptr.2d 793, 801 (2002).
There is no question that there is NO injured party involved here, and a citation/ticketissued by a police officer, or jail/incarceration for any cause including no valid driver’slicense, registration or insurance, and save for criminal activities involving an injuredparty, is a penalty or sanction, and is indeed, “converting a Right into a crime.”1
“The use of highways for purposes of travel and transportation is not a mere privilege,but a common and fundamental right, of which the public and individuals cannotrightfully be deprived.” Chicago Motor Coach Co. v. City of Chicago, 337 Ill. 200 (1929),
169 NE 22, 66 ALR 834. Ligare v. City of Chicago, 139 Ill. 46 (1891), 28 NE 934. Boonev. Clark, 214 S.W. 607 (1919); 25 American Jurisprudence, Highways, Sec. 163.
