Re Boys’ Scout Motto – Be Prepared. 1-308:

Q: Les, i’m in a bit of a pickle. i am a taxi driver and i got 2 speeding tickets within 3 weeks of each other. i have been researching UCC1-308. now since my name is copyrighted i shouldn’t have to worry about the UCC 1-308 correct? Also please can you look at this site and tell me your opinion.

R: Looked at the link – he gives you a line of attack – however your livelihood is contractually tied into your taxi license and your drivers license. Its like you are in a middle of a swamp you can’t do things like you can on dry land. Part of the agreement of those permits are to abide by the rules as written. Its not then a question of rights but whether you did obey or not. That’s one position.

But on the other hand there is a chance you can argue that this does not apply to you as you are not the straw man over which they have jurisdiction. But creating documentation after the fact suggests you are only wanting to get out of a contractual obligation. The judge most likely will not buy it nor give in too easily.

If you want to throw yourself into the fray this is a great learning
experience but you have to be prepared to accept the risks of it not going smoothly. Most likely it is easier to just eat the fine and save the aggravation of a prolonged project which you may end off paying any ways. Being dependent on their permission to drive puts you not in a strong position.

The paperwork and all will likely buy yourself some time and thus give you other options down the road. It all depends on what you want to do. I can’t advise you without taking the liability for the information.

If you want sign into my membership site, read up inside on common law and learn about how a lawyer thinks regarding it. Then read about Admiralty Law through one of their textbooks come back and see if your source’s information still makes sense and then be in a position to improve on it with your new knowledge. Sorry couldn’t paint a rosier picture. I am not saying its not possible but I wouldn’t enter the fray without being able to go in there with an attitude based on confidence. – Les.

P.S. 1-308 is like going up to a fork in the road either you take the high road or the low road. If you take the high road you are effectively saying that you have inherent rights and are not bound by the laws affecting the straw man – those laws do not apply to you as you not willingly nor knowingly agreed to them. If you don’t state who you are [the human being] and waive the recognition that 1-308 gives it is assumed that all the laws apply to you [the Straw man] and having travelled on that path you are therefor operating under those rules or contract. Or at least that is how I understand it.

Q:what should I do about that ticket i got, now that all paperwork has went to there respective places

R: If you were anybody else and was not dependent on driving I would say go for it and use the speeding ticket as a learning experience. If you go back to the site I have a membership site with a lot of material in it. Primary advantage is that it 1) gives you a basic education on law from a lawyers perspective and 2) from an admiralty perspective getting infrmation from the source so to speak. The cost to access is $10/mnth – check it out. We can do the copyright+Security agreement when you are in a better financial position. Understand inside that everything is based on trust law and we at different times play different roles. Cheers – Les.

Q: Okay and you are right, i need to educate myself as you have said. I know based on other facts dealing with the IRS and also getting a refund as stated in the book cracking the code, i would not need to work. in the u.s.a. if you are accessed points you wont get hired for driving jobs which would send me into the streets because i couldn’t meet my obligations. i know this undertaking is huge, but ….

R: Yes this is tough as your livihood is tied into using the system (permits, licensing etc.) if you mess with them “They” as the expression says. “Have you by the Short and Curlies” which is how it is designed, “Play by our rules or else”.

Removing yourself out of the system in this case is not something you to do with a lot of fanfare if it means, “Cutting your nose off to spite your face”. This is why you want to take it slow educate your self to the point that when you do something you are fearless and untouchable. For the moment realize that you are not in a strong position and don’t have many cards to play with. Knowing you have other options is a start but I would not risk my livihood until you are in a much stronger position. In other words pay the fines its the price of doing business – maybe built in a voluntary insurance fund that your customers can pay into to and in the meantime learn this stuff cold you have options.
Cheers!

R: If my livelihood was driving taxi and working was dependent on having a license I would pay the traffic ticket – losing your means of livelihood is more expensive.
