This School is not an instrument of the Corporate State ofCalifornia; it is not established- as a public service agency; itis not a corporation created and approved by the Corporate State ofCalifornia; it takes no benefit from the state and so no liabilityattaches to it for it has no legal obligations due the State thusthe State may not impose liabilities upon the School.

PREFACE

The author became enmeshed with the Corporate State's Vehicle Codewhen he moved to California on November of 1954. From that dateuntil 1984, he was as gullible and naive as are the majority of thenow readers of this study and the research results publishedherein. He believed that dignity and honor was the foundation ofthis Country which set it aside as a special unique form ofgovernment, previously unknown in the annals of man's history; asa society functioning under a set of laws by which the Peoplewere the creators for the People, not for the People. Better thatten guilty men go free, unpunished, than that one innocent man beunjustly punished by a tyrannical government. That the power andmight of the chosen government not be abused by amoral men, instations of power, by the weight of the sword and thundering gun-powder but, that the government of the Nation/States be by Bills ofLaw, not amoral men serving their own selfish purposes and those oftheir ilk striving only for power. The author became involved inthe abuse of Vehicle Code, a private business code, and of itsmisuse, misrepresentation and application to a class of individualsnot encompassed by the intent of private statutes; it is used as ameans of control of the individual, the unlawful taking ofproperty, money, liberty and rights, privileges and immunities byregimentation. By false use of licensing laws/permits it haspermeated and crumbled the very foundation of our rights bycolorable law corporate statutes under color of robes / office /uniforms.

Our right to be let alone, when we do no harm to our fellow man,has disappeared by deceitful imposition of contractualrelationships with the Corporate State of California. By ourignorance of the nature of the statutes, unwillingness to challengefigures of authority, because we are "sheep-le" happily followingthe black sheep [think judicial robes, uniforms of a police

Page 3: Redbook on Travel

officer], believing all is well, after all, look about you and seeyour fellow happy sheep in the flock. All unaware that we are beingled to fleecing pens, [tribunal courts] where in we are fleeced andnever know that we have been fleeced, subjected to an unnaturalfleecing by men functioning outside the scope of their duty aspublic officials. That the taking of our natural coat ofprotection, Our Laws, under guise of Corporate Administrative Lawwhich excludes us from their juris-diction, and is not to be takenby onerous deceit, without our voluntary, knowing surrender of aright for a special privilege for which we have no need, will notenjoy, nor participate, nor any benefit gained in the future by ourignorant compliance. Others, as myself, who have raised their headsabove the flock, to learn what is happening to the flock, havediscovered themselves to be in the position of the turkey who does,so someone is going to take a shot at it because it disrupts theserenity of those who do not know they are going to be plucked.Fortunately, those who have learned of our status/power, have thelarge gonads, will take a stand to fight the deceitful applicationof compelled nexus.

That knowledge is available; it enables that type of individual touse the knowledge herein to strike back, fight CorporateAdministrative Agencies, Article I Tribunals, use Article IIICourts for damages for deprival of immunity from CorporateAdministrative Law which harms us. To the fighter goes the spoils.Wars are not by a single battle won, nor by a single defeat.Battles are learning experiences. Defeats are teachingexperiences., Survive enough battles/defeats and you have gainedthe knowledge and experience of how a war is fought and won. It isthe belief of this author that the courts, agencies people'sprosecutors, review courts have directly and indirectly taughthim a significant number of battle plans and tactics which he wouldotherwise never have become aware by research and study on his ownsolitary time in the law library.

Understand the massed are never going to rally round your flag. Themasses are followers. They do as they are told to do and believewhat they are told to believe. Theirs is not to question why,theirs is but to comply, comply to the lie, suffer the knifeplunged into their backs while being assured that all is right, andfor the common goodwill, safety and security of the People, or isit the People? Read, read, read some more. Study and learn foryourself for whom the bell tolls. the bell tolls for the reader.It will be you for whom the bell dolefully tolls by yournon-combativeness, or it can be a government which takes from you

all that was fought for by those slaughtered / maimed in theirRebel's War in the name of freedom and rights from tyranny.

The Rodney King episode is a classic example of how the VehicleCode is used by the police/peace officers of local municipalities,county municipalities, and the California Highway Patrol TrafficOfficers, [CHiP traffic officers are not first peace/policeofficers but, traffic officers with alternative peace officerpowers as employees of an administrative agency, within theBusiness, Transportation and Housing Agency] who by abuse ofprocess and color of uniform deceitfully write civil notices namingindividuals using the common highways, citing sections of VehicleCode when the individual noticed is not within the jurisdiction oflocal municipalities police power [local police powers of countiesand cities does not extend to enforcing state statutes] Departmentof Motor Vehicles itself has not police power as a Public ServiceAgency, which is composed of private individuals functioning asCorporate Agencies for the Corporate State, thus cannot delegatepolice power to arrest for civil actions, special in nature undercode enforcement, which is maritime summary procedure, not criminalprosecution.

RODNEY KING, now world known as a victim of aggravated assault andhis near death; while traveling upon an inter-state federalhighway, outside the jurisdiction of Department of CaliforniaHighway Patrol, Department of Motor Vehicles, local police, may notbe heard in County municipal courts under Vehicle Code. A CHiPTraffic Officer took off in pursuit of Mr. King because it was hisbelief that King was traveling at an unlawful rate of speed on acommon highway but he as State Traffic Officer had no jurisdiction,nor the State by its Vehicle Code, nor the Department ofMotor Vehicles hearing by magistrates in municipal tribunals foradministrative agencies.

MR. KING at some off-ramp exited the Inter-state and continued onthe city streets. Because he refused to pull over and stop on theside of the street, the CHiP radioed that they were in hot pursuitof a speeding automobile. The Los Angeles Police Departmentresponded to the message and joined the pursuit of Mr. King. Atsome location King was stopped. Assuming CHiPs had jurisdiction andwere in legitimate "hot pursuit", Mr. King was theirs. But, thealleged unlawful speed was not committed within the geographicaljurisdiction of the LAPD, they were intruders when they told theCHiPs they would take over and then brutalized him with clubs,kicks, tasers, to a critical need for hospital-ization, treatment

Page 5: Redbook on Travel

of broken bones, fractures and contusions. LAPD had no jurisdictionto arrest Mr. King under color of State Vehicle Code for StateDepartment of Motor Vehicles. As an alleged speeding violation isnot a arrestable offense, being an infraction of the Vehicle Code,not a substantive crime, and no penal code misdemeanor had beencommitted in the knowing presence of the LAPD, the LAPD wasperforming a false arrest and false imprisonment. Such an arrestwithout the force of law is an act of kidnapping (Pen C S207 (a)Every person who forcibly ..... arrests any person in this state,and carries the person into another country, state, or county, orinto another part of the same county, is guilty of kidnapping.)

The Department of Motor Vehicles and magistrates sitting to hearand set an adminis-trative record for possible review for DMV haveblind eyes when they permit/condone abuse of process ofadministrative law procedure by state/local agencies. But, suchis the method of procedure which unconstitutionally sweeps into agiant net all individuals merely because they are using a wheeledconveyance/automobile/truck upon the common highways/streets, notof a class supervised by the DMV, or subject to the jurisdiction ofthe Statutes 1959, Vehicle Code are falsely arrested, falselyimprisoned and fined and suffer fines and assessments where nostate money of account exists.

It is the author's opinion that the cop on the street in his blackand white actually believes that he is functioning as a peaceofficer when he writes civil notices and that all individuals usingstreets and common highways are subject to his jurisdiction andVehicle Code and Department of Motor Vehicles. As the "cop" is noteducated to know the truth, he is being used by the DMV and themagistrates in municipal tribunals to violate the rights of themotorist using the common highways for personal or businessuse, who cannot be compelled to be licensed and pay "use taxes"when the conveyance is not dedicated to the use by the generalpublic for its benefit.WITHOUT THE DUMB COP THE DMV WOULD BE LIMITED BY THE NATURE OFSPECIAL PROCEEDING REQUIREMENT UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AND THETRUTH WOULD BE KNOWN TO ALL MOTORISTS THAT THE COP IS NOTFUNCTION-ING AS A PEACE OFFICER BUT AN INFORMER FOR THE DEPARTMENTOF MOTOR VEHICLES AS NO POLICE POWER CAN BE ATTACHED BY THE LEGIS-LATURE TO ANY RESOLUTION FOR ENACTMENT OF A PRIVATE STATUTEAS TO A CLASS OF PEOPLE.

CALIFORNIA IS A REPUBLIC. THE FLAG OF CALIFORNIA BEARS ONLY THEWORDS "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC ". THERE IS NO FLAG FOR THE STATE OF

Page 6: Redbook on Travel

CALIFORNIA ONLY A CORPORATE SEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. [TheRepublic was created by the representatives of the People to do forthe People that which they could not do themselves. Run thebusiness of government; Article I Legislative Department "Alllegislative powers herein granted .... Sec 7 Mode of passing laws"Every bill .. before it becomes a law [No law shall be passedexcept by bill]. Article II Executive Department .... Executivepower shall be vested in... Article III Judicial Department - Thejudicial power shall be vested... [When California applied forStatehood in 1850 it agreed that it would write a Constitution forCalifornia which would be in complete compliance with theNational Constitution and would guarantee a Republic form ofgovernment for the people of California and that the NationalConstitution was the Supreme Law of the Land, that all laws enactedby the Legislature would be in accord with the NationalConstitution]

STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS A BUSINESS CORPORATION [Because the NationalConstitution prohibits the Republic from engaging in privatebusiness with the People, and from passing any "Law impairing theObligations of Contracts" see Article I S10, paragraph 1, U.S.C.an interesting paradox now exists in the relationship of the Peopleof the Republic and the People of the State of California]

OF: A term denoting that from which anything proceeds; indicatingorigin, source, descent, as "he is of a race of kings". The wordhas been held equivalent to at, or belonging to; Davis vs State 38Ohio st 506; Associated with or connected with, usually in somecasual relation, formal or final. Black's 4th p1232. A "State" asin State of California is a "corporate fiction" existing only inthought, created and sustained only and purely in the minds of men.A freewill body politic. [This is because the Constitution does notempower any state legislature to create "corporations byconstitutional powers" but only by consent of parties incorporated][All corporations function by an administrative procedure andare without police power when they perform as business agencies.Administrative agencies are so prolific and reach into so manyaspects of the citizens lives that they are now considered to bethe Fourth Branch of Government] [As agencies without theauthority to exist, they are legal fictions, organizations used todo and perform functions/roles/purposes which a Republic Governmentcannot do under constitutional authority. Do engage in privatebusiness activities and thereby regulate business activities andregulate/control individuals by licensing law, enjoying the rightto earn a livelihood, or deceive individuals to ask to be

incorporated/licensed/organized as part of a Corporate Statebecause they believe they have a need for special privileges but,the constitutional right/privilege exists without the"make-believe" entity which has no constitutional power to grant aconditioned right/privilege when the right and privilege isrecognized antecedent to the constitution.

BOTTOM LINE QUESTION. When and how did the People in theirsovereign capacity, in the Constitution [a contract withlimitations clearly defined within the Articles and Bill of Rights]grant the power for the Republic Government to create CorporateEntity Federal Government and those Corporate State Entities whichcreate other private corporations and grant members privileges notconstitutional? [If the author is in some way mistaken in theabove, absent the voluntariness of the individual, how can anyindividual be compelled to ask for "privileges" when he has the"right" under the Constitution?]

MINI - BIO OF THE AUTHOR/PUBLISHER

The author is a natural born rebel of the mature age of 70. Hisyears of experience in society, in the job market, in marriages,etc. have given him an insight not available to the individualinexperienced, whose knowledge may be acquired by reading, etc.,but until it has been experienced and emotionally impactedpersonally, it is merely book lore. His attitudes and beliefs wereingrained at birth by New England traditions and parentageand a school system far more demanding of the student, than today'ssystem. More was expected of the individual scholastically, dresscode of personal pride, image of self. We were conditioned by theneed to perform to a standard which had to be attained by effort,taught that the mind must be probing, questioning, asking why. Theauthor, Arthur Frank Sanford, is not a text book teacher. What hehas learned from the text books have been taken into the courts andtribunals of this state since 1984, in the Superior Courts andReview Courts as well as numerous municipal courts/tribunals.

Issues run the gamut from "traffic" Civil Notices in municipaltribunals sitting as magistrates for the Department of MotorVehicles, to Superior Court actions for false arrest/impris-onment by defendants as Judges/magistrates, Deputy Sheriffs and theSheriff and District Attorney of San Bernadino County and theirspouses.

Author currently has an action for false arrest/imprisonment naming

Page 8: Redbook on Travel

Ira Reiner, District Attorney of Los Angeles County and a DeputyDistrict Attorney of that county as defendants remanded back toFederal District Court by the Federal District Court of Appeal fora cause of action showing by author. That was a case wherein I wasalleged to be an evil person practicing barratry because I hadfiled 11 actions suing public officials for false arrest/imprisonment and 3 of the suits named Mr. Reiner as defendantacting under color of law and misuse and malicious abuse of hisoffice. Needlessly to say, it has been a long, tough experiencetrying to get an elected public officer to stand in a court underoath to account for his malicious prosecution of my right to"petition the Government for redress of grievances" when he is adefendant.

Pro per and pro se litigants are led down a rocky road to deterthem from reaching the goal at the end of the road. The victoryis always sweeter when won the hard way. Trite but true, "when thegoing gets tough the tough get going."

PEACE OFFICERS JURISDICTION DEFINED DOES NOT EXIST WITHIN VEHICLECODE

PEACE OFFICER. This term is variously defined by statute in thedifferent states; but generally it includes sheriffs, and theirdeputies, constables, marshals, members of the police force ofcities, and other officers whose duty is to enforce and preservethe public peace. Black's 4th p 1287

s830.2 Members of highway patrol

Page 10: Redbook on Travel

(a) Any member of the California Highway Patrol, provided that theprimary duty of the peace officer shall be the enforcement of theprovisions of the Vehicle Code or any other law relating to the useof vehicles upon the highways, so as that duty is set forth in theVehicle Code.

Penal Code. s830.3 Particular officers

The following persons are peace officers whose authority extends toany place in the state for the purpose of performing their primaryduty or when making an arrest pursuant to s836 of the Penal Code asto any public offense, with respect to which there is an immediatedanger to person or property, or of the escape of the perpetratorof such offense, or pursuant to ss859.7, 859.8.....of GovernmentCode

s830.3 (d)

Department of Motor Vehicles; employees.Employees of the DMV designated in s1655 of the Vehicle Code,provided primary duty of such peace officer shall be theenforcement of the law as that duty is set forth in s1655 of suchcode.

s1655 VC Peace Officer Powers.

(a) The director, a deputy director, the chief and assistant chiefof the Division of Compliance of the Department and investigatorsof the department shall have the powers of peace officer for thepurpose of enforcing provisions of law now or hereafter committedto the administration of the department.

(b) Any person designated in subd. (a) may inspect any vehicle ofa type required to be registered under this code, or any componentpart thereof, in any garage, repair shop, parking lot, used carlot.......... or any other establishment engaged in the business ofselling, repairing ........ for the purpose of investigating thetitle and registration of the vehicles.....[So, it is obvious that the peace powers of the DMV is limited tonon-criminal activities]

POLICE OFFICER. One of the staff of men employed in cities andtowns to enforce the municipal police, i.e., the laws and goodorder of he community. Otherwise called "police man" Black's p 1317

Page 11: Redbook on Travel

DEPARTMENT OF THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL

Administration

2100. There is in the Business, Transportation and Housing Agencythe Department of California Highway Patrol

2103. The department is the successor to and is vested with theduties, powers, purposes, responsibilities, and the jurisdiction ofthe former Division of Enforcement of the Department of MotorVehicles, known as the California Highway Patrol.

Article 3. Powers and DutiesLaw Enforcement

s2400 VC. Commissioner shall administer [then follows all thevarious duties, none of which include private persons traveling,driving, transporting for self or other private parties]

s2401.1 VC. The commissioner shall enforce all laws regulating theoperation of vehicles and the use of the highways, [this sectionthen proceeds to define the limitations of the commissioner][The pertinent paragraph herein is " ... city police officers whileengaged primarily in general law enforcement duties mayincidentally enforce state and local traffic laws and ordinances onstate freeways within incorporated areas of the state" [No mentionis made that those powers extend to private persons who travel,drive or transport for personal reasons or for such person whotransports for another private person]

DEPARTMENT. Generally, a branch or division of governmentaladministration. Black's Revised 4th Ed p524

With reference to state or municipal administration, a "bureau" ismerely a division of a department. supra2256. State Traffic Officer of the California Highway Patrol.

[So, a highway patrol officer is a "traffic officer" whoseauthority is the enforcement of traffic rules and regulations asdelineated clearly in Vehicle Code, a private civil code(legislative private statute limited to "traffic" conducted by theuse/operation/driving of commercial motor vehicles on the statehighways. His peace officer power is limited to the enforcement ofcrime, does not reach private travelers and motorists]

Page 12: Redbook on Travel

TRAFFIC. Commerce, the subjects of transportation, on a route, aspersons or goods; the passing to and fro of persons, animals,vehicles along a route of transportation, as along a street.Black's p 1667The peace officer's power is limited to the enforcement of crime,to wit: s830.1 Sheriffs, police, marshals, constables, inspectorsand investigators of district attorneys and designated departmentof justice personnel.[Such peace officers, supra, have no power to enforce Vehicle Code]

s830.2(a) Any member of the California Highway Patrol, provided that theprimary duty of the peace officer shall be the enforcement of theprovisions of the Vehicle Code or of any other law relating to theuse or operation of vehicles upon the highways, as that duty is setforth in Vehicle Code.

[Such members have no authority to enforce the vehicle code, as topersons who are not using or operating vehicles under theprovisions of the Code as they are "motorists"]

MOTORIST. A person who drives an automobile or travels byautomobile; especially one who does so frequently but, not as anoccupation. Webster's Dict, Unabridged 2nd Ed.

OPERATOR. To "operate" any motor vehicle proscribes [forbids]illegal operation of "transportation business" rather than physicaloperation of the vehicle itself. Statute imposing penalty foroperation of motor vehicle without first obtaining a license shouldbe strictly construed "in favor" of one against whom imposition ofa penalty is sought "Kramer vs Haley", 439 P2d 1968, 573, 574

USE. "Use means, among other things, "to carry out a purpose oraction by means of" to "make instrumental to an end of purpose orprocess" and to "apply to an advantage" People vs Chambers (1972)Cal3d 666,672

[So, if an automobile or truck is not being used as a means ofoperating in the business of trafficking on state or city highwaysthe user of that vehicle is not subject to the authority ofDepartment of Motor Vehicles or any peace officer or "trafficofficer" employee of the California Highway Patrol or municipality][It is implied within civil Vehicle Code, a private businessstatute, by reading the context in its entirety that an individualnot within the jurisdiction of Department of Motor Vehicles or a

Page 13: Redbook on Travel

Traffic Officer of the California Highway Patrol is "exempt" fromarrests under the code, absent the public offense, by personalprivilege under the constitution, National and State.

[However, such a person if brought into a tribunal before amagistrate, that immunity must be asserted and claimed by a motionto quash, otherwise it is waived]

In Ex Parte Emmett 7 P2d 1096, 120 CalApp 349 the court was rulingon immunity from arrest of public officials when engaged in theirofficial capacity and members of the legislature while legislaturewas in session, such immunity was recognized a common law ofEngland and is observed under the constitution of this country asto the rights, privileges of the Individual and by the civil codesof the state when an individual is not engaged in regulatedbusiness activity of particular code.

WHEN POLICE OFFICERS ABUSE THEIR OFFICES, "ACTIONS FOR DAMAGES MAYOFFER ONLY REALISTIC AVENUE FOR VINDICATION OF CONSTITUTIONALGUARANTEES"

Harlow vs Fitzgerald (1982) 457 US at 814[Police officers stopping a vehicle under guise of alleged VehicleCode violations and color of uniform are acting outside the scopeand duty as police officers and violate the Fourth Amendmentrestraints imposed on the States by the Fourteenth amendment of theFederal Constitution, to the harm of the people stopped] "TheFourth Amendment forbids stopping a vehicle even for the limitedpurpose of questioning its occupants unless the police officer hasa founded suspicion of criminal conduct"

United States vs Ramirez-Sandoval, 872 F2d 1392"Founded suspicion must exist at the time the officer initiates thestop"

United States vs Thomas 863 F2d 622, 625"In evaluating whether founded suspicion exists, the totality ofthe circumstances should be considered"

United States vs Sokolow, 490 US 1, 8United States vs Hernandez-Alvarado, 891 F2d 1414"founded suspicion exists when the officer is aware of specificarticulable facts, that, together with rational inferences drawsfrom them, reasonably warrant a suspicion that the person to bedetained has committed or is about to commit a crime"

Page 14: Redbook on Travel

United States vs Cortez, 449 US 411, 416United States vs Robert L., 874 F2d 701, 703"The Unites States Supreme Court has defined and limitedinvestigative detentions. Any restraint of a person for thepurposes of checking identification and asking questions ordetaining him or her briefly while obtaining is such a detention;it comports with the Fourth Amendment only when based onarticulable facts supporting a reasonable suspicion that the personhas committed a criminal offense. The mere presence with someonewho has outstanding arrest warrant is not sufficient"

United States vs Hensley, 469 US 221, 83 L Ed2d 604"In a unanimous decision the United States Supreme Court held, "Ademand for identification is an intrusion on the interestsprohibited by the Fourth Amendment and requires a reasonablesuspicion based on articulable facts relating to the person or hisor her conduct, in order to be lawful"(3) When police officers, with or without arresting an individual,detain the individual for the purpose of requiring him to identifyhimself, they perform a seizure of person subject to therequirements of the Fourth Amendment........that the defendant's conviction requiring identificationupon a lawful police stop was improper, the police officer'sstopping the defendant's First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments was inviolation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Unites StatesConstitution when the police officer has no reasonable suspicion tobelieve that the defendant was engaged or had been engaged incriminal conduct"

Brown vs Texas (1979) 443 US 46; 61 L Ed2d 357"A person driving an automobile cannot be stopped to see if he orshe is licensed to drive unless there is reasonable suspicion theperson he engaged in criminal conduct"

Delaware vs Prouse (1979) 440 US 648, 59 L Ed2d 660"The demand to produce a Driver's License to a police officer ispermitted in California when the officer is enforcing provisions ofVehicle Code s12951 (b)"

Page 15: Redbook on Travel

[Understand that the police officer is not acting within his scopeand duty as a police officer, but as an officer acting as aninformant for the Department of Motor Vehicles, a private PublicService Agency, itself without police power, thus the officercannot act as police officer which only has jurisdiction over itslicensees while they are engaged in some activity within the scopeof the DMV's jurisdiction]

"A law enforcement officer who observes a person engaged in anyactivity for which a license is required may demand to see thelicense certificate, with no other "probable cause" than theobservation"

People vs Nun (1968) 264 CalApp2d 919, 922Kennett vs Municipal Court, 290 F. Supp 746, 747[The "law enforcement officer" would be a "traffic officer" asclearly defined in Vehicle Code under California Highway PatrolOfficer. This is patently clear from the limitation in DELAWARE(supra) that there must be a reasonable suspicion of criminalactivity by a police officer. So, if a "law enforcementofficer/traffic officer" has no articulable facts that a person isengaged in any commercial business activity and the person is alicensee of the Department of Motor Vehicles at the time of theobservation, it is outside his power as a "law enforcementofficer/traffic officer"]

Broussard, Justice, United States Supreme Court in ruling againstroving stops cited Almeida-Sanchez vs Unites States (1973) 413 US166, which stated:

"Court rejects the argument that driving is a persuasivelyregulated activity subjecting motorists to roving stops. Courtexplains that a roving stop of a motorist was unreasonable, driverwas not in the same position as the gun manufacturer or liquordistributor who had in effect consented to the inspection byentering a heavily regulated industry"

Common highway."A road to be used by the community at large for any purpose oftransit or traffic"

Ham. NP 239; Railway Co vs State, 23 Fla 546; 3 So 158, 11 Am StRep 395[Thus, the motorist using the "common highways" without thecommission of a crime is not the subject of

investigation/supervision and arrest by "police officer/lawenforcement officer/traffic officer][So, on a traffic stop by a uniformed officer with a badge, gun,club, and mace, because you do not know in which capacity he isstopping you, civil vehicle code enacted as a statute, or peaceofficer with arrest power under Penal C s836 for enforcement ofpublic offenses, misdemeanors & felonies, before you answer anyquestions or produce any licenses, registration certificate, youmust ask him and get an answer;

"is this a "civil arrest" or is

this a "criminal arrest?"

LEGISLATIVE POWERS OF CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC ARE LIMITED BY THENATIONAL AND STATE'S CONSTITUTION

[State governments like National government can claim only treekinds of subjects (citizens)

1. Members or agents of their government

2. Violators of Law

3. Government creations; administrative agencies which are calledFourth Branch of government and are business corporations which ofthat which the Republic cannot, regulate individuals][The part of which we only consider here is the legislature when itsits as an Article I s7 para.3 body. The concern here is thelimited power of enacted 'resolutions', 'joint resolutions' and'simple resolutions']

BILLS OF LAW have the Force of Law on all members of the generalcitizenry and cannot be created by 'resolutions, orders and Vote.[Note that all references herein as to authority are taken fromthe National Constitution as all powers of the States are limitedas those of the National Government] "The power to makeResolutions.

Resolution. Black's 3rdJOINT RESOLUTION. A resolution adopted by both houses of congressor a legislature. When such a resolution has been approved by thePresident (Governor) or passed with his approval, it has the effectof law.

6 Opinions Attorney General 680[However, HD 95-259 defines "JOINT" ....... resolutions neither ofwhich arise from any Constitutional- Authority brings up anotherform of legislation not authorized by the Constitution:the STATUTE]

"Joint resolutions may originate either in the house of

Page 20: Redbook on Travel

Representatives or in the Senate - not, as may be supposed, jointlyin both Houses. There is little practical difference between a Billand a Joint resolution, [if not, why don't they call it a Bill?]and, although the latter are not as numerous as Bills, the twoforms are often used indiscriminately. Statutes that have beeninitiated as Bills have later been amended by Joint Resolution, andvice versa [p7]

[HD 95-259 concludes its definition with what appears to be anunconstitutional statement] "JOINT RESOLUTIONS become law in thesame manner a Bills" [But it is not unconstitutional.Notice who wrote the sentence; Dr. Charles Zinn, author of theHouse Document 95-259 is a licensed agent of the House ofRepresentatives. As a lawyer, he is a licensed also by the SupremeCourt. As an agent of government, he is its subject, bound by itsresolutions. For him, resolutions are Law.Remember, a bill is a petition given by a nobleman [governmentofficial] or his subject to the legislative body to be made into alaw benefiting the petitioner without binding other nobleman. So,look to see if a statute accomplishes the same purpose]

STATUTE: Black's 4th p 1581:An act of the legislature declaring, commanding, or prohibitingsome thing; law enacted and established by the will of thelegislative department of government; the written will of thelegislature, solemnly expressed according to the forms necessary toconstitute it the law of the state.

Statutes are two in nature.

PRIVATE STATUTE: A statute which operates only upon particularpersons, and private concerns 1 Bl. Comm 86 An act which relatesto certain individuals, or to particular classes of men. Statevs Chambers, 93 NC 600

PUBLIC STATUTE: A statute enacting a universal rule which regardsthe whole community, as distinguished from one which concerns onlyparticular individuals and effects only their private rights. CodeCivil Proc, Calk s 1898

STATUTES " at large" Black's 5th:Open to discussion or controversy; not precluded. [So, "Statutes atLarge" are in fact merely exercises of the legislature's will, thesolemn declarations, commands and prohibitions of governmentalsubjects, all of them open to discussion and controversy. they are

Page 21: Redbook on Travel

merely "the law of the state" or law applicable to members of thestate. (members are "One of the persons, constituting apartnership, association, corporation, guild, etc. In re Sixth WardBuilding and Loan Ass. of Newark, 134 NJ Eq. 98, 34 A2d 292, 294;one of the persons cons-tituting a court, a legislative assembly,etc. In re Heafy, 247 AppDiv 277, 285 NYS 188, 193;Members of Congress (legislature) A member of the senate or houseof representatives of the United States (state legislature)

So, further limitations and restrictions of the state powers as toprivate individuals who have no nexus with the state as 'members','public officials', any branch of the Republic or anyAdministrative Agency do not come within the provisions of the'private statutory law' Vehicle Code absent the knowing, freevoluntary application for such privileges as the individual wishesto enjoy in lieu of rights under the Commerce Clause of theNational Constitution as in the words of HD 95-259 "Statutes arenot law but 'legal' evidence of the laws contained in them and willbe accepted as proof of those laws in any court in the UnitedStates. Evidence is rebuttable. Proof is challengeable. And it isproved in the clear, unambiguous language of the Constitution. thatstatutes and resolutions are not Bills, they are not Laws of theUnited States (California Republic) [When the CaliforniaLegislature enacted Vehicle Code and established Department ofMotor Vehicles, a private department within Business,Transportation, and Housing Agency no police power could attachedby California Plenary Power] "Legislature cannot delegate power todefine crime or impose penalty to administrative- agency"

Ex parte Cox 63 Cal 21; In re Mclain 190 Cal 376, 379[Thus, violations of Vehicle Code are not substantive crimes underPenal Code subject at law to penalty of fines and assessments andincarceration/encagement]

ADDENDUM 1

"The police power-the power to make laws secure the comfort,convenience, peace and health of the community- is an extensiveone, and in its exercise a very wide discretion as to what isneedful or proper for that purpose is necessarily committed to thelegislative body in which the power to make such laws is vested (Exparte Tuttle 91 Cal 589)" "But, it is not true that when this poweris exerted for the purpose of regulating a business or occupation,which in itself is recognized as innocent and useful to thecommunity, the legislature is the exclusive judge as to what is

Page 22: Redbook on Travel

reasonable and just restraint upon the constitutional right of thecitizen to pursue such business or profession As the right of thecitizen to engage in such a business or follow such a profession isprotected by the constitution, it is always a judicial questionwhether any particular regulation of such right is valid exerciseof legislative power (Tiedman's Limitation of Police Power secs 85,195; State vs New Jersey, 47 NJL 286; Commonwealth vs Robertson 5Cush 438; Austin vs Murray 16 Pick 121) This principle is statedvery forcibly in the case of Mulger vs Kansas 123 US 661, in thefollowing language:

"The courts are not bound by mere forms, nor are they to be misledby mere pretenses. They are at liberty-indeed, are under solemnduty-to look at the substance of things when ever they enter uponthe inquiry whether the legislature has transcended the limits ofits authority. If therefore, a statute purporting to have beenenacted to protect the public health, public morals, or publicsafety, has no real or substantial relationship to those objects,or is palpable invasion of rights secured by fundamental rightssecured by fundamental law, it is this duty of the courts to soadjudge, and thereby give effect to the constitution"

"And so also in the MATTER OF JACOBS 98 NY 108; 50 Am Rep 636,Earl, J., in delivering the opinion of the court in that case, saidin relation to the power of the legislature to make policeregulations: "The limit of the power cannot be accurately defined,and the courts have not been able or willing definitely tocircumscribe it. But the power, however, broad and extensive, isnot above the constitution. When it speaks its voice must beheeded. It furnishes the supreme law and the guide for the conductof legislators, judges and private persons, and so far as itimposes restraints, the police power must be exercised insubordination thereto" And the necessary limitation upon the powerof the legislature to interfere with the fundamental rights of thecitizens in the enactment of police regulations, was recognized bythis court in Ex parte Sing Lee 96 Cal 354, in which case we saidthat the personal liberty of the citizen and his rights of propertycannot by invaded under the disguise of a police regulation.

[Thus, all provisions in Chapter 2 Procedure on Arrests ofCalifornia Vehicle Code are not lawful arrests by a peace officerin this scope and duty as a peace officer as no police powerattaches to any vehicle code or any civil code enacted by alegislature of any state and must be challenged as such SeeChapter 2

Page 23: Redbook on Travel

Remember, all alleged violations of any code are mala prohibita,not true crimes, mala in se] [Setting aside the settled question ofpolice power, obviously no man/person is the subject of arresteither while engaged in business of trafficking on the publichighway of which that man is a member of the general public inpursuit of happiness for himself and his family by using the rightto earn a livelihood in some commercial activity thereon , absentthe crime mala in se]

["actual controversy between parties" raises question of "realparty in interest?" Can the district attorney of a County or cityattorney appear for the People of the State when the issue is oneof Vehicle Code mala prohibita, and the DMV is not a constitutionalState Agency and the Real Party in Interest is the Department ofMotor Vehicles, and no real controversy exists between the peopleand the man, in or out of the jurisdiction of the Department?]

[In OK Corp vs Williams the review court said that if agovernment agency had standing and status to appear beforeadministrative agency, which has original jurisdiction to hear onenforcement of its own rules and regulations, then that governmentagency must, first instance go to the administrative agency, not tothe judiciary, otherwise, it denies the administrative agency itspower to enforce its rules and regulations, to the harm of the

agency and the defendant] [Obviously, the controversy exists onlybetween the administrative agency and its licensees and prosecutingattorneys for the people are limited to mala in se crimes] [for thepeople to be a Real Party in Interest, the people appearing asplaintiff and represented by a prosecuting attorney must have aninterest because they have been harmed]

"Plaintiff in a suit is not 'the real party in interest' unlesshe is a party who may be benefitted or injured by the judgment inthe case" Jackson vs McGilbray 148 P 703, 705; 166 P 1077, 1078

"Real party is one having actual and substantial interest in thesubject matter"Carey etc vs Sisco 64 SW 2d 430Mosher vs Hines 154 P2d 372, 373

[So, if by some quirk of which the author is ignorant, the people'sprosecuting attorney is actually appearing for the people, then,shouldn't he show the Department of Motor Vehicles as the RealParty in Interest?] [Author has stated within the RED BOOK thatmunicipal courts sit as ministerial officer in the municipal court,as an 'arm' of the DMV, and thus is bound by the proceduresdemanded in vehicle code for purposes of hearing, etc]

"Where the legislative scheme of delegation of power to an agencymakes a court the 'arm' of the agency in recording its order andaffording execution thereon, the agency and not the court retainsjurisdiction to modify or stay the order, and to determine thesufficiency of the performance thereunder"Vickich vs Superior Court 105 CA 587, 288 P 127;Independent etc vs RR Comm 70 CA2d 816, 161 P2d 827

[Now , assuming you have appeared before the municipal courthearing for DMV and unhappy with the order, which has been sent tothe DMV for its records, because you did not choose the alternativeavailable infra, appeal would be a review by Court of Appeal, along, long process.

another tribunal" Dominguez vs Pendola 46 CA 220

[See the form for transferring the matter to the agency from themunicipal court a part of this RED BOOK] [It is the opinion of theauthor that when the court sits as an 'arm' of the DMV,and uses the sham tactics of a notice to appear constitutes acomplaint, and uses the ploy of the quasi-criminal procedure, toput the fear of arrest into your mind and no warrant of arrest isissued then the procedure is summary. See Chapter 28 SUMMARYPROCEEDINGS

ADDENDUM[The author of RED BOOK is constantly becoming aware of new issuesand means of attacking the lack of juris of courts regardless ofthe manner in which they sit] [Now we come to the issue of venueof cops/sheriffs/prosecuting attorneys for the People, and thecourt, for there are many courts; Courts within counties, withinprovinces, within judicial districts, within municipal courts sit;appellate courts which sit only to review judgments and orders andlaw within districts of a County, and Supreme Court of the State ofCalifornia, the only actual STATE COURT sitting for the STATE, notcounties, districts, municipalities.

This Court, in essence, sits to control the appellate courts withindistricts and trial courts within counties or municipalities.][All prosecutions for mala prohibita are tried by a quasi-criminalprocedure, although the court or prosecuting party will not use theprefix quasi, but criminal, in any nature, demand due process oflaw under Amendment Six.

"All criminal prosecutions ... and thedistrict wherein the crime shall have been committed, whichdistrict shall have been previously ascertained by law...."[Veh Code is statutory law, as such, it has force of law uponlicensees of DMV while engaged in inter-state commerce only withinthe state, on state highways. It's force of law does not extendinto incorporated or unincorporated venues, as, towns/cities/counties.

Local municipalities have their own business ordinances requiring alicense, so, State Veh Code, cannot intrude into their geographicalvenue/jurisdiction. Any notice to appear issued within those entitiesjuris/venue which cites sections of Veh Code is void/null.

Thus, the individual employee of a particular entity in issuing amala prohibita notice, must file it with the enforcement agency

Page 34: Redbook on Travel

within that municipal entity; the Sheriff of a County, with theCounty enforcement agency; the police officer of a particulartown/city with the enforcement agency therein.

[So, the only issue here is, what courts have venue to hearmatters of mala prohibita vehicle code; does any local enforcementagency have venue to enforce Vehicle Code; if the enforcementagency is the California Department of Highway Patrol, whereenforcement venue is restricted to state highways, can enforcementpower lie to file a Veh Code Notice to appear in or go before alocal district court, whose general juris is limited to mala in seand civil actions within that district?

Can a district court, county or justice, whose juris is limited tothe district within which it exists, entertain Veh C Notices whichare limited to state property highways by the local constabulary ora sheriff of the county citing State Law?] [Legislative statutesare only as to the corporate state and have no force of law otherthan to a class of citizens engaged in commerce on state highways;so what court may sit as 'arm' of the DMV? Can any court sit as'arm' of DMV?]

[Can the DMV delegate its state power to a local entity for purposeof enforcing its rules and regulations?] [Can any district courtof appeal, municipal court of a judicial district, or justicecourt of a district, have the original jurisdiction of a StateStatute when the mala prohibita was committed within their judicialdistrict?] [Is it not, in fact, error by local districtprosecuting attorney's for the People to initiate any action withinany court of this State, first instance, for the People, when thePeople of the State have no interest in administrative mattersregardless of the nature of the penalties]

READ AGAIN, OK Corp vs Williams[State Legislature may only enact statutes of the State, cannotenact statutes/ordinances for local entities, municipalities,districts, or unincorporated areas] [Legislature recognizes itslimitations as to regulations of traffic within municipalcommunities and so permits them to adopt rules and regulations forlocal traffic control]

Article 3 Local Regulation Vehicle CodeRules and Regulations; subject matter s21100 Local authorities mayadopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution regardingthe following matters:

(b) Licensing and regulating the operation of vehicles for hireand drivers of passenger vehicles for hire and drivers of passengervehicles for hire

(c)Regulating traffic by means of traffic officers Regulating ofHighways; Vehicle Code s21101 Local authorities, for thosehighways under their juris, may adopt rules and regulations byordinance or resolution on the following matters:[The subsections refer only to vehicular TRAFFIC]

[So, if you are a man, not using a vehicle for hire or a driver notfor hire, not a licensee of the local entity, how, in what manner,can the local entity have the juris to bring you under charges, intheir local court citing the State of California Vehicle Code?Should it not, if it has juris of the man, take him before thelocal enforcement agency?]

AFFIRMATION: In practice, a solemn and formal declaration orasseveration that an affidavit is true, that the witness will tellthe truth, etc. this being substituted for an oath....."A solemn religious asseveration in the nature of an oath"1 Greenl. Ev. s371

ASSEVERATION: An affirmation, a positive assertion; a solemndeclaration. This word is seldom, if ever, used for a declarationmade under oath, but denotes a declaration accompanied with solemn-ity or an appeal to the conscience, whereas by an oath one appealsto God as a witness of the truth of what one says.

only by parties with a commercial nexus with the State ofCalifornia. Cannot be mandated upon a person without thatrelationship, without any obligation or liability, when she/he isnot a licensee, or is a licensee not enjoying any privilegeat the time of a traffic stop.

Nowhere in Vehicle Code is the word 'privilege' used or impliedor defined as to its nature. It is the author's opinion that uponreceipt of a Notice to Appear by some person using the commonpublic highways of the state, immediately an Asseveration should befiled with the District Attorney of the County and with the Clerkof the Municipal Court]

NOTICE TO APPEAR IS EXTRA-JUDICIAL CIVIL/ADMINISTRATIVE

[A notice to appear is an extra-judicial civil notice forinitiation of civil procedure. Before it may compel appearance itmust issue by a court sitting with magistrate hearing foradministrative agency and person named is within jurisdiction ofthe administrative agency]

"Notice to appear is an invitation to appear in court. An accusedmay not wish to accept officer's invitation to appear in court"8 Misc2d 140

"The issuance of a traffic ticket is not an arrest, rather it is achoice to appear in a given court on a given day, at which time acharge may be made"Jones vs State, 167 NYS2d 53699 Ohio App 165 131 NE2d 682[In California, any issue of a traffic ticket is considered to bean arrest]

s40300 The provisions of this chapter shall govern all peaceofficers in making arrests for violations of this code withoutwarrant for offenses committed in their presence, but any procedureprescribed herein, shall not otherwise be exclusive of any othermethod prescribed by law for the arrest and prosecution of a personfor an arrest for an offense of like grade. [Remember, the offensecommitted in his presence must be while engaged in an activityregulated by the Department of Motor Vehicles.]

Page 39: Redbook on Travel

"Officer was not duly sworn at the time of issue of notice andnotice was not verified, therefore, the notice is null and void,and has no legal binding in this court or in this cause"Federal, 34 US 969Gleason, 32 Kansas 245Balard, 43 Ohio 340

"Held, that a uniform traffic ticket is not sufficient informationto be used as a pleading, and held that the absence of verifiedinformation was a jurisdictional defect which could not be waivedby plea of guilty" 3 NY2d 148

"A notice is not ordinarily to be considered a process for allwrits and process shall be under the seal of the court which theyshall issue, shall be signed by the clerk thereof, and shall bearthe teste of the judge or the Clerk"Chisholm vs Gilmer 299 US 99, 299 US 623

"As the notice does not allege or show any probable cause for anarrest and the fact that the petitioner was released on a promiseto appear before a committing magistrate for an arraignment, thatfact is circumstance, to be considered in determining whether infirst instance there was a probable cause for the arrest"Monroe vs Pape, Illinois 1963, 221 F Supp 635

[Here the United States Supreme Court has agreed that a Notice toAppear is an arrest, and in nature is a false arrest as when doubtexists that there is a probable cause. So, a person signing thatNotice, "Without admitting guilt..... " has

1. been released from physical custody arrest, Is in the'constructive custody' of the magistrate sitting as administrativeofficer of the administrative agency (here Department of MotorVehicles),

2. has not denied guilt of committing some cited section of VehicleCode and so it is not a plea of not guilty and cannot be a plea ofany nature and does not give subject matter jurisdiction to acourt. Such a compelled extra-judicial plea cannot be made on anextra-judicial civil process Notice to Appear, nor to a court bysuch a Notice/traffic ticket, or to a 'magistrate' even whensitting in a 'quasi' [that which seems but is not in fact] criminalprocedure.

[Remember, any officer of a court, regardless of how he sits in ahearing, has taken an oath of allegiance to uphold the Constitutionof the United States and is bound by the limited authority grantedto him by the people in its Bill of Rights to the government. TheFourteenth Amendment controls all administrative notice, hearingand adjudication proceedings where the party accused is a licenseeand was engaged in the activities under the jurisdiction of theagency on the date of the accusation initiated by a Notice toAppear]

"An action by the Department of Motor Vehicles, whetherdirectly or through a court sitting administratively as the hearingofficer, must be clearly defined in the statute before it hassubject matter jurisdiction. Without such jurisdiction of thelicensee, all acts of the agency, by its employees, agents, hearingofficers, are null and void"Doolan vs Carr, 125 US 618 City vs Pearson, 181 Cal 640

Page 41: Redbook on Travel

"Agency, or party sitting for the agency, (which would be themagistrate of a municipal court) has no authority to enforce as toany LICENSEE unless he is acting for compensation. Such an act ishighly penal in nature, and should not be construed to includeanything which is not embraced within its terms. (Where) there isno charge within a complaint, no evidence to prove a charge ifit were in a complaint, that the accused was employed forcompensation to do the act complained of, or that the actconstituted a part of a contract."Schomig vs Keiser, 189 Cal 596

"When acting to enforce a statute and its subsequent amendments tothe present date, the judge of the municipal court is acting as anadministrative officer and not in a judicial capacity; courts inadministering or 'enforcing' statutes do not act judicially, butmerely 'ministerially'"Thompson vs Smith, 154 SE 583

"A judge ceases to sit as a judicial officer because the governingprinciple of administrative law provides that courts are prohibitedfrom substituting their evidence, testimony, record, arguments,and rationale for that of the agency. Additionally, courts areprohibited from substituting their judgments for that of theagency. Courts in administrative issues are prohibited from evenlistening to or hearing arguments, presentation or rationale."ASIS vs US, 568 F2d 284

"Ministerial officers are incompetent to receive grants of judicialpower from the legislature. Their acts in attempting to exercisesuch powers are necessarily nullities"Burns vs Superior Court, SF, 140 Cal 1

[Thus, if you appear for arraignment on the date noticed on thetraffic ticket, you must inform the magistrate that a municipalcourt cannot hear the matter on the Notice as there has been nodetermination and claim by the issuing officer, or the districtattorney, that you are a person within the jurisdiction of theDepartment of Motor Vehicles.] [Author has exhaustively researchedMotor Vehicle Statutes from 1905 to the present date of 1992 forthe form of Notice to Appear. He has searched the Code of CivilProcedure, but nowhere can he find a NOTICE TO APPEAR.

The root word of NOTICE is defined in Black's 4th page 1211 asfollows:

Page 42: Redbook on Travel

NOTICE. Information; the result of observation, whether by sensesor the mind; knowledge of the existence of a fact or state ofaffairs; the means of knowledge. In another sense, "notice" meansinformation, an advise; written in more or less formal shape,intended to apprise a person of some proceeding in which hisinterests are involved, or informing him of some fact which it ishis right to know, and the duty of the notifying party tocommunicate. [In all of the notices to appear seen by the author,all have been written and given to some motorist by a quasi-peaceofficer, all were extra-judicial and had no seal or teste of anofficer of the court] [Author would suggest the followingprocedure when a person named on a Notice to Appear goes to theclerk of the court, and before appearing in the court room beforethe magistrate:

Question: Is a notice to appear a penal code process?Question: Is a notice a civil procedure under Vehicle Code?Question: Will this matter be heard as a crime?Question: Will this matter be heard by a quasi-criminal procedure?Question: Is this matter a special civil procedure, and will it be heard by a magistrate or judicial officer?

[If the clerk will not answer the questions, then ask for acontinuance so that you will have time to hire an attorney.

When a trial date is set, never ask for a jury trial, even if youare entitled to same. Why? You may ask. Because juries rarely finda defendant 'not guilty', and will always be told the law as thejudge determines it. The only questions you may want answered, arethe law as it does or does not apply to you. When you appeal, youcan only take forward for review the law of the case.

So, you want to be found guilty on the law, not the facts. In thisway, the magistrate cannot argue that he did not find you guilty,the jury did.] [Take note, listen carefully when they call yourcase. You will hear,

The People of the State of California, Plaintiff.

Understand that the People of the State of California areGovernment agents, and agencies of the Corporate State ofCalifornia, are not the People who created California State, arepublic.]

Page 43: Redbook on Travel

[Agents/employees/judicialofficers/magistrates/administrativejudges, are the People of the State of California, a CorporateEntity]

[District attorneys, police officers, cannot prosecute unless thePeople have been harmed. They can only defend or prosecute when thePeople of the Corporate State of California are named as defendantsin civil suit, and the People of the Republic California cannot besued without permission of the People, as they are the sovereign.

[Prosecuting attorney for the People of the State of California,Plaintiff, cannot appear on a Notice to Appear when there has beenno 'public wrong', as the violations of Vehicle Code are privatestatutory 'wrongs', and the People nor the people have an interestin private relationships to which neither is a party an no crimecommitted harming the people]

WRONG: "A violation of the legal rights of another; an invasion ofright to the damage of the parties who suffered it, especially atort" State ex rel 134 SW2d 132, 133

"It usually signifies injury to person, property, or in a moreextended sense, includes violation of contract."Daurizo vs Merchants 274 NYS 174

"The idea of RIGHTS naturally suggests the correlative one ofWRONGS; for every right is capable of being violated. A right tolive in personal security, a wrong on the part of him who commitspersonal violence; and the law is intended for the establish-ment and maintenance of RIGHTS, we find on closer examination, tobe dealing both with rights and wrongs. It first fixes thecharacter and definition of rights and then, with a view to theireffectual security, proceeds to define wrongs, and to devise themeans by which the latter shall be prevented or redressed.1 Steph Comm 126 (Black's 4th page 1788)

[Notice to appear merely cites sections of Vehicle Code, does noteither allege or charge a public wrong or a private wrong by theindividual named on the caption]

PRIVATE WRONG: "The violation of public or probate rights, whenconsidered in reference to the injury sustained by the individual,and consequently as subjects for redress or compensation"Huntington vs Attrill 146 US 657; 36 Led 1123

Page 44: Redbook on Travel

PUBLIC WRONGS: "Violations of public rights and duties which affectthe whole community considered as a community; crimes andmisdemeanors" 3 Blackstones's Commentaries 2. 4 Bl Comm 1Black's 4th p 1788

[Re-reading the above case law, can any reader find a ground forredress when a notice to appear is issued and not engaged in aregulated activity within the jurisdiction of the Department ofMotor Vehicles or the commission of a substantive mala in se crimewithin Penal Code as a wrongful act?]

WRONGFUL ACT: "Any act which in the ordinary course will infringeupon the rights of another to his damage, unless it is done in theequal or superior right "Victor vs Lewis, La App 157 So 293, 295

"No act is 'wrongful' unless the probability of injury to somedeterminate person or class of persons raises the duty as to thosepersons to refrain from such act"Harper vs Remington Arms 280 NYS 862

[A quasi-cop giving a civil extra-judicial notice to appear in acourt before a magistrate and therein the person given the noticeis harmed/injured when taken to a trial without subjectmatter jurisdiction by the magistrate and thereafter suffering afine or jail time has certainly been the victim of a wrongfulconduct wherein no duty attached to the person/individual affected]

WRONGFUL CONDUCT: "Conduct which contravenes some duty which lawattaches to relationship between parties affected"Duncan vs Lumbermen's Mutual 91 NH 349, 23 A2d 325, 326

[Certainly the law attaches a relation between the peace office andthe private citizen wherein the duty to the private citizen who hasnot committed a mala in se crime or a mala prohibita violationpeace officer has a duty not to arrest]

[If the notice to appear was written by a CHiP on a federalInter-state highway giving an appearance date before a countymunicipal court then it is without force for three reasons;

1. Department of Transportation has exclusive Federal Legislative jurisdiction of inter-state highways;

Page 45: Redbook on Travel

2. CHP has no jurisdiction other than on state highways;3. Municipal courts have no subject matter jurisdiction where federal jurisdiction exists]

s41401 VC. No person shall be prosecuted for a violation of anyprovision of this code if the violation was required by a law ofthe federal government, by any rule, regulation, directive or orderof any agency of the federal government, the violation of which issubject to penalty under an act of Congress, or any valid order ofmilitary authority.

[In this situation the particular officer, either traffic officerof peace officer is not only outside the scope and duty of hisoffice, but is outside the area of his jurisdiction even if withinthe scope and duty of his office]

[Here is a case where if the traffic officer is informed of s41401and then writes a Notice to Appear where he cannot, even if theperson given the ticket is trafficking, and an appearance is madeto the magistrate of the court and he is told of the faulty natureof the notice, fails to refuse the matter as being without thecourt's jurisdiction and then accepts a plea of guilty or enters aplea and thereafter renders judgment and imposes a fine, he fallswithin the wrongful conduct making a ripe party for a civil tortact in an individual capacity, was not functioning within hisofficial capacity as officer of the court]

ADDENDUM

[Author has searched Civil Code of Procedure and no where is the a'notice to appear' as part of that procedure]

[Further research on Chisholm produced this. The notice to appearis seemingly being used as a Notice of Motion as used in civilcauses, but fails as a Motion in civil causes as it does notconform, with practice,.pleadings forms and modes of proceedingexisting at this time in like causes in courts of record of Stateas it does not present issues and does not issue pursuant toverified complaint]

[The magistrate informs that a mere notice to appear constitutes acomplaint but 40513(a) clearly states that a notice may only beused as a complaint with permission of a person pleading guilty,any plea of not guilty demands the filing of a formal verifiedcomplaint by a prosecutor as the person issuing the notice is

Page 46: Redbook on Travel

merely a witness of the prosecutor and even the prosecutor musthave a verified complaint provided him by the witness]

[By a plea of not guilty by a person named on a notice, court doesnot obtain subject matter jurisdiction and no trial date may be setbased on a plea of not guilty until a formal verified complaint isfiled with the magistrate]

[Any warrant issued because a person fails to appear for a trial,based only on notice and not guilty plea is an abuse of lawfulprocess and firm ground for action of false arrest and falseimprisonment as to all parties]

[Never enter a plea absent the service of a verified complaint andsummons/warrant. A service of complaint only does not give personamjurisdiction. Absent the warrant/summons no need lies to appear andno violation of a lawful court order exists. Any bench warrant forfailure to appear is an absurdity and void without force of law.Ground for action]

In the case of People vs Domagalski, 89 Daily Journal DAR 12878,court of appeal stated; "This opinion is not intended as anendorsement of the People's delay in filing the subject complaintwith the court. We feel in most cases it would not place an undueburden on the prosecuting agencies to assure that complaints areprepared by the time defendants are scheduled to appear forarraignment. Failure to file the complaint in time for a noticedarraignment, or, in the alternative, to notice the court anddefendant of the need for a continuance, undermines the integrityof judicial process"

[This case cite is presented only so that when a magistrate statesthat the matter before him is a criminal procedure and not a civiland he is sitting as a judge the above ruling does bind him. Butremember, supra, a complaint must be served with thesummons/warrant.]

[The Court of Appeal tells it as it is, one cannot enter a pleawithout being informed of the allegations/charges against thedefendant and the showing of a prima facie and corpus delictiprobable cause]

[The trickery here is that if you stand before the bench and askfor a complaint and warrant and they hand it to you, you are inpersona jurisdiction because there you are, in the flesh. In the

Page 47: Redbook on Travel

trap. If as in the case of Karen, a complaint is asked and thecourt says, "come back in two weeks and we will have on for you"What course of action will be taken by you?]

[Do not go back until the complaint with warrant is served as themagistrate will argue that subject matter jurisdiction merelybecause a complaint has been filed with the court]

"Court cannot engage in any action which deprives a party before itof his constitutional rights. It has long been recognized that itis a proper function of courts to act as check on improper use ofboth executive and legislative powers.Powell vs McCormack 395 US 486, which quoted Kilborn vs Thompson103 US 168, to whit,

"Especially is it competent and proper for this court to considerwhether proceedings are in conformity with constitution and laws,because, living under a written constitution no branch ordepartment of government is supreme; it is the province and duty ofjudicial and administrative departments in cases regularly broughtbefore them, whether powers of any branch of government have beenexercised in conformity to the constitution; if they have not, totreat their acts as null and void."

Speaking by Mr. Justice Strong in ex parte Virginia,

we said, "A state acts by its legislative, executive or itsjudicial authorities. It can act in no other way. TheConstitutional provision, therefore, must mean that no agency ofthe State or offices or agents, by whom its powers are executed,shall deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protectionof the laws. Whoever, by virtue of public position under the Stategovernment deprives another of life, liberty or property withoutdue process of laws, violates the constitutional inhibitions, as heacts in the name of and for the State, and is clothed with theState's authority his act is that of the State. This must be, orthe constitutional prohibition has no meaning"

"The only 'judicial' activity which can be instituted upon petitionby government is 'enforcement' review, which is summary procedurewith summary judgment, which is more in the nature of appeal by thegovernment, for no new record can be made. No new evidence may betaken for the record can be made. The administrative record is the'exclusive record for review'.

imaginative government counsel for the same is a devious deviceknown as 'post hoc' rationalization which is prohibited as a matterof law. Judgment by the court cannot be substituted for that of theadministrative agency"Abelliara vs District Court of Appeal (1941) 17 Cal2d 280,287-288; 109 P2d 942

[As court informs matter is criminal procedure, which would bejudicial procedure, court would move precipitously to harm ofindividual if it does not dismiss for want of record for review]

ADDENDUM

[Notice to appear is statutory procedure and is without force oflaw when the man/person named on the caption of the notice is notwithin jurisdiction of the DMV unless he is engaged in someactivity regulated by vehicle code and is a man/person subject toendorsement by DMV and further fails because it fails to plead thestatute]

"Pleading a statute is stating the facts which bring the casewithin it; and 'counting on it' in the strict language if pleading,is making express reference to it by apt terms to show the sourceof right relied upon"McCullough vs Clofax County 95 NW 31

"Every ingredient of which an offense is composed must beaccurately and clearly alleged. It is an elementary principle ofpleading that where the definition of an offense, whether it be atcommon law or statue, includes generic terms, it is not sufficientthat the pleading shall charge the offense in same generic terms asin the definition; but it must state the species, it must descendto the particulars. The objective is, first, to furnish the accusedwith such description of the charge against him as will enable himto make his defense and avail himself of his conviction ofacquittal for protection against a further prosecution for the samecause; second, to inform the court of the facts alleged, so that itmay decide whether they are sufficient in law to support aconviction, if one should be had. For the facts are to be stated,not conclusions of law alone. An offense is made of acts andintent; and these must be set forth with particularity of the time,place and circumstances" US vs Cook 17 Wallace 174

[Remember, although the above citation is addressing mala in seviolations, the same standards of law demand the same in statutory

Page 49: Redbook on Travel

law, mala prohibita]

"Offenses created by statute, as well as offenses at common law,must be accurately and clearly described, and, if the offensecannot be described without expanding the allegations beyond merewords of the statute, then it is clear that the allegations must beexpanded to that extent, as it is universally true that no chargeis sufficient which does not accurately and clearly allege all theingredients of which the offense is composed, so as to bring theaccused with in the true intent and meaning of the statute definingthe offense. Every offense consists of certain acts done orcommitted under certain circumstances; and, in the charge of theoffense, it is not sufficient to charge the accused generally withhaving committed the offense, but all circumstances constitutingmust be specially set forth" Arch Cr Pl 15th Ed 43

ADDENDUM

[When ever a ticket/summons/notice to appear is issued by aquasi-peace officer and he checks only 'traffic' box on the captionof the ticket, etc., that is your evidence that the matter beforethe court will be 'civil in nature', thus must be administrativeprocedure]

[When on the appearance on only a ticket etc., the court magistratecalls People of the State etc., Plaintiff, versus 'whomever'defendant, a question now arises; how do the People have aninterest in the mala prohibita?]

[If the People are represented by city/county attorney, as theyspeak only as a prosecutor acting on behalf of the Attorney Generalof the State, then the attorney general can only act to prosecutemala in se crimes, or in civil actions where the state has aninterest and are classified as Real Party in Interest.

The real party in interest must be noticed in all actions when thestate has an interest. So in all papers filed with the prosecutingattorney a copy must be filed with the attorney general, if thestate has an interest, if there is no interest by the state, thenlocal prosecuting attorney can not appear as plaintiff for thePeople, and the People must be excluded, be barred from the action,even assuming it was properly brought before the magistrate byfollowing mandated procedure clearly outlined in the vehicle code]

Page 50: Redbook on Travel

So! let's read how the state acquires a Real Party in Interest inan action before a magistrate:

"For the state to be 'interested' as a party, the state must havea direct and substantial interest of a monetary character"In re Kaindel 104 NE2d 619, 621Keplinger vs Lord 192 NE 549, 550

"State is interested in a suit only when it has a direct andsubstantial interest in the outcome and not where only concern isto see that citizens are protected in their rights"People vs Mitchell 148 NE 242, 243

"Real party interest is one having actual and substantial interestin the subject matter of suit" Carey vs Sisco 64 SW2d 430

"Real party in interest is that party who would be benefitted orinjured by judgment, or party entitled to avails of the suit,'interest' meaning material interest, interest in issue, or to beeffected, was distinguished from mere interest in question involvedas against mere incidental interest"Weber vs City etc., 97 P2d 667, 669

[Now here is an interesting sample of real party not being anattorney speaking for the state. Remember the two parties in anaction begun by Vehicle Code alleged mala prohibita is between theDepartment of Motor Vehicles and its licensees while they areengaged in some business activity which comes within the purview ofthe Vehicle Code]

[In such a situation, then the prosecuting attorney becomes anintervenor]

"Attorney has not interest in matter in litigation or success ofeither of parties or interest against as would entitle attorney tointervene in action or proceeding, and court acted beyond itsjurisdiction in permitting attorney to intervene"Meadow vs Superior Court Los Angeles County (1963)381 P2d 648, 59 Cal2d 610

[Read that again. An intervenor is a third party permitted in theaction as he has some collateral, implicit, or ulterior right,adverse to that of either or both of the others or to defend aresponsibility involved in the controversy. Black's fourth definesIntervenor p 956: An intervenor is a person who voluntarily

Page 51: Redbook on Travel

interposes in an action or other proceeding with leave of thecourt, citing MEADOW is grounds for dismissal of the action asmagistrate acted in excess of its jurisdiction, to your harm]

[As all prosecuting agencies function as arm of the AttorneyGeneral and he only has jurisdiction to act in the name of justicein a mala in se action or where the state has a direct involvementby some contractual nexus with some contractee performing acontract for the state, and the state has no relationship with theDepartment of Motor Vehicles, an independent corporation, privatein nature, and the only party with the power to enforce vehiclecode and its licensees the magistrate cannot, at law, permit aprosecuting attorney to intervene in the matter of anotice/summon/ticket, all traffic in nature.

"The courts will determine who is the 'real party in interest' inan action, by reference, not merely to the name in which the actionis brought, but as to facts as they appear on the record"Eastern etc. vs Grave's etc. 52 SE 837, 838

[So, intervenor without interest defined in supra cites must bebarred from the case when you so inform the magistrate the natureof the facts of the case of record]

[David Mayo of Oregon sent me some fascinating material which isapropos to the issue of a summons as notice is deemed by OregonCourts under their vehicle code]

[A notice is a civil extra-judicial notice, and so without force ofcompetent court with subject matter jurisdiction and bears no sealof the court or is it subscribed by the magistrate or the clerk ofthe court]

[A notice or summons issued without accompanying complaint is nulland void as they fail to inform the recipient of the nature of thecomplaint upon which a man/person named on the mere notice/summonsmust defend.]

[A notice/summons further is not binding on a recipient as therewas no proper service by a person not a party to the notice/summons,as at best the cop will only appear as a witness for someprosecuting agency, is not a party]

[Notice/summons further fails as quasi-officer cannot certify thata copy is a true and correct copy of the original as that may only

Page 52: Redbook on Travel

be done by a clerk of the court, who makes a true and correctcertified copy from the records of the court]

[As notice/summons is not a complaint verified by thequasi-officer, and is functioning as a private person at the timeof the stop, matter being civil in nature, and pursued underadministrative code regulatory/enforcement agency scheme, there isno delegated authority, by the enforcement agency, for thequasi-peace officer to act for or on behalf of the agency, as acomplainant, an if there were, the complainant must file hiscomplain/accusation, first instance with the enforcement agency]

[The above challenge to the incompetency of the merenotice/summons, standing alone, should be part of the Motion toQuash for Improper Service and want of jurisdiction by the officer]

HISTORY OF THE CASE

On June 22, 1989, quasi-defendant, Arthur Frank Sanfor, at the timenot engaged in commercial traffic in the business of transportationof goods or people upon the highways and streets, a licensedprivilege granted by the Department of Motor Vehicles to that classof persons who wish to hire their services and vehicles to the

Page 54: Redbook on Travel

public for gain profit and or compensation;

While traveling as a motorist for personal business andtransportation, south bound on Hermosa Avenue in the city of RanchoCucamonga, California, was stopped at the corner of Lemon Avenueand Hermosa Avenue, by a deputy of the San Bernardino CountySheriff. Quasi-defendant asked the Deputy the probable cause forthe stop at the time of his detainment.

Deputy Sheriff (hereinafter named 'deputy') informed thequasi-defendant (hereinafter named 'accused')that the probable cause was that the accused had failed to stop ata STOP sign posted at the above described intersection.

Accused, at that time, informed the deputy that he had made a stopand denied the accusation and that he was not engaged in thebusiness of transportation and asked the deputy if he had anyevidence that the accused was engaged in the business oftransportation. Deputy did not respond to the questions of theaccused. Accused then told the deputy to look at section 260(a) (b)of Vehicle code and section 10751 of the revenue & Taxation Code asthey showed that the accused was not a person within the specialclass named as a class of persons regulated, supervised whileengaged in business of transportation. Deputy responded that he didnot know about the code sections and refused to read the sectionsas demanded by the accused.

Deputy then asked to see the registration certificate and thedriver license and the evidence of proof of insurance of theaccused.

When the accused did not show proof of insurance to the deputy,deputy told accused that he must have insurance while 'driving' or'operating' a motor vehicle. Accused denied the accusation that hewas in violation of code as he was not 'driving' or 'operating' amotor vehicle.

Deputy then issued a mere certified civil notice to appearcaptioned with name of accused, citing sections 22450 and 16028(a)of Vehicle Code without any charge or allegation that the accusedwas in violation of the code or naming the accused in the body ofthe notice.

Accused then signed the notice "Without admitting guilt, I promise

Page 55: Redbook on Travel

to appear at the time and place below". Accused signed the noticeprotesting that his signature was obtained under threat of thetaking into custody of his body if he would not sign, the signatureof the accused was obtained by coercion and because the signatureof the accused is a plea of 'not guilty' and the notice is aconfession obtained under duress it is not admissible evidence ina prosecution of the accused at a lawful trial

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

I

CONSTITUTION WAS ENACTED WITH THE INTENT TO CREATE A GOVERNMENT OFTHE PEOPLE (sic) CONSTITUTIONS BY NATURE ARE CONTRACTS WHICH AREVOLUNTARILY ENTERED BY THE INDIVIDUAL BY OATH AND SWEARING OFFEALTY IN RETURN FOR THE BENEFITS OF A GOVERNMENT. WITHOUT THE OATHBY THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THAT GOVERNMENTTHEREUNDERCREATED IT IS NOT BINDING ON THE UNSWORN INDIVIDUAL. HE IS OUTSIDETHE JURISDICTION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT FROM WHICH HETAKES NO BENEFIT. THE QUASI-DEFENDANT IN THIS CASE IS SUCH A PERSONWITHOUT OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION.

Chief Justice Story in the court decision in Martin vs Hunter'sLeasee, Vol 1, Wheaton 304 (February 1816)speaking about the Constitution said, "The Constitution is acontract, a covenant. It is a Policy."

Kent in his Commentaries, Edition I, Part I, Law of Nations, whichis binding on the Constitution and thus superior to theConstitution says, "The most useful and practical part of the Lawof Nations is no doubt instituted on Positive Law, founded on usage,consent, and agreement"

God created Mankind.

Mankind created constitutions.

Constitutions create governments.

Governments create Rules, Code, Regulations and Statutes(hereinafter called Enactments) for the execution of thebusiness of the government. Most of which are applied by coercion,by deceit and fraud, to the harm of the subject of the government

Page 57: Redbook on Travel

in the guise of 'for the welfare of the people'.

The presumption of government is that all people are the subjectsof the government and that the government is the Sovereign of thepeople and all people are within the jurisdiction of governmentadministrative agencies. But it was not the intent of the Coloniststo create a SOVEREIGNTY, but by the very terms of the Constitutionto bind and restrict all branches of the government and this ismade abundantly clear in the Preamble to the Bill Of Rights -December 15, 1791.

"The conventions of a number of the States having at the time oftheir adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire in order toprevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers that furtherdeclaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And asextending the ground of public confidence in the government, willbest insure the beneficent ends of its institution"

It is presumptively clear that it was not the intent of theColonists by their Constitutional Charter (a written grant ofspecific rights, a document setting forth the aims and principlesof a united group) to create a SOVEREIGN government conferringjuris on the people, in-toto, jurisdiction over the ColonistsThemselves it is clear that a Sovereign government could createtitles of nobility but the Constitutional Charter forbids it in:Article I., Section 9, Clause 8: "No title of Nobility shall begranted by the United States;......." and Article I., Section 10,Clause 1: "No state shall ......... grant any Title of Nobility"

Thus, it is clear that there is no sovereignty over the individualby the United States or a State of the Union absent the showing ofa jural or contractual relationship by a pledge of allegiance byoath or affirmation whereby the individual submits himself to thejurisdiction of the State or United States as a citizen of theState or of the United States.

CITIZEN: Black's Law Dict. fifth Edition:

Member of a jural society (state) who in associated relationssubmit themselves to rules of conduct.....

In re McIntosh, DC Wash., 12 F Supp. 177

On who under the constitution and laws of the United States, or ofa particular state, is a member of the political community, owing

Page 58: Redbook on Travel

allegiance.............Minor vs Happersett, 21 Wallace 162, 22 L Ed 627

Mere residency or inhabitation does not create a citizen orcitizenship. Jeffcott vs Donovan, CCA Ariz., 135 F2d 213, 214

Mere birth within the United States, without subjection to thejurisdiction thereof, does not create a citizen or citizenship.[birth creates an American]Nyman vs Erickson, 100 Wash. 149; 170 P 546, 547

Thus, government and jural sovereignty if claimed by the State ofCalifornia or this state court where this quasi-defendantrepudiates it, is presumptive and fictitious and the State and thischallenge for its lack of jurisdiction must be proved to exist.

Due process requires that the defendant have such contacts with thestate as to make it reasonable, in the context with the state as tomake it reasonable, in the context of the federal system ofgovernment, to require the defendant to defend against theparticular action which is brought by the state,executive/administrative.Shaffer vs Heitner (1977), 97 S Ct, 53 L Ed2d 683, 697

The recognizable bases for jurisdiction in a case but absent inthis case, when the matter before the court is civil in naturethough proceedings are quasi-criminal:(4) Citizenship; (7) doing business in the state; (11)relationships to the state which make the exercise of judicialjurisdiction reasonable.

Titus vs Superior Court (1972) 23 CalApp3d 792, 799

If the individual cannot be proved to be subject to thejurisdiction of any Constitution or other social or businesscontract by business license or compact, he also cannot be provedto be subject to the jurisdiction of any branch of governmentcreated thereunder.

If it cannot be proved that the individual is directly subject tothe jurisdiction of any state legislative enactment, it also cannotbe proved that he is indirectly subject to such jurisdiction by way

Page 59: Redbook on Travel

of Legislative Enactments.

In the absence of proof that the Individual is subject to thejurisdiction of any Constitution or other Social Contract orCompact, Jurisdiction over Him DOES NOT EXIST.

The general requirement that "....burden is on defendant to showthe non-existence of jurisdictional facts; Russell vs Butler, (Tex.Civ. App.) 47 SW 406; Glichrist vs Oil Land Co., 45 Am, Rep. 555,Bouvier's Vol 2, page 1763 is resolved by Article VI which clearlydefines exactly who is subject to the jurisdiction of theConstitution, and exactly who shall be Contractually Bound by Oathor Affirmation to support which Constitution in consideration foroffices of Public Trust and those benefits of Public Service andPublic Employment.

Article VI; "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, andthe members of the several State Legislatures, and all executiveand judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the severalStates, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support thisConstitution;...."

Thus, the intent of Article VI defines exactly to whom theConstitutional Jurisdiction applies; since the fact that thepeople, in toto, are not included by the requirements of ArticleVI, prima facie; See: INCLUSIO EST EXCLUSIO ALTERIUS; Black's LawDict.; The inclusion of one is the exclusion of another. Thus, thefact that the people are excluded fro the demand.

Thus, no presumption can be made, by the State or any branch ofgovernment, or their officials of the particular branch, that aparticular person is subject to the jurisdiction of theConstitution without a showing of the oath/affirmation to theConstitution since all Constitutions are considered "in parimateria" (are to be constructed together) with all otherConstitutions; all Constitutions are subject to the same provisionof Article VI.

Since no Constitution Charter operates on the people at large, intoto, by virtue of the fact that the people are excluded from therequirements of Article VI, et sqq., and when pursuingCommon-Rights; occupations to earn a livelihood not unlawful; totravel for personal business and pleasure, the transportation ofpersonal property, upon the highways of the state without the needfor a license regulating his mode of travel, or the payment of

Page 60: Redbook on Travel

fees, taxes imposed on the Common-Right, he is not subject toConstitution created jurisdictions.

II

IF THE QUASI-DEFENDANT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY CONSTITUTIONALJURISDICTION, HE IS ALSO NOT SUBJECT TO ANY ENACTMENT MADE BY ANYCONSTITUTIONALLY CREATED LEGISLATURE STATUTE ENACTED ANDUNCONSTITUTIONALLY APPLIED TO HIM; AND, IF THE QUASI-DEFENDANT ISNOT SUBJECT TO ANY CONSTITUTIONAL JURISDICTION PRESUMED BY ANYCONSTITUTIONALLY CREATED BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT; AND, IFQUASI-DEFENDANT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY CONSTITUTIONAL JURISDICTION,HE IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY JURISDICTION PRESUMED BY ANYCONSTITUTIONALLY CREATED JUDICIARY BODY.

In the complete absence of any lawful and verified oath oraffirmation made by a Non participant Individual, in this case, thequasi-defendant, appearing sui juris, to support any Constitution;or in the complete absence of proving a Higher Title to that Nonparticipant Individual, the quasi-defendant, In Personamjurisdiction does not exist; and in the complete absence of provinga lawful and voluntary contract evidenced by a certificate oflicense and the evidence that the quasi-defendant has enjoyed abenefit of a privilege granted by the license, the taking of gain,profit or compensation, and pledging himself and or his personalproperty rights to certain specified performance,subject matter does not exist; and,

In the complete absence of any lawful and formal verified complaintissued timely and by due process of law against the Nonparticipant, the quasi-defendant, wherein a real Injured Partyclaims a damage by harm, no criminal jurisdiction exists; thus,

In the absence of proving the existence of either In Personamand/or Subject Matter Jurisdiction, governmental Jurisdiction overthe Non participant, the quasi-defendant, does not exist. QUODERATDEMONSTRANDUS

Except as otherwise provided by law, all provisions of lawrelating to misdemeanors shall apply to infractions, including butnot limited to powers of peace officers, jurisdiction of courts,periods for commencing action and for bringing a case to trial andburden of proof.

In the case of People vs Gilberg, 21 NYS2d 920, 923, court saidthat a violation of vehicle code which provides that it be atraffic 'infraction' and not a 'misdemeanor', but cont..

PAGE 101

Page 62: Redbook on Travel

cont.... deemed it to be a misdemeanor for jurisdictionalpurposes.

Arguendo, a deputy who has no evidence that a person traveling bymotor vehicle is engaged in the business of transportation has nojurisdiction to accuse and arrest a person as he has no probablecause under the police power of a local municipality or the stateto prosecute private travelers in the municipality or the statewhere his power does not extend into Administrative Law Agencies.

Regulation power is limited to licensed or unlicensed personsengaged in the regulated activity. And the court in People vsVermillion (1916) 30 Cal App 417, 418 said "that there is nooffense of the statute when the statue specifies the receipt of orexpectation of compensation is an element of the offense and thatcondition is not fulfilled."

The court in the case of People vs Nunn (1968) 264 Cal App2d 919,922, said "that when a law enforcement officer observes a person'engaged'in any activity for which a license is required may demandto see the license certificate, with 'no probable cause.'"

Arguendo, if the deputy had probable cause to accuse and arrest theaccused then under 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments must procure asearch warrant to find the evidence of the commission of a crime orthe crime must have been committed in his presence when a publicoffense, which is not indictable but punishable summarily or byforfeiture of a penalty pursuant to Penal Code s836 (1) Wheneverhe has cont....

PAGE 102

cont....reasonable cause to believe that the person to be arrestedhas committed a public offense in his presence.

Thus, under Vehicle Code, when the accused was stopped and citedunder VC s22450, failing to stop for STOP sign, deputy was inexcess of his police authority when citing s16028 (a) of vehiclecode, no proof of insurance, as that violation is not a misdemeanorunder penal code nor failing to obey STOP sign. Upon such an arrestprosecuted by a quasi criminal procedure, accused cannot bycompelled to be a witness against himself, nor to an arrest without issue of and service of a warrant of arrest, be deprived of hisliberty, property or life, nor can he be questioned without beinginformed of the nature and cause of the accusation and under

The Department of California Highway Patrol shall regulate the safeoperation of the following vehicles, subdivisions (a) thru (i) doesnot include passenger vehicles. Vehicle Code specifically forbidslocal municipalities under s21100 (b) Vehicle Code to regulatevehicles outside their licensing jurisdiction and limits them toonly motor vehicles and passenger vehicles for hire forcompensation and licensed by the municipality and driven oroperated within their geographical jurisdiction.

Local municipalities may adopt rules and regulations by ordinanceor resolution regarding the following matters, (b) Licensing andregulating the operation of vehicles for hire and drivers ofpassenger vehicles for hire. All other subdivisions of thissection limit local municipalities to the regulation of 'traffic'on streets and roads within their jurisdiction.

Black's Fifth defines 'traffic' as commerce; the subjects oftransportation on a route, as persons or goods; the passing to andfro of person, animals, vehicles, or vessels, along a route oftransportation, as along a street, canal, etc., traffic regulationsas the prescribed rules of conduct to promote the orderly and safeflow of traffic.

PAGE 105

Page 65: Redbook on Travel

No police power attaches to the regulation of traffic as Departmentof Motor Vehicles enforces code by civil actions. Thus, once thedeputy had made a determination that the accused was not in thebusiness of transportation and was not a business licensee of themunicipality of which deputy was an employee, that accused was notdriving, operating a vehicle for hire or compensation, that he hadno jurisdiction of the accused and as his jurisdiction does notextend to the enforcement of state private business statute andthat Vermillion supra, page 13, applied and the people had not beenharmed by the accused, again, nor jurisdiction to write a citationunder Vehicle Code.

Assuming that a person was 'engaged', Vehicle Code provides for theimposing of fines, penalties and forfeitures for violations ofvehicle code which may only be imposed on a lawful arrest andfiling of formal complaint to give the trial court jurisdiction ofsubject matter and personam. Thus, prosecution must be pursuedaccording to due process of law and such procedure must be insidethe restrictions of the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments of UnitedStates Constitution imposed upon the several states of the Union.

All matters of Vehicle Code prosecutions are unconstitutionallyapplied by the statue itself to the deprival and harm of anaccused. An 'accused' is brought into the court by a mere civilnotice to appear and proceedings are by quasi-criminal action, butnotice does not accuse or allege (cont...)

PAGE 106

(cont...) or charge a violation naming accused in body of notice.The accused is compelled to enter a plea of 'not guilty' to anextra-judicial person under threat of false imprisonment if he willnot identify himself and sign the notice.

Thus, the signed notice is a coerced plea to an extra-judicialperson. After the coerced plea of 'not guilty' under duress,prosecutor is required to file a formal verified complaint namingthe accused, Thereafter proceeding shall be had according toadministrative law..

As all proceeding are pursuant to Vehicle Code, the pertinentsection is:

s40513, subd. (a) "........New paragraph. If, however, defendant

Page 66: Redbook on Travel

.........pleads other than guilty or nolo contendre to the offensecharged, a complaint shall be filed which shall conform toprovisions of Chapter 2, section 948 of Title 5, Part 2 of thePenal Code and which shall be deemed an original complaint, andthereafter proceedings shall be according to law."

According to statutory proceeding a verified complaint and warrantof arrest must first be served upon an accused to bring the accusedinto the subject matter and personam jurisdiction by the trialcourt. So saith the Constitution of the State and the UnitedStates.

In People vs Battle, 50 Cal App3d, Supp 3; the court though did notprove anywhere within its interpretation but attempted to read themind of the legislative body, held that 'infractions' were notcrimes or public offenses and thus persons accused of infractionswere not entitled to the restrictions and demand of the penal codeplaced upon a prosecutor for the people by the Constitution (s).

Thus, with the appellate court ruling that 'infractions' are notcrimes, then they must be civil in nature and thus do not comewithin the purview of the prosecutor and he cannot petition thiscourt to hear when the agency itself has not heard and remedycarried to final appeal. Issue must be pursued administerially fora setting of the record to a final appeal by either party and onlythen my be moved to the judiciary.

Where a government agency or local municipality, (districtattorney, added) believes that an individual is a person within thedemands of a statute, of which it has authority to enforce, orstanding to initiate an action, naming the individual, where thematter is administrative license, there must first be a demand foradministrative enforcement.

The government agency is required to first exhaust alladministrative remedies before it may proceed on any civil action,as is the accused required.

Where the people seek enforcement of administrative licensee, itmust not skirt the administrative agency for enforcement by a 'merehearing officer' without the 'administrative record for review', itmust 'trigger' the administrative agency remedy, or it denies theagency its authority and power to enforce its own rules andregulations and its licensees, to the harm of and denial ofadministrative remedy to the accused.

NOTICE OF MOTIONS

MOTION TO SUPPRESS

NOTICE TO APPEAR.

NOTICE TO DISMISS AS NOTICE APPEAR IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Cal Const. Art. 1, s13

CCP s2065

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

TO THE CLERK OF THE COURT:

This notice to suppress the notice to appear and notice to dismiss,is based upon the following memorandum of points and authoritiesshowing that the notice to appear is an unconstitutional deprivalof the defendant's right not to incriminate himself by compelledplea of 'not guilty' under threat of arrest and custody for therefusal not to sign a notice to appear.

By signature, notice becomes self-incriminating statement andconfession under duress of harm for failure to comply with thedemanded signature.

A plea of not guilty is an admission of the commission of a certainact, which may or may not be, a violation of a certain act, whichmay or may not be a violation by the defendant. Thus, defendant (cont...)

PAGE 112

(cont..) has admitted the act but denies he is guilty of violatingthe law for some reason which will be disputed in court.

A notice to appear must be verified and upon the written promise to

Page 71: Redbook on Travel

appear signed by person named upon the caption of the notice'without admitting guilt I promise to appear' is the same aspleading 'not guilty', and upon the filing of the notice with theclerk of the court named upon the face of the notice, a verifiedcomplaint must be filed with the clerk of the court in order forthe court to have subject matter jurisdiction and a warrant must beserved upon the defendant named in the verified complaint beforethe court will have personam jurisdiction.

Without the above due process of law, the notice to appear is notadmissible as probative evidence of a violation of vehicle code andwhere notice merely cites a section and subdivision of the codewithout alleging or charging the commission of a violation and ashowing of person on the caption of the notice as being engaged inand enjoying the privileges of the vehicle code, the business oftransportation, it is invalid and void upon its face.

Accordingly, this court must suppress the unverified notice toappear as it fails as evidence and dismiss the case incompetentlybefore it.

PAGE 113

Barnes vs Texas, 1956, 380 US 253

An allegation used in pleadings is a statement of what one canprove, a positive assertion of a fact.

Merrill vs Pepperdine, 36 NE 921, 922

and mere allegations, usually denied, are not usually sufficientfoundation for judicial or quasi-judicial determinations

Schneider vs Rochester, 54 NE 721, 722

Allegations held not conclusions of law:

It must be borne in mind that nowhere in the complaint (sic) isthere any allegation specifically attributing any of the alleged(sic) wrongful acts to defendant. It would be unfair to thedefendant to strike said defense. Defense was good and courtproperly refused to strike same.

Van Schaick vs Cronin, 260 NYS 635

Page 72: Redbook on Travel

On the issue of compelled self-incrimination, defendant argues thefollowing authority:

California Constitution, Article 1, s13, clause 5 ****nor becompelled, in any criminal case to be a witness against himself****

State court, in interpreting this clause, may look tointerpretation given in federal cases and in cases in sister statesas an aid to understanding of this clause.

People vs McCormick (1951) 102 CA2d Supp 954

This clause means no person shall be compelled to make anystatement orally, or in writing, anywhere or at any time, which maybe make or used against him in any criminal prosecution, thenpending or which may thereafter be brought against him.

McCormick, supra

This clause relieves witness from giving any evidence which in acriminal prosecution against himself might tend to establish theoffense with which he may be charged.

Ex parte, Cohen (1895) 104 C 524

Thus, if district attorney elects to prosecute the defendant for aviolation of vehicle code, defendant will not testify and theburden lies upon the district attorney to show due process of lawpursuant to 40513(a) and to (cont...)

PAGE 114

(cont..) produce evidence that defendant was engaged in andenjoying the benefits of the business of transportation, at thetime of the stop by a traffic/peace officer.

Any person, whether a party or stranger to the litigation, eitherin a civil action or criminal prosecution, may, if he sees fit,refuse to answer any questions, the answer to which, if true, willrender him punishable for crime, or which, in any degree, may tendto establish a public offense with which he may be charged.

Ex parte, Tahbel (1920) 46 CA 755

It the court magistrate makes a judicial ruling that Public

Page 73: Redbook on Travel

Offensesunder Penal Code s16 include infractions, then when deputy stoppeddefendant and defendant was denied the right to refuse to answerany possibly self incriminating questions but did so under thethreat of encagement, denied defendant protection of constitutionalrights, immunities, and privileges, and statutory immunity thendefendant was harmed.

The words 'criminal case' as used in this section are broader than'criminal prosecution' and, to bring a person within immunity ofthis clause, it is not necessary that his examination as witness behad in criminal prosecution against him, or that a criminalproceeding should have been commenced and be actually pending, butit its if there is a law creating the offense under which thewitness may be prosecuted.

Tahbel, supra

There is no statutory law within Commercial Vehicle Code binding aprivate class of persons who outside the Code travels as a motoristfor personal business of transportation using 'consumer goods' onthe highways of the state, traffic officer and district attorneyfor the people and magistrate treat the notice to appear as thoughprobative cause that (cont..)

PAGE 115

(cont..) person named thereon is a person within the Code & proceedaccordingly, thus party named was denied right of noself-incrimination and will not answer questions, where the/oranswer, if true, would incriminate him and subject him to possiblepunishment and no police power existed under statue itself.

Based upon the above authorities and arguments and objections,court must suppress the unlawfully obtained plea and confession, asa notice to appear when signed, is a confession obtained by threat,coercion and deceit, and not admissible in a court of law withoutthe prosecution showing mens rea and willfulness and corpusdelicti, as a confession, naked or otherwise, will not stand aloneto evidence guilt of the confessor.

The burden of proving all elements of the crime and the ultimateguilt of the defendant is, of course, on the prosecution.

People vs Hudson (1934) 139 CA 543, 544

Page 74: Redbook on Travel

The significance of the corpus delicti concept lies in the rulethat no part of it can be proved by the extra-judicial admissionsor confession of the defendant. Unless the corpus delicti isestablished, such statements cannot be admitted in evidence.

People vs Quarez (1925) 196 C 404, 409

Trial judge instructed jury that 'in first instance' the corpusdelicti for every criminal case must be proven by satisfactoryevidence aside from any statement, confession, or admission ofdefendant People vs McMonigle (1947) 29 C2d 730, 738

DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES IS LICENSING AGENCY FOR VEHICLE CODE,A CORPORATE PART OF STATE OF CALIFORNIA

[Department of Motor Vehicles is a Business Entity of the State ofCalifornia, a Corporate Entity and de facto government as to itslicensees. Corporate Entities are imaginary creations, a state ofmind, an artificial person created by the Legislature of theCalifornia Republic to do that which the Republic cannot do. Thatwhich the Republic cannot do is engage in private business which isoutside the government business of a Republic.

These are called Administrative Agencies and considered by many tobe the Fourth Branch of Government and are business'organizations', as such they function under UCC, (Uniform Commerce Code) and their rule book is the UCC]

A. Administrative Government

Establishment of Administrative Agencies

Constitutional Provisions

The California Constitution expressly creates only threeadministrative agencies; the Reapportionment Commission (see CalConst Art IV s6) the Fish & Game Commission (Cal Const Art IV s20)and the Personal Board (Cal Const Art VII s2).

By implication in various degrees the Constitution also creates, byrecognizing them..............

WHAT ARE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES?

An Administrative Agency is an individual or a group of individualsperforming a governmental function.

Departments, Divisions, Bureaus;

There are between 50 to 60 departments in the state government,although only about 30 are denominated department...........All arecategories of governmental functions. The functions denominated todepartments usually are performed by directors, some of which arecalled commissioners.

Public Administrative Law - I

Licensing, page I - 6

(1) A licensing law describes a class of persons to whom itapplies, by defining an activity in which those persons mightengage. The law applies to all who engage in that activity.

VOL 1 CHAPTER 8 - 3

PAGE 119

ENGAGE: To employ or involve one's self; It imports more than asingle act or transaction or an occasional participation; 'Engage'means to take part in or be employed in......... while'participation' means simply to take or have a part or sharein..........Black's 4th p 622

Page 77: Redbook on Travel

(2) A licensing law also provides that anyone who engages in thesubject activity without a license is guilty of an offense. If theprohibition were unqualified, the law would not be a license law;it would be an ordinary penal law.

[So, now it can be understood that no person is required to have alicense merely because he/she used the common highways and streetsfor personal/private use]

[Penal law, of course, is a general law binding all persons withinthe geographical jurisdiction of the state in which they commit acriminal act; private law is that statutory law, private in nature,which is binding on a limited special class of persons clearlynamed and noticed and defined within the statute]

Vehicle Code s1500

There is in the Business, Transportation, & Housing Agency theDepartment of Motor Vehicles.

TRANSPORTATION is the removal of goods or persons from one place toanother, by carrier. Black's 4th

CARRIER is one undertaking to transport persons or property, or oneemployed in or engaged in the business of carrying goods for otherfor hire. Black's 4th

BUSINESS: The term 'business has no definite or legal meaning. Theterm in vehicle code would be restricted to a business affectedwith public interest, devoted to public use.

"Business wherein person engaged expressly or impliedly holdhimself out to engage in business of supplying his product orservice to public as a class or limited portion of the public"

Page 78: Redbook on Travel

Masgai vs Public Service Comm Penn, 136 P2d 426, 434

[So, if you are not engaged in any of the above or employed in anyof the above, and a Notice to Appear/traffic ticket does notallege/charge that you are or were at the time of the issue of theNotice so engaged/employed, why are you being asked to appear in a'traffic court' before a magistrate for the Department of MotorVehicles? Why are you asked to show evidence of a Driver's Licenseor registration number and license tax paid by a 'tab' on thelicense plate?]

[Obviously, the Department of Motor Vehicles which has theauthority to enforce the Vehicle Code, which are the rules andregulations required to be obeyed by licensees of the DMV, whileengaged/employed in some business or transportation activity but,no jurisdiction over persons not engaged/employed within thoseactivities]

Administrative Powers

"Administrative powers partake of all three traditionalgovernmental powers: legislative, executive, and judicial. In everycase, administrative powers are delegated instead of residual,which is the principal basis for distinguishing administrativepowers from the powers of the Legislature,the courts and the executive officer of the state government.Hence, the rule that an administrative agency 'must act within thepowers conferred upon it by law and may not validly act in excessof such powers"

[If you are a licensee and traffic tickets were issued at a timewhen enjoying the privilege of the license and now the tribunal isinforming you that it is going to limit the use of the benefit, orsuspend/condition the use of the privilege, or revoke, then becausea constitutional issue is raised by that threat, or because any ofthe above were committed, then a notice must issue for a hearingand hearing held before the license effected]

[A licensee cannot first rush to the judicial branch of government(remember you were not before a judicial officer when you appearedin the municipal court even though you may have been informed thatthe matter was a criminal proceeding)]

Government Code s11503

A hearing to determine whether a right, authority, license orprivilege should be revoked, suspended, limited, or conditioned,shall be initiated by filing an accusation. The accusation shall bea written statement of charges which shall set forth in ordinaryand concise language the acts or omissions which the respondent

[So, when a magistrate informs that he is affecting the use of alicense he is acting outside the scope of magistrate and denies dueprocess of and equal protection of the law under the 14thAmendment. If he commands that the license be immediatelysurrendered to the court and informs that you may not use/drive anypassenger/truck/conveyance vehicle then he has taken form you: (1)right to an administrative hearing by the agency, (2) taken fromyou a vested right, (3) a fundamental right, without due process ofthe statutory law or judicial trial pursuant to a true, substantivecommission of a crime, mala in se]

CITIZEN'S LAW REVIEW

Publisher - Public Interest Law School

Vol 1 Issue 5 - 1992

In law, one must always inform opposing party/person/man that whathe is about to do or has done will harm you, and thus given theopportunity to do that which is right and lawful. If after beingwarned, that party/person/man fails to protect you from his harmfulact, grounds for lawful suit at law, which could be a civil rightsdeprival (42 USC 1983) or action naming him/her as privateindividual. Either action would be based on his or her actingoutside the scope and duty of office.

Vehicle Code Article 2 Release Upon Promise to Appear

Notice to Appear s40500 (d) para 3

"If , after an arrested person has signed and received a copy of anotice to appear, the arresting officer or other officer of the

Page 88: Redbook on Travel

issuing agency, determines that, in the intrest of justice, thecitation of notice should be dismissed, the arresting agency mayrecommend, in writing, to the magistrate or judge that the case bedismissed. The recommendation shall cite the reasons for therecommendation and be filed with the court."

"If the magistrate or judge makes a finding that there are groundsfor the dismissal, the finding shall be entered on the record andthe infraction or misdemeanor dismissed."

If the arresting officer or other officer issuing agency, and heremy guess could be that it was an employee of the Department ofMotor Vehicles, immediately after issue of "notice/citation",obtain full name and address of the issuing agency individual,notice him/them that, in the interest of justice', thenotice/citation be dismissed as pursuant to s40500 (d).

Let's define two words used within the section: Black's 4th defines'citation, as a, "writ issued out of a court of competentjurisdiction, commanding a person therein named to appear on a daynamed, or show cause why he should not." So, obviously the noticeto appear is not a lawful court citation and so your show of causewhy you should not would be the want of competent jurisdiction;now, let's look at the Notice 'To' Appear among the manydefinitions of 'To' in Webster's are "when". So, obviously theNotice given by the arresting officer is not a lawful order of acourt, but an invitation as to 'when' you should appear, by thedate on the notice, which is an exta-judicial civil notice, withoutforce of law by a competent court.

So, because you were not, at the time of a 'stop', a man within thejurisdiction of a competent court, and no mala in se crime had/wascommitted, the argument becomes "how did the peace officer have thepower of arrest, without a warrant, when you were not 'using' thecommon public highway for a purpose for which you would becompensated?" A man using the highway for personal travel,business, pleasure assumes civil liability to some fellow citizenwhen he fails to use reasonable care and concern for others usingthe highways and thereby harms some other person or person'sproperty.

Peace officer, absent the mala in se crime had no police power toarrest and absent the mala prohibita violation when you were notusing the highway for profit, no police power exists under VehicleCode enforced under administrative law, and, so, the only other

Page 89: Redbook on Travel

'issuing agency' must be the DMV, as employees of that agency havethe power to command you to appear when they (cont)

PAGE 133

(cont) file an 'accusation and set a hearing date and you are aman/person within their jurisdiction and they have delegated somemunicipal court magistrate to hear or a justice of a Justice Court.

Remember, an arrest without a warrant, lays the burden on thearresting man/person to prove the probable cause for the arrest;remember, an arrest pursuant to vehicle code is a civil arrest, butno police power attaches to vehicle code; the power for civilarrest lies within a court sitting civilly only for a contempt ofcourt when a lawful order of the court is disobeyed..

Without the issue of a 'citation' by a competent court and withouta contempt of lawful order, and without the probable cause anyarrest is a violation/deprival of your Bill of Rights, constitutesa false arrest and false imprisonment and the subject of a 1983action or habeas corpus.

So, in writing, ask the arresting officer that he request the courtto dismiss in the interest of justice on the grounds supra.

THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN COMMERCE CANNOT BE REGULATED BY LICENSINGLAW AS TO THE INDIVIDUAL EARNING A LIVELIHOOD

[Administrative Agencies are considered to be the Fourth Branch ofGovernment. They were created by the Republic of California to dothat which the Republic cannot do. There is no constitutionalauthority for the Republic to stop commerce by the individual bylicensing laws, demand for registration of business equipment forpurposes of taxation.

The legislature of the Republic created the Corporate State ofCalifornia at the request of certain special classes of the peoplewho petitioned; We, the People, our elected public officials, to dofor them what the constitution would not permit directly, createindividuals as artificial persons by licensing law which givelimited liability to that class who in turn submit to codification

Page 90: Redbook on Travel

of commerce and taxes which otherwise could not be imposed on theindividual not licensed.

This was accomplished by creating private agencies manned byindividuals, not officials of the Republic, known as AdministrativeAgencies who, though without police power to enforce theirregulations as they are civil organizations, would have to power toenforce its regulations on its licensees under Administrative Lawprocedures when the licensee voluntarily submits to special civilproceedings by summary process.

By this process, carried out by deceit, misdirection,misrepresentation and coercion by threat of arrest, a contin-(cont)

(cont)-uing process has evolved whereby the private individualusing the common public highways for personal business in pursuitof earning a livelihood and the right to contract in commercebetween private parties, they have been conditioned to believe theto engage in commerce is a 'privilege' for which they must applyand by which they can be taxed by license fees, registration fees,and 'use' tax on private property not dedicated to the benefit ofthe public]

"The Constitution found it (commerce) and existing right" saidChief Justice Marshall in 1824 (Gibbons vs Ogden 9 Wheaton 1, 211)"and gave to Congress the power to regulate it" The citizen'srights in commerce do not come from the Constitution (nor from thestate). They existed before the Constitution was written, and asChief Justice Marshall pointed out, the Constitution recognizesthat fact. If the right of man to trade is above the Constitution,and the Constitution empowers the Congress (a legislative body)only to 'regulate commerce', by no line of sound reasoning can theconclusion be reached that Congress can 'stop' commerce.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT

HISTORY OF THE CASE

On June 22, 1989, defendant while traveling as a motorist upon thestreets and highways of the state in his private passenger vehicle,which had not been hired by any person by which defendantanticipated compensation; defendant was stopped by a deputy of theSan Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, and deputy withoutprobable cause asked to see defendant's certificate of registrationand chauffeur's license (referred in vehicle code as a driver'slicense).

Defendant informed the deputy that he was not engaged in thebusiness of transportation, a business privilege license for theoccupation of transportation offered to the public.

Contrary to the intent of Vehicle Code 1959, deputy then issued a

Page 98: Redbook on Travel

notice to appear citing section 16028 (a) VC and said act was undercolor of statutory law which did not apply to the defendant andunder color of authority of county government entity, sheriff'sdepartment, for purposes of an inquiry or demand of the defendant.

DEPUTY OF THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WAS LEADING THEDEFENDANTTO BELIEVE THE HE HAD THE AUTHORITY TO REMAND THE DEFENDANT TOAPPEAR BEFORE A MUNICIPAL COURT FOR AN INQUIRY BY THE COURT ANDFURTHER IN ERROR AS HE FAILED TO FILE A VERIFIED COMPLAINT WITH THEDISTRICT ATTORNEY OF COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO, ALL TO THE HARM OFTHE DEFENDANT AND DEPRIVAL OF DUE PROCESS OF LAW

PAGE 145

Penal C. s146 b:

Every person who, with intent to lead another to believe that arequest or demand for information is being made by the state, acounty, or city, or other governmental entity, when such is not thecase, sends to such other person a written or printed form or othercommunication which reasonably appears to be such a request ordemand by such governmental entity, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

A notice to appear, issued under color of law by the Sheriff issuch a demand. It misleads the civilly cited person to believe thathe must appear before a court with jurisdiction for an arraignmentand testify and give information or enter a plea under criminalprosecution.

"Preliminary proceedings (notice to appear) do not invokejurisdiction of an inferior court"

Wells vs Justice Court, 5 Cal Rptr 204

"Preliminary proceedings are only intended as a basis for the issueof warrant"

71 CA 709

Notice, if used as a complaint under criminal procedure, must befiled with prosecuting attorney, not with court clerk to have legaleffect. As a complaint it must be supported by such evidence as

Page 99: Redbook on Travel

shows an offense has been committed and tenders it certain orprobable that it was committed by the person named or described inthe complaint"

Commonwealth vs Pick, 11 Pick 436

Because a police officer has no prosecutorial powers, a noticeconfers no jurisdiction to a trial court.

ARG., if court rules that a certified notice is a proper complaint,it errs; Notice to appear fails as complaint because officer wasnot duly sworn at time of issue of certified notice and notverified by proper prosecuting attorney. Therefore, the complaintis null and void, has not legal binding in this court or in thiscase.

Federal, 34 US 969

[From the form of the notice (ticket) it is clear that it is notintended to fulfill the function of an information .

It is certainly not an 'allegation made to a magistrate' that aperson has been guilty of some designated crime, rather it is anotice to appear in a given court, at which time he will be chargedwith a specific violation.

A NOTICE TO APPEAR SIGNED UNDER DURESS AND COERCION BY THREAT OFENCAGEMENT IS COMPELLED SELF INCRIMINATION.

DEFENDANT SIGNED THE NOTICE UNDER THREAT OF INCARCERATION. THUS,IT IS A COMPELLED SELF INCRIMINATION BY ONE WHO HAS THEREBY MADE ASTATEMENT IN WRITING AND IT WILL BE USED IN A CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONOR CIVIL ACTION WHICH MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST HIM

If this court rules that mere citations constitute and have affectof allegations or charge of crime and are complaints, then thiscourt rules in error.

CALIFORNIA MOTOR VEHICLE LEGISLATION AS AMENDED 1961 TO THE DATE OF1991 IS VAGUE AND AMBIGUOUS

[Because of the manner in which it is written, a person withcompetent skill and knowledge finds an uncertainty of meaning ofexpressions used in the code which possess a doubleness of meaning;is patently ambiguous]

LATENT: "that is latent where the language employed is clear andintelligible and suggests but a single meaning, but some extrinsicfact or extraneous evidence creates a necessity for interpretationor a choice among two or more possible meanings,........"Black's4th p 105

[Because of its ambiguity, police officers and prosecutors for thePeople and magistrates of municipal tribunal sitting as hearingofficers in a ministerial capacity, permit it to be applied to allpersons who travel on the common highways for personal and privatebusiness, by automobile and or trucks, motor homes, whereby, aremisled, allowed to believe, that the vehicle code is enforceableagainst them by the Department of Motor Vehicles. The use of a mereadministrative civil notice to appear, and extra-judicialinstrument, is permissively used to bring any and all such persons

Page 104: Redbook on Travel

into a tribunal as though the Statute, Vehicle Code, operated as alaw of general nature and uniform in operation, when in fact it isprivate law which does not operate generally. Vehicle code operatesas general law only to the whole class of persons embraced in aclass found as licensees while engaged in some activity regulatedby Vehicle Code.]

VOL 1 CHAPTER 10 - 2

PAGE 152

"The phrase 'general law' does not necessarily mean a law whichoperates upon all persons and things, since the word 'general'comes from 'genus', and relates to a whole 'genus', or kind, or, inother words, to a whole class or order, hence a law which effectsa class of persons, or things less than all, may be a general law."

Brooks vs Hyde (1869) Cal 366

[The ambiguity of Vehicle Code fails to provide a reasonable degreeof certainty as to the class of persons, by misdirection,doubleness of meaning, to clearly, implicitly, define the class,and thereby misleads the traveler on the common highways to believethat they are of the general class regulated by Vehicle Code]

"No one may be required at peril of life, liberty, or property tospeculate as to the meaning of statutes. All are entitled to beinformed as to what the State commands or forbids........'a statutewhich either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms sovague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at itsmeaning and differ as to its application, violates the firstessential of due process of the law"Lanzetta vs New Jersey, 306 US 451, 453, 83 L ed 888;Connally vs General Construction 269 US 385, 391; 70 L Ed 322

"Such also is the law of the State of California"People vs McCaughan, 49 Cal2d 409, 414

[The uncertainty of the legislative intent of Vehicle (cont)

PAGE 153

(cont) Code 1959, and its repealed and re-enactments as of 1991,

Page 105: Redbook on Travel

is prominent on the face of the statute by its use of certain wordsand proper nouns which fail to be clearly definitive and misleadthe person of common intelligence to believe that the code isbinding on all who travel and use an automobile or truck forpersonal business and private business, pleasure, family usage]

"The required meaning, certainty and lack of ambiguity, may appearon the face of the questioned statute or from any demonstrablyestablished technical or common law meaning of the language inquestion"McCaughan, supra; Lorenson vs Sup Ct 35 Cal2d 49, 60

[This is not evidenced in vehicle code as certain nouns are playedwith by 'anglosizing' or using certain descriptive words withoutdefining same in Division 1. WORDS AND PHRASES DEFINED p 5 ofVehicle Code]

"Varied phraseology in statute should not lead to subtledistinctions in meaning when essential purposes is the same andgrammar should yield to legal, administrative intent"People vs Nowacki 40 NYS2d 131

[Ambiguity and doubleness of meaning lies within Vehicle Code inthe use of 'Driver' when formerly 'chauffeur' was used and driverdid not exist in the code]Driver,. VC s305

A 'driver' is a person who drives or is in physical control of avehicle.

VC. s310 then misleads by its ambiguity, uncertainty, (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 10 - 4

PAGE 154

(cont) and doubleness of meaning for a person of reasonableintelligence having read s305, when reading s310 then believes thatas a person driving a vehicle is that person required to possess aDriver's License.

VC s310

DRIVER'S LICENSE

Page 106: Redbook on Travel

"Driver's License is a valid license to drive the type of motorvehicle.......for which a person is licensed under thiscode......."

[Vagueness reigns and a reasonably intelligent person because hebelieves, or has been told to believe, that the Vehicle Code is a'general law' applicable to any person using an automobile or truckwhen she/he reads VC 12500(a), is further led to believe thatshe/he is that NO PERSON within that section of the code]

UNLAWFUL TO DRIVE UNLESS LICENSED

VC s12500(a)" NO PERSON shall drive a motor vehicle upon a highway,unless the person then holds a driver's license issued under thiscode.

(b) NO PERSON shall drive a motor vehicle............

(c) NO PERSON shall drive a motor vehicle."

Two tests which have been applied in determining vagueness arefound in:

Winters vs New York, 333 US 507, 524-525:

"(1) the 'men of common intelligence test; (A) A statute whicheither forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vaguethat men of common intelligence (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 1 - 5

PAGE 155

(cont) must guess at its meaning and differ as to its application,violates the first essential of due process of law."

(2) The 'subject matter of the legislation' test:

"Indefiniteness is not a quantitative concept.....It is itself anindefinite concept.....That which may appear to be too vague andeven meaningless as to one subject matter may be definite asanother subject matter of legislation permits; if the legislativepower to deal with the subject is not to be altogether denied"

DRIVER. Black's 4th p 585

Page 107: Redbook on Travel

"One employed in 'conducting' or 'operating' a motorvehicle....'conduct' v. to manage; direct; lead; have direction;carry on; regulate; 'do business'. Black's 4th p 367

[Prior to re-enactment of Vehicle Code 1961, there was no usage ofthe word 'driver', only 'chauffeur']

VC s250. "Chauffeur is a person who is employed by another for theprincipal purpose of driving a motor vehicle on the highways andreceives compensation therefor."

Statute 1961, Chap 1615, p 3452, July 12, 1961 effective September15, 1961, amended subds (a) (b) (c) s12500 to read Driver's Licenserequired and deleted subd (d) which read: "It is a misdemeanor forany person to drive a motor vehicle upon a highway as a 'chauffeur'unless he then holds a chauffeur's license duly issued under thiscode....."

[The legislative intent of this code was not changed bysubstituting descriptive title from 'chauffeur' to 'driver' (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 10 - 6

PAGE 156

(cont) as the role remained the same, employment, compensation.Only that person being compensated is code required]

[On the issue of type of vehicle required to be registered adoubleness exists between VC s260 (a) (b) (c), and VC s4000 (a),and Uniform Commercial Code which is the common law of the land asto commercial activities]

[Vehicle code fails to inform by its vagueness, uncertainty,indefiniteness, and doubleness, that the only intent of VehicleCode is to regulate the activity of commerce on the intra-statecommon highways of the state and by deceit, by failure to inform,where the need lies to inform, it allows the individual privatedriver/operator of private automobiles and trucks and motor homesthat she/he is a person required to register said vehicles. Aperson of common intelligence upon the reading of NO PERSON, is ledto believe that he must register and license and pay tax upon anon-commercially used private vehicle and thereby tricked intoasking for any privileges which attach to that registration whichare of no benefit to the private user of private vehicles]

Page 108: Redbook on Travel

REGISTRATION REQUIRED

VC 4000(a) "NO PERSON shall drive, move, or leave standing upon ahighway, or in an off-street public parking facility, any motorvehicle,......., unless it is registered and the appropriate feeshave been paid under this code....."

[However, no person is required to register any vehicle or consumergoods when she/he derives no benefit thereby]

REGISTRATION: "Registrant is one who register anything (cont)

"Registration catalogues all persons with respect to an activity,or all things that fall within a certain classification"

Galvan vs Sup Ct 70 Cal2d 851

[A conflict lies within Vehicle Code between VC s260 and VCs4000(a) (1) and Uniform Commercial Code s9-109, and a trafficofficer or peace officer acting outside his scope and duty of peaceofficer must first make a determination as to whether a stoppedvehicle is of the type required to be registered and use tax iscurrently required and paid before acting to the harm of theindividual not required]

See, VC s4000(a) (1) supra page 6

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE

(b) Passenger vehicles which are not used for the transportation ofpersons for hire, compensation, or profit and house cars are notcommercial vehicles.

Page 109: Redbook on Travel

(c) Any van pool vehicle is not a commercial vehicle."

[First showing of conflict in the law and how it is improperlyapplied as a 'general law' to a class not within the class of the'general law' Statute Vehicle Code]

VOL 1 CHAPTER 10 - 8

PAGE 158

[Uniform Commercial Code makes a clear determination of the type ofproperty which must be registered and taxed and the type ofproperty which cannot be required to be registered and taxed by thedefining of the property in question as either a 'businessequipment vehicle' or 'consumer goods'. Vehicle Code being acommercial code is bound by the Uniform Commercial Code]

"A state agency cannot require registration and payment of'business use tax' on 'consumer goods'. Automobile purchased forpersonal and family use was 'consumer goods' "

In re Rave 7 USS Rep Serv 258 (DC Conn Ref 1969)

Bank of Boston vs Jones 4 UCC Rep Serv 1021, 236 A2d 484

"Automobile owned by a person not in business is 'consumer goods'.Use of the vehicle by its owner of purposes of traveling to andfrom his employment is a personal, as opposed to business use, asthat term is used in Ucc s9-109. 1,. 14, the vehicle will beclassified as 'consumer goods' rather than equipment. Thephraseology of s109.(2), defining equipment as goods used or boughtfor use primarily in business seems to contemplate a distinctionbetween collateral automobile 'in business'and the mere use of thecollateral automobile for some commercial, economic, or incomeproducing purpose by one not engaged 'in business' "

In re Barnes 11 UCC Rep Serv 679 (Me Ref 1972)

[Thus, under UCC s9-109. 14, a vehicle not used for commercialactivities is 'consumer goods', and though a sales (cont)

(cont) tax may be charged and collected at the time of its sale, itis not a type of vehicle required to be registered and 'use tax'paid of which the tab is the evidence of receipt of the tax]

[Remembering that statute Vehicle Code remains the same in intent,even though repealed and re-enacted, the code has alwaysspecifically exempted and operator, functioning in a privaterelationship, from the need to register vehicles of any type or topay a 'use tax' since the original Motor Vehicle Act of 1904]

"Use tax does not fall upon owner because he is owner, regardlessof the use or disposition he may make of the property, but isimposed on certain privileges of ownership. The use tax frames anexcise tax upon the privilege of using the property within thestate in a certain manner, and is a tax upon the enjoyment of thatwhich is purchased"

[OPERATOR used within Vehicle Code is not defined in Division 1,WORDS AND PHRASES DEFINED, p 5 and Black's 4th does not define thenoun 'operator' but, a clear definition of 'operator' os found incase law and statutory vehicle codes antecedent to 1991]

"To operate any motor vehicle proscribes illegal operation of'transportation business' rather than physical operation of thevehicle itself. Statute imposing a penalty for operation of motor

Kramer vs Haley 439 P2d, 1968, 573, 574

Thus; VC s10: Continuation of Existing law

2. The provisions of this code, insofar as they are substantiallythe same as existing provisions relating to the same subjectmatter, shall be construed as restatements and, continuationsthereof and not as new enactments.

Statutes, 1923, page 706

(1) The obvious and only purpose of the act of the legislatureimposing a fee for the transportation of persons or property forhire and compensation upon the public streets, roads, highways, inthe state by motor vehicles was to provide a revenue and that suchrevenue was to be obtained by the imposition of a license orprivilege tax on the business of operating a motor vehicle forhire.

(2)The Act of 1923, a Revenue Measure: the act of the (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 10 - 11

PAGE 161

(cont) legislature, page 706, is not a police measure in any sense,it provides for a license tax for revenue purposes only.

(4) Operators Transporting Own Property: The fact that those whooperate motor vehicles for the transportation of person andproperty for hire enjoy a different or more extensive use of thepublic highways for the transportation of their own than those whouse said public highways for the transportation of their wonproperty constitutes a natural distinction and full justificationfor the classification of the latter operators among those exemptedfrom the license tax provided by the act.

[So, obviously. of an individual uses his automobile or truck fortransportation of family or his property, he cannot be brought intothat special class of persons for not having registered andlicensed and paid a use tax, by any traffic officer/peace officer

of the state or local governmental corporate municipality, nopolice power attaches to the statute and so none can be delegatedto another governmental agency, either state, county, city policeagency]

Statutes, 1937, Vehicle Code, Chapter 27

(a) The term 'operator' shall include all persons engaging in thetransportation of persons or property for hire or compensation byor upon motor vehicles upon any highway in this State, eitherdirectly or indirectly, but shall not mean or include thefollowing:

(1) Any person transporting his own property in his vehicle.

VOL 1 CHAPTER 10 - 12

Statutes, 1941, s9701, page 592

Every operator of a motor vehicle within the State who transportsor desire to transport for compensation or hire persons or propertyupon any highway within this State, shall apply to the board for alicense to operate motor vehicles for the transportation of personsor property for hire/compensation.

OPERATOR under this statute does not include s 9603(a); any persontransporting his own property in a motor vehicle owned and operatedby him unless he makes a specific charge for the transportation.

[Read KRAMER, supra, page 10]

"The elementary doctrine that the constitutionality of alegislative act is open to attack only by persons whose rights areaffected thereby, applies to statute relating to administrativeagencies, the validity of which may not be called into question inthe absence of a showing of substantial harm, actual or impending,to a legally protected interest directly resulting from theenforcement of the statute" Board of Trade vs Olson, 262 US 1;29 ALR2d 1051

"Taxing and licensing statutes are not enacted as 'positive law'which consists of those statutes enacted by legislative bodies inpursuance to authority or mandate granted in United States or Californiaconstitutions.

THE TRUE NATURE OF LICENSES, MALEFACTIONS OR BENEFACTIONS?

[At common law the private individual has the right and theConstitutions protect it, to travel for personal business, personalpleasure, personal transportation, family business, upon the publichighways inter-state, afoot, on horseback, by driving a team ofhorses, by driving a wheeled vehicle, a motor propelled conveyance,or whatever is the current mode of the day which suits theindividual's purpose or choice. While doing such the individualcannot be taxed/licensed/regulated without his voluntary assent]

[That right exists and cannot be denied or excised by a legislativeact which is in nature a fiat when the public has no interest, orno interest by a governmental administrative agency, exists by somerelationship between the individual and the Corporate State of

Page 114: Redbook on Travel

California by and through the administrative agency functioning forthe Corporate State]

[To use a motor propelled automobile/truck for private purposescannot be declared a privilege of those who would exercise theright when the individual does not knowingly, voluntarily, ask thatthe right be converted to a privilege because of some benefitswhich will accrue by the granting of the public license]

[Licenses are contracts. Are of two types, private, and public.Private contracts are between two or more private individualswherein the parties to the contract obtain mutualbenefits/privileges and mutual power to enforce the contract whenthere is a failure to perform the contract]

VOL 1 CHAPTER 11- 2

PAGE 165

[Public contracts/licenses permit an individual, who by becoming anartificial person by the license with the particular agency for theCorporate State, may practice or perform or engage in someprofession or business which would otherwise be unlawful, orlicenses may be used to regulate a common law right]

"The courts cannot be unaware that the licensing power, resting onthe proposition that all activities of a certain kind in a certainendeavor are enjoined until authorized, necessarily places upon theindividual the burden of affirmatively proving that he proposes todo should be permitted. In a sense, therefore, licensing by itsvery nature is repugnant to the philosophy behind the principlethat the individual is innocent until the State proves him guilty"

37 Georgia Law Journal 73, 74 (1948)

[Here the intent is to show how, to considerable extent, themisapplication of the true character of a license by the Departmentof Motor Vehicles under it Vehicle Code, by deceit and misdirectionand misinformation and the failure to inform as to the true intentof private statutory code, has led the individual motorist tobelieve he must have the licensed relationship with the CorporateState]

[By the individual ceding the right for a privilege, thatindividual forfeits/loses the constitutional protection of the

[Denial of mobility because one has to have a Driver's License orfails to pay a tax for the privilege is at issue]

Justice Washington in Corfield vs Coryll 4 Wash CC 380, FederalCase No 3230, (1823) enumerated the privileges and immunities ofCitizens of the states (US Const Art IV, s2) as including 'theright of a citizen of one state to pass through, or reside in anyother state.'

In Crandall vs Nevada 73 US (6 Wallace) 35 (1886) it struck downthe statute (requiring the payment of taxes when traveling into orout of the state of Nevada by travelers) on the ground that thestatute violated the Constitution of the United States as the stateaction violated a personal privilege impliedly granted by theConstitution.

[In that ruling the court did not cite Art IV s2, but it isnoteworthy that the decision was handed down before theratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, yet without theFourteenth Amendment the state action was forbidden from itsrestriction of freedom/mobility/locomotion to move from one placeto another]

Page 117: Redbook on Travel

[The enactment by the legislature of its Statute 1959 Vehicle Codewhereby a person who travels in commerce for purposes oftrafficking and using the public highways must be licenses isfaulty as it assumes the right to engage in commerce by theindividual as a means of earning a livelihood may be regulated andtaxed as a privilege]

[As the individual cannot be required to have a license to earn alivelihood which is a traditional common law right, it cannotrequire the private individual not using the highways for theearning of a livelihood to be licensed and taxed for enjoying theright by naming it a 'privilege'.]

[Obviously, this is a misapplication of the concept of licensingwhere it is used to regulate the individual's common law right.There is no grant of a 'privilege/benefaction'of any kind in apublic license. The Department of Motor Vehicles by its abuse ofthe statute by causing the individual to believe a Driver's Licenseis a privilege and the only means by which the individual may usethe common public highways and so the general public in itsignorance of the statutory law and its privileged right believesthat they must apply for and have a 'public license' while enjoyingits privileged right]

[The individual must be made aware of the principles of the 'publiclicense/malefactions' are not the principles of a 'privatelicense/benefaction']"A private license is technically an authority given to do someact, or series of acts, on the land of another with (cont)

Cook vs Stearn 11 Mass 533, 537 (1814)

[If a private license is between private persons then a publiclicense is one granted by some division/agency/department of theCorporate State to an individual thus, converting that individualto a license/contractual relationship with the Corporate State, abusiness entity]

Page 118: Redbook on Travel

[A question arises in the mind of the author as to just how, underthe National Constitution, was it possible for the NationalGovernment to create a Corporate Entity known as the FederalGovernment. My conjecture is that the Congress withoutconstitutional authority simply created such a Corporation. So,such a Corporation is a de facto corporation and it in turn createsde facto corporations which do business for the Federal CorporateGovernment. Black's 4th states that de facto is an office,position, or "status existing under a mere claim or color ofright" Here is an interesting definition of De Facto Governmentwhich if the above is true then the Federal Government and theState of California are De Facto Governments and exist because noone challenges their colorable authority. "One that maintainsitself by a display of force against the will of the rightful legalgovernment and is successful, at least temporarily, in overturningthe institutions of the rightful legal government by setting up itsown in lieu thereof"]

VOL 1 CHAPTER 11 - 7

PAGE 170

[If the above interpretation, by the author is true, then theDepartment of Motor Vehicles is a de facto department within the defacto Business, Transportation & Housing Agency created by the DeFacto State of California]

[The claim of the Department of Motor Vehicles that a motorist mustbe licensed is not the granting of a privilege as the motorist andindividual engaged in earning a livelihood already has theprivileged right to use the common public highways without the needfor a license. Thus, it is actually a restraint upon activitiesrecognized as privileged right]

"A license law assumes an illegality of an action, and denouncesand penalizes those who pursue it without protecting themselvesfrom prosecution by the procuring of the unneeded license"

37 Georgia Law Journal 73, 74

[The conflict here lies in 'form' as against 'substance' as inform, a license is a permission of action that would otherwise beunlawful; in substance, a license is a limitation of an actionwhich would otherwise be lawful. So, the purpose of any license,private or public is to grant a 'gift'. The gift restricts the

Page 119: Redbook on Travel

activity of those without the license]

[So, the true purpose, when private, is to control and regulate themanner in which the otherwise unlawful act is conducted, thuscontrolling the interest of the private person. In the case of thepublic license controlling the public's interest & right (If thereis a public interest)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 11 - 8

PAGE 170

[So, the statute and its code administered by the Department ofMotor Vehicles, by the Driver's License is licensing a 'right' andnaming it a 'privilege', but not as a 'privilege' under theConstitution's rights/privileges/immunities]

[Thus, does the Department of Motor Vehicles by deceit and failureto inform where the need exists to inform as to the true nature ofthe Vehicle Code, seemingly take a right and convert it, in themind of the individual motorist, to a privilege]

The Code of Civil Procedure provides that all statutes are publicor private and defines private statute as one that concerns onlydesignated individuals and affects only their private rights. Allother statutes, including those creating or affecting corporations,are public statutes (CCP s1898) A valid private act is asconclusive within its particular scope as is a public statute (Peo

traditional recognized common law right to pursue as a livelihoodare subject to the police power of the State]Munn vs Illinois, 94 US 113 (1876)

FACTS: Several grain warehousemen in Chicago were sued by the stateof Illinois for failing to comply with the state law establishingmaximum rates for the storage of grain. The warehousemen claimedthat this law was repugnant to the part of the 14th amendment whichordains that no state shall deprive 'any person of life, liberty orproperty without due process of law, nor deny any person within itsjurisdiction the equal protection of the laws'.

ISSUE: Can a state constitutionally regulate the use, or even thefee for the use, of private property in that state?

DECISION: Yes.

REASONS: Waite, C.j. Two hundred years before this case, Lord ChiefJustice Hale stated in his treatise, De Protibus Maris, 1 Harg. L.Tr., 78, that when private property is affected with a publicinterest it ceases to be purely private. Property becomes clothedwith a public interest when used in a way to make it of publicconsequence and affect the community at large. When one devotes hisproperty to such a use, he must submit to be controlled by thepublic for the common good. Of course, he may withdraw the use, butso long as he maintains it, he must submit to public control forthe public good. The vast storage of grain falls into thiscategory. If the proprietor of a hackney can be licensed andcontrolled, so can warehousemen. "We know that this is a powerwhich may be abused; but that is no argument against its existence.For protection against abuses by Legislatures, the people mustresort to the polls, not to the courts......"

compensation, to the general public on an indifferent basis,transporting goods, property, and regulating drivers, chauffeurs ofpassenger vehicles uses to transport people, for hire, for profit,for gain, for compensation, on an indifferent basis]

[Thus, Vehicle Code 'not' being general law, a law which affectsthe community at large, and does not omit any subject and operatesequally upon all of a group, is a private business statute whichembraces a class of subjects well defined within the context of thestatute. Thus, it does not embrace the general public privatelytraveling upon the highways of the State by force of statutory law,does not have the force of law upon the general public]

[Vehicle Code is mere private business civil statute enacted forregulating special class of persons in the business of operating ascommon/public carriers for hire to the general public on anindifferent basis for hire, for profit, gain and compensation]

Beginning with the Motor Vehicle Act of 1905, and continuing to thepresent time, that intent has remained constant, up to andincluding the re-enactment of the code in 1959.

[Does a part time driver chauffeur need a license?]

At the time of the re-enactment of Vehicle Code of 1959, s250defined 'chauffeur' as; "Chauffeur is a person who is employed byanother for the principle purpose of driving a motor vehicle on thehighways and receives compensation therefor"

[At the time of the enactment of Motor Vehicle Act of 1905, it wasthe clear intent to regulate those persons who drove forcompensation and so those persons who wished to chauffeur forcompensation had to apply for and be granted and issued a 'license'in order to earn a livelihood on the highways of the state aschauffeurs]

When VC s250 was repealed, 1961, amended, Chapter 1615, page 3452,July 12, 1961, filed July 13, 1961, it simply substituted 'driver'for 'chauffeur'

[It was a deliberate act to obfuscate by semantics and therebycause traveling persons driving their passenger vehicles forprivate business and pleasure and transportation to believe that heis required to have a driver's license, that the mere act ofdriving for personal travel, business, was a privilege, althoughthe common law right remained unaffected by the trickery anddeceit]

Where fundamental vested rights are involved, courts have the dutyto scrutinize the issue before them under independent judgmenttest, rather than mere substantial evidence, or rationale basistest, as a matter of law.Bixby vs Pierno, 4 C3d 130

Statutes are not presumed to alter common law except to the extentthat they expressly so provide. "The civil code was not designed toembody the whole law of private and civil relations, rights, andduties; it is incomplete and partial; and except in those instanceswhere its language is clearly and unequivocally discloses anintention to depart from, alter, or abrogate the common law ruleconcerning a particular subject matter, a section of the codepurporting to embody such doctrine or rule will be construed in thelight of common law decisions on the same subject"(Estate of Elizalde, 182 Cal 427, 433)

The rule is stated as follows in 45 California Juris-prudence 2d,s116, page 625:

"Statutes must be given a reasonable and common sense constructionin accordance with the apparent purpose and intention of the lawmakers - one that is practical policy rather than to mischief orabsurdity"

The court should consider the consequences that might flow from aparticular interpretation (Estate of Ryan, 21 Cal 2d 498) and wherethe language is susceptible of two different constructions generalphrasing must yield to an intent which is apparent from the actitself.

"Personal liberty largely consists of the right of locomotion, togo where and when one pleases, only so far restrained as the rightsof others may make it necessary for the welfare of all othercitizens" (Williams vs Fears, 179 US 270; Pinkerton vs Verberg, 78Mich. 573)

"The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and totransport his property thereon, by horse drawn carriage, wagon,automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted orprohibited at will, but common right which he has under the rightto life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Under thisconstitutional guarantee one may, therefore, under normalconditions, travel at this inclination along the publichighways or in public places, and while conducting himself in anorderly and decent manner neither interfering with nor disturbinganother's rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, butin his safe conduct" (Thompson vs Smith, 155 Va 367)

NATURE OF LICENSES AS MALEFACTIONS

The primary intention of licensing, a right and then naming it a'privilege', really, is not prohibition, but regulation of the'right'. This regulation of the 'right' is made effective by aform, general denial of the 'right' and renaming it a 'privilege',which is then made available to the individual by an administrativeact of approval, a license/permit/consent. Thus, does a 'right'

Page 131: Redbook on Travel

become a 'privilege', but calling something a gift/privilegecannot make it one. When a robber takes part of a man's money(right to property), but leaves the rest, the victim certainly doesnot feel that he has been given anything.

VOL 1 CHAPTER 11 - 20

PAGE 184

A license which regulates an activity, which are rights by commonlaw or 'natural law' are intended to restrict the liberty andenjoyment of private property in the name of revenue andregulation.

Thus, it is very clear that the requirement of a license is notintended as a 'privilege' , but as a common restraint uponactivities authorized by the common law for the intent of a licensein to pursue that regulated activity which otherwise is unlawful tothe individual without the license.

Here lies a conflict. The license is the permission to perform anillegal activity, in for, but in substance the license is alimitation of a action/activity which otherwise is lawful. So, thepurpose of the 'gift of privilege' is to restrict the rightfulactivity of the licensee and to prohibit the lawful activities, ofthose without the 'gift', activities already existing at commonlaw.

"A license is in the nature of special privilege entitling licenseeto do something he would not be entitled to do without the license"(San Francisco vs Liverpool, 74 Cal 113)

"Power of the legislature to impose taxes upon occupations andprivileges in unlimited, save restrictions found in organic law,(People vs Coleman, 4 Cal 46; People vs McGreery 34 Cal 342) orsuch as are inherent in nature of subject itself"

"License fee imposed as revenue measure cannot be justified underpolice power" (San Francisco vs Boss, 83 CA2d 445)

"The individual has no liability to the State where there is nopossession of state license/contract nexus, or where possession ofsame is by necessity.

The necessity being to protect life, liberty and property from an

Where the benefits of the license are unwanted, and the wanting ofthe benefits is an important one, since, if a benefit is forcedupon a person who objects, the benefit then becomes a gift and noreciprocating obligation arises. Even (cont)

THE RIGHT TO TRAVEL IN THE MODE OF THE DAY, BE IT MOTOR VEHICLE,WAGON, CARRIAGE BY HORSE, IS INVIOLATE AND PROTECTED BEYOND COMMONLAW, ANTECEDENTLY, AND CONSTITUTIONALLY, AND BY INTERNATIONALTREATY

The United States State Department has defined the right to travelas being among the multiple entente meanings of Human Rights inthose treaties.

"Treaties have the effect of overruling state and Federal laws.This is not generally well known" (Chief Justice Warren Burger, USSupreme Court, Quoted by New York Times Magazine, September 22,1985)

"The United States has always been dedicated to the faithfulobservance of its treaty obligations. Many of the treaties to whichthe United States is a party contain stipulations so drafted thatthey create private rights, duties, privileges, or immunitieswithout the need of implementing legislation. Such treaties byvirtue of the constitution, are more than international obligationsof the U.S., they become part of our domestic law upon being made.Citing Haver vs Yaker, 9 Wall 32, 35, (1869) ".......inthis country, a treaty is domestic law upon being made, somethingmore than a contract, for the federal constitution declares it to

be the law of the land. It is consequently to be regarded in thecourts of justice as equivalent to an act of the legislaturewhenever it operates of itself, without the aid of any legislativeprovision, ruled so in marshall, C.J. in Foster vs Neilson, 2 Pet253, 314 (1829)

"A treaty then is a law of the land as an act of Congress is,whenever its provisions prescribe a rule by which the rights of theprivate citizen or subject may be determined" (Head Money Cases,112 US 580, 598, 599,(1884)

"If the treaty contains stipulations which are self executing, thatis, require no legislative act to make them operative, to thatextent they have the force and effect of legislative enactment"(Whitney vs Robertson, 124 US 190, 194, (1888)

Justice Cardoza drew the distinction as follows: "A treaty has atwofold aspect. In its primary operation it is a compact betweenindependent states. In its secondary operation, it is a source ofprivate rights for individuals within the states" (Techt vs Hughes,229NY 222, 242(1920)

LICENSE IS BUSINESS CONTRACT WITH A PRIVATE AGENCY CREATED BY THESTATE, BUT IS NOT THE STATE EVEN THOUGH THE STATE AS AN INTEREST

It has been held that license involves a 'contract obligation' topay a specific compensation for a privilege.

State vs Chicago & North West RR, 108 NW 594

Chauffeur/driver license is a unilateral contract. After offer wasaccepted by a performance of the act, there was an obligationoutstanding on person only, the person performing the act asunilateral contract is by a promise for an act, or by an act for apromise.

DMV offers the privilege in return for a sum of money. But untilyou accept the privilege by the act of performing the privilege, noobligation is outstanding, thus, the license is void and no rights,or civil liabilities arise under a void contract. To phrase itanother way: When you have taken no bite from the proffered apple'privilege', have not enjoyed the sweetness of the fruit, noobligation or duty exists with the proffering agency, theDepartment of Motor Vehicles enforcing the Vehicle Code.

[A bench warrant for arrest for a failure to appear on a Notice toAppear constitutes a false arrest by the magistrate issuing thebench warrant when the matter allegedly before the tribunal iscivil special statutory procedure. Is error as it assumes personnamed on the notice is a licensee and was engaged in the activityregulated and enforced by the Department of Motor Vehicles.]

(cont) used by INS and other agencies. It is not the ordinaryjudicial warrant; yet, even so, there is some check in therequirement that, before the administrative warrant is signed, thesigning official must be shown a prima facie case, and even if wemust, under Wong Wing, concede that administrative arrest authoritymay be conferred where necessary to give effect to substantivepowers possessed by an agency, that is true only where substantivepowers are powers over the person (Aiuppa vs US 338 US F2d 146)only substantial relationship means jurisdiction(See vs Seattle 387 US 541, Camara vs San Francisco 387 US 523)

Otherwise administrative arrest authority might be permitted sowidely that it could subvert the practical effectiveness of theFourth (Aiuppa)"

"To the administrative arrest power may thus be added anadministrative bail power, remembering first, power over theperson. The vital safeguard of independent judicial determinationis lacking. The same agency which is given arrest power, alsodetermines whether there is probable cause to support a givenarrest, whether the person detained should be conditionallyreleased on bail. To all this should be added the fact that it isthe same agency that makes the charge which leads to the arrest,prosecutes the charge and then determines in an administrativeproceeding whether the charge is justified.

[A bench warrant cannot issue without the filing of a verifiedcomplaint showing the probable cause for the arrest as themagistrate is without subject matter jurisdiction]

[Where the matter is a quasi-criminal procedure for mala prohibitamisdemeanor under Vehicle Code, then because a six month jailincarceration may ensue, it is a deprival of due process of thelaw.

[It is the belief of the author that the law enforcement agencymust be the Department of Motor Vehicles, as Notices to Appear areonly authorized within Vehicle Code, and original jurisdiction liesonly with that agency]

[This author then started his research with VC s40500, and followed

[The bottom line question is: Is this a mala prohibita or is it amala en se violation?]

[This author believes and contends that any action, which isinitiated by a Notice to Appear pursuant to Vehicle Code, cannot beconverted to a public offense status. That is why cops, districtattorneys and prosecutors, never, when a party has been issued acivil, extra-judicial notice, file a verified complaint charginga public offense based only on the notice itself, and why arrestingquasi-cops never verify a Notice to Appear as required under s40513(b), which only then permits the magistrate to issue a benchwarrant for failure to appear when the notice is checked as a'traffic ticket'.]

[If the matter was a true penal code misdemeanor, mala en se, andthe issue is 'no Driver's License', and you are to be prosecutedfor not having a Driver's License, here is the due processprocedure which the magistrate & prosecutor must do when theprocedure is 'quasi-criminal' in nature]

A confession must bevoluntary and knowingly made, and must show corpus delicti, primafacie and mens rea evidence before it may be introduced into therecord of the case by a court at a pre-trial hearing, or at thetrial]

[Where a confession is obtained under duress, by coercion orthreat, and fear of loss of liberty, that confession is not anadmissible confession of guilt. Standing alone, without a

[Thus, where a magistrate admits a Notice to Appear as a confessionwithout voluntary giving of evidence, and no proof of corpusdelicti, prima facie and mens rea, and where the magistrate hasinformed the defendant that the matter before the bench is criminalor quasi-criminal prosecution, then there must be a showing readingof Miranda vs Arizona rights 1966, 384 US 436, 444 rule]

If you ask the magistrate what is the nature of yourappearance and the procedure before him, he will inform you that iscriminal or quasi-criminal, thus due process criminal prosecutionmust be observed from the moment of the original stop and arrest,which was custodial, because you were denied the right to continueto enjoy your liberty to leave]

CITIZEN'S LAW REVIEWPublisher Public Interest School of LawVOL 1 ISSUE 6 - 1992

Page 166: Redbook on Travel

HAVE YOU BEEN CHARGED WITH DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENSE?

The following is what is known as a 'so what' defense; yes, Iwas driving without a chauffeur/driver license, 'so what!', no lawexists which can command me to have a license while using thecommon highways for personal travel, pleasure, transportation orbusiness, or while engaged in a legitimate business for profit .

In the RED BOOK, the string of argument is that where a man isnot engaged in a business activity for compensation, there is noneed for a chauffeur/driver license by an individual.

That police power exists to license an activity only when theactivity is unlawful under common law, i.e.., selling alcoholicbeverages. Thus, author alleges that so long as the right to engagein a business, which is a commercial activity, exists, then whenengaged in a lawful business/occupation, then the man has the rightto engage in commerce, that commerce itself can be regulated, butthe individual so engaged cannot be regulated or controlled by alicense, which may only be required for acts which are for thebenefit of general public by the dedication of one's property tothe benefit of the general public.

Without the dedication, then one is only pursuing a livelihoodby performing a service in commerce, as the means by which one'sproperty remains private, thereby no obligation to the generalpublic, but only to the individual member of the general public,one is serving, thus, any obligation thereby is only the subject ofcivil litigation between private litigants.

Remembering that the legislature has no police power, andprivate statutory enactments are without police power as they areprivate, in nature, such as Vehicle Code, and your pursuit of alegitimate pursuit; let's turn to the law and be educated as toyour right to use the public highways, and your private automobilefor legitimate compensation by servicing another individual.

"The right of a citizen to engage in a business that isinnocent and useful is constitutionally protected (Whitwell, In re98 C 73, 32 P 870), and neither the legislature (Whitwell & LaurelHill etc. vs San Francisco 152 C 464, 93 P 70 affd 216 US 358, 54Led 515, 30 S Ct; Foley In re 172 C 744, 158 P 1034; Mares, In re75 CA2d 798, 171 P2d 762), nor the governing body of a city orcounty (McCoy In re 98 CA 116, 101 P 419) may, under the guise ofprotecting the public interest, arbitrarily interfere with private

Page 167: Redbook on Travel

business, or impose unusual or unnecessary restriction of lawfuloccupations. The procuring of licenses may not be required, asmeans of prohibiting any avocation that is not injurious to thepublic morals, offensive to the senses, or dangerous to the publichealth and safety; nor may conditions by annexed to their issuancethat would tend to such a prohibition (Whitwell In re supra; Sonaravs Crutin 137 C 583, 70 P 674)

"The right to prohibit the sale or traffic in intoxicatingliquor, is entirely separate and distinct from the power toregulate and impose a license tax, thereon, for revenue purposes,and an ordinance which in terms proceeds under the latter power,but in effect amounts to an exercise of the former, cannot stand"Merced County vs Fleming 111 C 46, 43 P 392

Thus, where there is no power to regulate the individual manin the pursuit of happiness, and a legitimate livelihood, then the(cont)

PAGE 229

(cont) use of the license fee to obtain revenue, cannot standwhere it can only exist under the power to regulate.

"The principle limitation on the exercise of power to licenseis that a legitimate business may not be subjected to oppressive,or unjust discriminatory burdens (Guerrero In re 69 C 88, 10 P 261;Pacific etc. vs Conrad 168 C 91, 141 P 916) Indeed, a state cannotexclude a person from any occupation in a manner, or for reasons,that contravene the due process or equal protection clauses ofFourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. (Endler vsSchutzbank 68 C2d 162, 65 CalTptr 297, 436 P2d 297)

Let's exhaust WHITWELL, which is so pertinent to the issue ofno licensing of the individual, when the respondent in that caseargued that licensing is a legitimate police regulation:

Quoting the court in WHITWELL: "The police power-the power tomake laws to secure the comfort, convenience, peace & health of thecommunity-is an extensive one, & in its exercise a very widediscretion as to what is needful, or proper for that purpose, isnecessarily committed to the legislative body in which the power tomake such laws is vested (Ex parte Tuttle 91 Cal 589) But, it isnot true that when this power is exerted for the purpose ofregulating a business or occupation, which in itself is recognized

Page 168: Redbook on Travel

as innocent and useful to the community, the legislature is theexclusive judge as to what is a reasonable and just restraint upona constitutional right of the citizen to pursue such business orprofession. As the right of the citizen to engage in such businessor follow such a profession is protected by the constitution, it isalways a judicial question whether any particular regulation ofsuch right is a valid exercise of the legislative power (Tiedeman'sLimitation of Police Power ss 85, 194 State vs Jersey City 47 NJL286; Commonwealth vs Robertson 5 Cush 438; Austin vs Murray 16 Piek121) This principle is stated very forcibly in the case of (Muglervs Kansas 123 US 661), in the following language;" "The courts arenot bound by mere forms, nor are they to be misled by merepretenses. They are at liberty, indeed are under solemn duty, tolook at the substance of things whenever they enter upon theinquiry, of whether the legislature has transcended the limits ofits authority. If, therefore, a statute purporting to have beenenacted to protect the public health, the public morals, or thepublic safety (here think vehicle code, inserted by author), has noreal or substantive relation to these objects, or is palpableinvasion of rights secured by the fundamental law, it is the dutyof the courts to so adjudge, and thereby give effect to theconstitution"

And so, in the (Matter of Jacobs 98 NY 108; 50 Am Rep 636,Earl J.) in delivering the opinion of the court in that case, saidin relation to the power of the legislature to make policeregulations: "The limit of the power cannot be accurately defined,and the courts have not been able, or willing definitely tocircumscribe it. But, the power, however, broad and extensive isnot above the constitution. When it speaks its voice must beheeded. It furnishes the supreme law and guide for the conduct oflegislators, judges and private persons, and so far as it imposesrestraints, the police power must be exercised in subordinationthereto."

And this necessary limitation upon the power of thelegislature to interfere with the fundamental rights of thecitizens in the enactment of police regulations was recognized bythis (cont)

PAGE 230

(cont) court in (Ex parte Sing Lee 96 Cal 354), in which case, wesaid that the personal liberty of the citizen and his rights ofproperty cannot be invaded under guise of police regulation

Page 169: Redbook on Travel

Unquote.

"So long as one uses his property for private purposes anddoes not devote it to public use, the public has no interest in itand no voice it its control." (Assoc. Pipe vs Rail Road Comm 176Cal 518)

"The Constitution found it (commerce) an existing right, and(Gibbons vs Ogden 9 Wheaton 1, 211) it gave to Congress the powerto regulate it"

The citizen's rights in commerce do not come from theConstitution. They existed before the Constitution was written, andas Chief Justice Marshall pointed out, the Constitution recognizesthat fact. If the right of man to trade is above the Constitution,and the Constitution empowers Congress only to regulate commerce,by no sound reasoning can the conclusion be reached that Congresscan stop commerce.

Mugler vs Kansas supra: "It does not follow that everystatute, enacted ostensibly for the promotion of these ends, is tobe accepted as a legitimate exertion of the police powers of theState. There are, of necessity, limits beyond which legislationcannot rightfully go. While every possible presumption is to beindulged in favor of the validity of the Statute, the courts mustobey the Constitution, rather than the law making department ofgovernment and must, upon their own responsibility, determinewhether, in any particular case, these limits have been passed."

So, although Congress and the Legislatures of the States mayregulate commerce, that regulation cannot demand franchises,licensing, permits required of the Man, so engaged, as rightscannot be licensed where a right exists, other than by thevoluntary act by the Man.

REGULATE: The power of Congress to regulate commerce is thepower to enact all appropriate legislation for its protection oradvancement; to adopt measures to promote its growth, and insureits safety; to foster, protect, control and restrain. (Virginiaetc. vs System etc. 84 F2d 641, 650)

Thus, State and Congress may regulate the commercial activityof the trafficker, manufacturer, dedicated property, i.e. seatbelts, safety features in a manufacturer's products; regulate thefood processor, drug manufacturer, etc., for the safety of the

Page 170: Redbook on Travel

public, or those who have an effect on the morals of the public,but that is done by licensing/franchising/incorporation, but notthe individual functioning as a private man/individual to serveanother man/individual while so doing to earn a livelihood, whichdoes not endanger the public etc.

Unless there is a clear indication of a contrary legislativeintent, (17) if the legislature provides a remedy before anadministrative agency which meets the demand of due process of thelaw (18), and does not invade the constitutional jurisdiction of acourt, a court may be deemed to have no jurisdiction in thepremises. Administrative agencies and their departments have beenheld to have exclusive original jurisdiction of particular matter,which precludes an original action in court in regard to suchmatters, (20) particularly where the statute provides for 'finaland conclusive' action by the administrative agency. (1) Thisprinciple is not limited to remedies in relation to rights createdby the statutes empowering the administrative agencies, but appliesas well, to 'common law rights' protection or endorsement, ofwhich, is confided to the administrative tribunals.

ARTHUR FRANK SANFORD, DEMAND FOR 'FORMAL' Demandant, ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGNotice to Appear No. TO ESTABLISH RECORD FORAgency:

Page 178: Redbook on Travel

REVIEW; ADJUDICATION ANDOfficer: DECLARATORY JUDGMENTArea: ON ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD

Held, that the constitutionality of an agency's procedure may bechallenged in a judicial reviewing court, without first challengingin the agency, and without first exhausting administrative remedieson the questions(Mathews vs Eldridge, 424 US 319 (1976),

However, demandant believes that,because it is a sharp departure from previous law, and in certainrespects, contrary to the clear words before it, that he willexhaust administrative remedies, as the historical holdings areclearly cut as to demanded procedure.

Administrative exhaustion is demanded where constitutionalchallenge is to the statute as applied by the agency. (Matters vsCity, 219 NW2d 718)

Where the challenge is to the statute as administered, theexhaustion requirement does serve a useful purpose. The courtsshould not rule that a statute is unconstitutionally administeredwhen the available avenues of administration have not been explored(Metcalf vs Swank, 444 F2d 1353, 1357 (7th Cir 1971), vacated onother grounds, 406 US 1114 (1972)

When determination of the constitutional issue depends (cont)

PAGE 243

(cont) on factual determinations, they should be made first by theadministrative officials who are especially equipped to inquire, inthe first instance, into the facts. (Roadway Express vs Kingsley,179 A2d 729, 732)

HISTORY OF CASE DEMANDS ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING

An immediate hearing is vital on this matter as the demandant hasbecome an aggrieved person suffering legal wrongs, noadministrative hearing record of facts of the matter for review, orissues for review are extant; demandant has not been heard and

Page 179: Redbook on Travel

exhausted, people have not exhausted, and yet the people areproceeding without 'exclusive record of hearing' asking vehiclecode enforcement where the demandant is not a common carrier,without allegation or presentation of facts that he was engaged incommon carriage at the time of the 'traffic stop'.

Before a matter may be reviewed, a record of the hearing and theruling must be established on the record of the administrativeagency, for review by the agency is nothing more than an appellateprocedure for a final determination by the agency.

Procedure to be followed is outlined within Government Code, Title2, Div. 3, Chapter 5, Administrative Adjudication Gov C. 11500 -11528 Upon final appeal by the agency the matter may be moved fora review by judicial court.

The basic principle is that review is limited to the agency record(US vs Bianco, 373 US 709, 715) "The review shall be confined tothe record" More recent cases applying the principle are (Interiorvs Rogers, 522 P2d 164 (1974); Lellis vs Archie, 516 P2d 469, 471(1973); Helland vs Civil Service, 519 P2d 258, 260 (1974) (cont)

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

In Austin vs Department of Motor Vehicles, Court of Appeal, Case No037357, Superior Court No 309327, Court of Appeal, first AppellateDistrict, Division Two held "(a) request for Formal Hearingoperates to stay proceedings"

"A court cannot engage in any action which deprives a party beforeit of his constitutional rights. It has long been recognized thatit is a proper function of courts to act to check on improper useof both executive and legislative powers"Powell vs McCormack 395 US 486 citingKilborn vs Thompson 103 US 168 to whit;

"Especially is it competent and proper for this court to considerwhether proceedings are in conformity with constitution and laws,

Page 180: Redbook on Travel

because, living under a written constitution, no branch ordepartment of government is supreme; it is the province and duty ofjudicial and administrative departments, in cases regularly broughtbefore them, whether powers of any branch of government have beenexercised in conformity to the constitution; if they have not, totreat their acts as null and void"

PAGE 245

Evidence may not be received by the reviewing court, even if it waswrongfully excluded by the agency, or is newly discovered evidence.If the court feels that such evidence should be heard, it shouldremand the case for it to be received before the agency.

Not only is review restricted to the administrative record, it isalso limited to the issues raised before the agency. Both orderlyprocedure and good administration require that objections to agencyproceedings be made while the agency has the opportunity forcorrection (US vs Tucker, 344 US 33, 37). Any issue not raised atthe administrative level may not be considered on review.

A reviewing court usurps the agency's function when it sets asidethe administrative determination upon a ground not theretoforepresented, and deprives the agency of an opportunity to considerthe matter, make its ruling, and state the reasons for its action(Unemployment vs Aragon, 329 US 143, 155 (1946) The Supreme Court has been strict in applying this principle, sinceit has felt that it is as essential to the effective operation ofthe administrative agency process as it is to that of the trialcourts.

Freedom to save issues until review would be as destructive ofagency autonomy, as freedom to withhold evidence at theadministrative level, and then to introduce it in a judicialproceeding (373 US 717)

An administrative agency is a creature of statute (Soriano vs US,494 F2d 681, 683, (9th Circuit 1974) As a corporation is to itscharter, the administrative is to its enabling legislation. Thismeans that the basic doctrine of administrative law, as ofcorporate law, is the doctrine of ultra vires. The jurisdictionprinciple is the root principle of administrative power. Thestatute is the source of agency authority as well as its limits. Ifan agency act is within the statutory limits (vires), it is valid.

Page 181: Redbook on Travel

If it is outside them (ultra vires), it is invalid. No statute isneeded to establish this; it is inherent in the constitutionalpositions of agencies and courts (Stark vs Wickard, 420 F2d 592)

Thus, when court sits as 'administrative agency (cont)

PAGE 246

(cont) hearing officer' for administrative regulations enforcementpurposes, it wields the power of the agency vires. However, whena court sits for a particular agency, ultra vires, an agencywithout jurisdiction subject matter or person, it is bare of power,a sham court which proceeds at its own peril.

DEMAND FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING

An immediate hearing is vital on this matter as the demandanthas become an aggrieved person, suffering legal wrongs anddeprivation of the protection of his constitutional rights, and anyadministrative rights he may have when he is not within theirjurisdiction. No administrative hearing of the case noticed on this demandhas been held, or is part of the administrative record for anadministrative review or issue of mandamus. Defendant has not been heard and his remedies exhausted, andpeople have not filed an accusation with the agency, and thusobviously, their intent is to by-pass the agency, to the detrimentand harm of the demandant, and to the denigration of the agency,and its primary jurisdiction.

A government agency wants jurisdiction to directly affect a personor any subject matter related to his person (Wilson vs US; US vsTexas; Murdock vs Pa.), and may not haul any natural person intoany administrative forum without his voluntary assent, (voluntarybeing fully knowing, intentional), subscription to a particular'regulatory scheme' (Wickard vs Filburn, USSC, 1942), it isimpossible to prove jurisdiction exists absent a substantial nexuswith the state, such as voluntary subscription to license. Alljurisdictional facts supporting the claim that the supposedjurisdiction exists must appear on the record of the court (PipeLine vs Marathon 102 S Ct 2858; quoting Crowell vs Benson, 285 US22)

Therefore, this demand that the 'dept' notice a (cont)

Page 182: Redbook on Travel

PAGE 247

(cont) hearing for the demandant within thirty days of the mailingof this demand.

BY A FAILURE TO HEAR MATTER WILL BE COLLATERALLY ESTOPPED

If agency fails to respond, and thus, stand silent on the demandfor a hearing, and to provide remedy to the demandant, Doctrine ofCollateral Estoppel will prevail.

The failure of the agency to grant hearing, bars civilliability or criminal prosecution for actus reas later under theCollateral Estoppel Doctrine, as Administrative Law demands, arethe administrative equivalent of judicial Declaratory judgment, andall Natural Law requirements and indicia that apply to JudicialDeclaratory Judgments also apply to Administrative Judgments.Babcock vs Babcock, 63 CA2d 94;Maxwell vs Maxwell, 66 CA2d 549

That failure to hear, estopps a magistrate from presiding overcriminal charges pursuant to statutory penalties, where issues wereoffered to be settled, and should have been settled, in the lesser executive administrative forum offering remedy. Thisdoctrine is found as a consistent pattern of rulings throughout theUnited States Supreme Court rulings.

A COURT CAN ONLY BE DELEGATED TO SIT AND HEAR THE RECORD FOR THEDEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES WHERE THE 'DEPT' ITSELF HASJURISDICTION OF SUBJECT MATTER/PERSONAM

"An administrative agency it a creature of statute (Soriano vs US,494 F2d 681, 683 (9th Cir 1974)

As a corporation is to its charter, administrative agency isto its enabling legislation. This means that the basic doctrine ofadministrative law, as of corporate law, is the doctrine of ultravires. The jurisdiction principle of administrative power. Thestatute is the source of agency authority, as well as its limits.If an agency is within the statutory limits (vires), it in valid. If it is outside them (ultra vires), it is invalid. No statute isneeded to establish this; it is inherent in the constitutionalpositions of agencies and courts (Stark vs Wickard, 420 F2d 592)

Where a person is not, at the time, a licensee for theparticular agency, his license having expired, and he not havingasked for its renewal, neither the agency nor any other officials,has jurisdiction of said person to consider or to make any orderOne ground as to the jurisdiction, was that accused was not alicensee, and it is not claimed that he was. His license hadexpired and he had not asked its renewal. (O'Neil vs Dept Prof andVocations, 7 CA2d 398; Eiseman vs Daugherty, 6 CA 783)

There was no allegation that demandant was licensed under anyact (in fact it was stated that he did not have a license). Thelicense was not offered in evidence. But assuming the accusationwas sufficient, evidence failed to prove demandant came within itslimitations. (King vs Bd Med Exam, 65 CA2d 644)

Assuming demandant was a licensee, (dept) has no authorityto....enforce any licensee unless he is acting for compensation.Such an act is highly penal in its nature, and should not beconstrued to include anything which is not embraced within itsterms. There is no charge in the (notice to appear) complaint, noevidence to prove the charge, if it were in the complaint, thataccused was employed for compensation. (Schomig vs Keiser, 189 Cal596)

Incompetent action by the agency (Department of MotorVehicles), whether directly or through a court sittingadministerial as hearing officer, must be clearly defined in thestatute before it has subject matter jurisdiction, without such

Page 184: Redbook on Travel

jurisdiction of licensee, all acts of the agency, by its employees,agents, hearing officers, are null and void. (City vs Pearson, 181Cal 640)

PAGE 250

It is basic in our law that an administrative agency may actonly within the area of 'jurisdiction' marked out for it by law. Ifan individual does not come within the coverage of the particularagency's enabling legislation, the agency is without power to takeany action which effects him (Endicott vs Perkins, 317 US 501(1943)

A government agency wants jurisdiction to 'directly' affect aperson or any subject matter relAted to his person, and may nothaul any natural person into any administrative forum without hisvoluntary assent by subscription to a particular 'regulatoryscheme' (Wickard vs Filburn), and it is impossible to provejurisdiction exists absent a substantial nexus with the state, suchas voluntary subscription, license/contract. All jurisdictionalfacts supporting the claim that the supposed jurisdiction existsmust appear on the record of the court. (Pipe Line vs Marathon, 102S Ct 2858; quoting Crowell vs Benson, 285 US 22)

It is an accepted rule, not only of state Courts, but, offederal courts as well, when a judge is enforcing administrativelaw, they are described as 'mere extensions of the administrativeagency for superior reviewing purposes' for an agency, and so actat their own risk and peril. (30 Cal 596; 167 Cal 762)

Supra: City vs Pearson, where an employee or agency moveswithout jurisdiction, cause of action, deprival of due process oflaw, deprival of constitutional rights, lie.

PAGE 251

HISTORY OF THE CASE

An immediate hearing is vital on this matter as the demandant hasbecome an aggrieved person, suffering legal wrongs and deprivationof the protection of constitutional rights. No administrativehearing record of the facts of the matter for review, or issues forreview are extant. Demandant has not been heard/exhausted, peoplehave not exhausted remedy, and yet the people have proceededwithout 'exclusive record for reviewing procedure' before a court

Page 185: Redbook on Travel

sitting where the agency was without jurisdiction of the subjectmatter/persona. Agency did not, and could not, accordingly delegateauthority of the particular court to sit with jurisdiction, as thedemandant is not a licensee of the DMV, nor engaged in the activityregulated by 'Dept', that of common carrier.

Where a party (demandant) is without a license, the evidence of acontract, all acts to prosecute for an allegedviolation/breach/misdemeanor of the contract are null and void,unless party was engaged in regulated activity of common carrier.

On March 12, 1985, demandant was given a notice to appear M 084259,quoting certain sections of Vehicle Code, by an informer, one T.Koblick, to wit; 23152a and 125900a VC.

On April 09, 1985, appeared special to inform hearing officer ofhis want of proof of jurisdiction of the subject matter, and theperson of the accused.

Hearing officer entered plea, although without proving hisjurisdiction of the accused, of not guilty.

On May 24, 1985, accused was placed to trial by jury (cont)

PAGE 252

(cont) wanted proof of jurisdiction of the subject or accused. OnMay 28, 1985, accused was found guilty of 12500a and 23152a VC.

A copy of the docket of the unlawful case is attached hereto.

On October 17, 1985, accused filed a notice of appeal, erroneously,with the Superior Court of California, Appellate Department as hehad not exhausted his remedy with the Department of Motor Vehicles,and now is attempting to rectify that error, and, by this demandasks the 'dept' to grant this hearing to set and administrativerecord for review in the judicial courts.

DEMAND FOR HEARING

Therefore, this demand that the 'dept' notice a hearing on thismatter within sixty days (VC s16075 (b) )If hearing is denied, matter at issue will be estopped for anyfurther action by the Department of Motor

Vehicles.

CONCLUSION AND DEMAND

This hearing, for administrative findings, must state reasons,basis, authority, rationale, for its decisions and orders and acts.(In re Sturm 11 Ca3d 258) in the form of a written statement, whichsets forth findings that bridge the analytic gap between raw andevidence, and the decision or order, (Topanga Assoc vs Los Angeles,11 Ca3d 506) in order to assure administrative decision making iscareful, reasoned and equitable. (Farfield vs Ct, 14 C3d 768) Thatthe statement cannot merely relate statutory language, but must berelated to and based on, the record of the facts before the agency(Topanga cited in Sierra Club vs hayward, 28 c3d 840, 860)

The failure of the agency to grant a hearing bars civil liability,or criminal prosecution for actus reas later under the Doctrine ofCollateral Estoppel, as Administrative Law demands for hearing arethe administrative equivalent of judicial Declaratory Judgment, andall Natural Law requirements and indicia that apply to JudicialDeclaratory Judgment also apply to Administrative Judgments.

Where an administrative agency has quasi-judicial power to hear andrule to a final determination on matters within its jurisdiction,and does so, then; "The conclusiveness of judgment in a prior action, wheresubsequent action is upon different cause of action, is barred bydoctrine of collateral estoppel"Babcock vs Babcock, supra

Where an administrative agency has no jurisdiction of matter orissue outside its delegated authority, it stands silent on thedemand for hearing, or refuses to grant one because of that want ofjurisdiction, the matter is barred by Collateral Estoppel Doctrinefrom a subsequent action on the same matter or issue.

A recent case, Gonzalez vs Municipal Ct, 87 Daily Journal D A R,8930, the Court of Appeal, and here defendant takes the positionthat a 'no grant of hearing for want of jurisdiction is the same asan exoneration', the court cited Peo vs Sims, 32 CA13d 468 (1982),which ruled that Doctrine of Collateral Estoppel bars a criminalprosecution by administrative hearing by the agency; and in thecase before it, 'Gonzalez', held that 'Sims' decision compelledruling collateral estoppel barred district attorney action.

" In this case we address a facet of the collateral (cont)

If the court denies this motion for dismissal, and permits thedistrict attorney without jurisdiction, to prosecute defendant,court will place the defendant into a position of 'double jeopardy'in permitting district attorney to petition the court for a trialon the same issue adjudicated by the agency with primaryjurisdiction. California Constitution, Article 1, s13

Double Jeopardy:No person shall be twice put into jeopardy for the same offense.

Page 190: Redbook on Travel

Caveat: The district attorney has failed to pursue the issue with theparty, with the primary jurisdiction, so is attempting to usurp thepower of the agency, which is a NO NO!

Grounds for the granting of Motion for Continuance are clear andstated within Notice of Defense, Demand for Formal AdministrativeHearing, and Department of Motor Vehicles is agency with primaryjurisdiction and the first instance on all matters of vehicle code.

PAGE 263

District Attorney, County of San Bernardino, California has failedto properly initiate an accusation with the DMV, the enforcementagency for Vehicle Code 1959. Defendant in order to protect hisright to hearing and the remedy available to him by administrativeagency by a setting of the administrative record for review, hasinitiated such an action himself, thus, this court sitting mustcontinue the matter until all remedy has been exhausted at theadministrative level.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT

OPENING STATEMENT

Movant contends that this court is without jurisdiction, asjurisdiction is defined as follows:

To have power and authority to hear and determine issues of factand law by having jurisdiction over the supposed subject matter asa cause of action. To make a record of evidence found, findings offact and conclusion of the law. To make orders, decrees, judgmentswith supporting rationale.

Where a person challenges the agency/court's jurisdiction by aspecial appearance, the court/agency, it cannot proceed [Melo vsUS, 505 F2d 1026; Joyce vs US, 474 F2d 215] the burden of proofshifts to the government forum [Rosemont vs Lambert, 469 F2d 416]forum must produce on the record of the court/agency alljurisdictionfacts related to the assertion [Lantana vs Hopper, 102 F2d 118; NYvs US, 337 F Supp 150]

Page 195: Redbook on Travel

Movant challenges the forum's assumed jurisdiction to hear and ruleon this matter presumptuously as court is not, though it isdeceptively presenting itself as a judicial court my aquasi-criminal procedure, moving forward to deny movant his rightto administrative remedy by the DMV.

This forum/court is not a United State Article III judicial court.Only after the agency (DMV) has set the record, may this forum, alegislative court, sitting 'as mere extension of the agency' for'superior reviewing purposes' [FRC vs Gen Elec., 281 US 464; Kellervs Pot. Ed., 216 US 428]

Only the particular agency with primary jurisdiction, DMV, may makea record and decision on the applicable law, and the facts of theaccusation after investigating of the accusation. That record, ofthe agency, (cont)

PAGE 265

(cont) then becomes final and review may then be had if needed.

Accordingly, this legislative court/forum, at this time, is withoutjurisdiction to hear a quasi-accusation naming the movant, noadministrative record for review exists, and no substantivecriminal charge is evidenced for court to sit judicially, or anyallegation sustained with facts that the movant was engaged in and enjoying the benefits of the activity of the business oftransportation, regulated and enforced by the Department of MotorVehicles, primary jurisdiction.

Once the party of first instance, Department of Motor Vehicles,hears by an application of movant, and upon investigation andhearing, makes a decision on the statutory law and the facts of theaccusation naming the movant, it may then turn to this legislativecourt, and this court may on reviewing and determining/findingrationale basis and substantial evidence, determine if the agencyshowed facts whereby statute applied to movant, at the time of the'police stop', and that the movant was within the subject matterjurisdiction of the agency.

So, first instance, the agency must have had an accusation filedwith it, by its own initiative, some government agency withstanding, or a private party. After an investigation showing cause,hold a hearing where accused notifies intent to defend, and by itsquasi-judicial authority adjudicate the matter.

Page 196: Redbook on Travel

Where the agency granted and issued a certificate of license,(cont)

Page 266

(cont) the agency may condition the terms of the privilege, suspendthe privilege, or revoke the privilege, upon a finding of violationof vehicle code regulation(s).

These events are not a part of this quasi-defendant/movant'smatter, do not show on any record, and the challenge for want ofjurisdiction takes from this forum any power to directly affect thequasi-defendant.

No court of any description, can substitute its generaljurisdiction once the victim has demanded a 'Formal'quasi-judicial hearing of the agency. The prosecuting districtattorney is not entitled to a 'trial' of the matter by a merenotice to appear, without first having accused the victim with theagency, and the agency having ruled on an accusation. (see, Cal. vs Sims, 32 CA3d 468 (1982)

Any 'trial' (sic) to discover facts and determine the law ismandated only to the agency by the legislative enactment CaliforniaStatutes 1959, Chapter 3, Vehicle Code.

This forum/court, as a matter of law, lacks jurisdiction tohear/find/determine as a party of first interest/instance, andthereby take from the Department of Motor Vehicles its power toenforce its own rules and regulations and the statute, without asingle exception.

For those reasons and the law contained within this motion, thecourt/forum must continue this matter and remand it to the agency,as movant has filed a 'Formal Demand' and 'Notice to Defend' withthe Department of Motor Vehicles.

HISTORY OF FACTS OF THE MATTER

On June 22, 1989, a Notice to Appear was written by San BernardinoDeputy Sheriff John Tomasse, No. 556888, citing VC 16028(a), in the

Page 197: Redbook on Travel

name of the defendant. At the time of the quasi-police stop,defendant was not engaged in the activity regulated by theDepartment of Motor Vehicles, business of transportation.

Accordingly, defendant has moved this matter to the Department ofMotor Vehicles for remedy, which only the department may provide bya hearing of defense.

In Austin vs Department of Motor Vehicles the Court of Appeal;held that, "(A) requested Formal Hearing operates to suspend stayof proceedings" Austin vs DMV, No a037357 Superior Court No. 309327; Cal Courtof Appeal, First Appellate District, Division Two

In Gonzalez vs Mun. Court, the Court of Appeal held, "......thatwhen defendant takes a position that a 'no grant of hearing forwant of jurisdiction it is the same as exoneration', and the courtcited People vs Sims 32 Cal 3d468 which held, 'when a defendant has been exonerated' in hearingby agency that the case before it 'Gonzalez' Sims applied,collateral estoppel bars further district attorney action isbarred" 87 Daily Journal, DAR 8930

Thus, this court must continue this matter until DMV investigatesthe matter, hears and makes a determination to enforce or not toenforce for a want of jurisdiction of the defendant.

SUBJECT: DEMAND FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING FOR WAIVER FROMREGISTRATION AND LICENSING OF MOTOR VEHICLE WHERE NO NEED EXISTSPURSUANT TO SECTION 260(a) (b) V.C. BY PETITIONER, AND RULING ON NONEED FOR DRIVER'S LICENSE WHEN NOT ENGAGED IN ACTIVITY ENFORCED BYTHIS DEPARTMENT

Agency should be challenged at its level as that question iswaived unless brought before the agency because the failure toraise the constitutional issue at the administrative levelconstitutes a waiver of the right to bring later in any forum. Reinel vs house, 259 Cal App2d 511; Quality vs Court, 73 CalApp3d 860, 862; Mestinak vs Atwater, 79 Cal App3d 593; Griswold vsSchool District 63 Cal App3d 1034

Petitioner seeks ruling from the Department of Motor Vehiclesby the issuance of a variance/waiver, by the DMV, showing that thepetitioner is not a person of the class named within Vehicle Code1959 required to register and license, and pay fees and taxes onhis private passenger vehicle, not for hire, and has a 'personalstake in the outcome' as the ruling will sharpen the resolution ofthe constitutional question.Baker vs Carr, 369 US 186, 204; see also NAACP vs City of Richmond,743 F2d 1346, 1350;petitioner/demandant has suffered actual harm and will continue,and continue to be threatened with future harm by the putativeillegal conduct of the DMV, and local municipality police agenciesand a ruling will most likely redress, by a favorable decision,present and future harm to the petitioner. Valley Forge vsAmericans United, 454 US 464, 472 Petitioner does not function within the activity regulated andenforced by the DMV. Petitioner does not enjoy any of theprivileges or benefits, which are granted by the 'dept', and merelyuses his automobile (cont)

PAGE 270

(cont) for personal private travel and transportation. Petitioner has registered and licensed a private automobile,a Chevrolet Camaro, yr 1984, 1G1AP87H8EL128690, license # 1KBU654,and has so done under protest evidenced by this petition.

No statutory duty lies to apply for or to possess a driver

Page 199: Redbook on Travel

license, or to register a private passenger vehicle used forpersonal travel and transportation, when person is not within theclass of persons for whose benefit or protection the statute wasenacted Roth vs Quinn, 20 Cal2d 488 So long as one used his property for private purposes and doesnot devote it to public use, the public has no voice in its control Assoc Pipe vs R.R. Comm., 176 Cal 518

Petitioner is concerned that he will be harmed unlawfully, ifhe travels upon the public's highways of the state, without the'unlawful compelled licensing' of his private automobile, orwithout a written waiver issued by the agency in his possessionwhile traveling for personal pleasure and business.

The individual has no liability, to the state, where there isno possession of valid state license nexus, or where possession ofthe same is by necessity. The necessity being to protect life,liberty, and property, and property rights from unlawful taking.The necessity annuls the liability.

A statute which imposes a contractual obligation, relationshipin derogation of the common law, and affects substantial rights,must be construed strictly, and cannot be extended by implicationto include persons who do not come within its terms. Kurtz vs Capital, 67 A2d 470

In Wall vs King, 206 F2d 878 the courts said: It might haveseemed that the state could not have deprived the plaintiff of anyconstitutional right, since it has been adjudicated by the highestcourt of the state that the action was not authorized by state law.

Nowhere within the context or intent of Vehicle Code 1959, isit evidenced that vehicle code is a'positive', 'public', generallaw applying to all travelers, who as motorists, locomote upon thehighways of the state.

The United States Supreme Court in Grosjean vs American Press,1936, 297 US 233, 234, said: In fact it is under the enlargedconnotation of the word 'liberty'.........due process of the 14thamendment as a limitation upon the states. (2) Therefore, it isunimportant whether for one purpose or another, a license tooperate motor vehicles may properly be described as a mere personalprivilege, rather than a property right. We have no doubt that thefreedom to make use of one's own property, here a motor vehicle, as

Page 200: Redbook on Travel

a means of getting about from place to place, (cont)

PAGE 271

(cont) whether in pursuit of business or pleasure, is aliberty, which under the 14th amendment, cannot be denied orcurtailed by state without due process of law.

JUDICIABLE ISSUE LIES WITHIN THE AGENCY Though the law itself be fair on its face and impartial inappearance, yet, it is applied and administered by public authoritywith an evil eye and unequal hand, so as practically to make unjustand illegal discriminations between persons in similarcircumstances, material to their rights, the denial of equaljustice is still within the prohibition of the Constitution,including agency's own regulations. Wotton vs Bush, (1953) 41 Cal2d 460-467

United States Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit held; in Darringvs Kincheloe, 86 Daily Journal DAR 651; A threatened injury may be justiciable, see 'Valley Forge 454US at 472', and a plaintiff is not required to undergo prosecutionas the sole means of seeking relief, where he has alleged anintention to engage in a course of conduct that is arguablyaffected with a constitutional interest, but proscribed by astatute, and there exists a credible threat of prosecutionthereunder 'Doe vs Bolton 410 US 37, 42.

Petitioner believes that uncertainty and peril will beconstantly a threat to his personal life, liberty, and property,privacy, and immunity from prosecution, while he is merelytraveling as a motorist for personal locomotion.

Police officers of a multitude of police agencies of the stateand local municipalities, and agents, employees and officers of theDMV, have orally and in writing informed the petitioner that hisvehicle is of a type required to be registered and licensed, feesand taxes paid by the petitioner, even though it is not for hire ascommercial vehicle in business of transportation, that he will beprosecuted which, is contrary to vehicle code. s260 VC (a) A "commercial vehicle" is a vehicle of a type required tobe registered under this code, used or maintained for thetransportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit ordesigned, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of

Page 201: Redbook on Travel

property. (b) Passenger vehicles which are not used for thetransportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit, andhouse cars are not commercial vehicles. He has been told that if he travels upon the highways of thestate, with said vehicle unregistered and unlicensed, he will becited by some police officer and thereby subject to fines,penalties and assessments, and/or his vehicle will be impounded,even though at the time of the stop he was not engaged in theactivity regulated and enforced by the DMV, which is an agencywithin the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, thebusiness of transportation. PAGE 272

Petitioner states that he is not a person of the class namedwithin the words and intent of the Vehicle Code 1959. That he doesnot use the highways for profit, gain, or compensation. That he,therefore, does not come within the force of the private business,occupational statute, Vehicle code of 1959.

Petitioner must show that he has applied for a ruling on awaiver granted by the DMV, that will protect him from prosecutionfor merely driving for purposes of private travel and privatebusiness.

Petitioner demands a response and hearing or granting of thewaiver, for if he fails to ask it of the agency, he will beprecluded from asserting, as an 'affirmative defense', that theVehicle Code is being unconstitutionally applied to his vehicle andpetitioner, by agents, hearing officers, and police agents whichare clearly excluded, pursuant to s21100(b), of jurisdiction toenforce state statutes, and severely restricted to businesslicensees of the particular municipality of which they areemployees. (b) Licensing and regulating the operation of vehicles forhire and drivers of passenger vehicles for hire.

Petitioner must demand an administrative hearing to show thathe has not voluntarily applied for a license by registration, whichis now evidenced by this written protest.

He asks for a ruling, on the record, even though DMV cannotgrant one as petitioner is not a person within the subject matterjurisdiction of the agency, but must do so as, if he does not, he

Page 202: Redbook on Travel

will not be able to present as affirmative defense, a setting ofthe record of his status being that of one outside the business oftransportation, and to protect his common law constitutional rightsand privileges and immunity from unlawful prosecution under colorof Vehicle Code.

If petitioner fails to petition for an administrative hearing,he will be denied access to the judicial courts.

Petitioner demands a formal hearing be granted by the DMVwithin 30 days of receipt of this demand(VC s16075 (b) for hearing.

No agency can refuse a prior hearing when affectingfundamental rights, on the issue of the statute as 'applied', forsuch an application is a form of 'rule making', and agency have theduty and power to adopt, rescind, or modify its rules to meet therequirements of the law and other exigencies. Reimel vs House, 259 Cal App2d 511, 515

If dept fails to respond and grant the hearing, any judicialcourt hearing will deem that the agency wants jurisdiction of thesubject matter, and of the personam of petitioner, and thereafter,no court may acquire jurisdiction for purposes of 'administrativeregulatory enforcement scheme' when the administrative agencyitself has no jurisdiction (cont)

PAGE 273

(cont), and the people have no interest and have suffered no harm,where there is no government interest.

On the issue of a Driver's License, petitioner will argue thathe does not use an automobile or truck as a Driver, and thus, hasno need for a Driver's License when he receives no compensation,and will not receive any compensation for so doing.

That indeed, he uses an automobile/truck only for privatebusiness and pleasure, and transportation and as a mode oftravel/conveyance, and so does not come within the jurisdiction ofthis Department.

"Practicing a profession, or otherwise engaging in aregulated activity, without a license, is an offense if a statuteso provides, whether or not the offender received or expectedcompensation, unless the statute specifies the receipt or

Page 203: Redbook on Travel

expectation of compensation as an element of the offense, in whichcase there is no offense, if that condition is not fulfilled" People vs Vermillion (1916) 30 CalApp 417, 418

"No statutory duty lies to apply for, or to possess a Driver'sLicense, or to register a private passenger automobile used forpersonal travel and transportation, as defendant is not within theclass of persons for whose benefit or protection the statute wasenacted" Routh vs Quinn 20 Cal2d 488

"In Matter of Charles Stork; Classification of Drivers ofMotor Vehicles; Not unconstitutional in that it requires chauffeursor drivers of motor vehicles for hire, to pay an annual licensetax, but exempts all other operators of such vehicles from such taxand regulation" 167 Cal 295 (1914) CONCLUSION "It is basic in our law, that an administrative agency(department therein) may only act within the area of 'jurisdiction'marked out for it within the law. If an individual does not comewithin the coverage of the particular agency's enablinglegislation, the agency is without power to take any action whicheffects him" Endicott vs Perkins 317 US 501 (1943)

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF MOTION

BY AGENCY'S FAILURE TO GRANT HEARING ON DEMAND, ALL ACTION ONMATTER IS COLLATERALLY ESTOPPED FROM PROSECUTION BY THE PEOPLE

When agency stands silent by failure to respond or to grant ahearing, Doctrine of Collateral Estoppel forbids districtattorney/city attorney/county counsel/attorney general from filinga complaint with a court, sitting to hear a civil action, or courtsitting judicially for any criminal action.

The failure of the agency to grant a hearing bars civil liabilityor criminal prosecution for actus reas later under the Doctrine ofCollateral Estoppel as Administrative Law demands for hearing arethe administrative equivalent of judicial Declaratory Judgment, and

Page 204: Redbook on Travel

all Natural law requirements and indicia that apply to JudicialDeclaratory Judgment also apply to Administrative Judgments"Babcock vs Babcock, 63 CA2d 94;Maxwell vs Maxwell, 66 CA2d 549

PAGE 275

Where an administrative agency has quasi-judicial power to hear andrule to a final determination on matters within its jurisdictionand does so, then: "The conclusiveness of judgment is a prioraction where subsequent action is upon different cause of action isbarred by doctrine of collateral estoppel"Babcock vs Babcock, supra

Where an administrative agency has no jurisdiction of matter orissue outside its delegated authority, it stands silent on thedemand for hearing, or refuses to grant one because of that want ofjurisdiction, the matter is barred by Collateral Estoppel Doctrinefrom a subsequent action on the same matter or issue. A recent case, Gonzalez vs Municipal Ct, 87 Daily Journal DAR,8930, the Court of Appeal, and here defendant takes the positionthat a 'no grant of hearing for want of jurisdiction is the same asan exoneration',the court cited Peo vs Sims, 32 Cal3d 468 (1982), which had ruledthat Doctrine of Collateral Estoppel bars a criminal prosecution byDistrict Attorney when defendant has been 'exonerated' byadministrative hearing by the agency; and in the case before it,

'Gonzalez', held that 'Sims' applied also in 'Gonzalez',ruling that 'Sims' decision compelled ruling collateral estoppelbarred district attorney action. "In this case we address a facet of the collateral (cont)

PAGE 276

(cont) estoppel effect of administrative proceedings in subsequentcriminal prosecutions. The issue before us is whether a ruling ina driver's favor, in administrative proceeding of the DMV, shouldbe accorded collateral estoppel in subsequent criminalprosecution........We conclude under controlling authority,People vs Sims (1982) 32 Cal3d 248, The answer is yes"

"Held, administrative orders or determinations are unassailable

In the case of Vary vs DMV, Superior Court No. N31940, Court ofAppeals, 4th App District, Division One, cited in 88 Daily Journal,DAR 7519, the appellate court cited Rohrabaser vs Lederer (1986)179 CA3d 290, 297, which said: "A judgment in a previous actionbetween the same parties, or those privity with them, operates ina later action as conclusive adjudication as to the issues actuallyand necessarily decided in a first action."

"In order for the doctrine of collateral estoppel to apply, thisissue in the second action must be identical to the issueadjudicated in the first action"

Inn re Marriage of Modnick (1983) 33 Cal3d 879, 904: Defendant hasexhausted administrative action and remedy which may have beenavailable to him, and so if district attorney wishes, he may takethe DMV to an appellate court for a review of the record set by theDMV.

If the court denies this motion for dismissal and permits thedistrict attorney, without jurisdiction, to prosecute defendant,court will place the defendant into a position of 'double jeopardy'in permitting district attorney to petition the court for a trialon the same issue adjudicated by the agency with primaryjurisdiction.California Constitution, Article 1, s13.

Double Jeopardy:No person shall be twice put into jeopardy for the same offense.

Caveat: The district attorney has failed to pursue the issue withthe party with the primary jurisdiction, so is attempting to usurpthe power of the agency, which is a NO NO!!

"Where a government agency, or local municipality believes that anindividual is a person within the demands of a statute, of which ithas authority to enforce, or standing to initiate an action namingthe individual, there must be a demand for administrativeenforcement.

[Petitioners were California tax payers who sought to prohibit theuse of sobriety check points. As tax payers, not asmotorists/drivers, the use of sobriety check points would notinvade an interest, did not allege status, which would be businesslicensees engaged in business regulated by DMV, and its VehicleCode, nor do they show a status which subjects them to CHPauthority under VC s2400, powers and duties. Nor did they arguethat there is no crime (mala in se) prohibiting motorists fromdrinking intoxicating beverages, and driving (verb) their privateautomobile/truck, thus, no standing that they could/would beharmed by the use of 'sobriety check points', by police/peaceofficers whose power does not/cannot invade rights of privatecitizens absent a crime (mal in se)]

In its opinion, Court said, "However, the sobriety check point herewas operated, not for the primary purpose of discovering orpreserving evidence of crime or arresting law breakers, butprimarily for the 'regulatory' purpose of keeping intoxicateddrivers (were they using verb or noun?) off the highways to the endof enhancing public safety"

[Remember, enhancing public safety is a function of the policepower only when an actual commission of a substantive crime underPenal Code has been committed and someone has been injured, whichdoes not include violations of Vehicle Code mala prohibita.Obviously, the state has not been a victim of a mala prohibitaviolation without a mala in se a part of the prohibita]

PC 849.5 Arrest without filing of accusatory pleading, record,arrest deemed detention

In any case in which a person is arrested and released, and noaccusatory pleading is filed charging him with an offense, anyrecord of arrest of the person shall include a record of release.Thereafter, the arrest shall not be deemed arrest, but a detentiononly. [This procedure mandated under VC s40513(a), and untilcomported/complied with under PC s948 et seq (rules of pleading)then a civil, extra-judicial notice to appear does not constitutea charge under s952]

s952 Statement of Offense In charging an offense, each count shallcontain, and shall be sufficient if it contains in substance, astatement that the accused has committed some public offensetherein specified. Such statement may be made in ordinary andconcise language without technical averments, or any allegations ofmatter not essential to be proved. It may be in the words of (cont)

(cont) the enactment describing the offense, or declaring thematter to be a public offense, or in any words sufficient to givethe accused notice of the offense of which he is accused.[Read a notice to appear carefully. Does any of it on its faceconform to s952? If not, then it is null and void, without force oflaw, either criminally or civilly]

[If none of the above is obeyed, and a person/individual istaken/appears for an arraignment or trial, then that person hasbeen falsely arrested and falsely imprisoned, and grounds for civilsuit will lie]

[If any trial to prosecute is based upon 'implied consent', unders23157 for chemical tests, then two steps are required by theperson to be prosecuted; a demand that a true, certified copy ofthe written waiver, made voluntarily and knowledgeably, be producedat the trial; or the person to be prosecuted, under that section,introduce at the trial the evidence that he has attempted to havethe DMV allow the accused to inspect its public records andrefused, or no finding of a waiver, or under Information PracticesAct of 1977, the Office of Information Practices has refused toassist in identifying records, or no record identified as a waiverfound] [Partial sections of these processes are part of this (cont)

(c), the court shall, prior to thetrial of any pending criminal action against the defendant,wherein, the separate conviction is charged as such, hold ahearing, outside of the presence of the jury, in order to determinethe constitutional validity of the charged separate convictionissue. At the hearing the procedure, the burden of proof, and theburden of producing evidence shall be as follows:

(1) The burden of proof remains with the prosecution throughout,and is that of a reasonable doubt.

(2) The prosecution shall initially have the burden of producingevidence of the separate conviction sufficient to justify a findingthat the defendant has suffered that separate conviction.

(3) After the production of evidence required by paragraph (2), thedefendant has the burden of producing evidence that the defendant'sconstitutional rights were infringed in the separate proceeding atissue. If the separate conviction sought to be invalidated is upona plea of guilty or nolo contendere, the defendant shall providethe court with the evidence of the prior plea, including the courtdocket, written waiver of constitutional rights executed by thedefendant, and the transcripts of the relevant court proceedings atthe time of the entry of the defendant's plea.

(4) If the defendant bears this burden successfully, theprosecution shall have the right to produce evidence in rebuttal.

(5) The court shall make a finding on the basis of the evidence,thus produced, and shall strike from the accusatory pleading anyseparate conviction found to be unconstitutionally invalid. (c) If the defendant fails to comply with the noticerequirement of Subd. (a), or fails to produce the evidence required by paragraph (3) of Subd. (b), the court shall hear themotion at the time of sentencing in lieu of continuing the trial,unless good cause is shown for failure to provide notice pursuantto subs (3), or produce the evidence required paragraph (3) of subd(b), in which case the court will grant a continuance of the trialfor a reasonable period. The procedure, burden of proof, and burdenof producing evidence as provided in subd. (b), shall applyregardless of when the motion is heard.

[Author has sat in too many courts as a spectator, where a jury washearing a charge (sic) of DUI, and no complaint was part of therecord, and the defendant did not have the required copy of thecomplaint, or any evidence that a warrant of arrest had issued inthe defendant's name]

VOL 1 CHAPTER 15 - 30PAGE 315

[So, if on a prior conviction no complaint/warrant is part of therecord, including a signed waiver of legal rights was placed on therecord, and waiver evidenced, regardless of any evidence otherwiseproduced at the trial, the court and the prosecutor were withoutsubject matter/personam jurisdiction, and defendant was deprived ofdue process of the law demanded in all prosecutions, mala in se andmala prohibita, and in civil actions]

[If it is a first time trial DUI, or any charge (sic) under VehicleCode by a civil extra-judicial notice, you must challenge theprosecutor, and the court, for their want of subjectmatter/personam jurisdiction, and never abandon the challenge untilthe court proves its jurisdiction]

In re: San Bernardino county Sheriff's Extra-Judicial CivilNotice to Appear citing VC s4000 (a)

Vehicle Code mandates the filing of a verified complaint, andissue of a warrant of arrest be filed with this court, and servedon defendant, Arthur Frank Sanford, or court is without subjectmatter and personam jurisdiction. Without the filing of saidpapers, making the notice definite, and certain both this court,and defendant, in error, lack information upon which (cont)

PAGE 371

(cont) this matter can properly proceed forward for adjudicationaccording to due process of the law. This notice of demand is based on the following case law,which is stare decisis binding on this court.

DEMANDS TO MAKE THIS NOTICE MORE DEFINITE, AND CERTAIN ARE SPECIALAPPEARANCES AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS GENERAL APPEARANCES BYTHE QUASI-DEFENDANT

Defendant is at a loss for sufficient information fromplaintiff's notice upon which to base a defense, and properly makesthis motion before the court for a more definite and certainstatement, and raises objections to the notice on points of law(Kauffroath vs Wilbure 185 P2d 522)

A motion to make a notice more definite and certain is 'not apleading', and does not constitute a 'general appearance'; theobject of this motion to require the pleading to be made moredefinite and certain, is to enable the movant to demur or answer,or reply more intelligently, and the respondent does not waivehis right to notice the court, and the district attorney of their'want' of jurisdiction by moving to make notice more definite andcertain, when the nature of the charge or defense is uncertain

(Lawrence vs Lawrence 62SE 8; Smith vs Smith 50 SC 54; 27 SE 545; 31 SE 660)

NOTICES TO APPEAR ARE EXTRA-JUDICIAL CIVIL NOTICES AS THEY DO NOTBEAR THE SEAL OR SIGNATURE OF ISSUING COURT, AND CANNOT BECONSTRUED AS GENERAL APPEARANCES BY THE QUASI-DEFENDANT

A motion to make a notice more definite and certain is not a'general appearance' under civil practice, provided motion shall beby service of the Motion to Make the Notice More Definite andCertain and Raising Objection on Points of Law, as motions tocorrect or reform a pleading are not regarded as constituting a'general appearance' (199 NYS 519, 520; 172 NYS 273)

ALL NOTICES TO APPEAR ARE SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS, CIVIL IN NATURE,ALTHOUGH ADMINISTERED BY A QUASI-CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

The fact that the proceedings is brought in the name of thepeople, or of the state, will not prevent it from being regarded ascivil in nature (People vs Briggs 20 NE 820; 114 NY 56), nor is thefact that the proceeding may be commenced by warrant of arrest ofthe respondent, itself (cont)

PAGE 372

(cont) sufficient to change the character of the proceeding fromcivil to criminal (Alton vs Kirsh 68 Ill 261; 25 CJ p 1183 note 60)

EXTRA-JUDICIAL CIVIL NOTICES TO APPEAR, AND VERIFIED COMPLAINTSMUST CLEARLY ESTABLISH THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF AN ACTION

In US vs Cook, 17 Wallace 174, the court said that, "everyingredient of which an offense is composed must be accurately andclearly alleged. It is an elementary principle of pleading thatwhere the definition of an offense, whether it be at common law orstatute, includes generic terms, it is not sufficient that thepleading shall charge the offense in the same generic terms as inthe definition; but it must state the species, it must descend tothe particulars" 1 Arch Cr Pr and Pl 291. "The objective is,first, to furnish the accused with such description of the chargeagainst him, as will enable him to make his defense, and availhimself of his conviction or acquittal for protection against afurther prosecution for the same cause; second, to inform thecourt of the facts alleged, so that it may decide whether they aresufficient in law to support a conviction, if one should be had.

Page 239: Redbook on Travel

For this, facts are to be stated, not conclusions of law alone. Anoffense is made of acts and intent; and these must be set forthwith particularity of time, place and circumstances"

MATTERS OF ENFORCEMENT OF VEHICLE CODE ARE, IN NATURE, MALAPROHIBITA, AND NOT MALA IN SE VIOLATIONS

"Offenses created by statute, as well as offenses at commonlaw, must be accurately and clearly described, and, if the offensecannot be described without expanding the allegations beyond merewords of the statute, then it is clear that the allegations must beexpanded to that extent, as it is universally true that no chargeis sufficient, which does not accurately and clearly allege all theingredients of which the offense is composed, so as to bring theaccused within the true intent and meaning of the statute definingthe offense. Every offense consists of certain acts done or omittedunder certain circumstances; and, in the charge for the offense, itis not sufficient to charge the accused generally with havingcommitted the offense, but all the circumstances constituting mustbe specifically set forth" Arch. Cr. Pl. 15th Ed 43

EXTRA-JUDICIAL CIVIL NOTICE TO APPEAR ISSUED TO DEFENDANT, INERROR, DOES NOT SHOW A DETERMINATION BY ISSUING OFFICER THATDEFENDANT, IN ERROR, WAS A PERSON/MAN ENGAGED IN ANY ACTIVITY WHICHIS REGULATED AND ENFORCED AS TO THE DEFENDANT(cont)

PAGE 373

(cont) WITHIN JURISDICTION OF DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES

Practicing a profession, or otherwise engaging in a regulatedactivity, without a license is an offense, if the statute soprovides, whether or not the offender received or expectedcompensation, unless the statute specifies the receipt orexpectation of compensation as an element of the offense, in whichcase there is no offense if that condition is not fulfilled. Peoplevs Vermillion (1916) 30 Cal App 416, 417

NOTICE OF POINTS OF LAW AND PROCEDURE AND FACTS OF THE MATTER WHICHNEED TO BE MADE MORE DEFINITE AND CERTAIN AS TO THE QUASI-DEFENDANT

Extra-judicial civil notice to appear issued by the arrestingquasi-peace officer, and upon which district attorney alleges heappears for the people is vague and meritless.

Page 240: Redbook on Travel

Thus, a need exists, is the notice to appear standing alonewithout a mandated verified complaint filed by the districtattorney with the magistrate, sufficient at law to give this courtsubject matter jurisdiction? Notice upon which District Attorney is proceeding is unclear,vague and indefinite on points of statutory law, and fails tofollow due process of administrative law.

Notice fails as complaint as;

1. Cites the vehicle code, but fails to establish the status of the movant as a person within the statute.. 2. Notice does not allege breaches of the vehicle code by the movant, merely cites sections of code. 3. Notice does not allege fact(s) as to movant. 4. Notice fails to evidence that quasi-defendant movant has any binding duty to Vehicle Code 5. Notice fails to evidence that movant named on the caption of the notice is of the class regulated by VC. 6. Notice fails to name the movant within any body of the notice as a person in violation of the code.

(cont)

PAGE 374

7. Notice fails to evidence corpus delicti 8. Notice fails to show prima facie case. 9. Notice fails to evidence intent to violate code 10. Notice fails to give district attorney, or the court personam jurisdiction, when the matter is civil administrative law, and not a mala in se violation. 11. Notice failed to inform movant that the nature of the notice was a matter of 'ministerial action', in an administrative action to be heard by a 'ministerial official'.

Accordingly, movant motions that District Attorney make thenotice more certain and definite as a pleading, and on points ofstatute with force of law on the movant, and show his standing andstatus to appear, and show the statutory law which permits him toappear on a mere vague notice, which as a matter of administrativelaw must proceed first instance with the exclusive jurisdictionagency DMV, if movant is within its class, so that movant may, asmust the people, move, first instance, to the administrativehearing agency, if the agency has jurisdiction as to the movant.

MERE APPLICATION FOR AND POSSESSION OF LICENSE FROM PARTICULARLICENSING AGENCY IS NOT 'IP SO FACTO' BINDING VALID CONTRACT,LICENSE, AND NEXUS WITH THE STATE BY ITS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY

The effect of a contract and a license is the evidence of the

contract, because licenses are unilateral, one has voluntarilyassigned power of attorney to the licensing agency. But power ofattorney and voluntary contract, with the license being theevidence of the contract, can be terminated when the party has notbeen enriched, enjoyed benefits, and considerations from thecontract.

"License is a 'unilateral contract', in which a promise isgiven in exchange for an act of forbearance"Black's law Dict 4th Ed

"Unilateral is an expression of absence of mutuality.Unilateral contracts are void where no mutuality of obligationexists, and only one party is bound" Hirsch vs Paragould, 127 SW623

"Unilateral contracts are merely promises to do something inthe future, provided the promisee performs some specified act, noenforceable obligation will be imposed upon the promisor unless thespecified act is performed, but if performed, contract matures andthe original promise is capable of enforcement"

ALL MATTERS OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW PROCEEDINGS LIE OUTSIDE JUDICIAL

JURISDICTION, ARE MERELY QUASI-JUDICIAL, ARE IN FACT MINISTERIAL INNATURE

Thus, where the court sits as 'ministerial officer' for the DMV,and the matter has not been, in fact, brought before it by truecriminal due process of

PAGE 378

(cont) law, mala in se violations, the court is sitting in capacityof 'ministerial officer', who is bound by the procedures underAdministrative Law. Such an 'official' is without discretionarypower, and so is bound by the administrative rules, and shouldtransfer the matter for a true administrative hearing before theDMV.

"Ministerial duty is one, regarding which, no thing is left todiscretion - a simple and definite duty, imposed by law, andarising under conditions admitted or proved to exist" Mott vs Hull152 P 92

CONCLUSION

By the above points and authorities, it is an obviousconclusion that neither the district attorney, nor this court tohear for the DMV, has not, nor cannot, have jurisdiction of theperson of the movant.

Accordingly, the DMV delegated court should sua sponde,dismiss this matter, in the interest of justice or in alternative,if movant was, in fact, a practicing licensee at the time of the'traffic stop' order the district attorney to move to the DMV fortheir determination

Page 245: Redbook on Travel

PAGE 379

Should this court refuse to obey its mandated ministerialduty, and dismiss for want of proof of jurisdiction, movant noticesthis court that the movant has been denied the protection of thelaw of this State's Constitution, and of the Constitution of theUnited States and ground for a civil action in the district courtsof the United States.

A motion to this court-for dismissal of proceedings withinexclusive jurisdiction of administrative agency is made a part ofthis Demand to Make the Notice more Definite and Certain.

If this court does not sua sponde dismiss, or order thetransfer, then the movant will file a Petition for Writ ofProhibition to prevent this court from assuming or acting in excessof its general jurisdiction, which is solely vested in the DMV,which is within the Business, Transportation & Housing Agency.

"To create 'estoppel by laches', party sought to be estoppedmust, with knowledge of transaction, have done something to misleadother party to his prejudice"Wisdom vs Sims 144 SW 232, 235, 236

[Plaintiff and issuing officer, at all times have misledquasi-defendant to believe that they have jurisdictionof him, yet have failed to timely file a demanded verifiedcomplaint pursuant to 41513 (a) VC, Pen C s9948 et seq]

Page 246: Redbook on Travel

[The guilt of laches, by the prosecutor, is evidenced by thefailure of the docket/record of the case to show a filing of anaccusation by a verified complaint, and issue of summons/warrantnaming quasi-defendant]

EQUITY: In its broadest and most general signification, this termdenotes the spirit and the habit of fairness, justness, and rightdealing which would regulate the intercourse of men with men, - the

VOL 1 CHAPTER 16 - 3PAGE 384

(cont) we desire them to do to us; as it is expressed byJustinian, "to live honestly, to harm nobody, to renderto every man his due" It is therefore the synonym of natural rightor justice.

[Question of violations mala prohibita, are civil causes underCivil Vehicle Code, are not brought into a court at-law or commonlaw jurisdiction. The rights of a class of person named within thestatute, or a person not named within the statute, as in instantcase, even though certain violations may permit penal penalties andare quasi-criminal procedure, they remain civil codes. Thus, thereis the expectation of equity jurisdiction principles]

EQUITY JURISDICTION: In its ordinary acceptation, as distinguishedon the one side from the general power to decide matters at all,and on the other from jurisdiction 'at-law' or 'common law', is thepower to hear certain kinds and classes of civil causes accordingto the principles of the method and procedure adopted by the courtof chancery, which decisions may involve either the determinationof the equitable rights and interest of the parties to bemaintained, or the violation of which furnishes the cause ofaction, must be equitable rather than legal.

LAW: That which must be obeyed and followed by citizens, subject tosanctions or legal consequences,is a law.

VOL 1 CHAPTER 16 - 4PAGE 385

[So, the bottom line here is, Statutes which are private in nature,and only apply to a defined/named certain class ofpersons/individuals, while engaged in some activity for which theyhave applied for a voluntary license, if they are to be prosecutedunder quasi-criminal procedure, must be proceeded by the filing ofa verified complaint, etc., and when it is not done, then the guiltof laches estops any proceeding against an individual/person by thePeople at the time of an appearance before a magistrate sittingunder administrative law]

[So, person perpetrating the fraud loses if he argues he did notknow his act was fraudulent] [At all times during course of thismatter, plaintiff, the PEOPLE, and the court sitting administerial,have misled the quasi-defendant by stating or acting as though theydo have jurisdiction complete, and yet, the

THIS CHAPTER DEALS WITH THE FACT THAT ALTHOUGH MALA PROHIBITAVIOLATIONS ARE CIVIL CODE VIOLATIONS, ARE IN FACT HEARD BY SPECIALPROCEEDINGS IN CIVIL CODE, THE ALLEGED VIOLATOR IS INFORMED THATTHEY ARE TRIED AS CRIMINAL ACTIONS, AS THOUGH MALA IN SE.

[The man on the bench, a magistrate when hearing vehicle codeissues, presents himself to the person with the notice to appear asa judge, a judicial officer. Doesn't the nameplate on his benchread 'JUDGE'?]

[So, lets take advantage of the deception perpetrated by the court.It is now known to the reader of this book that all matter ofNotices to Appear are, in fact, quasi-criminal proceedings, (thatwhich seems to be, but which is not) so let's set the record forthat time when the magistrate answers your question at anappearance for arraignment]

[Question: Your Honor, I have a need to know if this notice toappear is a complaint, and will be heard and prosecuted by acriminal proceeding so that I can understand if I should hire alawyer before I enter a plea on the Notice to Appear]

[What the author wants you to do is 'set up' the man on the bench,and the court, to have him inform you that it is a criminal actionand yes, he is a Judge]

[Now, when you have been through the 'money collection mill', a lacafeteria style; enter here, pay the cashier and get out of here,you are holding up the line, (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 17 - 2 PAGE 388

(cont) which the court calls a 'trial', and the man says "I findyou guilty and the fine is $XXXXX." "Can you pay the fine now ordo you need time to pay? The magic words are "Can you pay"]

Page 250: Redbook on Travel

[Now, having read this book, and being a natural born rebel whoresents being lied to, and certain persons under color of lawreaching into you money pocket upsets you, you answer "NO! I cannotpay the fine"

"I am filing a Motion with the County Clerk for a hearing on why Icannot pay the fine"]

[Write and let the author know how you made out. The author usedthis tactic and was successful, and several people that he hascounseled have been successful. The result was that the man on thebench suspended the fine. So, if you are staring at a large, largefine, hundreds of dollars, it is certainly worth a try. And youstill have the option of an appeal on the grounds of nojurisdiction.]

ADDENDUM[Remember, the state court is informing that Federal Reserve Notesof Obligation are money for purposes of paying a fine and itsassessment, and is a dollar but it is not a dollar, nor does itrepresent a note entitling the holder to exchange it for a dollar][Now, set him up again. Ask him if a Federal Reserve Note is adollar or dollars as the case may be]

"The Constitution was 'designed to provide the same currency,having a uniform value in all the States'. It was for that reasonthat the power to regulate the value of (cont)

(cont) money was conferred upon the Federal Government, while thesame power, as well as the power to 'emit bills of credit', waswithdrawn from the States.

[Now, read how Federal Reserve Notes of Debt can be made legaltender by Congress, and the use of FRN's legal tender for partieswith a relationship with the Federal Government; i.e., fed governemployee, recipient of federal largesse, elected federal officeholders, or those who choose to use FRS's either knowinglyor unknowingly. Those persons can be required to use FRN's who havea nexus/benefit from the Federal Government, but the state andindividuals cannot be compelled to use FRN's]

Congress provided in 31 USCA s463 in part, that; "Every provisioncontained in, or made with, respect to any obligation whichpurports to give the obligee a right to require 'payment' in goldor a particular kind of coin or currency, or in an amount in moneyof the 'United States' measured thereby, is declared to be againstpublic policy; and no (cont)

(cont) such provision shall be contained in or made with respectto any obligation hereinafter incurred.Every obligation heretofore, or hereinafter incurred, whether ornot any such provision is contained therein, or made with respecthereto, shall be discharged upon payment, dollar for dollar, in anycoin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender forpublic and private debts"

[Note that it states 'discharge', and the statement of private asagainst public debt. The federal debt of Congress may be requiredfor payment in discharge of its debt; the payment in discharge forprivate debt cannot be compelled between private parties or theStates]

"The courts have consistently held that the Constitution leaves thepower to declare what shall be legal tender for payment of alldebts to congress. The mere utilization of a standard of legaltender prescribed by Congress is not a state action as prohibitedby US Const Art 1 s10, but rather an effectuation of validlyexercised constitutional power of Congress under US Const Art 1 s8"Chermack vs Bjornson 223 NW2d 659

[United States by Congress sitting in Washington DC can do so, butthe States are forbidden, and cannot demand/require FRN's inpayment of debts/fines/assessments to merely discharge those

obligations]

IF THE MATTER BEFORE THE COURT ON THE ABOVE DATE WAS A CRIMINALPROSECUTION, AND TRIAL WITH THE JUDGE OF THIS COURT CONDUCTING THETRIAL THEN THIS MOVANT AND DEFENDANT HAS IMMUNITY FROM THESENTENCEIMPOSED ON THE DATE ABOVE BY THIS JUDGE. A JUDGE CANNOT ACT WITHJUDICIAL POWER IF HIS COMPENSATION IS DIMINISHED; THE PAYING OFSTATE OR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Any judge over whom the Internal Revenue Department has powerby way of income tax is incapable of receiving or exercising any'judicial' power as it is in violation of Article III of the UnitedStates Constitution with limits on the judicial powers wherejudge's compensation shall not be diminished by Congress.US vs Woodley, 774 F2d 1175, (Dist Ct., Hawaii)Citing: Evans vs Gore, 253 US 245;

This statecourt, as all agencies/branches of the State government, CaliforniaRepublic, is bound by Art 1, sec 10. As the State Legislature hasnot declared gold and silver coin issued by California is the legaltender in payment of debt (s) movant has no ability to pay the fine(debt) and assessment (tax) ordered on (date).

III

STATE LEGISLATURE HAS NEVER DECLARED THE MONEY OF ACCOUNT OFCALIFORNIA FOR 'INLAND', 'INTRA-STATE' PURPOSES, USE OF FEDERALRESERVE NOTES MAY NOT BE USED BY THE MOVANT OR THIS COURT OR ANYOFFICER OF THIS COURT FOR THE PAYMENT OF DEBT WITHIN CALIFORNIA.COURTS HAVE NO JURISDICTION WITHOUT MONEY OF ACCOUNT.

State never having declared what shall be legal tender for thebusiness of the state, 'inland, intra-state', it cannot use federalnotes of obligation as the Constitution denies that right to theseveral states of the Union.

IV

MOVANT STATES THAT HIS INABILITY TO COMPLY WITH ANY JUDGMENT ANDORDER TO PAY A FINE AND ASSESSMENT IS A DEFENSE TO A CHARGE OFCONTEMPT, EITHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, BY THIS COURT, WHEN MOVANT ISWITHOUT THE ABILITY TO PAY A FINE AND ASSESSMENT

Page 256: Redbook on Travel

Fines, penalties and assessments on judgments are debts &taxes. The issue raised by the movant is that this court recognizesand honor the constitutional immunity of the movant from an orderof contempt, when he cannot pay, at law, a fine and assessmentordered by this court, that under that doctrine of immunity thiscourt cannot imprison him because California has no 'money ofaccount', gold or silver coin.

This court must take Judicial Notice of the following: (cont)

PAGE 396

California Government Code s6850: "The money of account of this State is the DOLLAR, and allproceedings in courts shall be kept and had in conformity with thissection"

In tandem with above:

Title 31 US Code s371 "The money of account of the United States shall be expressedin dollars or units, dimes or tenths, cents or hundredth part of adollar; and all proceedings in the courts shall be kept and had inconformity to this regulation"

A judicial determination is absolutely necessary to movant'sability to pay at law, as opposed to discharge in equity, any fine,penalty or assessment of this court.

Court is further demanded to take judicial notice that theCoinage Act of 1792 which declared gold and silver coin to be themoney of account of the several states and the United States hasnever been amended, rescinded nor abrogated and so is binding onthis state and this court.

Movant calls to the court to take Judicial Notice and rule onthe notice by citing the authority for its ruling as to FederalReserve Notes being notes of obligation and not redeemable inlawful coin, money of account, how he can obtain any lawful coin(dollar) based on the following:

Title 31 USC 408 prohibits the redemption of any currency intogold and Title 31 USC s405(a)-3 prohibits the redemption of anyUnited States currency dollar for dollar into (cont)

Page 257: Redbook on Travel

PAGE 397

(cont) gold and silver. so the law itself prohibits movant fromusing any money of account. As checks are not money in themselvesbut merely simple order forms instructing the bank to movetransaction balances, which are MONEY, but banks do not havecash/money of account which may be transferred. For a check tobe negotiable instrument it must contain an unconditional promiseto pay a sum certain in money and be payable on demand or at adefinite time (UCC 3-103 (b) (c). Thus, neither the bank nor themovant is able to comply with the law of money and cannot be heldas a contemner.

31 ALR 649, supplementing 21 ALR 1256: "The rule laid down in the earlier annotation on thisquestion, that the part, to render obedience to an order or decreeof court, is a good defense to a charge of contempt for thedisobedience of the order or decree, is supported also, by thefollowing decisions"

California; Ex parte Overend (1898) 122 Cal 201; Bakeman vs Sup Ct (1918) 37 CalApp 785; Myers vs Sup Ct (1920) 46 CalApp 206; Ex parte Von Gerzabeck (1923) 219 Pac 479

"In Meyers vs Sup Ct, supra, it was held that the court had nopower to punish one in contempt for failure to comply with ajudgment for payment of money, since it was evidenced that it wasphysically impossible for him to comply (cont)

PAGE 398

(cont) with the court's order. The court statutory provisions inthat state that, when contempt consists in the omission to performan act 'which is yet in the power of the person to perform' he maybe imprisoned until he shall have performed it, and that thedisobedience of any lawful judgment, order, or process of the courtconstitutes contempt, and said that under the provisions of thestatute it must appear from the warrant of commitment (1) that thething ordered to be done is within the power of the person soordered to perform, and (2) that such person, although he has itwithin his power to do so, has disobeyed the court's lawfulorder. An order adjudging one guilty of contempt for failure toperform an act directed by the court to be performed is void, as a

Page 258: Redbook on Travel

basis for the imposition of imprisonment, unless it appeartherefrom that it is within the power of such person to perform theact" Baker vs Sup Ct, supra

Although the following cases cited pertain to an order to payalimony, the principles of the law and procedure and constitutionalimmunities apply to any threat of warrant for contempt charge bythis court.

In Newsome vs Newsome (1923) 117 SE 90, that State SupremeCourt held, "that the trial court had erroneously adjudged thehusband to be in contempt for failure to comply with an order topay alimony, where his sworn answer, which was undenied, and theuncontroverted evidence introduced by him showed his inability tocomply (cont)

PAGE 399

(cont) with the order. That inability on the part of the husbandwhich is not due to his own fault, to conform, or perform with thejudgment, constitutes a complete defense to a charge of contempt,it is the rule laid down, also, in Armijo vs Armijo (1923) 217 Pac623

"Requiring a convicted indigent defendant upon being sentencedor otherwise ordered to pay a fine and penalty assessment to servethem out in jail at a specified rate per day because he is unableto pay the constitutes an invidious discrimination on basis ofwealth in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment"

conducts business of the court. "Acts of Congress making notes of the United States a legaltender do not apply to involuntary contributions in the nature oftaxes, fines, assessments, debts exacted under State Laws"Hagar vs Land Reclamation 111 US 701PAGE 400

And, as lawful money is not available to the movant from anygovernment association, corporation, functioning as banks, whichare prohibited from putting into circulation any Thing but gold andsilver Coin if a State Bank or if a National Bank and United StatesNotes and Federal Reserve Notes of Obligation of the Congress ofthe United States are not exchangeable for gold or silver Coin.

California Constitution Article 12, s5 Issuing Money No corporation, association, or individual shall issue or putinto circulation, as money, anything but lawful money of the UnitedStates. Corporations or associations may be formed for suchpurposes (to act as though banks) under general laws,......... "..........to prohibit any person, association, or corporationfrom 'exercising the privilege of banking or creating paper tocirculate money' referred merely to the issuance of bank bills orpaper to circulate as money"Bank of Martinez vs Hemme etc (1895) 105 Cal 376

As the state cannot issue bills of debt or paper to circulateas money neither can any private corporation, association orindividual issue or use Anything but gold and silver coin. Movant, now a debtor to California by a judgment and order ofthis court, is without the ability to pay his debt to this court.

PAGE 401

Movant only has access to and must use Federal Reserve Notes,which are merely debt instruments, evidence of debts of theCongress, has not been able to redeem such notes issued by theFederal Reserve Bank and as the United States Treasury wasabolished in 1921 by the Act of 1920, 66th Congress Session II Ch214 amending Section 3595 this movant cannot turn to the newlycreated Department of Treasury, a private corporation dealing onlyin commercial paper which is not redeemable for lawful money mintedcoin of gold and silver.

REDEEMABLE: "Subject to an obligation of redemption; embodying, orconditioned upon, a promise or obligation of redemption;controvertible to coin, as, a redeemable currency"US vs North Carolina 136 US 211, 34 L ed 336

Based on the above authority/case law, movant attempted toredeem Federal Reserve Notes at the Los Angeles Branch of theFederal Reserve Bank. He was informed that no 'authorized' federalreserve notes have been issued for more than 20 years, and that thebank could not redeem notes for gold or silver Coin as thebank did not have gold or silver Coin.

CONCLUSION: As federal reserve notes are not legal tender for the'payment' of fines, which are debts, or assessments, which aretaxes, (see HAGAR supra p 8) and California cannot obligate themovant to use notes of obligation (debt due) (cont)

PAGE 402

(cont) involuntarily (see HAGAR) the movant is without the/has noability to 'pay' the judgment as Federal Reserve Notes are not'dollars' as 'dollars' are coined 'dollars' of the United States. (see Bank of New York vs Bd of Supervisors etc 74 US 60 (1869);Bronson vs Rodes 7 Wall 229 (1886)

Foot Note: Municipal Court Judge Larry Moritz, City of Spearville, Kansasreads person before him their 'money rights' for the payment offines and assessments imposed by him on his judgments. "Its theguarantee that they are exempt from having to pay the sum is theychoose to object to the form of money in which the sum is demanded.If Congress wont keep its part of the Constitutional bargain, andcoin money of gold and silver like Art 1 s8 cl 5 commands, there isno way my court can require anyone to pay fines. It is clear by Art1 s10 of the United States Constitution and by Title 31 s371 ofUnited States Code that this court can only make gold and silvercoin a tender in payment of debts. However, this court willaccept other forms of money such as Federal Reserve Notes orpersonal check if voluntarily tendered. But I sure cant makeanybody pay in paper" Arthur Frank SanfordMovant

Committees:Armed Services, Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry; SpecialCommittee on Aging

Mr. Arthur Frank Sanford3157 Camino AvenueHacienda Heights, CA 91745

Dear Mr. Sanford:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the relationship of theFederal Constitution to the CaliforniaState Constitution.

In regard to your question about the legal tender laws,Article I, Section 10, of the Constitution of the United States isbinding in the state of California. Article I, Section 10 of theConstitution prohibits any state from making anything other thangold or silver coin legal tender for the payment of debts. Whilethis provision of the Constitution prohibits any state from makinganything other than gold, silver, or silver coin a legal tender inpayment of debts, the Supreme Court in 1884 interpreted this clauseto apply only to the states and not the federal government. Thatruling is still in effect. Since Article I, Section 8, Clause5 of the Constitution grants to the federal government theexclusive power to coin money and regulate its value, and since thefederal government is not limited in what it may designate as legaltender, it is constitutional for Congress to declare as it has,that Federal Reserve Notes, the chief form of currency incirculation today, are legal tender for all debts.

Your concern expressed in your letter may stem from a beliefthat only gold and silver coin or currency backed by gold andsilver can be legal tender. I want you to know that historicallythis has not been the view held by either Congress or the Courts.

Again, thank you for writing. I appreciate your interest and

Page 262: Redbook on Travel

expression of concern.

Sincerely,

Pete Wilson

VOL 1 CHAPTER 18 - 1PAGE 405

ARRAIGNMENT PROCEDURE MUST CONFORM WITH FOURTH AND FIFTHAMENDMENTSAS ALL MATTERS OF VEHICLE CODE VIOLATIONS EVEN THOUGH ONLY MALAPROHIBITA ARE TRIED AS QUASI-CRIMINAL MALA IN SE VIOLATIONS AND SOMUST COMPLY WITH PENAL CODE

[Vehicle Code consider violations of the code to be arrestableoffenses by a peace officer, even when merely infractions]

s40300 VC. The provisions of this chapter shall govern allpeace officers in making arrests for violations of this codewithout a warrant for offenses committed in their presence, but theprocedure prescribed herein 'shall not otherwise be exclusive ofany other method prescribed by law for the arrest and prosecutionof a person for an offense of like grade'. s40306 VC. (a) Whenever a person is arrested for a misdemeanoror an infraction and is taken before a magistrate, the arrestingofficer shall file with the magistrate a complaint stating theoffense with which the person is charged.

[Now it can be understood why the peace officer (sic) rather thanhaving to file first a complaint and then taking the arrested tothe magistrate will Release Upon Promise to Appear under s40500 (a)to whit; Whenever a person is arrested for any violation of this codenot declared to be a felony, or for any violation of an ordinanceof a city or county relating to traffic offenses (remember trafficoffenses can only be committed by a person (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 18 - 2PAGE 406

Page 263: Redbook on Travel

(cont) while engaged in trafficking) and he is not immediatelytaken before a magistrate, as provided in this chapter, (40306) thearresting officer shall prepare in triplicate a written notice toappear in court or before a person authorized to receive a depositof bail, (that is the clerk before whom you appear who will thenset an arraignment) containing the name and address of the person,the license number of his vehicle if any, the name and address,when available, of the registered owner or lessee of the vehicle,the offense charged and the time and place when and where he shallappear.

[Now, when the person appears at the time and place indicated onthe notice, a complaint will not have been filed with themagistrate or with the law enforcement officer by the arrestingofficer; which the author believes would be the district attorneyfor the county or a city attorney where there is one][This oversight (sic) is overlooked by the court although it isdemanded by the code itself]

Traffic Offenses - Judge in Capacity of Magistrate Arresting officer 'must' file a complaint under oath statingthe offense charged and a copy of the notice to appear to theofficer's law enforcement agency. VC sss40500, 40505, 40506. Thefailure to appear mandates a regular verified complaint, Penal C.sss 948, 963, 11.36 filed with the court.

[If a complaint under oath stating offense charged, (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 18 - 3PAGE 407

(cont) must be filed with a copy of the notice to appear thenobviously the notice, standing alone as an extra-judicial form,unverified, does not fulfill the need for a complaint]

[Upon an appearance of the arrested person there will not have beena complaint, pursuant to vehicle code procedure filed by anyofficer of the court, i.e., district attorney filing with the courtor magistrate of the court]

[So, now we must look to the Penal Code beginning with s948 et seq]

s949 Penal Code. First pleading on the part of the people inall inferior courts is the 'complaint', except as otherwiseprovided by law.

Page 264: Redbook on Travel

[Except as otherwise provided by law is an indictment, information,accusation]

COMPLAINT: In criminal law. A charge, preferred before a magistratehaving jurisdiction, that a person named has committed a specifiedoffense, with an offer to prove the fact to the end that aprosecution may be instituted. It is a technical term, descriptiveof proceedings. Hobbs vs Hill 32 NE 862

[Now, understanding that no court has subject matter jurisdictionwithout the filing of a complaint, under oath, naming an accused,with the court, and copy of the notice. If a complaint has not beenserved with a warrant of arrest and subsequently filed with theclerk of the court and made part of the record of the courtsfiles, the court is without subject matter jurisdiction and socannot have personam (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 18 - 4PAGE 408

(cont) of the person][Now, even though the court on a notice to appear will accept aplea of guilty/nolo contendere without jurisdiction by the filingof a verified complaint by a prosecutor, it then puts the cartbefore the horse and says we will accept the mere civilextra-judicial notice to appear as though a complaint to which aplea of guilty or nolo contendere may be entered s40513 (a) VC][However, if the person making the appearance decides he does notwant to permit the notice to be used as though a complaint andenters a plea of not guilty, to the court still without completejurisdiction, the court suddenly puts the horse before the cart,and decides it must await the filing of a verified complaintbefore it can permit the prosecutor to take you to anarraignment/trial] [Even a plea of guilty to a court withoutjurisdiction does not give a court jurisdiction]

[The court must have jurisdiction, without the jurisdiction itcannot issue any lawful order, such as appear for a trial, issue abench warrant if you do not appear, etc]

s978.5 (a) PC. A bench warrant of arrest may be issued whenever thedefendant fails to appear in court as required by law. (Read firstthe jurisdiction command)

[There are two types of custody. Actual physical custody in the

Page 265: Redbook on Travel

cell and constructive custody. Neither custody exists by the mereissue of a notice, a complaint must be filed and a warrant issuefor true custody of the defendant]

VOL 1 CHAPTER 18 - 5PAGE 409

s978 PC. If in custody, to be brought before the court. When hispersonal appearance is necessary, if he is in custody, the Courtmay direct and the officer in whose custody he is in must bring himbefore it to be arraigned.

[Understand, that the author considers law to be a chess game.There are rules of procedure which must be obeyed by the players.Before each player may make a move, it must be his turn(jurisdiction) and his play/move must be according to the rules ofthe game, and must be made at a certain time and completedwithin a time frame limit. So, when one of the players does nothave jurisdiction he cannot play, make moves/make points and thealleged player/opponent cannot be penalized by the player who doesnot play by the rules]

[Rule One. The player making the aggressive move must havejurisdiction] [So, the arresting officer must produce the body forthe arraignment. But, before he can do that he must have truecustody of the body because he filed a verified complaint and awarrant of arrest, both served upon the body]

[Recall, at the time of the stop and civil arrest the quasi-copasked you to identify yourself, and you did even though the SupremeCourt says that is a no no, you cannot be compelled to do so unlesstrafficking]

[So, on your appearance at the arraignment court, you can not berequired/compelled to ID yourself.. The arresting cop should bepresent, see you in the courtroom and identify you to the court. Ifhe cannot, the court must await the (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 18 - 6PAGE 410

(cont) producing of your body before it may proceed with anarraignment, assuming jurisdiction of the body and subject matter]

[If you watch television court trials, always the witness, (in this

Page 266: Redbook on Travel

case the arresting officer)is asked to ID the defendant.

So, when you are in the arraignment court and clerk or magistrate calls your name, do not respond, await the identification of your person by the arresting officer who is the only witness for theprosecutor, who has never seen you.

At arraignments on vehicle code civil notices to appear, he will not be present. 4th amend, "not shall be compelled to be a witness against himself" Accuser to ID the accused, "without due process of law" Criminal process]

[If the accuser does not identify you to the court, be mute, as onejudge told an accused, "If you had kept your mouth shut, youwouldn't be in this mess"]

[Now, no one having knowingly produced the body of the accused,leave/exit the courtroom. Again, assuming jurisdiction by theprosecutor and thereby the court magistrate, they cannot prosecutean unknown accused defendant]

[When you decide you have the balls to do the above, take a friendwith you to the court. Then have him execute a declaration oraffidavit that he bears witness that he and you were present on thedate noticed on the Notice to Appear in the court named on thenotice and the exact time there, that you were not identified asthe accused and the exact time you departed/exited the courtroomtogether]

VOL 1 CHAPTER 18 - 7PAGE 411

[Thereafter, if the court issues a warrant for failure to appear,proof exists by the affidavit that you were present at the timerequested by the notice and that no accuser identified you as theaccused and it is not required that the accused identify himself atlaw]

[Appear on the bench warrant, demand the void warrant be withdrawnon the grounds that you were timely present and the matter shouldbe sua sponde dismissed for lack of prosecution by the accusers bytheir failure to produce the body and their failure to file a verified complaint. It is not the responsibility of the accused to demand that a complaint be filed not to ID himself]

Page 267: Redbook on Travel

[The author used these tactics on a personal case and made threeappearances on bench warrants, each time the bench warrant waswithdrawn and a new appearance time set by the court. Each time theauthor failed to appear and did appear on the subsequent benchwarrant and each time argued that the court was withoutjurisdiction and the arresting officer did not appear to ID me asthe accused]

[This must be done by filing a notice with the court that you willbe appearing on a specific date at which time you will demand thewithdrawal of the void bench warrant and the grounds, by points andauthorities for the withdrawal] [In that case the court finallydismissed 'in the interest of justice'] TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT.

VOL 1 CHAPTER 19 - 1PAGE 412

AN OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION MAY BE A MOTION TO QUASH AND IS ASPECIAL APPEARANCE WHICH DOES NOT GIVE MAGISTRATE SUBJECT MATTERORPERSONAM JURISDICTION

[This is done on the premise that as magistrates assert that CivilNotices to Appear constitute lawful need to appear and that if theindividual named on the Notice does not appear a Bench Warrant forFailure to Appear will be issued by the Magistrate]

[Author claims that if the above is true, and because all mattersof State Statute Vehicle Code is civil in nature, see Hawaii vsBrown etc, it may reasonably be assumed that intent of Notice isthat of Summons as the officer will be filing the Notice (summons?)and a complaint with his law enforcement agency askingthe issue of an arrest warrant]

SUMMONS: To notify the defendant that an action has been institutedagainst him, and that he is required to answer to it at a time andplace named. Black's 4th p 1604

[Of course above assumes that a complaint will be filed with a copyof the Notice to Appear and a warrant of arrest issued on showingprobable cause but, there being no service of a complaint and itswarrant prior to your appearance before the court for aquasi-criminal arraignment appearance then such an appearanceshould be made to challenge for want of competent jurisdiction bythe special appearance by a Motion to Quash and Dismiss for want of

prosecution]

"Where proceedings are irregular, 'void', or 'defective', thecourts will quash them both civil and criminal cases. (cont)

VOL 1 CHAPTER 19 - 2PAGE 413

An indictment/complaint/accusation which is so defective that nojudgment can be given on it, or where there is no jurisdiction ofthe offense, 'will be quashed'. The remedy is applicable only toirregular, defective, or improper proceedings"Crawford vs Stewart 38 Penn (2 Wright) 34, 36

[If no complaint with warrant has been served before the date ofappearance on the notice/summons and you do not want to face theissue that a Warrant for Failure to Appear may be issued by amagistrate, even though the magistrate is without juris to so do,then any appearance should be special, and ideally with a Law &Motion Request part of the Motion to Quash]

[If a bench warrant has been issued and you have been informed bymail or service of the warrant, then on your appearance to withdrawthe void warrant this Quash should accompany the motion to withdrawat a Law & Motion hearing]

Motion to Quash is Civil Code of Procedure s418.10, OBJECTION TOJURISDICTION or to Stay or Dismiss Action

(a) Defendant (most likely a quasi-defendant in all cases ofvehicle code) on or before the last day of his time to plead (thinkalleged arraignment date appearance on the notice or summons) orwithin such further time as the court may for good cause allow(here we are discussing, quasi-defendant has appeared and asks forcontinuance) may serve and file a notice of motion either or both: (1) To quash service of summons on the ground of lack of (cont)

Page 269: Redbook on Travel

complaint had been filed with him by the dumb cop, and had notfiled a complaint with the magistrate, not the magistrate who willpreside at a quasi-judicial/quasi-criminal proceeding, theprosecuting attorney had no juris to appear at a quasi arraignment,and with none of the above the man sitting on the bench had neithersubject matter nor personam juris]

[So, the challenge is not, first instance, to the court's want ofjuris but, to the cop's want of juris and the prosecutingattorney's want of juris. Once they prove their juris only thendoes the court have subject matter and personam juris][Immediately after receiving a copy of the notice/summons file aDemand for Formal Administrative Hearing & Declaratory Judgment(See document 119A and 109, chap 14) Giving the department 15 daysto reply.

Then you may argue that no one had juris because of the'exoneration' by the agency's failure to grant the hearing andbecause prosecuting attorney failed to move, first, with thedepartment, thus depriving it of its party, first instance, onmatters which are regulated and enforced by administrative agency]

THIS COMBINATION IS PROBABLY THE CLOSEST PROCEDURE TO BE ASILVER BULLET

[Having gone to the Prosecuting Attorney to file and serve a copyof the Motions, rule of thumb is, he will not accept service, ifyou ask him if he is the prosecuting party]

[The primary argument to be presented to the Hearing Officer, is,no one has proceeded according to law and you are unable to findthe proper prosecuting plaintiff and obviously it is not thequasi-cop as he is merely a witness for whomever is going toproperly and timely prosecute by due process of the law and itsprocedure under that timely appropriate law. Being unable to

OF CALIFORNIA, NOTICE OF DEMAND TO WITHDRAWPlaintiffs, in error, UNLAWFUL WARRANT ISSUED 2/8/91vs DEMAND TO EXONERATE BAIL TAKEN 3/2/90ARTHUR FRANK SANFORD POINTS AND AUTHORITIESDemandant, Sui Juris IN SUPPORT OF DEMAND.........................................................................................................................TO THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE ABOVE ENTITLED COURT:

Page 271: Redbook on Travel

Demandant will appear special on (date) at which time he willdemand the court to withdraw an unlawful bench warrant issued on2/8/91, and further that the court exonerate bail taken on 3/2/91in the amount of $207.50. This demand is based upon the grounds that the court istoothless as demandant was deprived of due process of law, bothstatutory and constitutional.

HISTORY OF THE CASE (center this)

On June 22, 1989, demandant was stopped by John Tomassi, whowrote and gave to the demandant a civil notice to appear, acitation under the Vehicle Code.

PAGE 430

Section 16028 (a) was cited within the notice. At that time demandant signed a statement "Without admittingguilt, I promise to appear".

On October 26, 1989, demandant appeared for a hearing beforethe above entitled court which was sitting and hearing a specialprocedure under a civil code.

On that date a plea of 'not guilty' was entered into therecord of the case by the hearing officer, he must then await thefiling of a verified complaint, pursuant to s40513 (a) VC before itcould obtain judicial subject matter jurisdiction for aquasi-criminal procedure.

As the people have not filed a verified complaint with thiscourt, at this time the court is without subject matterjurisdiction to issue bench warrants. Sufficient grounds exist forthis court to withdraw the invalid bench warrant and exonerate thebail on a bench warrant issued December 5, 1989.

Extra-judicial notice to appear was not verified, the court'srecord of the case show a plea of 'not guilty', at this time,demandant requests that a verified complaint be filed and thatcomplaint and arrest warrant are served upon the demandant, onlythen can this matter be moved forward to trial.

1. Matter was collaterally estopped when Department of MotorVehicles 'exonerated' demandant pursuant to a Demand for FormalAdministrative Hearing and Declaratory Judgment filed with thatagency forum.

2. Since the date of exoneration district attorney has notfiled a criminal complaint with this court. This matter if pursuedis special procedure and civil in nature as the matter is civilstatute.

3. The plea of 'not guilty' entered by this court on October26, 1989, was by this court without jurisdiction as no formalcomplaint had been filed with the court or with the demandant.

4. Court could not enter that plea when court failed to readdemandant his legal rights and grant a continuance when demandantwas without counsel.

5. As of the date of demandant receiving a notice of issue ofinvalid bench warrant, demandant has not been served a copy of aformal complaint or a notice from any prosecutor asking for acontinuance for time to file a formal complaint, so court issued aninvalid warrant.

6. This inferior court is functioning without jurisdictionand must await action by district attorney to prosecute before itmay hear the matter.
