PUBLIC SERVANT QUESTIONNAIRE
When you look around the web, you'll find a public servant questionnaire, but not like this one. Its been converted to a single page so you can get a multi-part NCR form made up at Kinkos, Staples, Office Depot, etc.. Keep some by the door to your house and in your glove compartment to give to [any] law enforcement officers who want to ask you questions. Before answering theirs, make them answer yours. You'll find supporting law in 5 U.S.C. 552a"When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)

Officer must identify himself and show you ID if you request it. Also, officer cannot swear an oath in his own mind he has to swear to the complaint in front of a proper party to attest to the swearing, i.e. signing a ticket and giving it to you on the street doesn't get it anymore.

(Iowa Supreme Court) (See the public servant questionnaire) [3] The fact the restraint on Ms. Spicer's liberty was minimal does not make the restraint a reasonable one. The Fourth Amendment applies to all seizures of the person including those consuming no more than a minute. (United States v.

Constitutional Law
When whoever stops you asks, "Do you know why I stopped you?" ...consider saying, "No, I don't."
Giving a response like, "I was over the speed limit" or "I was weaving" - even if just a guess
...not only can be an admission of a violation (and maybe not the one you were stopped for)
but an indication of KNOWING the violation - which only makes it worse.
VIDEO: How To Act If You're Stopped By the Police
A positive mental outlook and attitude is paramount, because if you think you can’t, then you can’t.
But, just because you think you can doesn't mean that you can if you don't acquire the awareness, skill and knowledge to succeed.
"Am I under arrest?" "Am I free to go?"
"If I am not free to go then I must be under arrest. I do not consent. Do you have a warrant with my name on it? What is your show of authority?"
"What is your probable / articulateble cause for placing me under a warrant-less arrest? I do not consent."
If asked for ID, proof of insurance, or any other thing - ask, "Are you going to use this information in a criminal investigation?"
(Question: Do police ever get involved with a civil matter?)
Because, if it is to be used in any manner of [criminal] investigation then you are going to exercise your rights especially the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and not to be a witness against one's self. (If you haven't seen it already, see James Duane's presentation above.)

| Knowles v. Iowa, 525 U.S. 113 (1998)--cannot search car in routine traffic stop! |
|---|
| SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES KNOWLES v. IOWA CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF IOWA, No. 97—7597. Argued November 3, 1998 – Decided December 8, 1998 |
| An Iowa policeman stopped petitioner Knowles for speeding and issued him a citation rather than arresting him. The officer then conducted a full search of the car, without either Knowles' consent or probable cause, found marijuana and a "pot pipe," and arrested Knowles. Before his trial on state drug charges, Knowles moved to suppress the evidence, arguing that because he had not been arrested, the search could not be sustained under the "search incident to arrest" exception recognized in United States v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218. The trial court denied the motion and found Knowles guilty, based on state law giving officers authority to conduct a full-blown search of an automobile and driver where they issue a citation instead of making a custodial arrest. In affirming, the State Supreme Court applied its bright-line "search incident to citation" exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement, reasoning that so long as the officer had probable cause to make a custodial arrest, there need not in fact have been an arrest.
Held: The search at issue, authorized as it was by state law, nonetheless violates the Fourth Amendment. Neither of the two historical exceptions for the "search incident to arrest" exception, see Robinson, supra, at 234, is sufficient to justify the search in the present case. First, the threat to officer safety from issuing a traffic citation is a good deal less than in the case of a custodial arrest. While concern for safety during a routine traffic stop may justify the "minimal" additional intrusion of ordering a driver and passengers out of the car, it does not by itself justify the often considerably greater intrusion attending a full field-type search. Even without the search authority Iowa urges, officers have other, independent bases to search for weapons and protect themselves from danger. Second, the need to discover and preserve evidence does not exist in a traffic stop, for once Knowles was stopped for speeding and issued a citation, all evidence necessary to prosecute that offense had been obtained. Iowa's argument that a "search incident to citation" is justified because a suspect may try to hide evidence of his identity or of other crimes is unpersuasive. An officer may arrest a driver if he is not satisfied with the identification furnished, and the possibility that an officer would stumble onto evidence of an unrelated offense seems remote. Pp. 3—6. 569 N. W. 2d 601, reversed and remanded. Rehnquist, C. J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court. |
The Supreme Court has ruled that as long as the police do not force an individual to do something, the individual is acting voluntarily, even if a normal person would feel very intimidated and would not reasonably feel they could say no. See Florida v. Bostick, (89-1717), 501 U.S. 429 (1991) If you do what a policeman tells you to do before you are arrested, you are 'voluntarily' complying with their 'requests'. Be as nice as possible, but stand firm on your rights! Read this about the Fourth & Fifth Amendments. |
|
Never consent to a search. Don't resist, be respectful, but do not consent. One has no idea as to what the cops are looking for, or how they will interpret what they find. Most important, whatever errors the police may have made in stopping you, or in the warrant, or in the subsequent search are irrelevant if one consents! (If you haven't seen it already, see Professor James Duane's presentation above.) |

Beating Civil Traffic Tickets
VIDEO: The Court of Public Relations
Questions for Police Officer in traffic court:
[You] "Thank you officer for being here today. You are properly sworn in?[Yes] OK, please tell this court, did you file a valid cause of action against me?"
[Officer] "Yes."
[You] "OK, please tell this court just how many elements are in a valid cause of action."
You may hear, from prosecutor, something like, "Objection, calls for a legal conclusion, witness is not competent to testify."
Then you may, from judge, hear something like, "Objection sustained."
Then you say, "OK, then I move to strike the witness's testimony." [testimony includes the ticket] "...and I move this matter dismissed."
[You] Smile ;)] (Of course this entails the officer actually showing up (the prosecutor may try bluffing you on this, [you] just want to go on and have 'your day in court') -- if he or she doesn't - well they don't have a case then do they? {You} Smile ;) and say, "I want this matter dismissed."
Questions for Police Officer in traffic court:
[You] "In order to be a policeman you had to swear an oath to support both State and Federal Constitutions didn’t you?"[Officer answer] "Yes."
[You] "On the day and time you approach me you were armed were you not?"
[Officer answer] "Yes."
[You] "Having sworn an oath to the constitution you attacked me by force of arms in an attempt to compel me to be a witness against myself in felony breach of your fiduciary duty pursuant to the oath you sworn."
[Officer answer] "Yes."
[You] "I move to dismiss because the officer just impeached himself under oath."
DIALOG: In all matters - request [...if need be, demand] that competent evidence of the Plaintiff's claim be entered as evidence.
VIDEO: Impeach a witness
DIALOG:
...next time you get a 'traffic ticket'; ask the court, and the policeman (on the stand), what makes them think your automobile is a 'motor vehicle'? Ask them, since you received a 'traffic ticket', just what goods were you 'trafficing' in? And since the fine is to be paid in so many 'dollars', ask them what a 'dollar' is.
Watch them look at you like you are insane.
Speak clearly and loudly, tell them that you are competent to make an informed decision and that you are not able to understand the nature and cause of the charges unless, and until, they explain their semantics. Remember, in law or life, it is not wise to go passed an undefined word or phrase.
Presumption
F.Y.I.: Believe it or not, everybody's case is pretty much the same.
The "System" (b)leeds you to believe you are some kind of "special case."
The absurd accusations they have brought against you are NOT a "mistake."
It is a SCAM to keep you dizzy with and in fear.
Its NOT about "misunderstanding" you -- THEY ARE DOING IT DELIBERATELY! -- Its their 'system' - not yours.
Consider being a Belligerent Claimant!
JUDGE: "I know that is what the law says in the book, but that is not what it means.
We only use the law book as a guide. In this court I make the law."
PERSECUTED: Wow! You actually have that delegated power?
Then perhaps you'll have no difficulty entering proof of that power into the record of this matter
-- and then I'll be happy to bow down and worship you.
