The Code of Crim­i­nal Pro­ce­dure, enacted in 1963, retains the sub­stance of the for­mer statu­tory pro­vi­sions with respect to the issuance of arrest war­rants upon com­plaints and infor­ma­tions. (Ill.Rev.Stat.1965, chap. 38, par. 107–9.) But it also pro­vides for the use of a sum­mons, or a notice to appear, as ‘pro­ce­dures for get­ting per­sons into court with­out the neces­sity and incon­ve­nience of an imme­di­ate arrest.’

Social Secu­rity is NOT a con­tract as some allege, but a polit­i­cal promise upon which Con­gress could renege at any time. Monies dis­bursed by SSA must be appro­pri­ated by Con­gress each year as needed. Since no con­trac­tual oblig­a­tion exists for the pay­ment of any ben­e­fits, tech­ni­cally the ben­e­fits could be ter­mi­nated at any time, if Con­gress did not appro­pri­ate the funds.Taxes

There is much ado, par­tic­u­larly where I live in St. Clair County, about bud­get short­falls and the result­ing lay-offs of police. The media is com­ment­ing on pos­si­ble “safety” issues and res­i­dents express con­cern over lack of pro­tec­tion. In real­ity, there is no pro­tec­tion by police. That is not their job. If it were, then there would be some rem­edy at law for their fail­ing to pro­tect any­one. Peo­ple have made such a claim in the past and the courts have opined on the fal­la­cious belief that police are for anyone’s protection.

He said, first of all, the mar­riage license is Sec­u­lar Con­tract between the par­ties and the State. The State is the prin­ci­pal party in that Sec­u­lar Con­tract. The hus­band and wife are sec­ondary or infe­rior par­ties. The Sec­u­lar Con­tract is a three– way con­tract between the State, as Prin­ci­pal, and the hus­band and wife as the other two legs of the Contract.

What do you do when you when you wish to have some­one charged with an offense but are reluc­tant to call the police, or have called the police and they refuse to act? Often times, the police will begin an inquiry or inves­ti­ga­tion into the per­son bring­ing the com­plaint as well. The more charges they can bring the bet­ter. So, in order to pro­tect your pri­vacy from the police you instead choose to bring charges on your own.

Neon Light Kit

An analy­sis of the so-called law (625 ILCS 5/12–212)© which is claimed to pro­hibit under-body neon lights in Illi­nois This is an exam­ple of what many cops tar­get as a motor vehi­cle vio­la­tion.

Common Law in Illinois

Posted: 17th May 2010 by Marc MkKoy in Commentary and Opinion, Legal Tidbits

Here is a Power Point pre­sen­ta­tion I used when I spoke at the Illi­nois Lib­er­tar­ian Party Con­ven­tion in 2006. My speech focused on the Com­mon Law, and how it is still oper­a­tive in Illi­nois. Offi­cials often por­tray indi­vid­u­als who invoke the Com­mon Law as being fringe, patriot or mili­tia rad­i­cals; and there is much confusion […]
