Showdown at St. Louis County Circuit Court. Oct. 10, 2006

Despot, Patrick Clifford

I attended traf­fic court with my wife in St. Louis County Cir­cuit Court, where a motion hear­ing was to take place. My wife was called by the judge to approach the bench. She approached with me in tow. The pros­e­cut­ing attor­ney took his posi­tion at the left cor­ner of the table fac­ing the judge and my wife took her place at the far right cor­ner with me to her right. Read on…

A day in Hell with a judge called Zina Cruse

Zina Cruse

On May 8, 2009, I appeared in court­room 108 for the 20th Judi­cial Cir­cuit Court in response to a Notice to Show Cause aris­ing from a traf­fic ticket issued in 2006 by Collinsville, Illi­nois. The pre­sid­ing judge was Zina Renea Cruse (pic­tured here). It appears that this court­room is for first appear­ances relat­ing to traffic/misdemeanor. Judge Cruse called my name and I approached the bench. When I ques­tioned why I was being ques­tioned about a dis­missed charge, Judge Cruse attempted to tell me that, since Collinsville is in both Madi­son and St. Clair Coun­ties, the Madi­son County part of Collinsville was dis­missed, but not the St. Clair County side. I asked her if there were two charges aris­ing from one inci­dent which were filed in two coun­ties by one munic­i­pal­ity; to which she replied, “yes”. What that implies is that one traf­fic ticket issued by Collinsville sub­jected me to the juris­dic­tion of both Madi­son County and St. Clair County. That is either a bold-faced lie or an expres­sion of incom­pe­tence. Fur­ther­more, how would Judge Cruse have any infor­ma­tion regard­ing the Madi­son County charge when she is sit­ting in St. Clair County? The charge from Collinsville was a munic­i­pal charge and the set­ting was munic­i­pal court in Collinsville. Read on…

Common Law in Illinois

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;it gets bet­ter. Read on…

Preparing for civil unrest

By Claire Wolfe The most remark­able thing about civil unrest is that there hasn’t been more of it. Politi­cians are mak­ing a hash of this country—and much of the rest of the civ­i­lized world. We know it. They know it. They know we know it. But we don’t feel weit gets bet­ter. Read on…

Cops: Public Servants or Fascist Pigs? (Part 1)

It was not many years ago when I con­sid­ered myself a sup­porter of “law enforce­ment.” (I made dona­tions, had the F.O.P. and Sheriff’s depart­ment stick­ers and every­thing.) Cops were, I believed, the good guys, pro­tect­ing the inno­cent and impos­ing jus­tice upon evil­do­ers. Oh sure, I knew there was cor­rup­tion hereit gets bet­ter. Read on…

Don’t Talk to the Police” by Professor James Duane

Good stuff from a law pro­fes­sor, as well as a follow-up con­fir­ma­tion from a police offi­cer. Basi­cally, keep your mouth shut. The truth is irrel­e­vant. The facts are sub­jec­tive. Your lib­erty is up for grabs. Bottom-line, you can­not trust the police so why waste your breath? Follow-up by George Bru­chit gets bet­ter. Read on…
