Stop The Pirates COURTROOM TECHNIQUES Posted: 05 Oct 2014 12:12 PM PDT This is easy to do if you dont know too much. I didnt know too much, but I boxed them in. You must play a little ignorant. If you are arrested and you go to court, just remember that in a criminal action, you have to understand the law or it is a reversible error for the court to try you. If you dont understand the law, they cant try you. In any traffic court case or tax case you are called into court and the judge reads the law and then asks, Do you understand the charges? Defendant: No, (Your Honor,) I do not! Judge: Well, whats so difficult about that charge? Either you drove the wrong way on a one-way street or you didnt. You can only go one way on that street, and if you go the other way, its a fifty dollar fine. Whats so difficult about this that you dont understand? D: Well, Your Honor, its not the letter of the law, but rather the nature of the law that I dont understand. The Sixth Amendment of the Constitution gives me the right to request the court to explain the nature of any action against me, and upon my request, the court has the duty to answer. I have a question about the nature of this action. J: Well, what is that - what do you want to know? Always! Ask them some easy questions first, as this establishes that they are answering. You ask: D: Well, Your Honor, is this a Civil or Criminal Action? J: It is criminal. (If it were a civil action there could be no fine, so it has to be criminal). D: Thank you, Your Honor, for telling me that. Then the record will show that this action against ___(Straw Man Name)___ is a criminal action, is that right? J: Yes. D: I would like to ask another question about this criminal action. There are two criminal jurisdictions mentioned in the Constitution; one is under the Common Law , and the other deals with International Maritime Contracts , under an Admiralty Jurisdiction . Equity is Civil, and you said this is a Criminal action, so it seems it would have to be under either the Common Law, or Maritime Law. But what puzzles me, Your Honor, is, there is no Corpus Delicti here that gives this court a jurisdiction over my person and property under the Common Law. Therefore, it doesnt appear to me that this court is moving under the Common Law. J: No, I can assure you this court is not moving under the Common Law. D: Well, thank you, your Honor, but now you make the charge against me even more difficult to understand, the only other criminal jurisdiction would apply only if there was an International Maritime Contract involved and I was a party to it, it had been Breached, and the court was operating in an Admiralty Jurisdiction. I dont believe I have ever been under any International Maritime Contract, so I would deny that one exists. I would have to demand that such a contract, if it does exist, be placed into evidence, so that I may contest it, but surely, this court is not operating under an Admiralty Jurisdiction. You just put words in the judges mouth. J: No, I can assure you, were not operating under an Admiralty Jurisdiction. Were not out in the ocean somewhere - were right here in the middle of the State of North Carolina, No, this is not an Admiralty Jurisdiction. D: Thank you, Your Honor, but now I am more puzzled than ever. If this/these charge/s is/are not under the Common Law, or under Admiralty - and those are the only criminal jurisdictions mentioned in the Constitution - what kind of jurisdiction could this court be operating under? J: Its Statutory Jurisdiction. D: Oh, thank you, Your Honor. Im glad you told me that. But I have never heard of that jurisdiction. So, if I have to defend under that, I would need to have the Rules of Criminal Procedure for Statutory Jurisdiction. Can you provide me with the location of a copy?
