How does this impact the driving situation? The fact is, every state has also created a corporate government. Originally, states were set up as separate countries, loosely joined together under the "umbrella" of the federal government. The federal Constitution guarantees a republican form of government to each of the states and if you read the constitutions of the various states, especially the older versions, you can see that. They had the word "state" after their names, such as "New York state". After the inception of the corporate state, names changed to "State of", as in the "State of New York".   So, when we sign up for a state-issued driver's license, we waive, or give up, our organic Right to freedom of mobility, and agree to come under the jurisdiction of the corporate state. This is why children are taught in school that driving is a privilege. It IS a privilege. They just don't tell the kids that it becomes so after they waive their Rights.  

For further lawful support of our driving Rights, see the 23-page Driving Brief, which has been used to get the charge of driving without a license dismissed many times. It cites many court decisions that uphold our driving Rights and draws on legal references and logic with regards to the use of the police power, regulation of a Right, taxation of a Right, conversion of a Right to a crime, etc. 

The 14th Amendment to the federal Constitution defines the term "Citizen" as "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction there of, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This Article follows the 13th Amendment, which freed the slaves, because it created a separate and distinct class of citizenship for those under the "incapacity" of race, giving them the same privileges and immunities as individuals born in one of the several continental states of the Union but not the same equality (rights). This same "privileged" citizenship has since been offered to anyone, regardless of race or circumstance, as long as they contract to forfeit their native-born rights. This type of citizen takes on the securities, privileges, protections, and liabilities of the United States Government (District of Columbia). Unless we point out otherwise, it is assumed that every single one of us is a 14th Amendment citizen.  

If we are not a citizen of the corporate United States (with it's home office in Washington, D.C.), then we are not subject to it's jurisdiction and so, are foreign to it. This is why those who have come out of the jurisdiction of the U.S. are "non-residents". 
 

Since the late 1700s until the early 1930s, gold and silver was the money and medium of exchange used in America. The paper currency was merely receipts which were redeemable for money (gold & silver coin) at the bank. Then,  in 1933, the corporate United States went bankrupt as per House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192. A bank holiday was declared and Americans were intimidated into bringing their gold to their bank and turning it in for silver coin or "Silver Certificates".  Finally, in 1963, even the silver backing was removed. There were no more Silver Certificates and nothing of intrinsic value backed the currency. It became what is known as "fiat currency", a medium of exchange that is declared by "law".  

Why are there quotation marks around the word "law" above? Because our true law, specifically at Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, states that "No state shall made anything but gold and silver a tender in payment of debt." All so-called laws (such as statutes, etc.) that do not conform to the federal Constitution are known as "colorable" laws, so while the Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) that we use today are considered legal tender, they are not lawful money. 

The impact of the bankruptcy of the United States corporation did not only affect what we refer to as "money", it also affected the laws that we operate under as a society. Some people have gone into traffic court using Constitutional arguments and couldn't understand why the judge not only wouldn't accept it but even threatened contempt of court if the Constitution were brought up again. The simple answer is that we no longer operate under the common law, which is what the Constitution is. We now operate under colorable law. Due to the bankruptcy, we now have courts of Commercial Contract wherein an assumption is made that we have all accepted government granted benefits and privileges.  If we do not refute that assumption then we are held liable to the corporate state. 

The Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) is what the courts apply today (though they don't admit it) to gain jurisdiction of all citizens, regardless of what their status is. Common law is based on substance, while the U.C.C. is based on bankruptcy. However, in order to maintain the bankruptcy of the nation as a secret, the court will tell you it operates under statutory "law", but statutes are not laws and you cannot access remedies under statutory law. The U.C.C., on the other hand, does provide us with remedies. See, for instance, Sections 1-207 (which has been replaced by 1-308); 1-103, 2-201; 3-301; 3-305.2(c); and 3-601.  

Considering the foregoing information, perhaps now you have a better understanding of why we offer the privately issued (non-corporate) IDP and suggest using it as specified in the Roadway Report, as an identification document that indicates your proficiency in operating an automobile. Natural born Americans never knowingly consented to being under the jurisdiction of the bankrupted government corporations.

You can be sure that the officer who detains you on the road is unaware of all of the above and so, usually s/he will be satisfied with checking your document and sending you on your way once s/he understands that you are simply passing through and are not subject to that  jurisdiction. In some areas, officers may have been trained to be wary of IDPs which is why you need to thoroughly understand what you are doing regarding the IDP. Remember, the IDP is not for U.S. residents. 

Alternatively, if you understand your Rights and have the confidence to 'hold your own', you may want to consider the Writ to Travel. It is a powerful package that only the most ignorant officer would disregard. If you happen to run into "Officer Ignorant", and s/he issues a citation, it can usually be easily disposed of.  

The bottom line here is that there is no easy way to exercise your Rights. You need to make the decision to educate yourself or just follow the dictates of those in power.
