You DO Have a Right to Use The Roadways Without getting "permission" from the state **Kindly operate your conveyace in a Responsible Manner** ![]() ALTERNATIVE TRAVEL DOCUMENTS If you have visited the Basic Education section,
perhaps now you have a better understanding of why we
offer privately issued (non-corporate) documents.
Natural born Americans never knowingly consented to
being under the jurisdiction of the bankrupted
government corporations and there is no law saying we
have to accept their "privileges". You can be sure that the
officer who detains you on the road is unaware of the
jurisdictional conflict concerning your Rights and it
would not be wise to attempt educating him or her on
the spot, that is why we offer documents that do the
talking for you. For many years, freedom-loving travelers used the International Driver Permit ("IDP") as a way around the jurisdictional issue because usually the officer will send you on your way once s/he understands that you are simply passing through and are not subject to that jurisdiction. The Roadway Report linked to below discusses how to best complete the Application for an IDP and how to use it in your travels. Alternatively, if you understand your Rights and have the confidence to 'hold your own', you may want to consider the Writ to Travel and/or the International Motorist Qualification ("IMQ"). 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 if you have educated yourself on conducting yourself as a Secured Party Creditor or a sovereign. 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.
From "Things that are NOT in the U.S. Constitution" at http://www.usconstitution.net/constnot.html : The Right To Travel As the Supreme Court notes in Saenz
v Roe, 98-97 (1999), the Constitution does not
contain the word "travel" in any context, let alone an
explicit right to travel (except for members of
Congress, who are guaranteed
the right to travel to and from Congress). The
presumed right to travel, however, is firmly
established in U.S. law and precedent. In U.S. v
Guest, 383 U.S. 745 (1966), the Court noted, "It
is a right that has been firmly established and
repeatedly recognized." In fact, in Shapiro v
Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969), Justice Stewart
noted in a concurring opinion that "it is a right
broadly assertable against private interference as
well as governmental action. Like the right of
association, ... it is a virtually unconditional
personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us
all." It is interesting to note that the Articles
of Confederation had an explicit right to
travel; it is now thought that the right is so
fundamental that the Framers may have thought it
unnecessary to include it in the Constitution or the
Bill of Rights.
