Are you unaware of the profound distinction made by courts all over the land that there's a very specific difference between a 'motor vehicle' and an 'automobile'.
No, it's not splitting hairs or semantics...words and definitions of words absolutely matter in Law! Without a doubt they matter.
18 USC 31:
(6)“Motor vehicle” means every description or other contrivance propelled or drawn by mechanical power AND used for commercial purposes on the highways in the transportation of passengers, or passengers and property.
There is a clear distinction between automobile and motor vehicle. An automobile has been defined as:
"The word `automobile' connotes a pleasure vehicle designed for the transportation of persons on highways." American Mutual Liability Ins. Co., vs. Chaput, 60 A.2d 118, 120; 95 NH 200
While the distinction is made clear between the two as the courts have stated:
"A motor vehicle or automobile for hire is a motor vehicle, other than an automobile stage, used for the transportation of persons for which remuneration is received."
International Motor Transit Co. vs. Seattle, 251 P. 120
"The term `motor vehicle' is different and broader than the word `automobile."
City of Dayton vs. DeBrosse, 23 NE.2d 647, 650; 62 Ohio App. 232
“The word ‘automobile’ connotes a pleasure vehicle designed for the transportation of persons on highways.” Liebrecht v. Crandall, 126 N.W. 69, 110 Minn. 454, 456
Why does all of the distinctions made by courts all over the land elude the knowledge possessed by cops?
We have a Right to travel (it's called LIBERTY...the freedom of locomotion)...and that absolutely means unregulated/taxed. A right to travel FREELY UPON the land...but all you cops have been so brainwashed and oh yeah...you get the gun, so things like Rights are ignored by you, court rulings that essentially interpret law and rule in ways that trump many of the statutes/codes cops operate under...yet cops remain blissfully ignorant of this knowledge. They see one code in their book and have absolutely no idea, most of the time, if not all of the time, if that code or statute is null/void on it face!!
“No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and charge a fee therefore.”
Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105
“The object of a license is to confer a right or power, which does not exist without it.”
Blatz Brewing Co. v. Collins, 160 P.2d 37, 39; 69 Cal. A. 2d 639.
"A license is a privilege granted by the state" and "cannot possibly exist with reference to something which is a Right...to ride and drive over the streets".
City of Chicago v Cullens, et al, 51 N.E. 907, 910, etc. (1906)
“Statutes that violate the plain and obvious principles of common Right and common reason are null and void.”
Bennett v. Boggs, 1 Baldw 60
“If [state] officials construe a vague statute unconstitutionally, the citizen may take them at their word, and act on the assumption that the statute is void.”
Wingfield v. Fielder 2d Ca. 3d 213 (1972).
“Persons faced with an unconstitutional licensing law which purports to require a license as a prerequisite to exercise of right… may ignore the law and engage with impunity in exercise of such right.”
People v. Battle
“If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.”
Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262 (1963)
"Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them."
Miranda vs. Arizona, 384 US 436, 491
Do you know what a Right is? That a Right can not/does not exist with "privileges" given by government.
I can't believe I even have to say this sh*t to cops. You guys get the gun and you do grotesquely and flagrantly ignore soooo much.
The language of the law is pretty clear, but when it refers to "Rights", cops get phuggen stupid and seem to forget what they are.
Funny how the very definitions of the words used to define law are clear too, but...the issue is YOU HAVE ALL FORGOTTEN WHAT OUR RIGHTS ARE and willfully and arrogantly stomp on them.
Look at the definitions. Argue what? There's nothing to argue. What this language proves to me is that cops do NOT give a sh*t one iota about ANYBODY's rights...they're concerned with power, control, domination, imposing fear into their victims (a supposedly free population of Americans) and doing it all via fear imposed by the barrel of a gun, in a free country noless. You guys are tyrants that are conditioned into believing the shat you tell yourselves for making what you do in your minds ok. You guys are predators. You're tyrants and you don't even see it.
