Are you or someone you know facing charges?
Don't Just pay that fine or do your tiime, learn what the law has to say so you can stand up for yourself and your community.
traffic tickets are not legal, all drug charges are illegal and have no basis and you will be surprised to learn that cops violate your rights every time they pull you over.
stick around and we get into details about this and how you can apply it in your life.

Local groups meetings & presentations
Hello,
This post is in regards to the upcoming group meetings which we'll try to host twice a week for now until we can turn it into a full-time operation later. The meetings will usually include a presentation by myself or another member of the organization, along with Q&A session and general meet & greet.
This is a local organization and meeting in person we think will greatly improve the performance and moral. we are trying to establish a local support center and that is a key part of it.
As of now, we are still in the planning stages, but expect to have a meeting ready and organized in the next few weeks

CASE #1a: We have our court date
Hi everyone,
this is just the first in a series of posts centered around tracking our progress in various cases that we are working on so you can see first-hand how this works and so we get practice. Again remember, we don't have a ton of experience with this stuff, but at least we're going to stand up for what we know to be right and the constitution is in plain black and white.
Only thing to worry about is that as usual the theory is great on paper, but in real life, this stuff is a bit muddy, especially with stubborn judges and crooked cops/lawyers who will do everything in their power to railroad you.
Anyways, this case is for a member of the organization and good friend of mine, Mike, who received a ticket in the mail several weeks ago for running a red light. One of those camera tickets that seems to clearly prove his guilt.. or does it? This happened at the intersection of HWY 190 and Fort hood road where McDonald's is located.
The court date is set for august 27th, giving us about 2 weeks to prepare.
Follow and see what happens. in the next blog posts, I will go through what our strategy will be.

Join the movement - help make history
People of Killeen, we now have a chance to do something here that no other generation before us has been able to. we can take back control of a wild and loose government and we don't have to kill anyone to do it. The forefathers foresaw this and that is why the law was written as it is.
They tell us of a necessary but evil government that we have to protect ourselves from, hence the bill of rights. Today we have tricked into thinking that the government is benevolent and will protect us. Wrong!
Right now we can make a significant change in the world simply by making a small change right in our own backyard. All we have to do is simply do what makes sense while saving money at the same time. It's not about winning every illegal case that we challenge, its about the challenge itself and how the cost benefit ratio for robbing citizens that are aware willing to stand up doesnt look so good.
With the knowledge our organization now possesses, challenging the authorities is as simple as filing a motion and asking very simple and straight to the point questions while in the courtroom. No need to march or demonstrate, no riots or revolutions, simply a basic knowledge of the law so that you can better protect your property and your neighbors.
By doing this, you are making it so much easier for the next man and eventually we wont have to challenge them anymore because they are actually following the law.
That is all we are about. Don't just pay that fine or go to jail. come get educated and get free help to stand up for your rights so that our children won't have the same problem.
forget changing the world. let's change our city first and the rest of the world will have no choice but to follow.
Thanks for the support

Easy out #2: Never a Fair trial
This is a fairly quick post because even a fourth grader can understand this. The constitution grants every citizen the right to a fair trial where there cannot be a conflict of interest and the whole matter should be presided over by an independent third party.
Now try this for a fair trial. A private citizen defendant Vs State prosecutor & city cop, presided over by an "independent" state judge. Do you now understand how this system is set up for the authorities and not to protect the citizens?
the person prosecuting and the judge are both state employees who both belong to the BAR association. How can there possibly be a fair trial in these circumstances?

Easy out # 1: Cops don't know the law
There is a very simple technique for exercising your rights in court and defending from almost any illegal case thrown at you. This is something called impeaching the witness, and in most cases we face the only witness is a cop. If you get the witness to be shown incompetent in a court, none of his testimony can be accepted from that point forth and in a real justice system, the case would be dismissed (a little harder than that with real life judges).
One easy way to impeach the cop is to ask him a few very simple but profound questions during your cross-examination.
1. Are you alleging that a crime has been committed Mr. officer?
2. O.k. well, what elements make up a crime?
(according to the supreme court the corpus delicti in any case [corpus= body delicti=of a crime] is made up of 2 things, proof of injury loss or damage i.e. violation of rights and proof of it being caused by the defendent .. see standing cross reference article)
For one, most cops don't know the law and won't even know crimes have elements. Well, you obviously don't qualify to accuse someone of a crime if you don't know what it is. and if he does know, he will perjure himself by answering because most traffic cases don't meet the 2 elements required for a crime.

Civil rights and car accidents
To truly understand the magnitude of government violating the citizen's rights, you could just look at something as simple as a car accident. if I get into a car accident with someone and both our vehicles are damaged and we sustain minor injuries, assuming we both have automotive insurance, then the property damage and medical bills should be covered, and thus the dispute has been resolved or will be after some investigation into liabilities for the insurance companies.
Everything is going great so far until a police officer comes into the picture and hands out tickets for negligence and speeding, maybe not wearing a seatbelt, or another moving violation, maybe a DUI. Now, one or both of us will have to pay the local government (for what service?) or be incarcerated (kidnapped).
Isn't the moral of the story that if you are negligent or drunk driving, you might get injured in a car accident and your insurance premium might go higher and justly because you have proven to be a greater liability to the company. How do you explain the fact that some third party gets paid and gets to incarcerate someone after they have already resolved their dispute and paid their price?
It's the same thing as me watching my neighbor hit a child's bike with his car, give the kid the money or buy the kid another bike, and I walk over there and charge him a fine for negligence and endangerment. Obviously its none of my business and it would be crazy for any of us to walk around doing this, but for some reason when a cop does it, its called justice.
They can't even claim the fine as a fee for their involvement because they are paid by tax dollars. That should be enough and they have no basis for asking for money, its just robbery and extortion.

Two problems with traffic tickets!
It's interesting how the law today is so backwards, compared to what it was supposed to be. For one, when we look at the US and the state constitutions, they specifically tell us what the government was established for. Also they outline unalienable rights that everyone has, which no person or institution (government) can take away.
The constitutions tell us that the purpose of the government is to "protect and maintain individual rights" so, until someone's rights have been violated, the government has no jurisdiction to do anything. Remember, they were established "for and by the people." Essentially this means that no government is above the people and no government can infringe upon your unalienable rights defined by the constitutions.
So, let's discuss the problems with traffic tickets:
1. Whose rights have been violated if I'm not wearing my seatbelt when driving down the freeway?
2. Whose rights have been violated if I did not come to a complete stop at a stop sign?
Whose rights are they protecting on almost all traffic tickets?

The Killeen Public Defender
The Killeen Public defender is an organization/activist group established in killeen Texas to help the citizens to defend themselves against illegal government actions.
We are just a small group of individuals who decided to take a closer look at what the law actually said. When we did this, we were amazed to discover that most government actions today are illegal. No, i'm not talking about the war in Iraq, George Busch or the federal reserve. It's actualy far more sinister than that.
We're talking about traffic tickets, drug charges, DUI's, and any other non-violent offense that local government officials use to pound the money out of "law" abiding citizens. The majority of these people have no idea how the courts system works and what it was established for, and unknowingly give up their rights and property.
That is what we are here for, we are here to liberate the people of heavy fines and sanctions. We provide a free service and just educate people about their rights and what they can do to lawfully defend themselves in court. Our main goal is to ultimately change the way governments interact with citizens and put the power back where it belongs.
Having a few people accross the nation defending their rights is fine, but will most likely never work because they are isolated and can be easily dismissed. In contrast, our approach is to inform the most people in a small geographic area where it will be harder to be dismissed by the court system.
When everyone in killeen (or a large enough group) decides to stand up and fight fraudulent government charges, they will have no choice but to change the way they do things. But the first step is for all of us to actually challenge the so called "authorities."
Thanks for supporting our cause.
