What I am saying is the following: How can I have committed a crime, say driving without a license, when no one was injured, I have not breached the peace, I operate my auto mobile carefully and following all of the rules of the road (statues) since I am considerate to my fellow men.
Then when arrested for "driving without a license" it is easily fixed in "court" by paying money, money and more money.

Thank you for clarifying this. It has clearly ceased to be about whether there is a legal basis or authority for their actions, and is now about whether they should be beholden to any law other than "what they think is kinda groovy" The use of the term "common law" is perhaps misleading in describing their actions because it suggests there is some actual identifiable legitimacy to their actions other than "because I want to". This isn't "lawful rebellion", it's being a nuisance and inventing spurious pseudo-legal reasons to jusify it.
I referred to the the "fairy dust" use of the term "common law" earlier and this is the perfect example - attach a recognised term to something that has little or no real relation to the recognised meaning of the term, in an effort to make it sound like it is legitimate. Keep on sprinkling that magic fairy dust and soon we can all fly like Tinkerbell, right? To heck with the laws of physics or gravity.
I was rather hoping someone could point to a specific legal argument for the position - after all, they are there trying to enforce their own set of "laws" claiming the existing set aren't legitimate, if they can't find a real basis for their own that would make them rather hypocritical. It looks like the specific legal arguments I'm seeking won't be found.

Well, there is a "Legal" standing for common law. But it's hard to obtain as one must really follow law procedure to the T in order to achieve it, PLUS there are many tricks that the law society can use to cause someone under common law standing to loose their standing.

One of the main arguments is the LEGAL definition of person. When you read through law dictionaries, the definition of person is Corporation. For example, I cross referenced all 9 Blacks Law dictionaries...again in an attempt to disprove...And found that Person is only defined as Corporation, slave or human being; and the definition of human being leads only to the definition of "Monster", a monster being a mutated creature not allowed to own property. Based on the LEGAL definition of person, I'm sure you wont accept ANY of those definitions for yourself.
This is important because Statutes and Acts are written for the "Person", unless the specific Statute in questions offers a definition for "Individual", which will then always apply to following common law. (IE// "Each person must obey this Statute"....as opposed to "Each individual must obey such and such rule of common law. The word and definition for Individual is rarely seen.

You see, common law was the only law recognized until the 6th Babylonian emperor, Hammurabi, who made the first rules to govern over people, as opposed to rules that everyone naturally lived by (for the most part) This isn't to say that at that time the whole world was governed by his brutal laws, but gradually, over time, it was instilled to the world.

The Law DOES recognize common law (this is why one can have a common law wife or husband, which is essentially marriage without government intervention) but it's quite the procedure to get the law to acknowledge it...they loose power if they acknowledge common law. The Law Society has it's own language, called Legalese ( In know, I know, it sounds fake, Do look it up, it's in their law dictionaries), it can be confusing and people not knowing the LEGAL definition of these words are either forced, or tricked, into consenting to following these laws. You see, government is given the force of law only by consent.

I realized one strong point while reading through endless Statutes and Acts and other legislative writings...writings from lawyers, etc, and that point was this...
If the law was NOT a scam...if it truly had the power that most individuals allow it, it would not be written in such a confusing manner using words with alternating definitions. If they REALLY wanted people to follow the law, they would make it simple for everyone to understand. (IE// You will pay tax or go to jail, period. None of this 100 page tax act that requires you to cross reference 10 other statutes in order to fully interpret it.) It's confusing because they DON'T want people to know the law.

Common law is recognized by the law society...secretively. This is why they tried to have the judge arrested for not upholding his oath...for if the judge HAD upheld his oath, common law jurisdiction could have been claimed...which would have nulled the tax act...or whatever their act is called...which would then have been a case dismissed.

So that, in a nutshell, is the legal argument. Governments, Law societies and other corporations have tricked the masses into joining their society through registration, making them bound by the societies rules. It was imposed upon the people in a manipulative manner.
I can say that the world would see peace and abundance if common law ruled because it is these governments, societies and corporations causing poverty, causing wars, causing 95% of the worlds suffering. It wasn't, and has never been, every day people like you and me deciding to go to war, it was emperors with kingdoms and slaves that started the first wars, and it is emperors with kingdoms and slaves causing those wars today. It has NEVER been the people, always the forced institution. I'm not saying there wouldn't be killings and corruption, it would just be on a much much much much lesser scale, and very easily monitored by the people.
If you are truly interested, do some research; read your local statutes and acts and by laws, read law dictionaries and such. I know it's boring as hell, but when you read it all in a new light, it's actually pretty fascinating.
Hope this helps
Peace and One Love

However, in the above quote of yours, you are wrong. I was recently a Juror in a court case here in London UK and I can tell you that Blacks was used in open court.
...
I have a question for you that you may or may not be able to answer. Can you tell me what the exact definition of the term "To Register" is in the eye's of the law? I am led to believe it's definition is "To give away ownership".

That first point is interesting to know, as I have always been told that Blacks is not an acceptable resource to use in court though an excellent resource for research. I stand corrected, but I will stand by the follow-on point that the same term can be used with a different emphasis (if not meaning) in UK law as opposed to US law, so some caution must be exercised. In general terms there appears to be a recommendation to use the Oxford English Dictionary for any word that does not have a specific legal meaning, as this should be the "commonly understood" meaning, or for specific legal meanings the Oxford Dictionary of Law as the next choice if the original source of the definition (caselaw or Statute) is not available. Different BVC providers, Inns and pupilmasters sometimes have their own ideas about these things, of course.
The term "register" is used to describe adding an entry to a list, or the list itself. It does not in and of itself indicate any transfer of property rights. The only way for "registration" to "give away ownership" is for the list in question to be one that carries some form of contractual duty or legal authority to that effect. There may well be a specific legal definition beyond this but I don't have a suitable dictionary to hand.
Registering a birth is a process of entering the details of the person on the index held by the General Register Office. I am not aware of any transfer of ownership that may occur though I have not researched that at all. To be honest I would not expect any to occur. If you're interested, there may be merit in tracking down the legislation that created or empowers the GRO to collect and maintain this information, possibly tracking back through the various incarnations. Potentially big job to do properly. Given the context of the discussion, I take it that your question was leading to people being registered as "corporations" at birth, or something similar?

Thnx for the reply.
Blacks law book is definately used in open court in the UK.
As you know, before a jury gets to decide guilt or inocence in a case, they are allowed to be informed of the accuseds prior record. I think this is a relativelly new development.
In the case where I was a juror, one of the accused had a previous case where chages included somthing to do with a gun. The decision in that case set a precident in UK law and was listed/detailed in Blacks.
Once or twice during the trial, Blacks was used for points of law. When the solictor/lawyer brought these points up by referencing Blacks, we, the jury, were escorted from the court whilst debate went on.
I am led to believe that ALL legal definitions are taken from Blacks, if none can be found there, I have no idea what they use. You could be correct about the Dictionary but that info serves little purpose in this thread.... Blacks is the main reference point.
Am I right in saying that only Lawyers can actually buy a copy of tyhis book? I was told that but have no clue as to it's truthfulness. Or maybe it's just very difficult to get a copy as a member of the public.
As for my previous question, yes it was to do with Births but also with Motor Vehichles and registering them with the DVLA. I wanted the exact definition as found in Blacks.
