Coppers on CH 4 this week - freeman on the land

...who respects the law? Most people follow it. A lot of people agree with a lot of it, and think it's probably a good thing to encourage others to follow it. Some people even know some of it. Of those i'm sure one or two might actually understand it. But respect? No, i don't think many people respect the law. And with good reason.


Respect:
...
10. to show regard or consideration for
...

:p
 
Is't it all to do with being able to differentiate between contract law, commercial law and common law and ones place therein?

And the fact our common law has been thrown out the window?

I'll try dig up a recent video about the Chairman of the British Constitution Group who has the courts and judges scared.


Edit: Here we go. Long one tho.

Only in his own eyes, plus a few of the fruit-loops who follow (as much as is possible) his ideas. The magistrates I know have a reaction that is a lot closer to rolling of eyes when he and his ilk hove into view. But you can't argue with him or his supports because they aren't rational. The ideas they espouse are essentially just a weak attempt to get around laws they don't like, usually ones involving paying taxes or speeding. And a question: when they bang on about common law, which time period are they talking about, because the meaning of the expression has changed over the centuries.

If you listened just before the credits the narrator said "its a Statute AND a Law!"... so the mouthy bloke was wrong!!..

this

What is this old fashioned word "respect" you speak of? Doesn't exist in today's generation of self-entitlement.


As the guy stated at the end (not verbatim but very close):

"we have went through a social experiment within the UK, where people have been allowed to do whatever they like. If children are raised in this environment then they believe they can do whatever they want as adults. They have no respect for others or decency"

Well said that man

surely it's "we have gone through"...

"where people have been allowed to do whatever they like." - false. You can't even smoke a joint without being treated like a child and told off by police for being a naughty boy.

If anyone watched the first season of coppers it tended to show the full interactions with the police so you could judge the situations much better and there was a huge case of over policing, but in this season channel 4 have seemed to have changed their style somewhat... weird eh?

Sounds like you are describing the average officer, rather than the average drunk.

at times this season... in every episode on the last.

It's great when you remind them that the Magna Carta is a statute. They don't like that.

What is Magna Carta?
 
notsureifserious

100% serious :confused:

The Magna Carta was signed in June 1215 between the barons of Medieval England and King John. "Magna Carta" is Latin and means "Great Charter". The Magna Carta was one of the most important documents of Medieval England.

It was signed (by royal seal) between the barons and John at Runnymede near Windsor Castle. The document was a series of written promises between the king and his subjects that he, the king, would govern England and deal with its people according to the customs of feudal law. Magna Carta was an attempt by the barons to stop a king - in this case John - abusing his power with the people of England suffering.

I can't believe I didn't know about something that happened 800 years ago

Given it was/is one of the most important bits of history for the UK I'm amazed you didn't (it's certainly one of the handful of most important documents in British history).
Have the schools really gone that far down hill in the past 15 years?

I've never taken an interest in ancient history because I've never thought it would be too advantageous. Perhaps you could educate me or give me some history subjects to research that'll blow my mind and make me see the world differently :)

As far as schools go, I haven't taken a history class since year 9 as we were given the choice between it and geography, and that was a good 8 or 9 years ago.

Perhaps because it's illegal, and it's the job of the police to catch people who are breaking the law? Are you sure you're not trolling?

[..]
The basics of it is that we have 2 types of law in this country. Law one is common/natural law. Common law says cause no financial loss or harm to others. Common law is the true law of the country. Everything else comes under admiralty law. That is why the dock in court is called the dock and why it is called a birth certificate. You are birthing at the dock. It also why we say the womans waters broke when having a baby. Admiralty law can also be defined as corporate law and deals with things like speeding fines, debts, tax evasion etc. Freemen say admiralty/corporate law is not enforcable and parliament know this and that is what they are called "acts" of parlaiment. That is why you have the police man or police woman and the police officer. The policeman or woman deals with common law. The police officer deals with admiralty/corporate law. This all started around the time of the Magna Carta.

Well, thank you for demonstrating what utter rubbish it is, thus saving me the time I might have spent looking into it.

If you're trolling, that's funny.

If you're not trolling, it's still funny but I'm laughing at you rather than with you. Maybe I shouldn't, but that's so utterly ludicrous that I can't help it. You're making a distinction between laws that does not exist unless you're going to argue that the only valid law is that enacted by royal decree prior to the establishment of parliament. You're then going on to attach one part of the fictitious division you've created to the navy, for no apparent reason other than a desire to pretend that two completely unconnected things are connected because they each have a word related to them that sounds the same. Two different words, with different spellings, different meanings, different etymologies. But they sound the same, therefore the law doesn't exist. Obviously.

I was reading about a conspiracy "theory" that contrails caused by jet engines on aircraft are mind-altering drugs from the secret conspiracy that rules the world. Because, of course, it would make perfect sense for them to dose everyone with their secret drugs in a secret conspiracy by getting hordes of people involved and doing it in a way everyone can see and which allows them no control over where the drugs go. Much more sensible than adding the secret drugs to the water supply.

That conspiracy "theory", an idea so stupidly ridiculous that even most conspiracy "theorists" think it's stupidly ridiculous, makes more sense than your argument.
 
perhaps the simplest way to see how fundamental their misunderstandings about the law are would be to look at Rational Wiki .

Thats a great link, thanks.

It explained my biggest mis understanding - where they get this all from. And the answer turns out to be ... blacks law dictionary. Which they have somehow decided is some kind of ultimate definitive resource on what is and isn't law.
 
And who decides if it is unjust?

It's up to the individual to decide if a law is unjust. That doesn't mean that you can then flount that law without fear of reprisal, but it does mean you should act to have the law changed.

Personally I believe in living my life by what is right or wrong, rather than what is lawful or unlawful. In most cases the two coincide and all is good. I think it's wrong to kill someone or steal their stuff, and so does the law. I think it's wrong to drive at an unsafe speed, but to me, 90mph on the motorway, especially without much other traffic is not unsafe and therefore not wrong. My view differs from the law there, as it does where pot is concerned for example. (I haven't smoked pot in about 6 or 7 years by the way). Smoking weed is against the law, but it's not wrong, there is no moral reason not to and so i don't see why i shouldn't.

However, I am aware of what the laws in this country are, and that I am liable to get in trouble for doing things that break the law and i accept that, because I want to live here at the moment. I wonder which laws the Freemen would like to see upheld if someone harmed them in some way? Makes me think of the travellers on Dale Farm, who broke the law in one direction by building on land that they didn't have permission to build on and expected to be allowed to get away with it, then used the law in their defense to try and remain there without being evicted.

TL;DR
You might or might not agree with the law, and you might or might not obey the law, that is up to you. But while you live in the UK you are governed by the law. If you think a law is daft then break it, but you may have to face consequences. If you don't like it, work to change the law or go somewhere else.
 
Freeman movement is growing and episodes like this only spread the word about it.

You should watch the dean clifford videos for some more recent information on the topic, although he is american it is still applicable.


It goes as far back as the petition of right, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petition_of_Right

The movement also says that the mercantile law and the jurisdiction of the courts is invalid, amongst other things.
