BACKGROUND:
My wife is Black, and I am a white male. We are also, most importantly,
Lawful Citizens. We were pulled over despite the outward appearance
of our vehicle having a current inspection sticker located in the
proper location for such. The officer put his head in to inspect
it, and discovered it was for the previous owner. Many other cars
were being (unlawfully) towed off after being (illegally) confiscated.
SINCE this WAS on a private (closed) business location, and not
on Public Land, I successfully challenged this citation in Court,
citing that the Police had NO PROBABLE CAUSE for pulling us over
for the "inspection." I carry a US Constitution with the Bill of
Rights. WHEN I came to the Court House, I spotted a sign on the
Court Bulletin Board that said, "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS." The clerk thought
I had NO way of escaping the fine and questioned me for why I was
fighting this. I simply replied, "I know my rights."
The Court went into session, and the Judge called my name to go
speak with the Officer, which I did. He expressed his anger at my
challenge of the ticket and demanded I explain why I was doing it.
Whereupon, I pointed out the Sign on the Courts own Bulletin Board.
Then I pulled out my pocket copy of the US Constitution with the
Bill of Rights. I asked the Officer, WHY did you pull me over? He
got angrier, and further demanded of me why I was challenging his
ticket. I read him the portion of the Bill of Rights that says he
must not use private property without the consent of the owner.
I asked him, "Did you have consent of the owner?" He retorted, Yes.
I said, "Do you have it in writing?" He said "No." I said he was
in trouble with that answer. I then asked, did you pay the owner
for the right to use his private property? He did not say yes. I
pointed out that the Bill of Rights REQUIRES "just payment to the
owner." Afterwards, the Court called the matter, and issued a continuance,
when the Officer declared that the state of NJ was NOT prepared
to successfully prosecute me. I immediately made a verbal Motion
to have the matter dismissed, declaring that I had come prepared
to defend myself. The Court erroneously declared that I had been
there before, and had received a continuance upon request, and that
this would be fair. I replied, respectfully, to the Court, that
I had NEVER been present in his Court prior to this visit, and he
still denied my Motion.
Upon return in 2 weeks, I noticed that the Court had REMOVED its
sign that declared, "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS." The prosecutor had the Court
call me out, and said to me privately, that if I would stipulate
that the Officer DID have "probable cause," he would immediately
agree to dismiss the case against me. I agreed to this and the case
was dismissed. However, we had friends in ATCO, NJ, and on each
drive through, the local Police would ALWAYS turn around, and follow
me very closely, seeking to intimidate me. After this happened a
few times, a neighbor across the street from my Berlin, NJ residence,
called me and asked why he saw the ATCO Police following me so closely,
without stopping me. Now that I had a witness to the intimidation,
I notified a friend who I knew had access to their Chief of Police,
that the very next time, I would file a Federal Lawsuit for the
ongoing misconduct. The intimidation STOPPED, and NEVER again took
place. THEY NEVER followed us, nor pulled us over for ANY reason
after this. Sorry for saying so much, but I want folks to know that
you should challenge ALL US Constitutional Violations. THIS IS THE
ONLY WAY TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHTS. YOU HAVE NONE IF YOU SELECT TO
WAIVE THEM by NON-ASSERTION.
I have 2 brothers who themselves are Police Officers, and I love
them, so this is NOT a challenge to LAWFUL Authority, but to UNLAWFUL
CONDUCT, period. THE US Constitution, our Bill of Rights are written
in such a manner that they can NEVER be repealed, not even by a
NEW "constitutional convention," which has been repeatedly attempted.
Not by Treaty amendment, not by any other often reported device.
ALL SUCH efforts are to give the "color of law" to that which can
never become Lawful conduct within this nation. Support the Law,
not Unlawful Acts carried out in the name of the Law! Yes, even
US Presidents can BREAK and VIOLATE the Law. Let NO ONE get away
with such. If the us Supreme Court ever sides with such unlawful
conduct, then it is STILL up to We the People to UNDO the damage,
to insure the Rights of the next generation! Love your children?
Then FEARLESSLY STAND FIRM for ALL of your Lawful Rights, ALWAYS!

road block is set up hidden from veiw around a bend. There are pursuit
cars set up as well and sign placement is hidden. there is no place
to turn around. And if they do see you turn aroud they will chase
you. They act in a very unbrideled manner and do not have any cirtification
for doing roadside tests. These test given are reported falsely.
And you will be found guilty. If they pic you. They also seem to
target people in the cumberland co area for easy prosicution. This
road block was 1st set up labor day weekend it was the departments
first one and was set up for 1600 in grant money paid to them. |

In a couple hours of observation, I have seen a handful of cars
and a utility van towed. Taxis and buses seem not to be affected
by the roadblock. |

This site is obstensibly set up for seat belts
in the wake of the governors recent high speed crash wherein the
Governor being driven by a State Trooper of the Executive Detail
was traveling at over 90 mph at the time of the incident when
an civilian motorist was frightened by the oncoming motorcade
at high speed and started a chain reation crash.
The state has begun a safety program involving
seat belts...But at this location several Police agencies even
the Sheriffs have set up impromptu check points under the 23 N-S
bridge, & Wayne PD have been conducting random check points for
registration and insurance etc for some time now with impunity.
Recent telephone inquiries to the PD reveal they are aware of
the Supreme Court view regarding what is a legal check point saying
"we dont do that here".
The notion that the double standard as we are
the city we do what we want is unaccaptable when there is clear
settles law with respect to roadside checkpoonts be they seat
belts, child seats, registration, insurance, or random select
impulse by an officer.
