In reading through court records, I came across this case.
Police employed at the Quinsigamond Community College pulled over a man in September 2021 who was traveling in his “private automobile” who says it was unfair because there was no corpus delicti (i.e. evidence that a crime has been committed) or breach of commerce. The driver maintains that he was not engaged in commercial activity and thus has a right to travel in his private automobile (no he doesn’t). He accuses the police of:
- Conspiring against his rights
- Kidnap (sic) the corpus
- False imprisonment
- Arresting without corpus delicti
- Trespassing on his liberty
- Search and seizure of private property
- Forcing their jurisdiction on him
The police presumably arrested him, removed his speciality plate and did not give it back. He is requesting $2,000,000 for these violations. All of his documents were notarized and included his own personal seal.
These are common claims made by sovereign citizens. They have never worked in a court of law.
This case is ongoing but I suspect it will eventually be dismissed.
