ipso facto
Latin adverbial phrase, literally "by that very fact, by the fact itself," from neuter ablative of ipse "he, himself, self" + ablative of factum "fact" (see fact).
So say you are in front of a judicial actor arguing common law concepts and he instructs the bailiff to check the contents of your wallet. A single FRN is ipso facto evidence of debtor status and a contempt of court is forthcoming.
Or say you refer to U.S. code to illustrate that you are not subject to that code. Ipso facto you have just proven that you are the subject.
Or possibly you are stopped for driving (a commercial activity) and raise the fact that you have no passengers for hire in your vehicle. When asked for and you produce a drivers license ipso facto you prove you are subject to the laws of commercial drivers irregardless of the fact you don't view your status as such.
