A Lawyer Disbarred For Digging Too Deeply

[Awoke]

You're not hogging the thread, Glass; you're posting from Austrailia. A majority of the GSus membership is sleeping when it is your most active time to post, I would think, being that you're pretty much on the other side of the globe.

Thanks for all your amazing posts in this thread. You make things understandable to a noob like me.

Driving is a commercial term. It is synonymous with operating. Driving a vehicle and operating a vehicle are commercial activities. You would do both for a fee.


Were you carrying passengers for a fee or were you carrying freight for a fee?

Obviously no, it was a leisurely day trip. Just Travelling.

How about the officer gets a conditional acceptance on his claim, conditional on proof of claim, affidavit made under oath that a) the officer did in fact determine that you were subject to the TLA because you had either a fee paying passenger or that you were transporting freight for a fee and b) some other stuff you might like to include.

Remember I said you write write your letters in such a way as to make rebuttal difficult if not impossible.

So in order to literally go through this process with the cop, at some point I would need to give him my licence and accept the copy of the ticket, right? Then you're saying I should write a letter?
I just don't get it.
I know the bastards will suspend my licence if I let the ticket go without paying for it.

Most officers will not make an oath as to the verasity of their claim. This gives them liability and this is not what they want. We live in limited liability world.

They are cowards and don't want to be culpable for anything.

If someone comes to you with an insturment (a claim) they must also provide the remedy. If they do not then they become liable for the instrument.

Are you telling my my fine is an "instrument"? So how and who would I show that they are responsible to provide the remedy?
