I remember when my car registration had the statement “the undersigned declares that he is operating a motor vehicle,” so yeah, I’ve known about this legal trickery for at least 20 years. Driving (drayage) is by definition operating a commercial vehicle, and calling yourself a driver, instead of a traveller, makes you subject to all the laws governing commerce, and simultaneously makes null your Constitutional protections. But try and tell that to the 12 people the state lines up to crucify you.
It’s an old custom for bureaucrats to name bureaus inaccurately. State DMVs typically license trailers, which clearly have no motor, but are intended for road use.
Nobody has found an easy loophole yet and this (which is a state not a national issue) is far, far, far down on the list of things that fundamentally imperil American freedom.
Huh?
Thirty years ago there was a few over in Grass Valley, CA who used to drive without plates or licenses. If you were polite and gracious the cops would generally allow you to continue on your way.
So this guy is arguing we should do away with license plates and car registrations in the name of freedom?
I don’t get it.
I’m one conservative who believes licensing all vehicles using public roads IS a LEGITIMATE duty of the State.
Licensing, vehicle registration and inspection help protect EVERYONE who travels, which is, really, everyone. Government use of tax dollars can only be justly used to the benefit of all, IMHO, and safety, and crime prevention (through registration) on the road is certainly one area benefiting all.
This kind of radical libertarian thinking gives conservatives a bad name, IMHO.
Registering and titling motor vehicles has been my job for 5 years and I have no idea what you are going on about here.
Licensing fees basically go to maintain the roads and bridges that we all drive on (or ride on as passengers, take your pick). In my state, each county collects its own road & bridge taxes based on the population. Higher fees in more populated counties.
I’ve never had a customer question the necessity of licensing their vehicle although I have had a few kooks who simply want to rant about something because they are having a bad day.
Aren’t there more important things to get all excited about?
Oh, you’re zotted.
I’m guessing you’ve been here before.
