The state is a seperate legal and political entity from the people.fyi...public roads ARE YOUR roads, they are not the State's roads but the citizen's within the State's roads....imo.
You could argue that you own the gun issued to that police officer over there, but if you try to take it from him, you;re going to get pounded, sent to jail, and should you try to argue the above, lose every appeal.
but you are NOT taking anything from another person with utilizing your own road vs taking a gun from an officer?
Just take the a part of the first amendment of the Bill of rights, we have the 'right' to free speech, in the PUBLIC SQUARE....(they already had the right to free speech in the Privacy of their own homes or on Private property), but the 1st gave them such right in the PUBLIC ....on the Public streets, in the Public parks etc.
(Of course, there are restrictions left and right that seem to infringe such, though the Bill of rights states otherwise.... )
I wonder if any of the citizens within each State with mandatory auto insurance challenged the State in court on this....? If not, why not?
Also, several States makes it mandatory that each auto you own has at minimum, "No Fault Insurance", which means you as a car owner and driver, must carry Insurance to cover accidents that happened with another person who has (illegally) not bought insurance for themselves.
Here in Maine, we had a jalopy that did not run....it was the middle of winter when it lost its last breath, snow abound....and we did not have the time or feel like negotiating at that time with a Junk Yard for the scraps of the car, and to come and haul it away....
We called our Insurance Company, to cancel the Insurance on the car and our Insurance Company refused to do such, they said as long as we still owned the car, even sitting in our driveway, we HAD TO BY LAW, keep the Insurance on the car. What BS!!!!!
