"This court is fraudulent"
Last week, a friend appeared before the beak to answer charges of driving without insurance.
Being a belatedly anti-establishment sort of chap, he read up some information on that there internet, and proceeded to annoy the magistrates to the point of them shouting at him that he was indeed a fool.

The hearing was adjourned and he will now face trial. He considers this the first step in his almighty victory over a supposedly de facto judiciary.

I consider it a small victory that I was able to stifle hysterics whilst sitting at the back of the room ostensibly taking notes, with the court usher passing me a note that simply read "where the fuck did you find this guy?"

Our illustrious local newsrag doesn't publish everything online, so here's the report from oh-so-important page 27: Hunts Post

Oh dear!
Your friend sounds as clued up on the law as most coppers.

Indeed
When they seized the car, which I had sold him two days earlier, he attempted to tell the rozzers that they couldn't seize his private conveyance without consent

Prize chozz.
That's great! A little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.

On the other hand, sometimes it works
I read about a guy who claimed that wheel-clampers could not have clamped his car without committing trespass - and won!

Unfortunately there was some reason why the judgement didn't apply to everyone, which I have since forgotten...

Sounds like your mate's been reading about the "sovereign citizen" movement in the USA.

One of my fave conspiracy theories - these lads are proper loons.

Article 61, Magna Carta, written 1215.
Nice to see a man indulge his ancient right to lawful dissent

"a supposedly de facto jury" Your mate not so hot on his classics, then?

As the clerk said
it was all badly-done internet research.
His earlier discharge notice had, until I pointed this out, cited the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Erm, not in the UK Benny boy.

He's also recently claimed that the UK is a corporation trading under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Again, wrong country.

Amusing
but likely to lead to him "falling down the stairs" at some point
