Q: I have seen both of your attorneys answers, just a quick question if one of you two could please answer? So, as stated

You are informing the public they must have registration to drive, yes you are correct, you must have this in order to Drive, and or Operate a motor vehicle this is a commercial transaction, this being a true statement. That being stated, ArticleVI of the constitution states clearly anything repugnant the constitution is without standing, also since when as you state we must register, are we forced to contract with the state? You are representing Administrative “quote un quote Law” which is not Law it would be a statute, codes, municipalities, ordinance, and or tradition, which are not Law, they are Under Color of Law, so are the two lawyers attempting to mislead the public in which ,Title 18 section 242 of the USC, Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, and Title 18 section 241 of the USC , Conspiracy Against Rights? with both of these the penalty for violating the constitutional rights of the public comes with a hefty fine, possible jail time, and or punishable by death.

A: You are raising important questions about the distinction between law and statutes and the concept of compelled contracts with the state. In the United States, driving a motor vehicle on public roads generally requires registration, a license, and insurance as per state regulations. These regulations are often justified under the state’s authority to maintain public safety and order, which is rooted in the government's "police powers" under the Constitution.

While it’s true that statutes, codes, ordinances, and administrative regulations are not "law" in the same sense as the Constitution, they are considered binding within their scope. The Supreme Court has upheld the authority of states to regulate activities like driving. The argument that this constitutes a forced contract can be compelling; however, courts have generally held that by using public roads, you agree to comply with the regulations governing them.

Regarding 18 USC §§ 241 and 242, these statutes do indeed criminalize conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under color of law. However, for these charges to apply, there must be clear evidence that government agents acted with intent to deprive individuals of their constitutional rights without lawful authority. The enforcement of state driving regulations is not typically seen as a violation of constitutional rights, as courts have long found such regulations reasonable and necessary for public welfare.
