4. I demand the bond be immediately brought forward so I can see who will indemnify me if I am damaged
What happens next in the courtroom if this said to the administrative clerk/ judge?

The admiralty/maritime connection (one of the chosen categories) isn't fully clear here, unless this involves a vessel.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Without knowing the reason for choosing to use your waterfront property instead of a mooring, a starting point could be to contact the towing company.

There is no way for anyone here to know this. I do not know who the company you mention is, but as a general matter, many investigations (other than public ones such as NTSB accident investigations, or certain cases receiving journalistic coverage) are not conducted openly. Good luck

This isn't an Admiralty/Maritime matter (the category it was posted under). This is something to be discussed with a criminal defense attorney. You could repost and add "Criminal Law" as a category, but the likely response will be to reach out to criminal defense attorneys to discuss. Good luck

The layout of admiralty or maritime courtrooms resembling a ship and the flag flown, often known as the "admiralty flag" or "maritime flag," is associated with a legal theory known as admiralty law or maritime law. This theory suggests that these courts operate under a distinct... View More
Is the court room operating in maritime and equity jurisdiction? If no judicial courts, nor judges have existed since 1789, then who do we rise for in the court room. So since ens legis is an artificial person created in law, the birth certificate has to be the bond and can it get you out of most... View More

The layout of courtrooms and the use of symbols, such as flags, are steeped in historical and practical reasons, not because they operate under maritime law. Courtrooms are structured to facilitate the legal process, ensuring that everyone involved - the judge, jury, legal counsel, and parties to... View More

I have no idea what you are talking about. But unless the debtor is a person, corporation, or some other legal entity, including trusts, filing such a petition of an artificial person will be federal bankruptcy fraud. That is a federal crime. And the 1898 code is defunct, as the 2005 code... View More
