JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process: Striker: At the time, I was charged with CCW (Carrying a
Concealed Weapon) and MIP (Minor in Possession). I
fired my court appointed lawyer on the spot when I
showed up for my court date because he refused to
fight for my constitutional (both US and the State
of Michigan) right to bear arms (I had a hunting
knife in a sheath on my hip). The prosecution
returned the evidence to holding before the court
appointment even started. When it finally started,
I was ready to go with all my evidence, and the
prosecution had nothing. Instead of throwing the
case out of court for lack of evidence, the judge
postponed the date to give the prosecution more
time. When the new date came around, I passed
around the Judge, Arresting Officer, and
Prosecuting Attorney's oaths of office and
verified (respectively) that it was indeed their
signatures on the forms. Once verified, I informed
them that both United States Code, American
Jurisprudence, and the United States Supreme Court
(I had the respective documentation in front of
me) claim that Judges and Township Officials that
violate their Oath of Office in the presence of
two or more people and fail to vote in favor of
the Constitution can be tried in Federal Court for
Capital Felony Treason. The judge was none too
happy, but he knew it was true. All charges were
dropped for the CCW case, and instead, he gave me
30 days in jail for contempt. I did not dispute
the MIP charge, as I was only 20 years old at the
time and I blew a 0.211 on the breathalyzer test.
JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning? If not please give us details on how you came to be arrested. Striker: I was being given a ride home after a party at a
friends house. The driver (who had not been
drinking) got pulled over on the way to my house.
The officer pulled him out of the truck and
searched him, then came around to my side. She
opened the door, saw my hunting knife, and
immediately removed it from the sheath on my hip.
She then pulled me out of the truck, placed me on
the hood of her cruiser and searched me. She then
handcuffed me and told me I was under arrest for
MIP and CCW.
JM: What was court like? Please give as many details as you recall. Striker: The court itself is a joke. They love arresting
people and trumping up the charges, then
attempting to get them to "plea bargain" down to a
lesser crime, when most of the people shouldn't
even be in there to begin with. The judge
habitually refuses or dismisses relevant evidence,
as well as accepting hearsay and other forms of
bogus evidence.
JM: What were your original charges? What did you end up being convicted of? Striker: My original charges were for Carrying a Concealed
Weapon and Minor in Possession. In the end, I
don't remember if I got charged with the MIP, but
I know the CCW charge got dropped and I received
Contempt of Court instead because I refused to let
them violate my rights and stick me with a felony
charge.
