All you need is enough people to believe you have the right to do so. How do you think the current court system exists? It only exists because enough people believe these certain people have the right to hold court.

To this point. Those who know, will know.

Texas State law prohibits courts of no record in municipalities that have courts of record. However, Austin, which does have a municipal court of record, uses a court of no record to adjudicate petty misdemeanor crimes. The law states, in very plain English, using the words, "shall not," but Austin does it anyway. No fucks given.

I've had plenty of experiences with traffic court in my younger years. It always really pissed me off how people seemed to think that if traffic courts are corrupt as hell it says nothing about the rest of the law. I could not disagree more, but that's the problem isn't it. People don't care and will make any excuse, valid or not, to explain why they don't care.

I would quote the traffic code, the judges manual, case law and the judge wouldn't care. Then again it probably didn't help that in most cases I pointed out that I objected to having my case heard by a commissioner rather than a judge and so refused to use the phrase, "Your Honor" when addressing the commissioner.

Unfortunately, once the system is created they tend to close the gate behind them.

What civil powers do unorganized militia have?

[–] 3 pts

Only those they have the power to defend against those who claim a higher power.

If you're going to make a militia, you make it big and fast.

Legally you have little or no standing once you declare yourself militia or take any action as one. Morally you have every right to do so. The safety vested in (when) doing so should be backed up by its own inherent force.

You would need articles of operation, A statement of intent would be good (related to your rationale for assembling), chains of command, a separate military legal system, a code of military justice, and of course men and arms to fill command, judicial and ranks. At that point you are a standing militia, legally entitled to challenge any component of government, even at force of arms, given proper justification (a cassus belli).

I think 10k men per state would be more than sufficient... We keep saying 3%.. It would take a fraction of that. People are insouciant.

As much as they are willing to exercise.

Mao Tse-tung power? ( "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." )

consent of the governed, but apparently once you’re system is in place you don’t have to maintain consent just fake it using TV

I'd imagine you'd have to create a municipality.

[–] 2 pts

Municipalities don't have their own courts. The lowest courts are at the county level.

There are Mayor courts in a couple states. so depending on what state he’s in it might just need to be a municipality.

Should have said: Start by creating a municipality. From my understanding, that's the first step in creating a town/city.

[–] 1 pt

Right, but cities and towns do not administer courts. The county controls the lowest courts. Cities have nothing to do with them except to be where the court building sits. If you want to create your own courts you will need to create your own county.

That depends entirely on the state. I know of a state where any municipality can create a court for minor offenses.

Step 1: By a large portion of unincorporated land.

Step 2: Incorporate the Land

Step 3: Apply for aid from local, state and federal resources.

Step 4: Build courthouse, police force, etc.

There are abandoned towns you can buy on the cheap. Once you have a town, elect yourself as the mayor (you're the only one voting) then appoint your judges and police and such.

Police didn't originally exist and have no direct constitutional basis. Militia and sheriff used to perform this function.

What's the legal course here?

I'm not a lawyer so I couldn't even begin to guess. I just know that if you can convince people that you're in charge, you are.

Great question.

I want to know how to start a bank. Because I too want to lend money I don't have and then charge interest on top of it. I think you are required to be o one of (((them)))

For a federal court, the constitution establishes the supreme court, and title 3 allows Congress to create inferior courts. Each state constitution has a similar clause establishing their state courts.

Say you are making a Sharia court and it should be fine. "Reformed" Sharia court, the you can apply any reformations you require.
