Also thinking of selling my bike. I just don't get to ride it as much as I'd like now that the kids are all in sports or this and that.

Motorcycle = true ride freedom.

Technically speaking. In the United States you do not have to have a license to drive a passenger vehicle. Its a right not a law, and it's protected by the constitution.

But the catch is, since you know this isn't advertised because the state would lose money, it's null and void if you've ever had a license. Once registered as a driver in any state you have to ha e a license till you die or are deemed not eligible to drive by the state.

Normally I'd say something like "stupid Americans" right around here but honestly, I way prefer that approached. 100% of the driver's Ed and schooling and time we go through is pure bullshit, as is the amount of money you need to pay for your license.

Wait, Really? Where in the constitution does it say you have the right to drive a car?

That would be tough, since cars weren't invented.

Oh, it's one of those things like where ppl think they don't have to pay income tax.

"Right to travel" does not equal "state can't pass a law requiring a license to operate a motor vehicle."

Miller v Reed 1999 "there is no 'fundamental right to drive'l

Mathew v Honish 2007 "without vehicle licenses, Dean is denied only “a single mode of transportation-in a car driven by himself,” see Miller, 176 F.3d at 1204, and this does not impermissibly burden his right to travel."

Every citizen has the right to personal transportation and to move freely within the country. Privileges and immunities clause.

Ref: Crandall Vs. Nevada (1860); The United States Vs. Wheeler (1920); United States v. Guest, 383 U.S. 745 (1966).

And several more supreme court rulings.

Again the catch is: once you register as an operator you lose the privilege of freedom of movement.

My references are newer. XD

But, if you have friends who have been detained / ticketed for operating a vehicle without a license, and they successfully had the charges dismissed, I suppose you must be right.

Only one of them has ever been detained for operating without a license, and that was in Rhode Island where cops are just primal savages to begin with. He was released within an hour.

Now yeah States can pass a law, but it doesn't mean that law is legal and has to be upheld.

Personal opinion: Law is evil by definition.

Crandall v Nevada establishes that a state cannot prevent a person from leaving the state by taxing them.   

United States v wheeler was a kidnapping case which established that the constitution grants states, and not the federal government, the right to prosecute individuals for interference with the lawful right to travel.

United States v Guest extends the protection of the 14th Amendment to citizens who suffer rights deprivations at the hands of private conspiracies, where there is minimal state participation in the conspiracy.

So, none of those cases is actually about whether or not the state can require you to have a license to operate a motor vehicle.  But I bet you can find sentences within the decisions that could be quoted to support that position.

lol dude im not mad at you. I want people to research things its my goal in life

Crandall Vs. Nevada came about by taxing passengers, which brought about the freedom of movement for passenger vehicles (IE: No tax = modern terms Fee for registering a motor vehicle and obtaining license for operating)

Laws are how us weak people keep down you Nietzschean supermen.

Crandall establishes a fundamental right to travel, but it does so in the context of "can Nevada pass a law imposing a tax on all passengers leaving the state?"

Specifically, they're concerned with whether passengers are equivalent to goods and therefore potentially subject to import/export fees.

There's no mention whatsoever of a right to operate a vehicle.  In fact, they're explicitly discussing passengers.

So, on Aeon's conspiracy theory about the "constitutional right to drive"...

You can drive a car without a license, registration, insurance, etc, on your own property.

The States have a right to regulate who travels on the roads they maintain and on public property.

Theoretically, if every private land owner let you travel across their property, you could go from point A to point B without traversing State owned property, thus legally driving without the need for any of the above.

But that's not going to happen anywhere a sane person actually wants to drive.

seems like dealing with an LEO in general would you get you tazed, or shot, or your dog shot, or your innocent child shot. I carry a gun because law enforcement doesn't travel at 1400 FPS, and even if they did you have a better chance of dying by calling them than dealing with your problem by yourself.

I tell my children never to speak to LEO for any reason, they need to call me first. They're not your friend, they're not your hero. They are extortionist hired for the sole purpose of generating revenue for the state by any means necessary.

Wouldn't say they're evil necessarily. I believe they have a warped sense of justice and morality, certainly, but not evil. Well, not most of them at least, but evil people would certainly gravitate towards a position with the power and social status that comes with being a cop.

Would I say the majority of them are dirty, power hungry try hards? Most certainly, but I'm on good terms with a lot of cops. One actually let me out of the car for a little bit while he was taking me to county so we could smoke a cigarette. Granted, I was in cuffs the entire time, but it was nice of him and he actually could've gotten in trouble for it.

I've also had an officer pull their gun on me multiple times, most of which were unnecessary. First time I was 14 years old, and his partner got hit by a car chasing my buddy when he ran off. He kicked my other friend's leg out from him and slammed him into the pavement when he said he didn't consent to a search, then bragged about piledriving him (again, he kicked his leg out from under him) after the fact.

My friend was only 12 years old at the time.

So yeah, some cops can be cool, and others can be awful, but most of them are just dicks with control issues.

Normal people: "Well, I mean, all things considered..."

Dudebro cop: "So anyway, I beat the shit out of him. Pretty cool eh?"

I dunno where you guys are living, but the police in our area are insanely nice. I dunno, maybe its just part of suburbia, but they even show up during Jewish Holidays to keep watch on the synagouges, and thet arent even Jewish, or even leave their police cars in front when they arent around to make antisemites think twice.
