Thone: 'God-given inalienable right to travel shall not be infringed'
To the editor:
This Constitutional Republic of 50 states agree that every American individual has the God-given inalienable right to freely travel without paying, licensing, permitting, registering, insuring, or having that right granted by any entity other than God.
Ex Parte Dickey, (Dickey vs. Davis), 85 SE 781 … “Travel is not a privilege requiring licensing, vehicle registration, or forced insurances.”
The present-day government mandates that every individual pays to exercise their God-given inalienable right to travel in the 50 states.
This premise is carried even farther by allowing each state no limits on the number of plates, registrations, permits, etcetera that can assess fees for exercising your God-given inalienable right. Thompson v.Smith, Constitutional Law, section 329, page 1135
Hierarchy of travel:
•God-given inalienable right to travel shall not be infringed. No registration required, no license required, no insurance required, no permit required, no fees required, no taxes required, no other charges required.
•All states agree that no more than one full registration fee per vehicle per year with no other taxes, fees, or other charges. Commercial vehicles are allowed to choose their base state of operations. MN statute 168.187 Interstate registration and reciprocity: § Subdivision 1 and 8.
•Pay for hire vehicles under 10,001 GVWR pounds are not subject to commercial regulations. (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Commission Association) Hours of Service (HOS) | FMCSA (dot.gov)
•Minnesota requires pay-for-hire vehicles under 10,001 GVWR pounds registered in another state that are not subject to commercial regulations to register their pay-for-hire minivans with five plates.
The first is registering the 6,050-pound GVWR minivan as a semi-truck that’s ineligible for the IRP (International Registration Plan). The 6K pound minivan exempt of commercial regulations becomes a commercially regulate 80K semi-truck that can’t be a semi that must be a semi.
The second is registering the 6,050-pound 7-passenger minivan as a 15-passenger bus that is not required to follow commercial guidelines. The 7-passenger minivan becomes a 15-passenger bus that can’t be a bus that must be a bus.
The third is registering the pay-for-hire minivan as a residential vehicle (car) in MN that can’t be used to do pay-for-hire transports that’s doing exempt commercially regulated transports.
The fourth is registering the pay-for-hire minivan as a special transport service being forced to comply with commercial regulations when that minivan is exempt for those regulations and then becoming a bus that can’t be a bus.
The fifth registration option requires the pay-for-hire minivan to be declared a commercial non-commercial vehicle that cannot be commercially regulated as a commercial vehicle with commercial plates that must be registered in every state as a IRP vehicle as it’s registered in another state. Vehicles under 10K are exempt
•SD requires pay-for-hire vehicles under 10,001 GVWR pounds used for Medicaid transports to have a secure registration fee (plate) with corresponding business license and an ambulatory registration fee (plate) with a second corresponding business license.
With the mandates of two states 350 plates, 100 business licenses, 200 inspections, access fees, insurance, etcetera for one minivan are required which equates to $180,000 to freely travel with one minivan in the United States of America.
