In a criminal court arraignment, a defendant's lack of legal knowledge and reliance on incorrect legal arguments (such as misapplying the Uniform Commercial Code to criminal proceedings) will not prevent the court from exercising its authority to set bail, schedule pretrial conferences, and require compliance with court procedures like fingerprinting.

Sovereign Citizen Shows Up Dressed To Impress… Then Gets DESTROYED In CourtAdded:
I never gave consent to have any attorney appointed to speak for me.
He's not appointed to speak with you, sir. She's sitting in with us. She is here to assist if if you are interested in speaking with her, but you certainly do not have to.
Okay. Well, this is court of record, correct?
Yes.
Okay.
1 to UCC 1-103 and UCC 1-308, I reserve all my rights at all times and I waive none ever.
I'm here by special appearance only, not generally. Under threat of drastic coercion as authorized representative in this tax court.
Okay. So, sir, you're reading from the Uniform Commercial Code, which has nothing to do with criminal law. You also just mentioned mentioned tax code.
All right. And we do have Jimmy Ray Howard, I believe.
Good morning, Mr. Howard. Can you hear us?
Um I object.
It sounds like court's trying to subject me to your jurisdiction. Is this court of record?
So, Mr. Howard, this is um 86th District Court. It's the time and place for an arraignment in case 265132 SM. You're zooming in with us this morning. Also zooming with us is defense attorney Roberts. She comes to us through the Indigent Defense Council.
And uh she's here to assist with the arraignment process. We also have assistant prosecutor Ms. Wandmacher zooming in with us.
I never gave consent to have any attorney appointed to speak for me.
He's not appointed to speak with you, sir. She's sitting in with us. She is here to assist if if you are interested in speaking with her, but you certainly do have to.
Okay, well, this is court of record, correct?
Yes.
Okay, under UCC 1-103 and UCC 1-308, I reserve all my rights at all times and I waive none ever. I'm here by special appearance only, not generally. Under threat drastic coercion as authorized representative in this tax court.
Okay, so sir, you're reading from the Uniform Commercial Code, which has nothing to do with criminal law. You also just mentioned mentioned tax code.
So, I don't know if you you don't want my assistance, that's fine, but everything you just read has nothing to do with what you're here for this morning.
Uh I move to court state judicial notice of 28 USC Okay, Mr. Howard, I I need you to stop talking.
This is the time and place for an arraignment on an alleged um operating without security, operating without a license, operating an unregistered vehicle.
And uh I don't I don't want any games. I just want to move on with this.
So, uh let's see here. I also need you to report to the Antrim County Jail to get your fingerprints taken.
So, we're going to have to work that into the schedule.
But as far as the allegations in this complaint, Mr. Howard, uh would you like to stand mute?
I like to move for dismissal.
Nolle prosequi.
Okay. And lack of jurisdiction.
Bro, we just landed in the twilight zone of court drama. This dude's already throwing UCC codes like it's a mixtape drop. [music] But wait, the court's like, "Nah, bro, this ain't your tax seminar." And then he hits us with special appearance only like some legal superhero. Hold up, did he just waive all his rights, but also none? Mind equals blown. Wait for it. He's about to fight jurisdiction like it's a wrestling match, but the judge, she's not having it. That's not something that we would do here at the arraignment. So, what I can do is um ask the court to enter a not guilty plea, that you stand mute, and we can set it for a pretrial.
Do you want to be screened for a court-appointed attorney, or would you like to operate in pro per and represent yourself?
I'm going to represent myself.
Very good. I have a mailing address of 1950 Alden Highway. Is that correct?
That is correct. All right. Do you have an email you'd like to list with the court?
No, ma'am. I want to put on the record I do not consent to any of this.
Okay. Duly noted.
The next step in the process is going to be a pretrial conference on April 15th at 8:00 a.m.
That will be in person at the courthouse here in Bellaire, and we'll mail another notice to appear to you.
You weren't arrested, but I do have to set a bond. I'm going to set it at $500 personal recognizance bond. So, you don't have to post any money today, but I would ask that you not operate any motor vehicles without proper uh license, registration, and insurance through the state of Michigan, and that you remain respectful of all court staff, servicing care providers, and obey all lawful commands.
I appreciate you being here this morning, and please don't forget to get your fingerprints taken.
If you'd like, you can do that this afternoon or if you want to make one trip and do that on the 15th, we could accommodate that as well.
Thank you for being here.
Okay, hold on. This dude's trying to dismiss the whole case right here. Lack of jurisdiction, he says like it's a magic spell. Nah, not today my guy. Then he's like, I'm going to represent myself. Classic move. Bro really thought he's the star of Law & Order. And wait for it, the judge sets a bond but says you don't have to pay? Plot twist. But the best part, the judge gently reminding him to get his fingerprints taken. Like, please don't ghost on us.
Yo, if you're still awake, smash that like and subscribe for more courtroom chaos.
