Sovereign Citizen Claims “No Jurisdiction” — Judge Shuts Him Down Instantly #courtroomdrama #judge

Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]If you didn't really think that we didn't have jurisdiction, then go.

[00:00:03]>> I had to take care of this matter because >> because you don't we have jurisdiction.

[00:00:07]>> No, cuz I was going to go to 515 arrest me and file my lawsuit, my civil lawsuit with the officer, arrest me because they did some unlawful unconstitutional things that they did to me at that time.

[00:00:16]So, I was going to take it there. You know, I didn't believe they had jurisdiction over me.

[00:00:21]>> I wouldn't wait to see how this case goes first before you do that. You know, see how the case goes first before you start jumping the gun.

[00:00:28]>> That's what I was, >> you know. But ultimately, you know, if I didn't think anyone had jurisdiction over me, I'm not going to go there, man.

[00:00:36]I'd have enough important things to do in my life as it is. I mean, you've s you've been sitting here since 8:30 in the morning where it's now nearly 1:00.

[00:00:42]You know what I mean? Really, let's get this thing done. That way, you can move on with your life. We can move on with our life and just everybody be happy.

[00:00:52]That's what it's about. All we want to do is protect our city. That's all we want to do, you know, [snorts] and I'm going to do it at all costs. That's it.

[00:00:59]All right, I'm going to have you sign this affidavit. After that, we'll get you out of here. And um so, Mr. Emit, you are going to have to make a plan to meet with Mr. Petrov here so that you guys can exchange evidence. This is he is our chief DA here. The evidence that's going to present it to you.

[00:01:19]>> You can either do it here in court [clears throat] with us or you can meet with them at their office because you're going to have to get the evidence to look at it regardless. I'm happy to take any motions that you have now and I can look at them and then we can come back at a later date and I can rule in it for you. I see that you have a bunch of papers. I'm happy to take anything that you have and I'll take a look over it.

[00:01:41]You know, >> the clerk last month.

[00:01:43]>> Do you see anything? Which clerk file it?

[00:01:46]>> I have it right here. It was with Marilyn Fergus.

[00:01:51]>> Is that for us? Right.

[00:01:53]>> We would still get it then, right? I don't know.

[00:01:55]>> You filed it under this case number or the felony court case number?

[00:01:57]>> No, I filed it for this one on August 9th. It has I have this case number on there. 2522688.

[00:02:03]>> Yeah, that's it. Oh, no. I don't see anything. Oh, wait a second. I see a motion for discovery. Is that it? It's a motion for discovery.

[00:02:09]>> Yes.

[00:02:10]>> Is that the only one that you've done >> so far?

[00:02:12]>> Okay. I I have to talk to officers and back. You give me five minutes. Let me take a look at it and then I'm going to give you a copy so that you can look at as well. Let me let me print it out.

[00:02:22]Pavvel, you not for you. If you want to just take a look at it real quick. No, I need him to to swear to this, please.

[00:02:27]>> Okay.

[00:02:27]>> I just did just the no driving affidavit. That's it. All right. Come up. Mr. Emit, let's go back. Can we go back on the record?

[00:02:34]>> Going back on the record.

[00:02:35]>> All right. Mr. Emit, I've gotten your motion. Have you read it?

[00:02:39]>> Yes, [clears throat] your read.

[00:02:40]>> And uh your honor, at this time, um the state would state would be able to comply with this order because it's asking for an immediate order of discovery. Sounds like spontaneously.

[00:02:52]Well, other than that >> the opposing party is requirements and it's not the language is not align with procedure or penal con but beyond that the only two uh pieces that are requested that are reasonable um that I can produce with a timeline uh are one and seven.

[00:03:12]>> Mr. Emit, understand that you will get discovery but sometimes it takes time.

[00:03:17]It's not immediate. It takes time to build a case with to get videos, 911 calls, reports from officers. It takes time. It's not immediate. In your motion, I guess it says he wants immediate >> immediate order.

[00:03:31]>> Just no way. We can't >> an inspection. Yeah.

[00:03:33]>> But we will get it to you as as he gets it, he will give it to you. I can grant you the order. I will take off the immediate provision, but I can grant you everything that you want. I'll give you their case file. I can give it to you when they get it.

[00:03:49]>> Yes. Uh but judge, this this discovery order is requesting things outside of the scope of discovery.

[00:03:56]>> Well, I'm not going to give him the kitchen sink. I mean, like what >> everything else? I mean, so one and seven are a line. One is requesting any documents, papers, books, accounts, sorry, letters, photographs, videos, which are body cam, objects, or tangible things not privileged which constitute or contain evidence. Of course, I'm going to hand that over.

[00:04:15]>> Okay. uh to any and all the names of any witnesses the Harris County Superior Court State of Texas.

[00:04:23]>> That's so broad, Mr. Em or any political >> I mean you want every single witness in Harris County. That's what that's asking for.

[00:04:29]>> You have to properly represent myself with the case.

[00:04:32]>> That's 4.2 million people. Really?

[00:04:35]>> So that doesn't it's >> I mean I'm not going to grant that.

[00:04:38]That's silly.

[00:04:38]>> It's too doesn't go. Imagine any and all names of any witness for the Harris County Superior Court, State of Texas, County of Harris, or any political subdivision thereof may have. That's so broad that to even try to comply with that would take years. That's I mean, in relation to this case, yes, nothing else matters. The only thing that matters is this case and nothing else. So, I'm happy to comply with the names of witnesses in this particular case. Yes, I will do that. And I can mark on there for this case only. Are you okay with that, >> your honor? In the event in the event that you were to grant something like that, it would need to be filed by the defendant. The what you're granting is what is written, not what is subsequently modified. [clears throat] >> Okay. I guess >> the language just needs to be Okay. So, what I'm going to tell you is you're right, I mean, right?

[00:05:43]>> I just wanted to clarify that for the record.

[00:05:44]>> You're representing yourself. I can't do the work for you, right? He so kindly is reminding me that because I kind of Right. That's too broad.

[00:05:54]>> We can go down the list if you wish, but >> yeah, let's do it. I mean, we have >> Oh, three. a true and complete original or certified alleged contract with wet ink signatures between the petitioner, the Harris County Superior Court State of Texas and or political subdivisions thereof may have. Law states that in order for the Harris County and he's not he's not even citing law. Uh valid lawful contract between the petitioner, let them bring it forward for petitioners inspection or immediately dismiss all charges. Um, I believe this is going into UCCC. This is not uh >> I mean here you're going into the sovereign citizen type language.

[00:06:34]>> Just tell me law.

[00:06:35]>> Okay, >> your honor. Um, I will not be agreeing to that.

[00:06:38]>> I hear there's no and I mean you're saying a true and complete original andor certified copy of the alleged it's not even spelled correctly contract with wet ink signatures between the petitioner and the Harris County Superior Court. I mean, >> so that um >> and what contract >> contract complaint whatever I know this is statutory and it's not going over common law so I don't not familiar with the statutes like I explained before >> well you're a lawyer now you're going to have to familiar yourself with it >> try me on statues I want to be tried on common law >> you're going to have to do it I'm not there's no common law here it's done by statute no common law here it's all done by statute [clears throat] and since you're the lawyer you need to know that >> I recognize the the steps of the statutory steps. That's why I don't recognize.

[00:07:30]>> Let me ask you this. How on earth are you going to represent yourself if you don't even know that >> I get everything I need in my discovery?

[00:07:37]>> He's not No, he's going to give you body cams. He's going to give you 911 call.

[00:07:43]He's going to give you witness lists and that's it, right? Is there anything else that would be in here? [clears throat] >> I would uh there may be dash cam I need to check. So, I haven't gotten the body cam or dash cam yet. Let me just check what all this >> Mr. Emit I mean, let's get real. If you're having problems with things of this very elementary nature, how you going to represent yourself? I'm happy to give you a lawyer, you know, but some things are just I mean there's no >> we must conclude this hearing with the remainder of the list as well and then we can go into the >> Hold on just so he knows. So number four, a true and complete original and or certified copies of the criminal record of the attorneys of record, judge, magistrate, prom, commissioners, witnesses, as well as all officers of this court. That doesn't apply here really. I mean, you don't my criminal history. You think I have criminal history? Do I need to ask a higher court or court look at this matter or >> I mean you can do anything you want to in life until someone says no right but I don't know where you're going to get I mean appellet courts need jobs to how far you going to get I don't know how much money you going to waste I don't know a true and complete certified copy of all oaths commissions as well as bonds of all officers of the court including but not limited deputies court clerks judges magisters proms commissioners that have or may decide to involve themselves in this matter appointed or elected signed under penalty or perjury on and for the official public record.

[00:09:26]Well, I don't know what bonds you're talking about. What bonds? Like James >> bond bid bonds.

[00:09:31]>> Which ones?

[00:09:32]>> Appearance bond. Bid bonds.

[00:09:33]>> I'm not familiar with that. Affiliation of any and all states witnesses and all officers of the courts. Well, I can't >> say it as opposed. I mean I no really any evidence which in any way is exculpatory to the case. Yes.

[00:09:47]>> Anything in state's possession I'm unopposed to. I will produce anything excession.

[00:09:53]But >> number eight documented proof of claim of injury signed under penalties of perjury with all immunities waved from the judges of this court. Attorneys of record, the Harris County Superior Court, State of Texas County of Harris, as well as this court, and for the official record, documented proof of claim of injury signed under penalties of perjury. So, what are you referring to there? What >> against me? Whoever made the complaint against me, who's the opposing party?

[00:10:24]>> Okay. Well, the Harris County District Attorney's Office, >> they have to complain. Who's the I don't recognize who that is.

[00:10:30]>> What do you mean you don't recognize?

[00:10:33]the state of Texas or Harris counties.

[00:10:35]What was that?

[00:10:36]>> Right. So, they alleged that you did something unlawful. As a result, the officer arrested you and then brought that information all to the Harris County District Attorney's Office and then they in a twoprong matter. Number one, I found probable cause in this case and then a grand jury. All right, this is where things start getting legally intense. The defendant is challenging jurisdiction. A classic sovereign citizen argument. But here's the reality. Courts don't just opt out because someone doesn't recognize them. Jurisdiction is determined by law, not belief. So the big question is, does he realize the uphill battle he's walking into?

[00:11:22]>> Indited you on your felony case. So the Harris County >> I haven't been indicted on that. I just came from upstairs. I haven't been indicted on that case yet.

[00:11:30]>> Has it been indicted or no? Well, I mean they have I think up to 180 days to indict you, but um Okay. Um I mean I guess would it be the information is that he's asking for that you want the charging instrument I guess is what you want, >> your honor. Yeah, I think it's just a >> misunderstanding. Um but uh if it were rephrased correctly, I can better understand what is being asked and therefore that's why I cannot agree to this order because I get it, but I'm trying to go through it with him so that he understands >> if it aligns with what if it aligns with something I can understand. Sure. I mean, I I can understand what's being asked and then I can turn it over, but I don't have that. This is not that.

[00:12:10]>> Yeah, there's a lot of stuff here, you know. Um, >> yeah, I don't know what's not being understood >> here. Let's go through number 13 just because it's a there's a lot here that you got 16 and it's already 13. the CUSIP number tied to this case which will show that this court and or officers of the court are profiting off this case and it is trading on the stock market on and for the official public record.

[00:12:38]>> Mean I am the trustee for the name right here beneficiary for their name.

[00:12:44]I've been the trustee. I have my my paperwork that I need to prove to the court >> and that may well be good for federal stuff but not us. This is state. A copy of all officers of the court registration report and profile which is registered under Dun and Brad Street on and for the official public record.

[00:13:04]You're going to have to go through this motion more. It needs to be more specific. I'm [clears throat] >> just for the record's purposes to say as opposed to this motion in its entirety at this time. So not one in seven, >> not with the media, not that language, right? Modify that.

[00:13:19]>> So it needs to be more specific.

[00:13:21]>> Now we're stepping into discovery and this is crucial. Discovery is the backbone of any case. But demanding everything immediately, that's not how the legal system works. Evidence takes time to gather, process, and verify. So when a judge pushes back here, it's not denial, it's procedure. And honestly, some of these requests are so broad, they border on impossible.

[00:13:47]>> You need to have a more realistic guideline. They can't give you stuff immediately because he may not even have it in his possession. So, I can't order him to give you something that he doesn't have in his possession.

[00:13:58]>> How soon can they get my next court date? Will they have it or how soon?

[00:14:02]>> I don't I don't even know.

[00:14:04]>> Body cam and dash. Um, I can escalate that by the next uh court date. the lab.

[00:14:10]I'm unsure of a timeline at this time.

[00:14:12]The lab of the marijuana substance.

[00:14:15]>> Okay? And I'm going to tell you now, it takes a lot. It takes quite a while to get labs done because I mean, you imagine we live in a city with 4 million people. Do you know how many people get arrested with illegal illegal substances that have to be tested? You get in line in front of everybody else.

[00:14:33]>> I have the lab results from the store that I got it from. at the store that is in the lab result papers that they got it from in Houston. So I could submit that as well if you if it makes it quicker. I know you still have >> I know that you're saying that but there's remember there's always two sides to the story.

[00:14:49]>> Sure.

[00:14:49]>> So they need to test what they have to see what that is and it's going to take a while but it'll get done. You just be patient but it'll get done.

[00:14:57]>> At this point we are pending body dash in the lab. That is what discovery is pending in. Typically what we do is we'll set it out 30 days and then we'll just have you come back and when you come back in 30 days we'll see where they are and then at that time you guys can make a plan to go over the evidence and I'm not going to give him a copy though. He's just going to have to review it.

[00:15:18]>> I believe it's it's subject to inspection.

[00:15:21]>> Right. So you're going to have to come bring a computer >> is it it's not through VHS it's through >> I'm unaware. I'll familiarize myself more before the export date of the transfer of >> You're going to probably need to bring yourself a computer that has a CD ROM because usually they have stuff on CDROM drives or on on CDs that that you're going to have to be able to look at it.

[00:15:44]Any kind of dash cam, any kind of body cam, they usually put it on.

[00:15:48]>> Here comes a pivotal moment. The judge is about to impose a bond condition. No driving without a valid license and insurance. This isn't random. It's about public safety. Courts often attach conditions like this to prevent further legal risk. But watch closely because this is where ideology and law are about to collide hard >> on a CDROM or on a CD for you to be able to look at it. The only other thing I need you to do is I need you to swear to us that you're not going to drive. I am making it a condition of your bond.

[00:16:19]>> I hold that until I put all this off of my paperwork. I don't drive. I go my driver's license. I have my passport that I do.

[00:16:26]>> N I need you to do it now.

[00:16:28]Okay, I need you to do it and I'm making it a condition of your bond that you sign the document that you're not going to drive convey >> contractor doesn't say anything or agreement say anything like that because I'm still trying to see the >> I'm going to revoke your bond if you're not if you don't sign it I'm going to revoke your bond that's it >> I got to be forced to sign that if I don't sign it I can't have the option to take that paper >> oh no I'm you don't have to sign it but I'm going to revoke your bond sorry >> because I am ordering you as a condition of your bond not to drive, convey, travel, any way you want to put it behind the wheel of a car in Harris County, Texas, unless you are properly licensed with a Texas driver license and liability insurance in your name.

[00:17:16]>> I go by my US passport now. I don't go by my Texas driver.

[00:17:21]>> Nevertheless, I'm having you sign a document that you understand and that you promise that you're not going to do it. I don't understand your full legal.

[00:17:28]That's fine.

[00:17:29]>> If you don't, that's okay, buddy. I'm going to revoke your bond. And that's it. Correct. If you don't have to sign it, you know the consequence. You're hearing it now. If you've never heard it before, you're hearing it now for the entirety of the case. And if you get your driver's license and show me that you have >> I'm not a commercial driver. I don't I don't engage in commerce. I don't do anything. Do you think that the 5-year-old kid that gets hit and killed in a car or the 69year-old grandmother that ends up paralyzed from an accident cares whether you were conveying whether you were in commerce non-commerce injuries don't care whether you're conveying whether you're traveling >> and there it is the philosophical clash right to travel versus traffic law this argument shows up a lot but legally speaking courts consistently reject it driving isn't just a Right. It's a regulated activity. The judge isn't debating theory here. He's focused on real world consequences. And honestly, his example about accidents, that it's hard.

[00:18:32]>> Accidents happen whether you're conveying, whether you're driving, whether you're traveling, that doesn't care, right? When you get into an accident, it doesn't matter in what method you're doing it. An accident is just that. And if you have an accident, I want to make sure that the other party will be taken care of. I'm only asking you to follow the law. I'm not asking you to split the atom here.

[00:18:58]Great.

[00:19:00]>> I'm asking you to sign this. If you don't, you don't have to, but I'm going to revoke your bond. That's it. And um Mr. Emone, if you get a Texas driver's license and you get insurance, I won't take this deal off.

[00:19:13]>> That's what I believe in and that's believes the constitution. I don't was it >> that's okay.

[00:19:18]>> Trying to apply that. I need to get a license insurance and I would used to be a commercial driver for this thing. I don't commercial drive anymore. I don't do medical transportation. I'm just a >> Did you hear what I said about an accident about whether you're convenient?

[00:19:31]>> Exactly what you mean about the accident.

[00:19:32]>> Okay.

[00:19:32]>> I know if I was to get on the accidental road with no insurance, I could get sued and it'll be a civil matter and I go to jail. I understand that. That's why I drive. I travel very cautious. I don't >> You just SAID I DRIVE. I DRIVE. You said the magic words.

[00:19:44]>> I love to drive. Come on. Don't be Helen Keller. Come on. And I'm trying to protect all of Harris County.

[00:19:50]>> You're protecting you. I'm protecting all the 4.2 million people here. That's what I'm doing. Because if you get into an accident, I know that you're not going to be out a dime out of your pocket. But all those other people, they're going to be out a crapload of money. And I'm going to do everything on my power to protect every single person of Harris County. And I don't care if I offend you. I don't care if I make you mad. I don't care if it your sensibilities are upset. Don't care. I don't. All I want is every person protected and that's it. And I'm doing what the law requires. I'm not asking you to do anything that's not outside the law. And you as a the lawyer should be able to look it up and see because it's all in the transportation code. So you can sign it. If you don't, I'll have you meet with Stephen. That's it. And they're reserved.

[00:20:46]>> I'm waving my rights to the court.

[00:20:48]>> No.

[00:20:49]>> That's waving my rights. Contract is >> what? Why are you waving?

[00:20:53]>> My right to travel. That's infringing my right to travel with the Constitution.

[00:20:57]>> No. No.

[00:20:58]>> To dodge PAS.

[00:20:59]>> I don't know what that means.

[00:21:00]>> Happy trails. Use your feet. You can travel with your feet.

[00:21:03]>> I can't. I live in Austin. I don't live in Houston.

[00:21:06]>> Take a bus. Take an Uber. But I want to make sure if you're caught driving, I'm going to put you in jail and I'm going to make your bond so high you will spontaneously combust because I want you to understand that I mean business and I'm protecting every single person I can. That's it.

[00:21:24]>> To sign this right now.

[00:21:25]>> No. No.

[00:21:27]>> Me jail or arrest if I don't sign this right.

[00:21:29]>> Correct.

[00:21:30]>> That is correct. That's correct.

[00:21:31]>> Imprisonment if I don't sign this. This is on the record.

[00:21:35]>> It's on a record. I have a reporter right here and it's on video. Can you file the bond conditions as well? No driving without a license, please.

[00:21:43]>> Just sit right here.

[00:21:44]>> That and I'm going to have them file it just and so I can give you a copy as well.
