Our show is now proudly sponsored by WebGate IT Solutions - stretching your IT dollar further. If you are looking for any IT experts please contact the guys at www.webgate.net.au My name is Mike and I'm joined again this week by Brenton. (Introduce Brenton - they say Hi) As I explain at the start of every show, I have been working with the guys at Aussie Speeding Fines for a number of years now, promoting the excellent work that they do informing and educating the motoring public about their rights. And, in conjunction with a number of different groups, we have now formed the new Know Your Rights group and we are committed to finding new ways to wake people up to the truth in regards to what is really going on in the world. We would especially like to thank John, who runs RAT FM for this great opportunity to do these broadcasts over his new digital radio network. This is now our 24th official broadcast and our first show back for 2015. We would like to welcome any new listeners to the show and extend a very warm welcome back all our regular listeners as well. For those of you who are new to our show and our website, you will find a copy of all of our previous broadcasts on our Radio Show page – http://www.knowyourrightsgroup.com.au/radio-show/ - and you can access those podcasts completely free of charge. Those podcasts include a wide range of topics and interviews and cover things like: unjust and unlawful traffic fines, the ultimate banking fraud, why personal tax is voluntary and the fact that the ATO is not a legal entity and the importance of the Commonwealth Constitution. So there's lots of great information up on-line now for all listeners – new and old alike - to refer to in case you have missed anything or want a refresh on a topic we have previously covered. Brenton asks - "So Mike, just remind our listeners again what the purpose of these broadcasts is all about". 2 As always, the point of these broadcasts is to inform and educate people about the truth and about their rights. It still amazes and concerns me how many people are still brainwashed by the government propaganda about things like speeding fines - "Speed Kills" and "Every K over is a killer", people who still don't see that 9/11 was an inside job or understand the fraud that is perpetrated by the banking elite every day. And, once people do get their head around some of those basic truths, we want to give people strategies and techniques for taking action against these injustices and helping to set things right again. So, in order to achieve that outcome, we will be doing these broadcasts every week on Tuesday night between 8 and 10pm and we would love to receive listener's feedback and any questions they may have or suggestions for topics they would like us to cover via e-mail at knowyourrights@ratfm.com or feel free to sms us at 0412 711 755 or call us on (03) 9017 5093. I must make note at this point that nothing discussed during this broadcast or any future broadcasts is in any way deemed to be or is to be taken as legal or financial advice - we are neither lawyers nor financial planners - and everything covered is to considered as educational and entertainment content only. So, there has obviously been a lot going on since our last show went to air in December last year and 2015 is going to be a very big year, for a number of different reasons, and we have a lot of info to cover. Before I officially start this week’s show, I want to give everyone a quick overview of what we are going to cover because there is so much important info and we don’t want anyone to miss out. First off, and I want to discuss some of the things that we have planned for this year, some of the events that Brenton and I will be having this year, as well as the future of the Know Your Rights group, these broadcasts and what we need from people out there if these shows, and the group as a whole, is going to continue and grow this year, as we would obviously like it to. Secondly, we have a number of very important media articles that came across my desk over the course of the past month that I want to discuss in greater detail because I believe that they are relevant to most of our listeners. We have also locked in the venue for our Brisbane seminar which is happening in less than 2 week’s time – on the 31st of January – so we’ll be talking a bit more about that a little later in the show as well. 3 And, finally, after all that, if we still have some time, we will be reverting back to our previous show format and answering a whole heap of questions that people have posted to our various Facebook groups and I know Brenton has been busy over the past month collecting all of those and putting them all together so we will slowly but surely be making our way through those over the course of the next few weeks. So, to begin with, as I just mentioned, I want to start by covering some of the changes that will be happing this year and this first of those is in regards to our weekly podcasts. Last year, we uploaded the edited podcasts – with all the songs taken out – along with a copy of our actual show notes – to our Members area within a day or so of the show going to air and then, a few days later, we uploaded the free version of the podcast to our Radio Show page. Unfortunately, as a result, we found that the number of live listeners to our shows dropped off significantly, as it seemed like people were just waiting to download the podcasts to listen to them in their own time. Now, we certainly acknowledge that we had a number of technical issues with the show during the course of last year – internet dropouts, people not being able to log in live, the on-going issues with the phone system and the like. The good news is that all of those issues have now been fixed and there should be nothing stopping people from listening in live this year. Also, as we have explained before, RAT FM stands for Rock and Talkback and, this year, we want to have a lot more interaction with our listeners and really bring the show to life and that obviously can’t be done if people are just waiting for the podcasts to come out and listening to the show after the fact. The podcasts are a great way to catch up on any info that you may have missed or that we may have covered too quickly but there is simply no substitute for listening in live so, we will now be uploading the free podcasts a week or two after the show to encourage people to listen in live and to really participate in the show. We will, of course, still be uploading the edited podcasts to our Members area straight away so for those who enjoy accessing our shows in the shortest possible time, with the added benefit of no music interruptions and having access to printed copies of our notes as well, that will still be available through the Members page. We are also looking forward to making full use of our phone system this year and interviewing a number of people from around the country and, hopefully, even overseas. 4 This will really help us tap into the wealth of information that is out there in regards to helping people know and understand their rights and this will give a lot of our listeners access to information that they otherwise would have found very difficult to come by. It’s also another reason why listening in live each week is going to be so crucial this year, because we will open up the phones to give our listeners a chance to ask questions from our guest speakers as well, and that, again, simply won’t be possible if you only listen into the podcasts after the fact. Now, I also mentioned just before that it’s going to be a very big year and both Brenton and I have some pretty major life events happening this year. For those of you who don’t yet know, Brenton is getting married later in the year and my partner and I are having another baby so it’s going to be a big year for both of us. That also means that we are both going to be under a lot of pressure this year because both weddings and babies cost a significant amount of money, require a lot of time, effort and energy to prepare for and there are going to be a lot of additional demands on both of us. Now, we are both committed to running these shows each week and helping spread the word and expose people to the truth, but, we can only invest the time, effort, energy and money required to do that, if it is worth our while to do so. So, that means that we need to know that people are actually listening in each week, giving us feedback and working with us to build and grow the Know Your Rights group. We started the group from basically nothing just on 6 months ago and, as I said earlier, this is now our 24th broadcast, we have already run our first official seminar and we have two more booked in – which we’ll talk about in greater detail a little later – and we also have around 3,200 Facebook group members which is all very exciting. But, this year, we really need to take that to the next level and we need to know that the efforts that we are putting in each and every week to bring you these live broadcasts are being recognised and appreciated. And that people are actually using the information that we are giving them to bring about some real change because, that is obviously our ultimate goal. I’m sure I have discussed before about the concept that knowledge is power but, in fact, that is not actually correct, knowledge put into action is power and that’s what we need to get people to do this year. We’re happy to do the work and provide the knowledge and information but we need people to actually take action and put that knowledge and information to good use. 5 And, whilst we don’t like mentioning it, the reality is that preparing and running these weekly shows costs time and money – something that will be in even shorter supply for us this year than last, with the events that we have going on. People need to comprehend just how much work goes into producing these shows each and every week. The time, effort, energy and cost of constantly researching, updating our websites and putting these shows together in a logical format week in and week out is something that people just don’t; seem to understand and the simple fact is that we can’t keep doing it for nothing. We both want to inform and educate people about what’s going on in the world but this year, more than ever, we have our own families to look after and attend to. There’s simply no point going to extraordinary lengths to help other people at the sacrifice of our own lives and our own families. So, we are going to need your support this year more than ever. We will need a lot more Members, we will need a lot more regular donations and we will be looking at bringing a number of sponsors on board to help, not only u, but John as well, who also invest an incredible amount of time, effort, energy and money into keeping the RAT FM studio going. So, I’m going to give everyone a head’s up here and now on the 20 th of January – we will continue doing what we are doing for the next 6 months and then I will be taking a break for a few months to look after my partner and our newborn baby. If we come back on the air again after that point will depend completely on you, our listeners. We do want to help you and we do want to make a difference but, as Tom Cruise said in the movie, Jerry Maguire, you need to help us to help you. So, as I said before, there are going to be a number of changes this year and we are going to endeavour to pack each show with even more information that we did last year. So, before we get into this week’s show in earnest, if you have any friends or family members that may not have tuned in yet, jump on the phone or post a message on Facebook, send them a quick text message or an email and remind them that our show is on live, right now, in case they forgot. Tell them to go to our website and click the Radio Show tab and listen in - or they can even listen on their mobile device now via Tune In as well. We're going to play a couple of songs now to give you a chance to do that and we will be back with some exciting new information shortly. Play 2 songs 6 Okay, as I said before the break, I want to go through a couple of media articles that came across my desk over the last month that I think will be of interest – or at least I believe that they should be of interest – to a lot of our listeners. The first one is the story about the Block Their Shot campaign that was in the media and being promoted on Facebook. The guys had almost 50,000 likes and I personally think it is a brilliant idea and can’t understand why on earth people were spouting crap in the media about it being dangerous. We all know how frustrating it is to be driving down a busy road or freeway and all of sudden there is a line of cars banked up in front of you for seemingly no reason. 5, 10 or 15 minutes down the road, you see that a single car either broke down or was involved in an accident and everyone slowed down to check it out as they went past. So, why are there idiots in the media suggesting that people setting up their cars to block camera cars is somehow going to cause people to speed up when exactly the opposite can be seen to happen almost any day of the week. I believe that if people see a broken down car on the side of the road, they will either stop to help or, at the very least, slow down to make the area safer – and, after all, isn’t that what speed cameras are supposed to be there for! Of course, the police and the governments aren’t happy because they’re losing tens of thousands of dollars in revenue but it’s been going for a little while now and I haven’t heard of a single accident occurring at any one of those sites so I dare say that, form a road safety perspective, the block their Shot campaign is working extremely well. Now, this brings me to my next point. When the money stops rolling in, the government reacts – they have to, we have cut off their supply. Now, in this instance, they reacted by arresting the guy who started the campaign. The beauty is that doesn’t seem to have slowed down the campaign at all and, the more the media talks about it – even with their negative spin and propaganda, the more people hear about it and, hopefully, act on it. The point is that it is making an impact and a difference. Now, this is exactly the same principle behind what the guys at Aussie Speeding Fines are doing with their e-book – informing and educating motorist about their rights and teaching them how to fight back and challenge any unjust and unlawful traffic fines that they receive and, in the same way as the Block their Shot campaign, they are stopping money from rolling into the government coffers and, sooner or later, they will have to react and start taking notice of some of the true road safety strategies and initiatives that the ASF guys have had up on their Vision for the Future page for many years now. 7 If you haven’t got a copy of their e-book yet or you haven’t; yet read over some of their proactive and well thought out ideas, please be sure to do so. As many of you know, I have been a long time supporter of the guys at ASF and I think they do a brilliant job and I simply cannot recommend their work highly enough and encourage all our listeners to support them and join them and help bring about the many changes that they stand for. Now, speaking of supporting the guys at Aussie Speeding Fines, I’m not sure if you saw the interview that I did on A Current Affair right at the end of last year – if you want to see it there is a link to it in the last e-mail update that the ASF guys sent out that you can find by going to their news/updates page and just scroll through the 31st of December update which is at the top of the 2014 Updates page. The reason I mention that interview is because of the outrageous story behind it – where a police officer in Melbourne – and it was an experienced Sergeant, mind you, not a young Constable, admitted in open court, that it was more important to remain hidden than it was to get an accurate reading – can you believe that! Now, let me make sure you understand this point fully – he actually took the stand, in open court, and, when he was questioned he stated that he had to stay hidden because, if he didn’t, then the driver might have slowed down! What the??? Isn’t that the whole point of speed detection – to cause people to slow down!! But, it gets even worse than that because when he was questioned further, the admitted that because of his position – hidden some 10 metres away from the edge of the road, behind some trees – he was unable to get the full 3 second lock that he was required to and tried pathetically to suggest that it was more important to stay hidden than it was to get an accurate reading. It was quite funny because when the crew from A Current affair came over to interview me about the story, I asked if they were going to actually interview the cop himself and they said that they had contacted him and he had no remorse what-so-ever and was more than happy to talk on camera but we wasn’t allowed to and that the police media people would appoint someone to talk on his behalf – someone who wasn’t going to put his foot in his mouth again and alienate the entire community form the police all together. Interestingly, the guy that they brought on in his place tried to justify it by suggesting that maybe the cop was hidden for safety reasons despite the officer admitting in open court that he did it purely to raise revenue. 8 Now, it’s important to note that, as I stated to both the Herald Sun reporter, who first spoke to me about this story – and the Current Affair team, I am not at all surprised that this cop said what he did because I know for a fact that this kind of thing goes on every day and that is how these cops are trained – what surprises me is that the idiot said it in open court, on the record! The bigger issue is that this is how blatant and brazen they are getting now – the government and police treat us all like apathetic morons – which, sadly, many people are – and, more and more, they openly admit that what they are doing is just one big revenue raising scam but people are still too scared, brainwashed or apathetic to do anything about it. Personally, I can’t understand why everyone in the country doesn’t have the ASF e-book and why more people don’t; challenge their fines. Even the media have admitted that the percentage of people that challenge their fines and beat them is actually quite high but the percentage of people that actually bother to challenge their fines in the first place is still very low. With resources such as the ASF e-book, all the information that we provide in these broadcasts and on our websites and the work that people like the CLRG guys do, we just can’t understand how this is allowed to go on in this day and age. There has been another article or story, whatever you want to call it, that has been going around the Facebook groups quite regularly, which is form the ex police prosecutor by the name of Stan, who details, step-by-step,. Why everyone should fight every fine they get. Now, for the people who don’t know, as the spokesperson for ASF, I actually spoke to Stan – and no, that’s not actually his real name, he asked me to change it – and I was the one that convinced him to write that extensive e-mail. If you haven’t seen it yet, jump on the ASF Advanced membership website because that’s where it was originally uploaded to. Anyway, the point is that things are getting completely out of control now and we need to collectively do something about it and start fighting back. I even heard a story where people were now being issued with fines because the visors that they put on their motorbike helmets did not have the correct Australian Standard sticker on them. Look, I ride a motorbike myself and I understand the importance of having an approved helmet but, surely, having some kind of helmet would be better than having no helmet at all. But, with these fines, the police are saying that they would rather motorcyclists ride into the sun with no protection at all rather than use something that doesn’t have a sticker on it – on a visor of all things. It’s just absurd! 9 Okay, so that’s my rant on those points for the moment but please, do take note of what I have said and, more importantly, take action because that’s the only way we’re gonna stop this insanity. So, now I want to quickly talk about our upcoming seminars for a minute, before our next break. For those of you who are new listeners, we ran our first official, Know Your Rights seminar in Melbourne on the 15th of November last year and it was a huge success. There was a great turnout of people, we got some fantastic feedback and we have included some statements and even some video testimonials from some of the attendees on our Seminar page. We took that feedback and we have added to and improved the content of our seminar and our next one is being held in Brisbane in just under 2 weeks time – on Saturday the 31st of January at the Moorooka Community Centre, which is about 10 or 15 minutes south of Brisbane. Now, we actually sent out an e-mail last week to everyone who is registered on our database to let them know that the venue had now been locked in and a handful of people e-mailed us back with concerns that the date that we had selected – which, mind you, we selected in early December last year – was now the polling date for QLD residents. Our first and most obvious reply to those e-mails is that if that is a genuine concern to you then you, of all people need to attend our seminar. We have a number of segments on the Constitution and government, as well as other sections on defeating fines as well. So, first and foremost, why would you even consider giving your “vote of confidence” – because that is, after all, what a vote is – to any one of the puppets up for election? Secondly, once you go through the section in our seminar on UniDroit and learn how private laws have been brought into Australia by the powers-that-be and how whoever is voted in is nothing more than a spokesperson for the Vatican, you will never even consider voting again. And, even if this is all very new to you and you are just starting off down the path learning about and understanding your rights, we can show you very quickly how to successfully challenge any “failure to vote” fine and would recommend that you invest the time in attending our seminar, instead of standing in line to vote for someone that, in our opinion, does not deserve that vote in the slightest! So, please, if you haven’t yet booked your ticket, please go to our seminar page - www.knowyourrightsgroup.com.au/seminar - and do so right away. The tickets are just $150 and that gives you entry to the full day of information plus a copy of the 50+ page workbook – which contains copies of all our PowerPoint 10 slides, as well as space to make all your own notes and it also gives you the opportunity to answer any questions about any of the topics that we cover, that you may have, on the day as well. This really is exceptional value and implementing just one of the many strategies that we discuss on the day would very easily save you 10 times the cost of the ticket to attend. Again, we need to remind people that the actual cost of the flights and accommodation for the speakers, the cost of hiring the hall and all the audio visual equipment, the cost of printing the professionally printed and bound workbooks is all well in excess of the ticket price. We need to fill these seminars, otherwise, the reality is that they will cease as quickly as they started. We currently have our Sydney seminar locked in for Saturday, the 21st of February – we are yet to finalise a venue but we hope to do that in the next week or so – but, again, to do that effectively, we need to get an accurate idea of numbers so we need people to book their tickets now and not leave it until the last minute. We have a new seminar flyer made up for the Brisbane seminar and we ask you to please download that and pass it onto anyone you know who might like to learn about their rights and urge them to purchase their ticket sooner rather than later. Quite simply, if we don’t at least get the numbers that we had for our Melbourne seminar then we just won’t be running any more seminars in the future or in other States. So, once again, the future of those seminars, like these broadcasts, is in your hands. Okay, we’re going to play a couple more songs now and give you a chance to either book your seminar tickets or, at the very least, send off an e-mail or print off a flyer and help us spread the word about our upcoming Brisbane and Sydney seminars and we’re going to come back and go through some of the Facebook questions and posts that Brenton put together over the past month or so. Play Songs Go through Facebook questions and answers. Play 2 songs 11 As I mentioned on our last show last year, we have been grinding away for the past 6 months to get the Know Your Rights Group up and running and to get a bit of a following and some momentum behind us, which we have now done so, for us, 2015 is going to be the year to bring about some real change. I also mentioned that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again but expecting a different result. So, it’s important to decide now, at the start of this year, what you want to achieve and be part of in 2015. Do you want more of the same – higher taxes, increased fines, less freedom, more invasion of privacy or, do you want to educate yourself, learn about your rights and then stand up for them and fight back against injustice, taking a stand for yourself, your children and your children’s children and to feel a sense of power, confidence and freedom like you have never felt before. If you choose the latter then be sure to work with us in 2015, be sure to tell your friends and family about us and start taking some action now to make this year different to last year. By all means, you can start off small if you like – go to the local government class action page and take 30 seconds to sign up to that. Download and send off the letters to your local MP from our Local Government page. Write a letter to your bank regarding your mortgage insurance or your Certificate of Title – if they don’t apply to you, speak to your friends and family and find out who has a mortgage and get them to send those letters off. Contact the guys at Aussie Speeding Fines and ask them to send you out a bunch of business cards and bumper stickers – they don’t cost anything and you can help spread the word and let the many people out there who still don’t realise, that they do have options, they can actually challenge their fines, often very simply – it doesn’t cost money, you don’t need a lawyer and the feeling of power and freedom that comes from successfully defeating an unjust and unlawful fine is something that you simply have to experience for yourself to truly understand and appreciate. Then, if you want to do even more, sign up for the Aussie Speeding Fines ebook, watch the Strawman videos and research that concept on-line. Order your tickets for our upcoming seminars and speak to the guys at Operate in the Private about setting up a private foundation – take some new action to make 2015 your year rather than just another year of money grabbing and control by the powers-that be. 12 The guys at Aussie Speeding Fines have asked me to quickly mention their affiliate program again. So, just very quickly, if you go to their website www.Aussiespeedingfines.com you will find an affiliate link and if you join their affiliate program you can actually earn a full 33% commission on every single member that you refer to them. So, if you joined up as an e-book member and then referred just three people who, in turn, also joined up as e-book members, then your e-book membership would, essentially, be free. This is a really great way to help out your fellow motorists, by directing them towards information that is going to educate and inform them about their rights and also earn a great little income on the side. If anyone has a large database or a website that gets a lot of hits then this is a great opportunity to help them spread the word and make some serious cash as well. As I said before, in my view, every man or woman who travels in an automobile should have a copy of the Aussie Speeding Fines e-book in their glovebox – it’s just that simple. Make full use of all the information that is already on our website and the ASF website too - there is a ton of free information available, people can access and download all of our podcasts, the ASF site has probably even more free info than ours does. The point is that there is a wealth of information available and it is all easily accessible on just 2 websites – you just need to actually access it, learn it and then use it! As I mentioned earlier in the show, we are looking at new ways of generating some cash flow to ensure that we can continue running these weekly radio shows right throughout the year and organising some great guest speakers as well. We also need to continue researching for our shows and so that we can also update our website with the latest, cutting edge information and strategies for learning about and standing up for your rights. In particular, we have spoken about sponsors for the show and many of you will have now noticed some of the professional ads that we have playing throughout our show. Again, this is an incredible ground level opportunity for any small to medium sized businesses to get involved before things really take off. We have shows on every night on RAT FM now and day time spaces are looking to be filled soon as well so your ads will be heard many times throughout the day and will reach a wide range of people. Each week we try and put something new in place to make our show that little bit more professional and, we now have our introduction song – “We’re not gonna take it anymore” which you will now hear at the start of each show and 13 many of you will have noticed the extra info that has now been edited into that song as well. We also have an official slogan now – “Those who don’t know their rights have none” and now we have the new phone system working as well. All the RAT FM shows are moving to a whole new level of professionalism and now we have the new, fully functioning phone system as well. So, if you or your company would like to be involved at this time, please send John an e-mail directly at sponsorship@ratfm.com so he can fill you in on the finer details. And, finally, as I mentioned in previous shows, we have now launched the new Know Your Rights membership area, where people can now access mp3 downloadable podcasts without the music, as well as the notes for each broadcast as well. We are still toying around with the idea of a Know Your Rights e-book and we welcome any other thoughts and suggestions you may have for us to generate some extra cash flow in a way that represents excellent value for money for our listeners. Please feel free to email those ideas through to us at feedback@knowyourrightsgroup.com.au Again, we would like to take this opportunity to point out that whilst we do appreciate your emails and suggestions throughout the week, we do not always get the chance to respond to them individually so please note that we are not ignoring new we just don’t always get the chance to personally respond to every email we receive. We also note that many people are trying to ask us questions through the Know Your Rights Facebook group and again, we simply do not have the time to personally respond to each of these posts. The Facebook group has been set up more so that our listeners and followers can discuss topics with each other rather than with us directly. And, speaking of our Facebook group, we have reached another milestone this week as we have now achieved over 3,250 members which is absolutely fantastic considering that we only launched our Facebook group about 4 months ago. Our Facebook group is going from strength to strength and we would ask people to keep sharing a link to that group on their Facebook page every week or so to keep it fresh in people’s minds. And, Brenton, I note that Aussie Speeding Fines has now reached over 6,000 members which is sensational news. The more people we can get talking about these topics day in and day out, the more quickly we can make some serious changes to the current corrupt system. 14 As we mentioned on previous broadcasts, our goal is to stop people focusing on football, meat pies and Holden cars and instead, get them focussing on, and talking about, their rights and how to stand up for them and how to exercise them. Okay, we’re going to go to one last, short song break and then we’ll be back to finish off. Play 1 Song We'd like to remind everyone listening that our goal here with these broadcasts is to inform and educate people as to what is really going on in the world and to help people to really "wake up" to the truth that is all around them that they are either blinded or conditioned from seeing. One of the great sites that we have found recently is the Wake up the Sheep website which can be found at www.wakeupthesheep.com They have a number of important stories from around the globe that we simply do not hear about here through our local media and many of them cover topics that people here really should be aware of. One of the challenges that we have is that everyone is at different levels in regards to how "awake" they are or, once they are truly awake, how much they actually know about a particular topic. So, the Know Your Rights Group was put together to create a one-stop website for people to come to regarding some of the most popular topics and we are looking to expand the amount of basic, introductory information that we have on that website and then, once people have their heads around those various topics, they can then go onto dedicated websites such as Aussie Speeding Fines, CLRG and the soon to be developed Bank Secrets Revealed sites to find our more specific detailed information about these various topics. Also, we are slowly but surely building up a regular base of listeners for the Know Your Rights show and we will be doing more research and hopefully talking to some new people about all kinds of topics that concern our freedoms and Constitutional rights so be sure to block off your Tuesday nights between 8 and 10pm and, if you can't listen in live for some reason, be sure to check for our podcasts which will now be uploaded each week so you can listen in to all your favourite parts of the show. As I say each week, these shows don't write themselves, it takes about 4 hours or more each week to prepare for each 2 hour show. We have to research the 15 content and put it all together in a format that flows and makes sense. We do this in addition to trying it upload new information to our website each week or so and, as anyone who is involved in web design knows, there is a fair bit of work involved in setting up and constantly updating a website - writing the content, uploading that, constantly making little changes here and there etc. and this all costs time and money. So, if you enjoy these broadcasts and appreciate all the new information that we keep adding to our Know Your Rights website then please help us out by making a donation via the link on our Home page. Also, if anyone has any related events, meetings, rallies, seminars or anything like that, please let us know here at RAT FM or via the Know Your Rights Group website and we will gladly promote any relevant events during our show and even get you live on air to discuss them.

After all their bs they took $271 directly from my account which is a lot for me. I don't care for money as I understand its false creation but it's the principal of it. This was the response they gave me when I called them out for the criminals they are. Thank you for your email in relation to Enforcement Order (EO) 327311676 > previously Penalty Notice 3101535562, > > Section 73 of the Fines Act 1996 empowers our office to issue an order to garnish the bank account or salary of a person for the purposes of satisfying their outstanding debts. The garnishee order operates as a garnishee order made by the Local Court under Part 8 of the Civil Procedure 17 > Act 2005, and can be issued to an employer or bank, who are then required by law to forward payment to our office; this action attracts a further $65 enforcement fee Paul: I don't necessarily want to go to war with the local government over the legitimacy of parking/speeding fines more I'm looking for a realistic leveraging option to be able to negotiate for a fairer (and cheaper) outcome. Can anyone help with this? Miles: Hi just wondering what rights I have with the meter reader coming onto property without consent or prior notice? And have been asked to call ahead each few months they do come. I often am in my birthday suit like I just was and his eyes must have been painted on as I'm covering my bits and telling him to piss off as am nude. Response 'Ahhh sorry mate I called out(verbally on a five acre property)three times and it doesn't say anything on here about calling before' whilst continuing to walk to me with my dog going off his nut! I know he was doing his job but I don't even know he if was as just bloke in a high vis shirt with a iPad thingy John: Businesses in SA urges Adelaide city council to review parking fines Policy. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/business-sa-urgesadelaide-city-council-to-review-overzealous-parking-fines-policy/storyfni6uo1m1227155299998?sv=29a5b3b28b9d543a3b301f962b83949b&net_sub_uid=970 61609&nk=fc3be54a89c710288f933399cffd9d79 Dimo:3 part question 1:Who out there has the email address of Civic Compliance Victoria? 2:The thieves are running a business of corruption, theft, coercion, extortion and fear. I cannot believe what I'm reading... We will seize your property and sell it because you haven't paid me money? That's sounds like the making of organized crime to me.... 3: Ok lets see if we have better feedback here... 18 Brain teaser. You tick Statement 4 then go to D. Now please advise what is reasonable and diligent and what are exceptional circumstances according to their rules? Fines: Ross: In Queensland (and much-like other states, I believe) SPER appear to be losing the battle big-time in the collection of fines. Debt itself may even now be being "sold off" to third party private collection agencies. < ............ The government recently passed legislation to allow private debt collectors to begin chasing outstanding SPER debts, which in 2013 grew to $774,703,548. > In another article, post-code figures are shown and split and there's also mention of the amendment to the SPER legislation. 19 < In total SPER is owed $321,443,184 from 1,280,372 debts registered so far this financial year. In 2013 the SPER debt pool grew to $774,703,548. Earlier this year the government amended the SPER legislation to allow brokers, appointed by the government, to manage a panel of debt collection companies to chase outstanding debts. > 2nd story: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/…/toowoomba-wins-but-cairns… Darren: Could anyone advise me on the powers , parks victoria have ? Do they have a right to issue fines ? If I ride my electric golf cart in a national park can they issue me a fine ? I don't seem to be able to find what powers they have or how I should treat them... ie, do I even have to talk to them when adressed by them, do they have a power to hold me if I choose to leave, when being questioned ...... This is my scooter Chris: 20 Need some advice I have been fighting a parking ticket for over 1and half years. I have moved quite a distance away and they changed my court date for tomorrow without my knowledge. I can't make it I'm a teacher and I have kids to teach and there is nobody to take over my class. This case has been adjourned 4 times now. They even flew the ticket issuing ranger from Perth to Geraldton to testify against my 75 dollar ticket. Funny thing is the car isn't even registered to me and they never even mailed an infringement notice to the registered owner to nominate a driver lol. I just phoned them about the ticket have them my name and they sent me a notice to go to court over a year ago. They even brought in a lawyer for one of the adjournments where we both sat there for over three hours. Anyway I know I would win but am going to get screwed over. Wonder if I can appeal if it goes ahead tomorrow as I can say the registered owner was the driver. Glen: Can a council simply put you into a debt collection agency for disputing a parking fine? I requested the matter be heard by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to my Constitutional rights, and they have forwarded the matter to a debt collection agency without allowing me to have this decided by the court system. What is the next process? Crystal: Can anyone tell me why they wiped off 3ks on one fine but not the other? 21 Mez: A full page on "how cameras work" was sent with the notice, but no photo of my car??? Oh, and the back of the penalty reads: Less than 1% of penalties result in a not guilty verdict in court... so, what about the other X% that result in fines being waived or voided?? This misinformation makes me so mad grrrr! 22 IAAA: Viron: So I just got flashed by a red light camera whilst turning left on a green arrow. Wasn't fully in the turning lane. Probably half in. Am I screwed? Mez: The Imperial Acts Applications Act [sec 43], the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act [sec 115] and the Currency Act [sec 16c] when read in conjunction with each other, provide that the maximum with which to discharge any state debt is the highest value gold or silver coin X 10 1) The Imperial Acts were never valid to begin with because they were a constitutional enactment that didn't go to referendum 2) The Currency Act specifies coin can be used in said amounts as legal tender. it's referring to emptying out your piggy bank at Woolworths instead of bank for example 3) s115 was replaced with the Reserve Bank Act and Currency Act Hi everyone merry Christmas Admin if this is not allowed delete it. 23 Question how often are the roof mounted radar on the country police 4 door utes with dog box 4 wheel drives vehicles tested/recalibrated as going from bitumen onto core gated roads must mess. Them up a bit ....anyone can help with an answer Dan: Does anyone know the facts on Title Deeds? We are no longer issued our title deeds if we have paid out our debt to a financier. It is said to be for protection so title is not lost or manipulated with. Is it perhaps in fact that what people write about us owning nothing be in fact true if we never get our title deeds even if debt is extinguished? Mez: ADR [1]) sets requirements for speedometers installed in vehicles to be used on the road throughout Australia as: “indicate the actual speed, for all speeds above 40 km/h, to an accuracy of ± 10 percent.” http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2007C00025 Police: Harry: 1):So some of you may remember about 6 months ago I was arrested for contravening a police requirement. I was pulled over for a random breath test / licence check, I told the officer I reserved my rights, he said I'm not giving you an option, and then was arrested, Well It was set for a hearing in February but I just found out police prosecution has dropped the case, I'm not sure why, They wouldn't tell me. The only thing I did was speak to the prosecutor at one of the first court dates and politely explain that my rights were violated and I would be taking the matter as far as I could. Now that it is dropped I want to put together a claim against the officers for wrongful arrest and imprisonment (They locked me in the watchouse for 5 hours because I would not sign anything or give them a "proper" name,). Thoughts? Love: 2):Hi all, great group a lot of great info on here, Have just received a notice from the sheriff department NSW stating that state debt recovery has issued a property seizure order for unpaid fine (driving 24 infringements) from years ago. Any advice on the way to respond to this, it's the first I've heard of this matter. John: Just from the top of your ahead answer the following without googling. What is the difference is between detained and arrested? Put yourself on the spot and answer exactly how you comprehend it now. Megs: Did you know if you want to go to a police station and make a statement about a crime you feel has been committed against you that legally police cannot turn you away? They must take your statement!! I had an offer try to refuse early in September/end of August and I stood my ground. As a result I had a man charged with indecent assault, it went to court but police didn't tell me so I was not able to have an advocate attend to take notes on what happened or even a lawyer present. Gordon: Got pulled over about a month ago was towing a cut down ute tray converted to a trailer was pulled over for having an unregistered trailer was asked if I minded them searching my 4x4 and if there was anything in there that shouldn't be there so I let them know that my machetes were in the very back from being out camping the week before and having to salvage a friend’s car that had been written of out the bush they searched the 4x4 then asked me to show were the machetes were so I moved all of my recovery gear and tools to show where they were so I get them taken by the police this is on the Friday morning Monday arvo I get a fine for un-registered trailer and a $1000 fine for possession of a controlled weapon without a lawful excuse now have had un-registered fine dropped due to he never even got a tape measure out but am fighting the controlled weapons charge due to the brief says that the fine was served on the Friday not Monday when I received the fines on Monday can you give me some advice on how to clear my name. 25 Glen: Some info when dealing with the policy enforcers...police. Use a mobile phone to record everything. If the police say you cannot record you say “now I have on record that you either do not know the law or that you are a liar" nice touch that Belinda: Hi l have never asked a question here but can someone pls tell me if my son who has 9months to go before he is fully licenced motorbike rider, which means 0 alcohol, if he turned his bike around in the driveway which has no gates but doesn't do anything else but turn his bike around, is the anything the police can do to him? Brett: Can anyone here provide their opinion or advice on this: Can police confiscate your phone and go through it if they want? John: Hey guys, I need an answer to my question i was travelling along the M1 freeway the other night coming back from my parents’ house at around 9pm and i went to overtake a car that was traveling at 90-95km in a 100km zone as i was over taking i went over the speed limit of about 4km or i think it was 2km as i drive a v6 turbo as I overtook, when i looked in my rear view mirror there was a police motor bike, now.. Can police motor bikes capture your rego and speed or not? He didn't pull me over but he sat behind me for a good 30 seconds then quickly slipped into the lane beside me and sped off at a really fast speed? So do police motor bikes have cameras attached to them or not? Mario: Can anyone confirm on a summons if the persons written name must be spelt as it is on the licence? Brenton: We can talk about the police cars being “sponsored” vehicles https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202784713154896&set=a.34832 61476240.2131518.1112457511&type=1 ASF: 26 Josh: Howdy all, I’m looking for a good template in regards to a "toll notice" that has gone to an "infringement notice". I returned there offer months ago. But recently received an "infringement notice". Thanks in advance Mia: So wife & i have been surprised w/ 5 fines. 1 in Oct and the rest in Nov. We received the 5th just this week. All offences were all on the same intersection in Dandenong corner Stud Rd & Heatherton Rd where there is a camera. The thing is they recently changed the speed limit there from 80 to 60. But once you cross Heatherton Rd heading towards Ringwood not long after the intersection an 80 sign is still up. The funny thing is i have not realised they changed the speed limit so i have been traveling as if it was 80 but on the fines it states alleged speeds of 66, 69, 67, 66 & 65. How can that be when I’ve been driving as if the speed limit was still 80????? I would be doing at least 75 or something. I don’t understand what's going on and why all these fines have come all within 3-4 weeks. I am going to write a complaint and get it reviewed and state the things I’ve written here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Tax: John: ATO (the illegal entity) has a form “Non lodgement advice " My question is, what can you put there as an excuse to never lodge tax returns ever again. So far I am aware that people use excuses such as “spiritual/religious reasons” What other excuse do you think can work? https://www.ato.gov.au/…/MEI/downloads/ind40321n25860614.pdf Misalliance: Andrew: I have just watched the current affair that Mike was on ( i recorded it ) ...... now i am confused as to why Mike wasted his time arguing about bullshit ( in my view ) ( i am not in any way trying to put Mike down for any reason ) but .... He knows that all fines are invalid due to section 109 of the Australian Constitution..... yet he did not state any of this ... he even said that the cops should be more open viewed to the people saying that they should continue to commit treason in the open and not in convert or hidden .... That threw me..... 27 So what if the copper told A Magistrate (singular) that it is OK to go covert..... A single judge cannot judge another.... that judge is committing treason by executing a Start Chamber for a start..... Sorry ...... but one of our brothers has fallen into to the media trap i feel.... Mike please explain... Very lost ... i hope you haven’t lost your way brother..... there has been no speed laws put into power by a referendum of we the people of this land ... no human can tell another how competent they are to drive at what speed .... As long as they cause no harm or death or vandalism or theft and fulfil all their contracts they have broken no law.... Vic Roads or TAC have no authority and cannot control any human being... that is slavery.... oh and they didn’t even say who Mike is or even introduced him to the viewer’s so if i didn’t know who he was i would have most likely thought who the hell is this goose talking in a suit and why has he got the rights to say what he said ... very confusing interview.. Most likely manipulated in some way ... WHEREAS THE PEOPLE... Glen: Just read the latest Watchtower pamphlet and although it has articles concerning religion, I found something called "The poison of government corruption" To quote" Govt corruption has been defined as the abuse of public power for private gain." The abuse has a long history dating back to the bible with reference to a law prohibiting bribery in judicial cases highlighting the practice existed well over 3500 years ago (Exodus 23 verse 8) "While corruption can exist in any human organization, it seems corruption in government is the worst. The 2013 Global Corruption Barometer, published by Transparency International, reports that people worldwide have the perception that the 5 most corrupt institutions are political parties, the police, public officials, the legislature and the judiciary."That report includes myself and no doubt many of you likeminded men and women. Brenton: This would be great to just remind the listeners that they are some body. Picture says “I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that, then I realised, I am somebody!” Glen: Power of the people. Tasmania's Liberal Government tried to pass legislation via Attorney General Vanessa Goodwin, to have mandatory sentencing for protesting. A violation of our rights to disagree with a decision and make a stand. The new so called anti protest bill wasn't passed as people protested against it. So it was basically watered down to a dribble after the tide was turned by enraged electorates. Sometimes it pays to be on the electoral roll even though I think better of my decision to exercise my democratic rights Radim: 28 NSW - Roads and Maritime Services - my questions and their answers Roads & Maritime Services 101 Miller Street North Sydney NSW 2060 Dear Sir/Madam, As per FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 1982 1.

"Let all people who love their people and their country now say, as we say here: THESE FREEDOMS WE WILL STRIVE FOR, SIDE BY SIDE, THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES, UNTIL WE HAVE WON OUR LIBERTY AND IMPROVED THE LIVES OF ALL CITIZENS SO THAT EVERYONE IS TRULY EQUAL IN ALL RESPECTS." Person: Craig: How do i prove to someone that i am a living beneficiary and not a dead/fictitious corporate identity? Is there documentation to supply proof of this? Peter: Just got back from court. Did not go how i imagined. When i handed the magistrate the asserevation i wrote saying i was the beneficiary of the trust etc, he said 'oh dear' then had a flick through it. Then he asked my name. i said peter. Then he cracked the shits and had a winge about what i had just done. then he said well if you’re not PETER VAN EEDE then sit at the back of the court. Then he had another winge and said there would be a bench warrant against PETER VAN EEDE and i would be arrested. he said the last person to do that stayed in custody for 5 days before they changed their story. so i wasn't interested in being arrested right there so i entered the court again and i said my name wast peter Gregory of the van eede bloodline. the magistrate said that’s close enough for me. then the charges were read out. he asked if i understood 30 each one. to which i said no. then he had a go at me saying 'do you have a mental health problem?' the matter has been adjourned to the 29th of jan. the magistrate basically said in his rant that the Law issued Motu Proprio is a load of rubbish and applies only to the religious. Glen: How powerful is your signature? When signing forms for Government agencies where you are instructed to fill in your details in block letters and use only black ir blue ink, I like to fill the form in without block lettering and always sign in red ink. That makes a big difference and I get satisfaction telling the public servant behind the desk when they complain..."you just don't understand you are a servant and always will be unless you fight" I think they hate me. 31
