CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2023 — A deputy drags me into the jail — scarring the tops of my dress shoes — because of a missing 2-square-inch bit red plastic in a taillight damaged Nov. 14 in a tire blowout.

I am the radio investigative reporter who specializes in covering Jim Crow traffic abuses based on presumption, fraud and official ignorance by policy. Deputy Bennett makes 2 significant legal errors, each warned against in administrative notices served on Hamilton County sheriff’s office in Chattanooga, TN.
One notice pertains to the limits on Title 55 motor and other vehicle law. It’s Tennessee transportation administrative notice. An April 2020 notice tells of arrest warrant duties under the TN bill of rights and the exceptions law at TCA 40-7-103. Under notice doctrine, his actions are knowing and intentional harms.
My jailhouse arguments about the Bennett affidavit’s missing essential elements of privilege before magistrate Blake Murchison win only 1 concession: Release on OR (own recognizance). He denies me a copy of the charging instrument, but patiently hears me out; he finds probable cause, and sets a criminal sessions court date.
Hugely, hugely excited that now I have standing to defend in criminal and civil court the right of free movement and communication by car, apart from the “driving is a privilege” enforcement scam. Sheriff Austin Garrett continues SE TN’s defense of Jim Crow and highway brigandage by deputies ultra vires (outside the scope of the law).
Deputy Bennett immediately seizes a 9mm pistol at my waist. Carelessly, he let a far more dangerous weapon get through the sally port and through the jail’s steel door: My bow tie.
Tune in to my show, Tulis Report, live every weekday on NoogaRadio Network (96.9 FM and affiliates). 7 a.m. Why not become a sponsor and support our reform work? I am fighting for you, sir.
You showed great composure in the video which I applaud. Your excitement over now having standing is understood. What strikes fear in my mind and heart is how could they not notice that less than subtle blue bow tie? Do they not understand its significance?
I know a number of individuals, young and old, male and female, who carry a pistol as their norm. It brings more confidence to me compared to seeing someone in uniform doing so, without any disrespect to those in uniform.
Thank you for setting a model of composure and carrying.
I doubt that deputy Bennett can show any authority/jurisdiction with regard to you, the living soul, for the judicial determinations he has made in your regard, and his judicial determination that “driving” is a privilege that you were engaged in. I didn’t notice any evidence for the claims.
Still seems to be false arrest/imprisonment, according to the evidence I saw.
