CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Saturday Sept. 7, 2024 – The mail room at the Tennessee department of revenue contractor is busy every Monday morning getting together that day’s mail, operating as a hot rake upon the people in Tennessee destined to receive them 3 or 4 days later.
By David Tulis
This morning 6,000 notices are going out to people under the department revenues Eye of Sauron operation, called EIVS, acronym for electronic insurance verification system, the means by which DOR enforces “mandatory insurance” in a voluntary insurance state whose citizens have known nothing different.
Every Wednesday the same procedure takes place.
The vendor serving DOR sends out 6,000 letters by way of notice to a randomly selected pool of motor vehicle owners who have their cars registered with the department for use as motor vehicles. The notices are any one of four that the person “unconfirmed” for insurance will receive if that person does not obtain insurance or alternative proof of financial responsibility.
According to my lawsuit, David Jonathan Tulis v. department of revenue, the agency is running a shakedown of the public apart from the law.
It is using Eye of Sauron technology that searches 350 insurance company databases and matches VINs with insurance policies. If a car is determined not to be covered by insurance, that person is subject to revocation that concludes a barrage of four letters.
1 in 6 cars ‘uninsured’
6.34 million cars are registered has motor vehicles with the department through the registration process. More than a million people are “unconfirmed,” and it’s only a matter of time before a motorist gets targeted by what an agency official calls a random drawing from the pool.
Registration is required for all people who use their cars for hire by carrying other goods or people for private profit and gain. The fraud of the insurance requirement is a sidebar in a larger fraud upon the public in which the state effectively coerces every adult to convert a car into an “instrumentality of commerce” under federal law.
My suit brings up this larger issue through its defense of travel and the private (non-commercial) use of the road.
I determine under study of the law that the program is rogue, without any legal foundation, even though DOR has 20 people on the payroll to run it. Jason Mumpower, comptroller of the treasury and fraud watchdog, is unconcerned. Jonathan Srkmetti, the attorney general, also unconcerned. I have sent each a detailed letter describing my findings.
Longstanding abuse of the citizenry
The corruption is so deep, and so longstanding, no one dares even notice it. “Mandatory insurance is just the way it is.” The conservative press, and the liberal press, I cannot provoke to interest itself in this fleecing operation generating an estimated F$2 billion a year in free premiums for insurers.
More than 18,000 lawyers work in Tennessee, and not one of them has actually read the law in defense of the innocent and the poor from misuse of police power, jails, courts and tow trucks.
It has fallen to me and the Gnomes, an unusual group of men who study law and live otherwise common, even poorly, workaday lives, to defeat as a matter of law.
IMHO, the insuring of vehicles is a racket.
Drivers are the ones who should be insured to operate them.
