CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024 — I’m demanding sanctions against government lawyer Camille Cline for lying about my position on privilege in the “Eye of Sauron” case that on Tuesday went to the hearing officer for a ruling.
Well, you say, privilege is a complicated issue and it’s related to taxes and law, so it’s probably not a big deal. But it is a big deal. Tennessee has two methods of taxation, one being ad valorem and the other one being privileges. Most of the state’s executive branch agencies manage privileges, whether telecom, banking, insurance, transportation, education.
In our fight to overthrow the insurance cartels’ grip on state government, I’m having to argue about privilege and the use of the roads departments of revenue and safety regulate.
They manage for-profit use of the roads by truckers and others who transport goods or people for hire.
I’m suing revenue to get my registration restored so I can use my 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan in commerce, for hire, as a motor vehicle. Revenue revoked my tag in July 2023 because I don’t have insurance on the car and its used as a motor vehicle.
In her response to petitioner’s motion for summary judgment, Camille Cline, BPR No. 031065, senior associate counsel serving respondent Commissioner David Gerregano, repeatedly misstates petitioner’s position describing the distinction between privileged activity subject to state authority, ,and nonprivileged authority that is not.
Mrs. Cline says in her filing:
Further, while Petitioner would contend that the state may only regulate “nonprivileged” use of the road representing the operating of a vehicle for commercial purposes, the law imposes registration fees and other restrictions on vehicles operated for both personal and commercial purposes. See Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 55-4-112-113 (imposing fees on vehicles operated for commercial purposes).
Response pp. 5, 6 (emphasis added)
Mrs. Cline means to say “privileged.”
Mrs. Cline files documents that cannot but confuse the hearing officer as to petitioner’s position, and make petitioner look confused or stupid. That she misrepresents him five times is highly, deeply disturbing, even shocking.
Mrs. Cline seems to be attempting a fraud on the court. Fraud in the rules of professional responsibility is defined as “an intentionally false or misleading statement of material fact, an intentional omission from a statement of fact of such additional information as would be necessary to make the statements made not materially misleading, and such other conduct by a person intended to deceive a person or tribunal with respect to a material issue in a proceeding or other matter.”
That Tennessee revenue department has authority over privilege, but not over nonprivilege, is a material fact readily proven. Petitioner’s position about privilege is part of the subject matter of the case. It is a material fact in this case, developed at length. To make false statements about privilege and his position regarding privilege serves a purpose in the litigation, one wrongly and prejudicially disfavoring petitioner.
I have been/we have been immensly successful in reporting fraudulent lawyers to the Board of Professional Responsibility or its equivalent in other states. Doing same in your project probably would not work in this “good ol’ boy state.”
Chiefs of police, sheriffs, councilmen and commisioners need to read and understand the law and put a stop to this nonsense.
To imply that a corporate entity known as “the state” has lawful power (authority/jurisdiction) to determine “privilege” with regard to People and/or the property of People is the greatest Fraud perpetrated within Tennessee.
