Friday, Jan. 17, 2025 — A malicious prosecution case in Henry County, Tenn., unrolls today in circuit court in which due process violations poison the tranquil air of a rural small town and taxpayers face the prospect of a multi-milllion dollar lawsuit as its police chief ignores an administrative notice regarding traffic tickets.
Today Christopher Fiedler, a free-spirited scooter user who slurps mustard and flips fast food burgers for a living, faces Judge Bruce Griffey at a motions hearing. He says he intends to argue that his 24 days in jail are the top item in a stack of law violations reaching to the nearest bare lightbulb in the cell.
A review of the records in the case suggest a court system in which harm is built into the paperwork.
➤ Mr. Fiedler is arrested on “FTA” — failure to appear — after being directed to go to the wrong court Nov. 18, 2024, under sessions court form GS100. Violation of his right to due process and notice.
➤ He’s jailed on an order of “NO BOND,” in violation of the Tennessee constitution bill of rights that says “all prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for capital offences, when the proof is evident, or the presumption great.” Judge Griffey and sheriff and ignoring a supreme court case that admission to bail is mandatory. Wallace v. State, 245 S.W.2d 192 (1952)
Administrative notice — sparing cops, taxpayers
➤ His due process rights are violated when Paris cop Lt. Michael Ramos testiies to the grand jury that Mr. Fiedler had a revoked driver license, failing to indicate he’d never had a driver license or applied for one. In the false testimony, the officer testifies to opinion rather than evidence, with the department of safety business record either erroneous or fraudulent
➤ Mr. Fiedler’s rights are violated because Officer Ramos fails to sign the “return” of the arrest, meaning the court doesn’t know Mr. Fiedler has been arrested and that he could languish in jail weeks or months without a hearing — “lost in the system.” Lack of signature obstructs the orderly administration of justice with 24 days of incarceration without conviction or judicial review. “They’re wiping their asses with the constitution,” observes Eagle Radio Network midstate bureau chief Christopher Sapp. “It’s a due course of law violation under Tennessee constitution article 1 section 17.”
➤ Sheriff Josh Frey denies the right of habeas corpus guaranteed in Tenn. Const. art. 1 § 15. Jailers Wilson and Wade refuse to deliver the inmate’s petition for the writ to the court, even though the job of the sheriff is to serve the court. Judge Griffey denied a hearing on the habeas. Habeas is a command for the officer to bring an illegally jailed person befoe the bar.
➤ Arrest without a warrant is another due process violation. Tenn. Code Ann. 40-7-103 requires a warrant for any offense that is not a “public offense” or a ”breach of the peace threatened.”
Quick take —————————–
— Corrupt processes defy constitutional government
— Presumption controls most criminal accusations in Tennessee
— Only with defiant resistance can citizens free themselves from oppression
“I find that to be one of the most egregious things,” Mr. Sapp says. “How can the court, given the constitution and that case, ever put out something to deny and say, ‘Hold without bail’? How can they do that? It’s not a capital case.”
Samantha Fisher, AOC flak
Request for comment by the state administrator of the courts in Nashville about the misleading Henry County sessions court form was denied. “The AOC does not comment on judges’ decisions,” spokeswoman Samantha Fisher says.
“How can a license be suspended when I never applied for a license?” says Mr. Fiedler in an interview. “That’s no different than suspending a barber’s license or a fishing license that I’ve never applied for. You can suspend that, but it ain’t ever gonna stop me from cutting my own hair, or fishing on my private lake at my household on my private property, or any public fishing place in my community.”
Mr. Fiedler, who lives with longtime sweetheart Nicole Beale, says the indictment alleges he did “knowingly or intentionally drive or operate a motor vehicle” and goes on to identify the road in a way encapsulating Mr. Fiedler’s position that the roads belong to the people. He “drove” on a “way publicly maintained that is open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel” and “frequented by the public way,” the roads identified as Volunteer and Emerald Cove.
Paris police and the courts hold that all use of the public road has to be in commerce, and no use is allowed for private or personal or pleasure use.

This indictment alleges Mr. Fiedler used the public road “on or about July 3, 2024,” a serious crime in Tennessee
Princely warfare against principalities & powers
It appears that a grand jury has determined Fiedler’s guilt without any evidence that the man ever had a license to drive or operate a motor vehicle, nor any evidence at all that he was, in fact, driving or operating a motor vehicle.
Those are both commercial activities, yet there is no evidence that Fiedler was doing either one, or that Fiedler was engaged in any commercial activity.
Apparently, Henry is another Tennessee county where the municipal corporation first wipes its collective ass on the Tennessee Constitution, then tolls the taxpayers for revenue without regard to any lawful process. As the rulers of the corporation simply presume that ALL are “entities in commerce”, having no rights whatsoever.
