Ed Soloe of Alcoa, Tenn., is the Gnome Librarian who taught me everything I know about TFRL.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Thursday, April 24, 2025 — It took Ed Soloe and the other gnomes a year in litigation to realize that our siege against the department revenue and its criminal extortion operation centers on the issue of certification.
Certified motor vehicle liability policies. T.C.A. § 55-12-102(7).
Certified electronic insurance verification system (EIVS).
When commissioner of revenue David Gerregano launched EIVS on Jan. 1, 2017, he did so under an authorization required at T.C.A. § 55-12-212.
Its certificate allows cops and deputies to use the system to verify whether a person who is required to have proof of financial responsibility indeed has a current policy in the record of department of safety that EIVS is designed to monitor.
The racket run out of the department of revenue, or DOR, allows EIVS to scan not just for the SR-22 certificate as required of some drivers by law, but scan two databases to create an illegal third list.
EIVS today is used to scan registration information and “full book of business” information from insurance carriers to create a third list. On this list are insurance industry noncustomers. These people are revoked after a four-notice cycle lasting four months.
These are the hundreds or thousands of people whose cars are towed out for under them because they can’t show proof of financial responsibility under a program that requires them to purchase insurance they can’t afford to obtain policies that are legally insufficient to be POFR.

If you are subject to TFRL in Tennessee, you are likely to have SR-22 high risk insurance called the “motor vehicle liability policy,” an extraordinary financial instrument that puts insurers on the hook for potentially millions of dollars if an accident is highly egregious.
Misconduct and oppression in regards to EIVS has caused 68,000 illegal criminal convictions in Tennessee. This shocking number suggests the enormity of the felonies being committed by people in office, commissioners named by Republican Gov. Bill Lee. Attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti is defending “The Guano” and Mr. Long in court, and has ignored my entreaties for relief and assistance.

Jonathan Skrmetti, AG
It’s a longstanding shakedown in Tennessee bringing an estimated $2 billion a year of free premiums to licensed insurance companies involved in the program. It lets DOR harass and abuse the more than 1 million poor in Tennesee, or other noncustomers, who don’t have auto coverage.
My court action in the public interest intended to force Mr. Gerregano and Jeff Long, safety commissioner, to comply with the Tennessee financial responsibility law of 1977, starting off with the decertification of EIVS under its initial seal.
What does ‘certify’ mean?
On graduating from the university, would you have been content to receive, rather than a diploma certificate, an e-mail from the registrar saying you were done? Would you want to prove marriage under a license by an ordinary letter? When you trade for a car, is a handwritten note sufficient guaranty of ownership, or do you demand a state-issued “certificate of title”?
Certification is a title. It connotes certainty. It is a voucher. It is the use of an official’s honor to guarantee a fact or deed. A certificate puts David Gerregano’s neck, skin and office on the line that all is OK. A certificate is an evidence or proof of something secure, sure, locked, not fiddled with, honorable. It pre-empts doubt. Better, it removes doubt, defies skepticism. A certification says a statement of record or proper operation is in granite. It’s steel plated, not in sand or sandstone. The Gerregano certification of EIVS is enhanced proof showing commitment.
It shows right, title and interest.
I am suing in two court cases and two administrative cases to decertify the EIVS system.
Amended motion to reconsider & to decertify Eye of Sauron

Chancellor Anne Martin, Davidson County chancery court
I’ve asked chancery court judge Anne Martin to order him to decertify EIVS. He must remove its seal. He must rescind his current approval, and rescind it from the time it started. If what he is doing now waswhat he planned to do all along, he must decertify the current certification retroactically back to his initial approval.
He must withdraw his OK. He is disentitling the eyeball.
Based on reasonable, material doubt, his inability to secure the accuracy of the surveillance, he shuts it down.
My suit casts a shadow of doubt, a lien upon the tower. My claim is that surveillance must be through a squint upon SR-22 certificate holders, people required to buy the “motor vehicle liability policy” defined in sect. 102 as “proof of financial responsibility.” That certificate does not appear by name in the law, but is an industry standard form approved by department of safety.
Truth conquers over lies and the tower stops while repair is made.
