My RAV4, caught in state government’s “Eye of Sauron” fraud and its tag illegally revoked, bears now a poke-in-the-eye vanity plate that says, “HAVE RAS,” meaning, “Do you have reasonable articulable suspicion in arresting and detaining me?” I expect arrest any day using this car for which I do not afford auto insurance, since I am not liable or duty-bound to buy it.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Thursday, June 26, 2025 – A journalist who took a sabbatical from a radio news talk microphone to sue public officials over misconduct says he doubts he will get a reply in a final pleadings in a 2-year-old case to topple what he calls “The Eye of Sauron.”
David Tulis of Eagle Radio Network filed a motion for reconsideration against the department of revenue’s mandatory insurance program under the Tennessee financial responsibility law of 1977, which the department says authorizes a compulsory universal auto insurance program. The department’s EIVS surveillance system, short for electronic insurance verification system, mines insurance company data targeting a million Tennessee drivers who don’t have insurance.
The lawsuit is over revocation of Tulis’ 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan July 21, 2023, for no insurance. But Tulis says he’s not liable to show financial responsibility for anything and demands EIVS be shut down so it can be recalibrated.
In a nutshell —————–
➤ Agency case ends; appeal planned
➤ Denial of case in chancery is just now appealed to the TN court of appeals
➤ 691 days defending law from profiteering, mischief
“In the 691 days I’ve been defending the certification requirements in the law and fighting this oppression, revenue and department of safety got 77,748 poor people criminally convicted for being insurance industry noncustomers. Almost every one of these people is innocent of any crime or violation under Eye of Sauron. No qualifying accident. Not under suspension from department of safety. No duty to have ‘proof’ or ‘evidence’ of financial responsibility.”
Tulis’ “Lord of the Rings” book and movie franchise reference is to a towering evil eyeball that burns out the landscape. Gerregano, Tulis says, uses “the EIVS eyeball wide open” to revoke people “who can’t be coerced into becoming State Farm or Progressive customers because, as the department says, they lack ‘established capacity’ and can’t write the check.” The law is intended to keep poor people off the roads, department officials say in legal filings.
“Elected officials, the media and many in the public support this fraud,” Tulis says. “I’m showing that the program run by these commissioners is entirely apart from the statute and is official misconduct and official oppression. My three actions in the public interest have put to work eight taxpayer-funded attorneys, including [attorney general] Skrmetti. Lawyers, lawyers everywhere, and every word does stink.”
Tulis says defendants are counting on the courts to lay aside the rules of statutory construction and the plain meaning of the law — the constitutionality of which he says he is defending. Tulis is suing Gerregano personally in U.S. district court and is suing Gerregano and safety commissioner Jeff Long in Davidson County chancery court in a case on appeal.
