a)
NOW, comes the Accused, appearing specially and not generally or voluntarily,
but under threat of arrest if he failed to do so, with this "BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF
MOTION FOR DISMISSAL, FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION. stating as follows:
If ever a judge understood the public's right to use the public roads, it was Judge
‘Tolman of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington, Justice Tolman stated:
“Complete freedom of the highways is so old and well established a blessing that we have
forgotten the days of the Robber Barons and toll roads, and yet, under an act like this.
ivbitrarily administered, the highways may be completely monopolized, if, through lack of
interest, the people submit, then they may look to see the most sacred of their liberties taken
from them one by one, by more or less rapid encroachment." Robertson vs. Department of
Public Works, 180 Wash 133, 147.
‘The words of Justice Tolman ring most prophetically in the ears of Citizens throughout
the country today as the use of the public roads has been monopolized by the very entity
which has been empowered to stand guard over our freedom, ie. that of state
government.‘The “most sacred of liberties" of which Justice Tolman spoke was personal
liberty. The definition of personal liberty is:
Personal liberty, or the Right to enjoyment of life and liberty, is one of the fundamental or
natural Rights, which has been protected by its inclusion as a guarantee in the various
Constitutions, which is not derived from or dependent on, the U.S. Constitution, which may
tot be submitted to a vote and may not depend on the outcome of an election. It is one of the
most sacred and valuable Rights, as sacred as the Right to private property .. and is regarded
ts inalienable." 16 C.3.S., Constitutional Law, Sect, 202, p. 987.
This concept is further amplified by the definition of personal liberty
“personal liberty largely consists of the Right of locomotion-- to go where and when one
pleases. only so far restrained as the Rights of others may make it necessary for the welfare
eral! other citizens. The Right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to
transport his property thereon, by horse drawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is or a mere
privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will but the common Right which he has
mader his Right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Under this Constitutional
guarantee one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his inclination along the
Public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in an orderly and decent
‘manner. neither interferis
only in his person, but in
Law, Seet.329, p. 1135.
with nor disturbing another's Rights, he will be protected, not
‘safe conduct." [emphasis added] Il Am.Jur. (Ist) Constitutional
and further...
“Personal liberty ~ consists of the power of locomotive, of changing situations, of removing
‘one’s person to whatever place one's inclination may direct, without imprisonment or
eatraint unless by due process of law." I Blackstone's Commentary 134; Hare, Constitution
rer a77; Bovier's Law Dictionary, 1914 ed., Black's Law Dictionary, Sth ed.
Justice Tolman was concerned about the State prohibiting the Citizen from the "most
sacred of his liberties,” the Right of movement, the Right of moving one's self from place
to place without threat of imprisonment, the Right to use the public roads in the ordinary
course of life, When the State allows the formation of a corporation it may control its
creation by establishing guidelines (statutes) for its operation (charters). Corporations
who use the roads in the course of business do not use the roads in the ordinary course of
