I second this question!

pa990

basically:

"Freemen" believe that statute law is a contract, and that individuals can therefore opt out of statute law, choosing instead to live under what they call "common" (case) and "natural" laws. Under their theory, natural laws require only that individuals do not harm others,

they use maritime law instead of normal laws that the regular soap adheres to.
They have deiced to opt out of the laws of the country.. statutes/ acts etc

Think they post them up individually. Do search for them.

I'm guessing OP is a Guard and has been recorded by them? Had a look at a couple of videos, they seem like a right pain! do they claim or are they entitled to claim the dole if they don't follow any of our laws?

Do you mean section 16 of the Garda Siochana Act 2005 the one with the Solemn declaration. IE this crack?

“I hereby solemnly and sincerely declare before God that—


• I will faithfully discharge the duties of a member of the Garda Síochána with fairness, integrity, regard for human rights, diligence and impartiality, upholding the Constitution and the laws and according equal respect to all people,


• while I continue to be a member, I will to the best of my skill and knowledge discharge all my duties according to law, and


• I do not belong to, and will not while I remain a member form, belong to or subscribe to, any political party or secret society whatsoever.”.

Yup. Double standards. Don't recognise acts/statutes when it suits. Plenty have come a cropper in court when they say they don't recognise them. They get fairly familiar with prison cells then.

I be fairly sure they haven't decided to opt out of the welfare system either.

Here is another one. At Anglesea Street Garda Station. They are full of crap and committing an offence for recording in a station. Entertaining nonetheless...

I think the Law Society Gazette summed them up pretty well:

I don't have a name or believe in names, but I'm looking for the name of this person!!!

I've a pain in my face from watching that...

Mind boggling that people like that are actually walking the streets. If we were a civilised society we'd be looking after them with room with soft walls and a romper suit.

Having said that the video is very funny... Funny but mind boggling

The overwhelming feeling, after watching (and encountering) such codswallop, is the desire to stick my head in a bucket of Jeyes Fluid in order to wash away the idiocy.

They are more similar to a cult than a political movement. If you take what they say at face value it is attractive to the disenfranchised and easy to understand for the less well educated. Where someone is facing a dark time in their life it might be nice for them to believe that their mistakes were someone elses fault and all of their problems can be solved by taking the advice of these guys. Unfortunately for them it is a fantasy.

We have similar dopes over here, same crap, "Freemen of the land", contract law, maritime law, whatever. As in Ireland, it generally doesn't work too well when you tell a judge you don't recognoise his court. That usually ends up with the judge holding you in contempt, and allowing you the pleasure of not recognoising the celsl for a week or so.

Some are more dangerous than others, armed, etc. In Texas, we have the "Republic of Texas" crowd who argue that Texas was never legally annexed into the US, thus they don't recognoise the Feds or state authority. These "seperatists" have gotten violent, especially against the feds. Approach with caution. I helped serve a warrant on one of these lads for non-payment of property taxes and he threatened the county officials who came to evict him. He was well armed, but happily he was arrested without a shot being fired.

Questions: In Ireland is there a law that require one to identify themselves to a Garda?
And is there a law requireing one to comply with the lawful order of a Garda?

Here we have both and it is an offense to not ID yourself to a peace officer and to not follow a lawful order.

Many of the "freemen" my colleagues have encounterd have run afoul of at least the above.

Curious,

Yes, various bit of legislation that make it an offence not to comply with a lawful order. (sec 8 public order act 1994 for example)

There is no offence of not carrying ID. However, if you are suspected of an offence your name and address can be demanded. (Sec 24 (2)(a) public order act 1994 for example)

Lads sequel to the above Anglesea Street video. This time no name Leo is attempting to stop outlaws kidnapping Eva the girl he was representing at the station. Spotted this on the freemen megamerge thread. Credit to the o.p. Includes a Sgt talking sense to Eva that Noname Leo and gang are full of crap.

Yep, sounds like the laws are pretty much the same. We have no requirement to carry ID, however if a peace officer demands it, you must identify yourself to his/her satisfaction. Practically speaking over here 99% of the population carry a driving license, so it's not overly common to encounter someone without an ID.

Those tend to be the two biggest pitfalls of the "freemen" here when they encounter LEO's.

Another recent phenomen is the filming of LEO's at work. Some of the anti-police organizations even give classes on how to and what to film. It's all legal (90% of what we do is filmed anyhow on dashcam) so long as they don't interfere with us. Had a colleague recently who ended up arresting a bloke who just would'nt stay on the path and film, he insisted in getting into the road to film a traffic stop.

All part of the fun and games. I commend the few gardai I've seen (online) being patient with these plonkers.

irishrgr

Sorry, premature click.....again, my hat is off to the Gardai for their patience with these people. If I were dealing with it, the chap in the red coat would have come close to arrest for interfering with a public servant.

Our rule is generally, go hands on with us and you are going to jail. A byproduct of being armed, is, any contact has the potential to grab my weapon, therefore we're pretty sensitive to it.

Another question: the female who was arrested, I noticed she wasn't cuffed. Is that not normal procedure for an arrest? We have to cuff all arrestee's for everyones protection. I don't want someone going crazy in the back of the car and hurting me or themselves.

Well done lads on that one.

I think Outlaws is a compliment! As in Robin Hood and his Merry Men were outlaws. And they were good guys that helped the downtrodden.
