Importance Of An Allodial Title

Improved Essays
tried to make sense of how we currently regulate our roadways.
I first looked closer at the vehicle titles the state provides, given the fact this this was of great interest to me. What I discovered was that the titles they provide are not an Allodial titles which would constitute absolute ownership of real property but instead feudal titles. These feudal titles are exactly like the land titles granted to peasants by nobles in medieval Europe when feudalism was the dominant social system. These titles stated that, “Peasants were obliged to live on their lord 's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection” ("Definition of Feudalism in English:"). The significance of this is that

So how could someone prove ownership without a title? I actually found several ways to prove ownership, the best options were to either get an allodial title, conditionally sign a state title, form a notarized document, or to make use of our guaranteed due process. Given the fact that due process comes in court only after legal citation my primary goal became to seek out an allodial title. As it turns out vehicle manufactures create allodial titles called Manufacturer 's Certificate of Origin or MCO, this is transferred to dealerships and they are provided upon purchase of a vehicle ("Vehicle Information Services"). Unfortunately I found out getting one of these would not be possible, all thanks to a play on power by the DMV. When you buy a vehicle, the dealership sends the MCO off to the DMV so it can be registered, the only chance you would ever have at getting the MCO is if immediately upon purchase of a brand new vehicle you requested the MCO and to not register the vehicle. After the DMV does get the MCO it is as good as gone, they scan it “for their records” and shred it, I discovered this when I personally called the DMV requesting my MCO. I was informed that it would be impossible for me —or anyone else for that matter— to attain this

    In the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, it is stated that “property is an inviolable and sacred right…” and the current draft of the Constitution states that “the constitution guarantees the inviolability of property or a just and prior indemnity for that of which a legally established public necessity may demand the sacrifice.” This is a section of the Constitution that should be applauded. For in this statement, there lies a great and admirable protection of citizens – a protection of them from the government. By stating this as law no longer can the government take anyone’s land in the state and if they do, just compensation is required. Despite all this though, the current state…

    As I was driving near my home at the end of a rainy day, due to my nearsightedness, I accidentally drove over the center line and into the wrong way. Consequently, I was stopped by a police officer who asked for my driver's license, which I did not have with me that day. Foolishly thinking, I believed that going to a nearby gas station without a driver's license was not going to…

The elders want the community to be healthy and safe and so without gas a electronic objects like that keep the community clean. In the book it tells us that one of the laws is you cannot fly a plane over head of the community which supports the fact of pollution.

    In the Kelo v. New London court case, Suzette Kelo and eight petitioners opposed a eminent domain taking “projected to create in excess of 1,000 jobs, to increase tax and other revenues, and to revitalize an economically distressed city” (“Kelo” 472). Suzette Kelo claimed the “extensive improvements” that she had made on her house justified her ability to block this development plan (476). Others claimed that their “investment properties,” because they were not “blighted or otherwise in poor condition,” could not be taken by the government (476). Do Kelo’s and the other defendants’ claim to their property through proper maintenance and labor supersede the governments right to repossess the properties for economic development?…

    We were not given the information the dealer had, but it was explained the dealership had no knowledge the vehicle was stolen. Therefore, we assume the dealership made a good faith purchase or trade in this situation. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) 2-403 does make an argument that if the dealer acted in good faith he may be covered by a good faith purchase. The scenario provided does indicate the dealer had no knowledge the vehicle was stolen so I make the assumption a proper and ethical investigation was conducted based off the information provided. For a proper assessment of the situation, state laws must be analyzed and a determination of statutory definition of larcenous conduct must be defined (The Good Faith Purchase, 1963). My main point is to reinforce that the dealership made a good faith purchase and Martin has a faint chance of obtaining his vehicle…

    In this case of United States v. Texarkansas we are here to discuss the laws passed in the state of Texarkansas in regards to the self-driving cars. Self-driving cars has become the newest technology and, according to witnesses in congressional hearings, testified that self-driving cars have a higher probability to reduce traffic fatalities, allow companies to ship goods more efficiently, and make commuting to work easier for most Americans. President Ronald Crump made the decision to pass a bill in order to promote this new technology and with that came 3 federal provisions: 1. The law allows taxpayers to subtract the amount they pay to be driven by a self-driving car service from their taxable income, which lowers the amount of income they…

    Visualize a small slot racing car in your mind, racing down a set track at ludicrous speeds while a human controls it. It is traveling down a set track, it cannot control its velocity or its cornering, whereas it could disfunction if the human controlling it had made a certain human error. From a civic perspective, this slot car is devoid of power, or free will. It cannot control its own speed, motion, velocity, acceleration, braking points, or anything else that the human driver can control. However, the “slot racing cars” of literature are detectable in dystopian literature, in which a tyrannic government believes that they thoroughly control every citizen. However, the government is mostly wrong about whether or not they control every right…

    Although neither the dealer nor the new owner knew the car was stolen and conducted good faith transactions, an adequate VIN check would have reported that the vehicle was stolen. I perceive that one or the other was negligent on this regard; a further investigation would be required to determine specific negligence. My interpretation of the laws suggests that the power resides with Martin because it was his stolen car. With respect to North Carolina General Statues § 99A-1 (2014), I would advise Martin to file lawsuits against the dealer and the owner for negligence in conducting a VIN check and a separate claim against the new owner to recover his…
