You don't need no stinking drivers license

There is a character that has breakfast at Lizzy B's almost every day. A bit eccentric. He got arrested for driving without a license, no insurance, misuse of marker plates, no registration and one other charge. He gave the police the riot act and made them remove his car from the flat bed. the Police asked him where he got the plate and he said he found it two years ago. As the car was being removed from the flat bed the cop said he would take the plate. He said go ahead I have another one. Another cop arrived that he knew and he asked the other cop"where did you get this douche bag"? I guess it happened in Norwich someplace as he started in court in Norwich. He told them he was within his constitutional rights and the state can't stop him from operating a motor vehicle. The judge didn't get what he was saying and he said he wanted a jury trial. Off to New London and judge Susan B. Handy. She takes him into the chambers and asked for an explanation for his actions. He says "I don't have a license". This prosecutor can't believe his ears and starts to execute him on the spot. She says send this case back to Norwich it don't belong here. (She read the law at one time.) On his way out he tells the prosecutor "don't take it personal, asshole I know what I'm doing". At last he ends up in court in Danielson. The prosecutor asks him to say he will be a good boy get a license and register the car and the judge will be nice to you. He says "no". He gets in front of the judge and the prosecutor says he is unrepentant and recommends execution, again. The judge says to him that he is close to trouble. He says to the judge your in contempt, you have me here wasting my time for no reason and it's against the constitution. The gallery erupted with support. Then he states, verbatim, the paragraph in the constitution that allows anyone to drive on public roads unempeded by anyone. So and so versus so and so in such a year, page this, book that. He did know that when you sign your license you waive that right. So in 1985 he sent his license to the RI DMV with a letter explaining why and hasn't had one since. He got off without any other problem. And he still drives like he has. As he exited the court room the deputys said good job.
This took place no more than two weeks ago. Should be available someplace.
I asked him if that law applied to aircraft, he said he didn't think so as it's a separate license and that the new CDL should be a separate license as well as it's a federal license like a pilot's license. Then he asked me if I had a pilot license, I said I did and he said I got something for you. He went to his unregistered old Ford Ranger and came back with a Remington collectable metal model Sopwith Pup still in the original box. He said don't open it. Yup the gun maker. It's colored up in camoflage with a turkey picture on the top wing. Pretty neat. Made in China.
