By their "logic", don't you enter into the contract to utilize the parking spots on the government-funded roads as soon as you park your car there?
Stupid people congregating together on message boards trying to game the system. Like children making arguments to stay up past bedtime.
Their whole system is based on if you're not held accountable in the moment, you're free.
America's legal system moves real fucking slow. There's people in my city that just straight up haven't used license plates for years. Because cops won't pull someone over for no plates.
Eventually they'll get an accident they can't drive away from tho, then they're getting all types of charges because you can't insure an unregistered car too.
They think because there hasn't been consequences yet, that none will ever come.
That's what's going on with these tickets too. They think it works, they don't know they're just racking up chickens that are gonna show up to roost one day.
In the meantime they make these social media posts telling everyone it works, and more people do it, which bogs the system down even more.
Their whole system is based on if you’re not held accountable in the moment
Jan6, in other words?
Exactly.
There's still idiots who claim it was ok because they were "let in" when police retreated due to violence.
By their logic a mugging has never happened, the victim decided of their own free will that losing a wallet was better than being shanked by a meth head.
So 100% legal apparently
Never mind the contract of driving on the roads to get to the parking spots. Those roads weren’t built by god, someone has to fund them.
Well god funded and created the people who built them.
Do you know god's plan better than she does?
The weird rules they come up with always make me laugh. Red ink at a 45 degree angle?
It's like some incantation from a fantasy story or something. How do go so far down a rabbit hole that you think you have wizard powers that you can use by simply writing things in a weird way?
Like do they imagine the clerk is there with a protractor and is like "damn, it's 45 degrees, nothing we can do about this one!" Or is it like the clerk will go into a trance and be compelled by their magic incantation to throw the ticket out?
The thing is sovcits get little bits of truth, exaggerate them, and string a bunch randomly together. For the 45 degree thing, one way to revoke a will in some U.S. states is to clearly write something like VOID on it. To avoid not being clear enough, best practice would be big red letters at an angle across the text. But also, there are easier and more normal ways to void it.
Point bring, I feel somebody saw something like that and took away that red text + angle = get out of jail free. Which, no, that's not how law works.
Source: am US lawyer.
So... cargo cult lawyering?
Is it possible that such shenanigans do sometimes work like a confusion spell? Like a clerk sees that, is legally obligated to review this under the law but can't, would have to give this to some other department or something and then it gets shuffled away and never processed? Like an "appeal to bureaucracy" or something haha.
Now remember people, it has to be exactly 45°. They will check so make sure you get a protractor or a carpenter's square.
Rules are what separates us from the animals

This is absolutely true, and it's not limited to parking tickets. I was getting groceries and I was asked to pay. I knew this was just a trick to get me to enter contract, so I denied the contract (yes, I signed at a 45.0 degree angle) and left with my groceries for free.
The police did unlawfully arrest me though, so I am seeking a civil rights lawyer.
Make sure you pay the lawyer in cut up tissue paper with period blood on it in Lou of actual "monies". Oh and leave an upper decker for them for giving power to the lizards people rules.
I think it's in lieu of
This guy is a liar, don't believe him. I was the cashier and I can tell you that he signed at a 44.3° angle (we're required to keep a protractor at every register for this exact reason), the peace officer was right to arrest him.
TILA-RESPA of 2015. Extends only to banking institutions in limited situations related to home loans. 12 USC ch. 27.
You cannot just read a single sentence from that act, the three day period, and just randomly apply it everywhere. And I have no idea where the 45⁰ thing comes from but sounds right up there with bay leaves and candles.
Obey the law. #NotLegalAdvice
The kindergarten handwriting in fat marker really chefs kisses this to the next level
tbf this is just what handwriting looks like for gen z at least. we got rid of cursive and we mostly type things nowadays
It's everyone, even people who were taught cursive in school can't really do it anymore because we don't do it anymore.
I started journaling again and it takes serious mental effort to write in cursive and I'm old enough to remember when we had to hand write assignments because general access to computers was still brand new.
WTF does "cause without dishonor or recourse to me" mean? It sounds like the words are all out of order lol
It's "hereby refused for cause,
Without dishonor or recourse to me."
As in, without it being a blemish on their reputation or action made against them.
As stupid as their argument and attempt are, that phrase made sense to me.
So in other words "I'm allowed to break the law with impunity and you can't ever say anything bad about me because I'm special"?
I interpreted this as saying "I disagree with owing a debt and believe I'm entitled to refute it under the law so do not take this as an unlawful action". Kind of like pleading not guilty and demanding a trial instead of submitting or running away.
I think this is basically it. But they think that's the final word so get flustered when they respond with: "No you owe us the money".
They seem to believe that they can benefit from services without paying for them or following the law. Fundamentally I like the idea of being independent from the nation... But if you want to use their roads, shops, health services, etc you need to abide by their laws and terms. They think they can just say some magic words and now they don't have to. It's insanity. Very literally, they must have some notable mental health issues to think this is logical.
They are basically anarchists which I like, except they still subscribe to english common law or something. Anarchy means that any authority needs to be justified or justify itself or else be null and void. So I kind of agree with their philosophy, since democracy in the US is like a joke. It's really literally a plutocracy with some minor democratic impact.
Of course in the real world they are nuts of course and their tactics are silly. And they tend to have bad ideas otherwise too.
Ok, but why is it important that it be written at a 45 degree angle? What if it’s at 46 or 44? Does it still work?
DENIED DUE TO 44.8° ANGLE
Deviating from 45° actually means you ACCEPT the offer. It is known.
