If ever a judge understood the public's right to use the public roads, it was Justice Tolman of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington. Justice Tolman stated:
The forgotten legal maxim is that free people have a right to travel on the roads which are provided by their servants for that purpose, using ordinary transportation of the day. Licensing cannot be required of free people, because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of a right. The driver's license can be required of people who use the highways for trade, commerce, or hire; that is, if they earn their living on the road, and if they use extraordinary machines on the roads. If you are not using the highways for profit, you cannot be required to have a driver's license.
Very rude worker!!! 1 person who works there. No organization. Stays packed with people. Then they take a 2 hour lunch break
Thank Bobby jendal for having only one clerk. The clerk that works there is real nice and super knowledgable.
BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF NOTICE FOR DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Miss DEBBIE is very nice and super knowledgeable. However, she needs help! Also, when it finally got to my turn, the computers were down. Then, Miss DEBBIE went on vacation. The substitute couldn't find my papers. (Drove thru pouring rain 18 miles and still couldn't get this project completed!) Back again today at 1:10 pm. Closed until 1:50 pm, presumably for lunch. Our parish needs more than one clerk; Louisiana!

The wait is ridiculous. There is only one person working and shes very slow. I will not be going back.
ARGUMENT
"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, arbitrarily 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."
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 NOTICE FOR DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION," stating as follows:
RIGHTS
The following argument has been used in at least three states (Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia) as a legal brief to support a demand for dismissal of charges of "driving without a license." It is the argument that was the reason for the charges to be dropped, or for a "win" in court against the argument that free people can have their right to travel regulated by their servants.
The "most sacred of liberties" of which Justice Tolman spoke was personal liberty. The definition of personal liberty is:
