You are correct, however no prosecutor will submit a birth certificate as evidence of jurisdiction. Even if they do you can always challenge it by asking them to show you where on that document it proves jurisdiction. Nowhere have you signed an agreement giving them jurisdiction. There is also nowhere where it says that a birth certificate may be used as proof of jurisdiction. You could also dissociate yourself from that name by refusing to claim ownership of it. After all you don't have to claim anything. It is up to them to prove you are who they say you are. The birth certificate isn't really a problem. It's only binding for the mind. You are also right about being forced to play their games but if you use the Socratic method and play them right you will never be able to be legally forced past arraignment. Any judge who does so will be breaking his own rules and can be held accountable for it later on after you appeal. What do you think? Am I Wrong? If you're not sure you should really check out some of Joe's videos on youtube, they're super fascinating. He's one of the main one's proving it. You just have to know their rules and how to play their game. Joe and Mark will teach ya. Over time if more and more people keep doing this they'll have to at least acknowledge it as the courts could be tied up indefinitely.
