In my state [US] driving is NOT a "right," it is a "privilege." Agree with that or no, it's written into the law.
JUST STAY OFF THE ROADS WHILE DRIVING A MOTORIZED VEHICLE.

You are absolutely correct , in that there are those posting here who are only vaguely familiar with this topic and are offering no more than speculation and conjecture .
This is what lands people in jail .
For a starter course in understanding , see my thread here :

Obviously, by the video, you see that you ARE allowed to drive without a license if you know your rights and are prepared. The guy in questions knew his rights and answered the questions without falling into a trap.

No, watch the film again. He is not "allowed" to do anything. Allowed means someone else has the power to deny you doing it. He asserted a fundamental US Code Right as his own. The "right" means just what it says, it is not an allowance. Do not confuse the issue please?

First of all, you have to release yourself from govenment control.. As soon as you vote, you consent to be governed. You're basically giving consent to the governemt to make decisions for you.. You become part of "That society" the "law society". Therefore you have to follow their rules. You here him say the cop was reading his affidavit of truth, that's a piece of paper stating that he is not part of that society and he choses not to be governed. You do that with a notary public.

I did not even know about the Freeman group other than the police standoff back in the 90's with a group in the US. Their ideology is "foreign" to me. And, it will almost assuredly stay that way. I do wish them well though... so long as their ideology is not foisted upon me. But that would be a form of tyranny if they attempted to do so.............

Since their ideology is based entirely on 'freedom', hence the moniker "Freemen", this thought equates to "Freedom is Tyranny".
Now, where have I heard something like THAT before...?

Hi!
You make an extremely valid point-observation. I based my comment on two points as I gleaned them from this thread:
1) They base their beliefs on some concept of Rights granted by [their] god. I do not believe in this god and I doubt I would agree with the definitions of what they feel these rights so granted by this [supposed] deity are/aren't.
and...
2) Their "rights" must by necessity "stop at my nose." In the case of the OP and our young Freeman he was driving on a public roadway. If I were driving on that same roadway I have a certain expectation that the drivers on it with me are properly licensed and insured. Now, the licensed bit is really nothing more than a silly little piece of [legal paper] and has nothing to do with safety. But, the insurance, well that's an entirely different kettle of fish. Should our young gentleman hit me, causing grievous damage to my vehicle and my person I would be financially *damaged*. My insurance, being on a completely paid for vehicle, is only liability insurance. It only covers damage I might do to *someone else's* property/person - NOT my own. IOW: His presumed "rights" "DAMAGED MY NOSE" in this hypothetical thought experiment.

Sorry. There is no way he could have "asserted a fundamental US Code Right."
Our intrepid young crusader for the cause of the common man was in CANADA. Although not clear in the OP, I found the department he dealt with.

A slightly different outcome. Sorry, don't know how to embed vid on ATS.

I would dispute that as being a choice that you could make, or that you could choose not to make.
You know, if we followed nature a little more, imagine how much better off we could be? Houses, for example....where else in nature do you see structures that come up in square, rectilinear shapes? And the way we construct them? If we want a cool, stable temperature, why are we not building underground?
Us ignoring natural law, thinking that we can live on this planet outside of nature, is the very definition of hubris. There is nothing in history that would intimate that we, a species of this planet, would already be wise enough to second guess it using our own logic, instead of the logic contained within the laws governing the planet...natural law.
Societal inclinations are part of who we are. Our nation was founded on principles put in place by the Indians in the northeast. The things we chose to ignore are concepts that have stolen liberty. Things like land ownership. etc. It was a culture that made every attemnpt to understand the laws of nature, and to live within them, and while respecting them.
The greatest minds of human history...mental giants like Pythagoras, Aristotle, Socrates...they all had a belief that observing nature was the key to discovering the way to live. This was the basis of the teachings of these great men, and the basis of the esoteric teachings of The mysteries. It is the concept that gave Bacon the impetus to write The New Atlantis. And the secret behind the greatest scientific breakthroughs.
Natural law is the only way to live, peacefully and while eliminating strife.

See. You interject what you believe is the "right" way we, the collective we, should live. What if my idea of ideal was to live in as artificial and aseptic environment as I could possibly construct? What if 90% percent of the world's population agreed with me? More importantly, what if *no one* agreed with me? Would I still be *allowed* under this Natural Law system?
Forgive me this bit of "quibbling," but are you not presuming to say how we should all live? What you propose as your vision of perfection is, in all sincerity, a harsh and brutal - short lived - life. One I wish NO part of, that you very much.
I have a lot of free time because of my "buying into" my society's division of labors. I do not have to provide for everything I utilize and enjoy by the sweat of my brow and exertion of my muscle. I do not have to draw my own well water, chop my own wood, hunt my own food, grow my own crops, tan my own leather, weave my own cloth, sew my own clothing, cobble my own shoes, etc., etc. And I am profoundly *grateful* for it.
