Quatloos!

I came across this individual while looking at various sovereign videos on YouTube.

Mr Bikle currently has filed two appeals in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit seeking to overturn the dismissal with prejudice of his suits in the California Central District Court. Between the two filings the appellees include various Superior Court officials, Deputies Santos and Hayes of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, two unknown individuals who work for that department, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles County, and the City of Lakewood in Los Angeles County.

What brought on this action? On 24 Oct 2011 Mr Bickle was involved in an automobile accident in a casino parking lot. When Deputy Santos arrived on the scene, he asked for Mr Bickle's driver's licence and insurance documents. It turned out that Mr Bickle had neither and the Deputy wrote him a citation for that.

Now eventually the case was dismissed by the Superior Court Judge for, as stated in the dismissal order,

"the number of changes made to the appearance date and the changes to the citation, the lack of information provided by the clerk's office as to when the motion was being heard, and in light of the fact that the record does not sufficiently indicate when the matter should have been set for arraignment, thus creating confusion and possible delays in process"

Now most people would have been happy with that result but not our Mr Bickle. He wants his pound of flesh from anyone involved.

He filed a complaint on 19 Jun 2013 in the US District Court, Central District of CA, alleging various civil rights violations against him by court officials related to his appearance in the superior court and against the public at large. This was dismissed with prejudice as being frivolous on 26 Jul 2013 and an appeal of that decision was made to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Aug 2013.

On 23 Oct Mr Bickle filed a suit naming the deputies, LA Sheriff's Department, etc for the violation of his rights, seeking to stop the "ongoing wrongs" occurring in LA County and seeking damages. This too was dismissed with prejudice for being frivolous on 13 Dec 2013 and a 2nd appeal was launched in US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on 13 Jan 2014.

Mr Bickle filed his brief for the first appeal on 7 Apr 2014 and his brief for the second on 28 Aug 2014, which is apparently where matters stand at this time.

He has posted various videos on YouTube related to these actions.

Bikle has moved to Hawaii to see if that state would let him drive without a license. Alas, no. His latest YouTube video is of the hearing on his motion to dismiss his no license/no insurance case for lack of jurisdiction. The court didn't buy his argument that the summons issued to him by the cop was not a real summons.

He has started a hatreon account to raise money to fight this miscarriage of justice. Hatreon is apparently Patreon for purveyors of hate speech. In addition to being a suv'ron, Bikle is also a hardcore antisemite.

notorial dissent wrote:I think he picked the wrong place to try his nonsense. HI has been the death shoals of many a poor and stupid sovrun who tried their wares there. Most of them either eventually flee back to the mainland in disgust at the lack of respect they get, are extradited elsewhere for various crimes, or end up in prison. I don't see why this should end any differently.

Interesting statement. I've been following this guy for a while. I guess he's actually an anarchist, and seems to have been the main individual behind CopWatchHawaii.

He kind of sounds sovereign-citizen-y to me, at least his claims about how laws don't apply to him because jurisdiction cannot be proven in his eyes.

This is my first post - been lurking for a while though and enjoying the show...thanks

Proving it in his eyes isn't really important, its proving it in the court's eyes, something not as sticky.

Welcome to Quatloos, Nat. Grog is served on the foc's'le at 8 bells.

Good call trying to be invisible at first. Our hazing and initiation rituals are...original.

All lies. I didn't get any grog on the foc's'le. That was the empty promise that sucked me into Quatloos.

But you do have a great cover story for that scar you got during initiation.

Apparently he's posted the full transcripts recently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8caJx74noGs

He also posted a communication from the prosecuting attorney's office that indicates that they were not initiating prosecution for the citation he was issued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBqrUHMQuck

A prosecuting attorney has to initiate prosecution by the filing of charges to create a "case" and to confer subject matter jurisdiction upon a court. The judge acknowledges this in the transcript before she changes the subject. So he was right after all.

Where does this guy claim to be a sovereign citizen? I can't find any thing about him running cop watch in hawaii either.

Watch some of his videos; he spouts sov-cit nuttery. Jurisdiction, "show me the law" etc.

Notwithstanding this one purported "victory", Bikle has amassed a number of defeats of courts (Lexis shows 11).

Listen to his cross examination of the cop in Hawaii; it's one failure after the other. Of course like all sov-nits, nothing is ever Bikle's fault.

It is surprising to me just how long he managed to spin this thing out. I don't know if it is finished with even now. It is as if everybody has all the time in the world to play along with Bickle's games and there seems to be an attempt by the court to give Mr. Bickle all the rope he needs, but a failure to hang him with it.

An in limine motion by the prosecution to exclude all arguments based on pseudo-law, the whole travelling, in commerce, no licence needed bushwah that have been brought up and discarded in many cases before, and has no reasonable prospect in this one. Bickle's arguments are vexatious and frivolous.

Wow, this sounds positively corrupt. I heard about the JEFS court system shutting down electronic access in 2018 during this case. When it came back online the traffic cases that never had any charges entered before, later all had "amended complaints" signed by the prosecutors to make it look like they had properly charged people as Bikle alleged wasn't being done. Bikle's case in the JEFS system is the only one in that time frame that did not have an amended complaint entered. I'm sure that would have been raised if it happened.



It's also interesting to note that Judge Freitas "retired" less than a month after he held the trial for this case and he wasn't 70

https://ballotpedia.org/Harry_P._Freitas

He retired upon completion of that term in May 2019.

But then he was rehired to act as a judge without a per diem title and wasn't listed in the list of employed judges. A call to the Hilo District Court traffic clerks office confirmed his active employment under this lesser status. Dirty dirty....

This entire case is dirty. No wonder the videos on youtube posted by this activist don't show up in google searches, with 10s of thousands of views, and yet court publications with a handful of views are the things promoted by google. I'd probably want to tap google for censorship if I behaved like this up on the bench for the camera...

In Case 2DTC-11-007594, the State issued to Armitage a citation, which includes the applicable HRS section
and name of each offense but not the elements or essential facts constituting each offense. At arraignment,
the State failed to orally recite the charge. Just before trial, Armitage waived an oral recitation of the charge.
See Hawai`i Rules of Penal Procedure Rule 5(b)(1) and 7(a). Notwithstanding Armitage's waiver, because the
State never apprised Armitage of the charge, the citation alone cannot within reason be construed to charge a
crime. See State v. Jendrusch, 58 Haw. 279, 281, 567 P.2d 1242, 1244 (1977).

Shady shady courts....

I don't know, this looks terrible.

I watched all the videos at least twice. I never heard any sovereign citizen arguments out of him or a demand to be shown the law. Do you have the right guy? You seem mistaken. Maybe you can paste the video with time so I can see this first hand.

Corruption will do that.
