The laws apply to you whether you consent or not. In Skurdal, it was the criminal and traffic laws of Montana.

There is no such thing as "the laws"; even an illiterate can see that. There are "such laws that apply in this case"

Traffic is a perfect example. There is one law for residents, and another for 'nonresidents'. Same place, same persons, different rules.

Want a criminal example? Try frauds. There has to be a relationship of some sort ('consent') between the parts to ever get so far as ' harm by deceit'.

Or all those statutes that criminally enforce contracts...and military law comes to mind as well, for those who have consented to join that 'state'.


Since there are clearly situations where it is commonly understood to be possible the voluntary origin of the jurisdiction...makes one wonder if perhaps there is more than meets the eye in law: a fictional system to regulate fictional persons.

Of course everything really just happens randomly, no rhyme or reason whatsoever...one star however is firm in the heavens: always "get" a lawyer, any lawyer, and DO EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS! No arguments! Pay up and shut up, doctor knows best.
