tall tale
This whole story is a bunch of bull hockey. For one thing, if a defendant stands mute and refuses to enter a plea, the judge must enter a plea of "not guilty" on his behalf. You cannot and will not be allowed to tie up a court by refusing to plead.
And the "this court has no jurisdiction over me unless I consent to it argument" is a 100% loser argument, as I have shown by numerous case citations.
Anyway, an attorney I know in South Carolina did some checking with the North Carolina court, and based on the county and case number given, this guy was only ever charged with no proof of insurance. And he was found not guilty, but a lot of times the judge will let you off if you actually had insurance at the time in question but just did not have the paper card to show the officer. Big whoop.
So...this guy told a lot of tall tales (also known as lies) about what happened in his case. Fairly typical in the wingnut community. He wants to look impressive to his drinking buddies, truth be damned.

We decline that invitation. - State v. Skurdal, Supreme Court of Montana, 235 Mont. 291, 767 P.2d 304 at 308 (1988).
