How to not pay road tolls

Post by native pepper »

Seems our governments and big business have been operating outside the constitution and one smart bloke has been using the constitution to not pay tolls for years. The constitution states that only legal tender, in the form of gold or silver can be used to pay debt, which opens up a can of worms for all who want to get out of demands for payment via any other means.

"The 68-year-old, who wants to use coins, has sent refusals to every fine and demand notice from Queensland Motorways since July 2011 to the point they have stopped bothering.

Since then, he has badgered Queensland Motorways, Queensland Transport and the State Penalties Enforcement Registry (SPER) with handwritten letters outlining his “constitutional right” to pay with actual money at the location of the charge."

Read about it early this morning on ABC news and a couple of other news services, when I looked for it later today, it had disappeared from all the major news outlets, so had to search for it and only found these two articles. It certainly opens up a lot of doors for all who still want to use real money and would be a way to stop government banks and big businesses forcing us into a cashless society. They would have to change the constitution to do that and doubt the people would agree. Although the young of today would probably agree with it, they seem to have no idea of the reality of the world.
