More proof from New York DMV that your PERSONAL & PRIVATE vehicle is EXEMPT !

Exactly! They can nail you for being irresponsible financially.

It was "voluntary".

There was an unexplained recess for 15 minutes or so. That is when I should have concluded business but some of the officer/witnesses I am sure would have stopped me or worse.

Since I had not volunteered for jail twice before, the same magistrate (judge) - she had me handcuffed and remanded directly to the jail.

Re: voluntary -So if you said, "I object" to them cuffing you, they would have let you go?

From what I gather, its mainly to do with 'covenants' and/or 'risk mitigation'. Also, if the Plantation is commercial, being a 'resident' or 'employee' of the Plantation might make it challenging to counter the commercial presumption. The DMV likely doesn't issue titles to non-residents--why is that? Out of Plantation out of mind. Even though I can rightfully take control of an automobile and privately travel by that means, IMHO its a good idea to file a bond or deposit $ with the State to cover potential loss, injury or damage or something like that. From what I gather, they are trained (perhaps to support weird or wild presumptions) to presume intentional destructiveness on your part. If you deposit $50K or w/e in cash with them for covering damages you might never cause, it removes their 'intent to destroy' or incompetency presumptions.

In contrast, consider some 'countries' if you were to accidentally hit, mame or kill someone who hopped out in front of your car and you were to stop to help them, their relatives would kill you on sight: presuming that you INTENDED to do it or even just killing you for 'balance' because you killed or mamed their relative. To the extent that the consulate would tell its citizens/nationals when travelling in such places to go to the nearest police station and rather than stopping to give immediate assistance if one hits someone who stepped out of the woods to your surprise. Puts things in perspective. At least over there you have to actually injure someone first!
