6,000 by 6,000, revenue sends out illegal stingers to ‘unconfirmeds’ in TN
I am readying a 200pp analysis by way of a motion for summary judgment to overthrow mass breach of T.C.A. §55-12-201 et seq, the motor vehicle surveillance tower operating illegally 99.9% of time
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Saturday Sept. 7, 2024 – The mail room at the Tennessee department of revenue contractor is busy every Monday morning getting together that day’s mail, operating as a hot rake upon the people in Tennessee destined to receive them 3 or 4 days later.
This morning 6,000 notices are going out to people under the department revenue’s Eye of Sauron operation, called EIVS, acronym for electronic insurance verification system, the means by which DOR enforces “mandatory insurance” in a voluntary insurance state whose citizens have known nothing different.
Every Wednesday the same procedure takes place.
The vendor serving DOR, i3 Verticals, sends out 6,000 letters by way of notice to a randomly selected pool of motor vehicle owners who have their cars registered with the department for use as motor vehicles. The notices are any one of four that the person “unconfirmed” for insurance will receive if that person does not obtain insurance or alternative proof of financial responsibility.
According to my lawsuit, David Jonathan Tulis v. department of revenue, the agency is running a shakedown of the public apart from the law.
It is using Eye of Sauron technology that searches 350 insurance company databases and matches VINs with insurance policies. If a car is determined not to be covered by insurance, that person is subject to revocation that concludes a barrage of four letters. The entire process is automated, and manager Jennifer Lanfair says no human eyeball touches any one revocation or the perston against whom it attaches.
“It is [an] automated process,” she says, “that ishandled by our vendor. There is no human interaction with that process.”
1 in 6 cars ‘uninsured’
Roughly 6.34 million cars are registered as motor vehicles with the department through the registration process. More than a million people are “unconfirmed” as to insurance, and it’s only a matter of time before a motorist gets targeted by what an agency official calls a random drawing from the pool.
Registration is required for all people who use their cars for hire by carrying other goods or people for private profit and gain. The fraud of the insurance requirement is a sidebar in a larger fraud upon the public in which the state effectively coerces every adult to convert a car into an “instrumentality of commerce” under federal law.
My suit brings up this larger issue through its defense of travel and the private (non-commercial) use of the road.
I determine under study of the law that the program is rogue, without any legal foundation, even though DOR has 20 people on the payroll to run it. Jason Mumpower, comptroller of the treasury and fraud watchdog, is unconcerned. Jonathan Srkmetti, the attorney general, also unconcerned. I have sent each two letters detailing results of my investigation.
Longstanding abuse of the citizenry
The corruption is so deep, and so longstanding, no one dares even notice it. “Mandatory insurance is just the way it is.” I cannot provoke the conservative press nor the liberal press to take interest in this fleecing operation generating up two F$2 billion a year in free premiums for insurers.
More than 18,000 lawyers work in Tennessee, and not one of them has actually read the law in defense of the innocent and the poor from misuse of police power, jails, courts and tow trucks. In innumerable courts and DA’s offices, no one has read the Tennessee financial responsibility law.
It has fallen to me and the Gnomes, an unusual group of men who live otherwise common, even poorly, workaday lives, to defeat this scam as a matter of law.
i3 Verticals’ seamless integration
Put this on the prayer list.
