Lee team rejects law 706 days; during suit 78,979 people illegally convicted
Program corrupts judges, police departments, sheriff's departments and the lawyer craft
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Wednesday, July 2, 2025 — Tennessee’s corrupt department of revenue insists on having the last word in my bid to overthrow the “Eye of Sauron” surveillance and revocation system and to restore my suspended registration tag.
Deputy commissioner Christine Lapps refuses to deal with my motion for reconsideration which summarizes the department’s scandalous view including the new statement that it doesn’t have to obey the law and doesn’t have to answer my case because the word certified is not defined in the Tennessee financial responsibility act of 1977.
She says my petition “does not raise new facts or arguments that ‘could not have been presented during the earlier adjudicated motion.’ While it responds to specific points in the final order upon agency review and initial order, it does not present new argument or authority — it only ‘rehash[es] the arguments already decided by the court. *** The agency declines to reconsider the final order upon agency review under these circumstances.”
My case has been active in the department 706 days, just shy of two years. It’s been heard under the uniform administrative procedures act.
I have been fighting to restore my 200) Honda Odyssey minivan into the high status of motor vehicle by having it registered with the department as an instrumentality of commerce. In the course of aggressively litigated proceedings, 78,979 innocent Tennesseans have been convicted of “driving without insurance.”
My case argues that the only parties who have to show evidence or proof of financial responsibility are people in a qualifying accident or who have suspended licenses. This latter group gets the use of their license and tag on condition of insurance. The insurance they have to buy is a unique financial product that is certified by the insurer. It’s called the motor vehicle liability policy.
I will be seeking judicial review in either Hamilton or Davidson County chancery court. I am suing commissioner David Gerregano in federal court, and have appealed a negative ruling in Davidson County chancery court over the issue of standing.
Corruption penetrates deeply
The corruption of DOR is allied with that of department of safety, whose commissioner Jeff Long I am also suing to halt the program. The grift penetrates into every courtroom in the state’s 95 counties and 346 incorporated municipalities with their own courts and police departments.
It involves every city, general sessions, circuit and criminal court judge in cooperating with the scam, compromising their ethics and morals. It causes every attorney who doesn’t bring up the issue of nonliability of most of the traveling public to violate his ethical rules and duty to not cooperate with criminal activity.
It implicates district attorneys who prosecute “no insurance” cases without feeling any need to read the clear law that focuses on the “motor vehicle liability policy,” a unique certified insurance policy for high-risk motorists
Gov. Bill Lee is defending the program, using the office of Jonathan Skrmetti, attorney general. In the state and federal cases he has assigned three attorneys to canoodle the judges and keep the roads unsafe for travelers, with cops, deputies and troopers crowbarred into their role as brigand.
The program abuses hundreds of thousands of poor who invariably are among the 1 million-person pool from whom revenue draws its victims using i3 Verticals, its contractor to notify and revoke insurance industry noncustomers without any human interaction with the process.
