Traveling Rights in New Hampshire?

[Chef]

Greetings!

I am interested in knowing what the present tolerance is in New Hampshire for people
who are traveling by natural Right (a lawfully recognized necessity) in their own
private rigs (not for purposes of commerce) rather than choosing to volunteer into a
contractual relationship with the State for it's permission to "drive" (transport
goods and services for a fee).
In other words how are people in New H. treated when law enforcement agents make
traffic stops and are informed by the traveler that they are not required to have a
driver's license (or other similar scenarios)? Are these travelers arrested? If
there is no auto insurance, do they have their cars impounded? Are they brought to
jail, booked and held in a cell for several hours, etc?  I ask these questions
because these are the conditions that I have found exist in California under color
of law.
If the treatment of freedom traveling people is considerably better in New Hampshire
than in (CA CA) California then you would have my sincere interest!

Thank you!

Just saying hello Chef     ...I'll let others answer your question.

Ooooookay, then.

The only question of yours that I can answer definitively is the question of insurance: New Hampshire does not require any insurance.

As for the rest of your questions: you're absolutely free to travel without police interference, as long as you're traveling on your own roads. When you're traveling on government-owned roads, you might run into a bit more resistance to your ideas.

Good luck with it, though. If you're starting from California, you have a lot of states to cross before worrying about NH.

I've put tens of thousands of miles on cars, from one end of the country to the other, with no license plate or registration.

Most of the time, it seems, the cops never even noticed, especially at night.

In Seattle, I blew by a cop parked in the median doing 75 in a 60. He didn't so much as move.

In rural Kansas I was doing 69 and a half in a 70. From behind me a state cop comes by doing 70. That was a very long ten minutes it took for him to come up behind me, pass me VERY slowly, and go off looking for a donut shop open at 3 am.

The NH cops will treat you very nicely.  They will ignore the lack of insurance.  Then they will ticket you for failure to produce a drivers license and send you on your way..walking!  And if your rig is not registered they will impound it.
Just like EVERY other state.

tell me more ... sounds like fun

In NH the auto registration includes a personal property tax.  So perhaps if you paid that tax, but didn't register the car, they'd be less inclined to bother you about it.

[Lloyd Danforth]

Lots of luck with that

Semi's will get routinely pulled over and inspected by state police... they do it a lot

weigh stations are rarely open.

I think I've said all I should say on a public forum.

the "natural right" that you speak of is a "common right of way" that is contained within the roadways and is the reason one can excercise our 1st amendment rights of speech, assemble, and redress of greivances upon a public sidewalk or with a permit in the roads...so long as we are not infringing on the equal rights of any other individuals to the same.

the actual roads themselves though are collectively owned and thus a privilege granted via license by the delegated authority and subject to the laws vested within that authority to regulate.

Need a license and registration, AND an inspection. They aren't lax about this here. I hear Badnarik gets away with it in Texas, but I thought the case he quotes is a TX supreme court case. You have every right to travel without a license, on foot, horse back, or bike. They don't honor the drivers license for commerce only argument.

Sorry I couldn't tell you something more positive.

When I get around to buying a car, I want to look into this whole buying a car directly from the factory thing. Badnarik has mentioned it on occasion. Something about if you buy a car directly from the manufacturer/factory, before the car has been registered with the state and had plates added to it, you can get away with not having plates or registration.

You mean it's legal? I dont think so. The laws on registartion vary by state and I dont think that it specifies how it was bought.

As he was around for a number of days during P'fest '05, I got to talk to Badnarik a few times.  I asked if it wasn't a pain in the ass trying to get around while constantly being stopped, arrested, Bail, Hearing, car imponded, etc. while trying to enjoy his rights and constantly explaining them anew in each new juristiction.
He explained that the one court case was dropped, during trial, I think, when the Prosecuter saw how he was going to present his case.
Since his Presidential run he doesn't drive unregistered, unlicensed.  I don't think he drives at all.
As I remember he understood and I think agreed that it is often more economical to, simply eat some of the crap, registraton, license, etc. and get around and Be around to take part in the revolution.
