Subject: SLS: CITIZEN'S ARREST, CITIZEN'S ARREST! (fwd)
One more thing: I failed to mention a very
important feature of these two human rights
treaties. In the event that the United States
(federal government) should fail to perform
its affirmative obligations under these treaties,
Congress expressly reserved to the localities
legal standing to sue the United States to
compel its obedience to same. These reservations
were attached to the treaties, as special U.S.
riders which were not attached by other nations,
because of our unique governmental system here.
States of the Union are "localities," as that
term was intended in the reservations. So,
state courts DO have jurisdiction over such
a Citizen's arrest, particularly since murder
by someone alleging to be a federal officer,
but failing to produce certified evidence of same,
is a felony. In Arizona, the arresting Citizen
does not need to be an eyewitness to the felony.
Once the suspect enters the territorial jurisdiction
of the state, the suspect is subject to the
jurisdiction of that state, pursuant to the
Privileges and Immunities Clause, and the explicit
grant of standing to the state in actions to compel
U.S. obedience to same.
I hope this helps. You need to know about these
reservations, because they are not normally
published with the treaties proper.

See the Privileges and Immunities Clause,
at Article 4, Section 2, Clause 1.
Reno is also claiming federal authority,
so all kinds of federal laws can be brought
against her, such as 18 U.S.C. 242 and 241.
Moreover, all federal judges are currently
paying taxes on their pay, in violation of
Article III, Section 1, so the state judicial
authorities are now superior, under two
international human rights treaties --
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
and the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights.
If you don't have them, I can supply them
here.
