State law enforcement agencies will be checking for both valid drivers’ licenses and possession of wildlife in upcoming checkpoints across Kansas on Sunday, Nov. 12.
“Upland bird, deer and migratory bird seasons will be underway, and these checkpoints are intended to help enforce state and federal wildlife laws, as well as the state’s driver’s licensing laws,” Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks & Tourism said in a release.
Depending on the location, state troopers or county sheriff’s officers will enforce the first check by ensuring drivers are properly licensed to drive. If a driver does not have a valid license, appropriate enforcement actions will be taken. The department said drivers should expect minimal delay.
Drivers will also be asked if they are hunters or transporting wildlife. If you answer yes to either of the questions, you will be directed to a check lane where game wardens will check for required licenses and permits. They will also count the number of wildlife you have and gather biological, harvest and hunter success information. The check is expected to cause minimal delay.
The locations listed below may be used, depending on both weather conditions and available staff. Wildlife checkpoints in addition to those listed will occur around the state through both the fall and winter hunting seasons.

BULLSH#T!!!!!
THEY’RE DESIGNED TO EXTRACT MAMMON… NOTHING MORE!
This is not an easy struggle, but you can end up like several others before you, and go as you please without a license, registration, or insurance.
“All citizens must be free to travel throughout the United States uninhibited by statutes, rules, and regulations…” SHAPIRO v. THOMPSON 394 US 618
“The RIGHT of the citizen TO TRAVEL UPON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS and to transport his property thereon, either by horse-drawn carriage OR BY AUTOMOBILE, IS NOT A MERE PRIVILEGE which the city may prohibit or permit at will, BUT IS A COMMON RIGHT.” THOMPSON v. SMITH, 155 Va 367
“The use of the highway for the purpose of travel and transportation is not a mere privilege, but a common fundamental right of which the public and individuals cannot rightfully be deprived.” CHICAGO MOTOR COACH v. CHICAGO, 169 NE 221
”If the state does convert your right into a privilege and issue a license and charge a fee for it, you can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right with impunity.” SHUTTLESWORTH v. BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, 373 US 262
My car is NOT a “Motor Vehicle”
USC Title 18, § 31 9(6) – Definition of “Motor Vehicle”:
“The term “motor vehicle” means every description of carriage or other contrivance propelled or drawn by mechanical power and used for commercial purposes on the highways in the transportation of passengers and property, or property or cargo.”
USC Title 18, § 31(10) – Definition of “Commercial Purposes”:
“The term “used for commercial purposes” means the carriage of the persons or property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking for profit.”
So your car, SUV, or motorcycle is only a “commercial vehicle” if you are getting paid to “drive” it. If you are only using it to travel around to go to work, school, groceries, or any other private reason then it IS NOT A “MOTOR VEHICLE”.
Here is the dilemma, when the government started requiring the commercial vehicles to be registered and licensed it made that a regulable activity for that purpose. They made everyone else believe it was the same for the general public. The police, you and all your friends are taught that you are always ‘operating’ a ‘motor vehicle’ which are both commercial regulable activites.
