Whether the State of Mississippi is in direct conflict of the due process protections provided in the 14th, 5th, and 6th Amendments

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Questions Presented . 1. Whether the State of Mississippi is in direct conflict of the due process protections provided in the 14th, 5th, and 6th Amendments when they use a Uniform Traffic Ticket that does not “set out facts sufficient to constitute a crime”, as they have no state law, and they only cite National Driver Register codes (federal record keeping codes), on the charging document and then tries the defendant on State Statutes that are not on any sworn charge. 2. Whether the State of Mississippi is in direct conflict with Cheek v U.S. when they enhance their fines “greatly in excess of the normal tax imposed” without any evidence or testimony of the defendant’s “willfully or wantonly” violating any law. 3. Whether the Mississippi’s “right to counsel” rules and legislation are in conflict with the 6th Amendment guarantee to “assistance of counsel” when a defendant’s “assistance of counsel” is limited to those that are lawyering forprofit, which are “licensed attorneys”. 4. Whether a State, that has a two-tier system, violates the 14th and 5th ; amendment due process protections when it mandates the imposition of substantial financial burdens on a defendant to chill the exercise of his absolute right to a trial de novo where full constitutional protections are available. i ee Interested Parties There are no
