We have many badly written laws here in the united states and probably around the world as well, and just because a legislature writes and passes a law does not make it a good law. Laws that harms or causes harm to people need to be Nullified by either other Legislatures or Juries on a case by case basis if necessary.
Most travelers do not realize this when they apply for a Drivers License. Drivers are legally defined a a person who transports products or people for a living, that means that most people who just transport their person or personal property are not legally classified as Drivers, but are just Travelers. A drivers license is not necessary for most travelers, yet the States charge a fee for a Drivers License without telling people they already have a Right to freely travel and the States use coersion to force people into purchasing a Drivers License when it is not necessary. This is fraud and deceptive Practices by the State. Now are these bad laws or not. You tell me. Are the states guilty of deceptive practices by doing this? Judges in almost every state have already stated the mode of travel is irrevelant, from a Horse drawn Buggy to a car, Pick-up Truck , motorcycle it doesn't matter what the mode of travel is.
All one has...

All one has to do is look up Traveling Right Vs-Privledge and one can see the many court decisions verrifying the Right to Travel is our natural Right and the Legislatures do not have the authority to take a Right and turn this Right into a State Sanctioned Privledge. If many more people were aware of this, we could force the State Legislatures to stop this practice and stop violating our natural laws.
Having said all of that - if it's a law that you truly disagree with, work on changing it. Breaking that law simply because you disagree with it is taking a risk. Some judges might agree with you, but many won't.
Please tell me again. If you were not forced by coersion using the police with the threat of a fine or a jail sentence to spend the $20-$30 or whatever it costs in your state that the State is not entitled to for a State sanctioned Drivers License every 4-6 years or whenever your drivers license expired in your State, that you would voluntarily donate this money to your state just for the claimed privledge to travel in your State is that correct, or would you prefer to actually exercise your Right to Travel freely.
If the State could charge you a $20-$30 fee for just walking down the sidewalk, would you also willingly pay this fee and actually believe it is a fair, just, or lawful fee, or would you be willing to learn about your Rights and file a lawsuit against the State for charging an unlawful tax or fee upon the citizens and attempt to get this unlawful law repealed or reversed?
I would compare this to.. having to have a licence to fly an airplane. It's a means of travel, but just because it's a means of travel doesn't automatically give you that right.
I personally agree with drivers licences though I admit that a lot of it could be done better. The cost could be lowered until it only basically covers it's own fees. However it does enable those who abuse the right through drunk driving, or reckless driving to have consequences. And what of those that refuse to drive with insurance? Accidents happen - often leading to life altering injuries which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or more.
While I do not like taxes, I do not agree with where all the money goes - I also know that they help pay for many of the programs and benefits we have as American citizens. As an example - one of the leading causes of death on the planet is simply not having access to clean water. Those of us blessed to be in America for the most part - do not need to deal...

I know my rights - I also know how to pick my battles and would prefer raising a stand over something much larger than needing a drivers licence.. such as the current foster care system.
This is still a Right and the States using coersion and fear rake in millions of dollars they are not entitled to from charging a fee for selling those state sanctioned Privledges, It is our absolute Right to use the roadways freely to transport our persons and our private property, the only people that can legally be charged a fee are the people who use the roads for a living these people such as Truck Drivers, Bus Drivers, Taxicab Drivers ect.. must purchase a Drivers License because the use the roads or highways for Commercial Activity, all other Travelers just use the highway for pleasure and are not required to purchase a Drivers License.
As far as the issue of not having clean water, that is the fault of the EPA itself, the EPA when they issue a fine to a Corporation, they only issue a fine of about $25,000 per citation, that fine makes if financially feasable for the Corporation to continue dumping because that fine is less then the Corporation...

In other words our EPA depatrment is a sham and actually works with and for the Big Corporations.
The system is broken, the money that goes into it is misplaced, but there are aspects of it that keep us as citizens safe. And when it comes down to it, you as a human being are born with very few 'rights'. The things we have in this country are blessings, not by birth entitlements. If you don't like the way the government in this country is run, work in a positive manner to change it - or take a look at how any other country works.
