I am curious if North Carolina state laws can be legally enforce on the Cherokee Reservation. I have asked lawyers in North Carolina but have yet to get a clear answer. A state trooper tried to infer I violated a law on US highway as if that was a federal offense. However the law cited is a state law. I will fight the ticket on November 17th on this and other grounds.

Please don't bother lecturing me about obeying the law or wasting your time telling me how to live; I just want an answer with a verifiable source cited.

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

I am amazed of the number of people who clearly do not ride or have any knowledge of motorcycles yet feel they know what is best for us. It makes me laugh when a non-rider tries to tell me how to ride or what to wear. http://www.fastfreds.com/articles/editor-bio.html

I noticed a question in this forum that referenced my acts of civil disobedence in North Carolina in opposition to their helmet law. To set the record straight there are NO points against your license or insurance attached to the ticket for failure to wear a helmet. Furthermore the G.A. of NC has set the fine to $25 and court costs to $75; you pay court cost whether ot not you fight the ticket. Learn more at http://fastfreds.com/trips/cherokee/index.htm
