A ‘self-driving’ citizen has collided with a police officer after being asked to show his driver’s license and take a random breath test on the side of the road.
NSW man Glen Short filmed his tense interaction with a Wollongong Highway Patrol Officer on the side of a busy highway on Monday.
“Interesting armed foreign agent trying to contract with a self-controlled man this morning,” he captioned the video later uploaded to Facebook.
The officer is seen with a breath analyzer informing Mr. Short that he is being recorded on his bodycam footage, to which the driver complies.
However, the conversation takes a dramatic turn when the “self-governing” citizen accuses the agent of accessing his personal information without his consent.

‘Do you agree that I have said to you that this is a commercial contract with roads and maritime services, and that it is a separate venture for NSW Police Force, which is another ABN – so you had no permission from me, that I am the beneficiary and executor of that legal fictitious name,” Mr. Short tells the officer.
“You weren’t authorized to even look up the details of that commercial contract with the RMS because you’re a separate company. I study law.’
The officer tells Mr. Short that since he drives a motor vehicle in NSW, he must undergo random breath tests and hand over his driver’s license.
“I’m not driving a motor vehicle, I’m traveling,” Mr. Short fires back.
“That would be if you trade, I’m actually traveling.”
The officer warns Mr. Short that if he does not comply, he will be arrested.
In turn, Mr Short claims he could not be arrested because ‘the state of New South Wales is registered in Washington DC with the Security Exchange Commission’ and required an ASIC form ‘to legally conduct business in this country’.
‘Yes, no, I’ve told you before. I don’t know what you’re talking about,” replies the increasingly exasperated cop.
He then tells Mr. Short that he has been arrested and tries to open the driver’s door.
“You are entering my private property,” the driver tells the officer.
“You are not allowed to enter my private property.”
Mr. Short quickly rolls up his window as the cop grabs hold of the glass.
“I now place you under penalty of perjury. You must provide material proof that you are not a company,” he repeated to the officer.
‘I know the law very well. I study contract law.’

Mr. Short claims he falls under the jurisdiction of the ‘worldwide federal postal courts’ and accuses the officer of identifying him by a ‘legal fictitious name’.
He says he is a student of Mark-Kishon Christopher, the self-proclaimed plenipotentiary judge of the worldwide postal court.
The officer enters information into a device as Mr Short continued to rant before bizarrely claiming to have ‘punched’ the Chief Magistrate in Sydney.
“You’re next in court. You will be held liable,’ he says to the agent, before the images suddenly disappear.
“Here’s the point… I wouldn’t have posted this video if it hadn’t tried to break the window of my private property,” Mr Short later wrote on Facebook.
“Who gives a person the right to think he is superior to another unless he is found guilty of a serious crime by a court of competent jurisdiction?
It’s lucky it wasn’t shattered. Absolutely not on.’
A spokesperson for NSW Police has confirmed that no charges have been filed, but that the traffic stop is still under investigation.
