He tries the sovcit playbook all throughout his trial, winds up in jail, then gets busted on a bond violation and sticks to the script *from inside his holding cell?!* I don't know if the phrase "stuck on stupid" has ever been more applicable to a defendant.
Sovereign citizens remind me that "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Love all the judges who have learned how to grey rock these deluded defendants.
Yah, except that's not the definition of insanity. Legally, insanity is the inability to understand that a behavior is wrong... inability to form the mens rea (the guilty mind). Outside of law, insanity is the inability to perceive the world accurately, or think rationally, or both.
@@JonathanLandon yes, I agree. I know that definition isn't the legal one in any court, nor will it ever be found in the DSM, but I often hear it, and hear it attributed to various sources, and always think of it when I see a repeating sovereign citizen such as Mr.Martin.
This also applies to the Judges. If he has violated bond conditions and claims that no bond conditions apply to him, there is only one reasonable option. Hold until trial.
“Mr Martin you have the choice between being reasonable or staring with the cold dead eyes of a beached salmon mouth always slightly open screaming nailed together non legal rants only understandable by the most unemployed people in society” “Your honour Ngl the second one sounds pretty good”
I am a big Eric Martin fan. The dude brings a confidence and bravado, like he's about to turn the legal system on it's head. He has absolutely no qualms about telling the judge about the law, despite only having like 6th grade education. He brings the same arguments every time, it never works, but that doesn't ever stop him. Like, if nothing else, you have to respect the confidence. Like, I'm not nearly that confident about stuff that I'm really good at 🤣
Im so glad they are bringing him up on this violation. I thought after the last hearing that they were going to let it slide. I'm relieved for his brother.
One would think jail would soften these sovcits up and kind of get them to realize that this ideology and script is getting them nowhere, it's just causing them to waste their lives in a cell. However, Martin seems angrier and more emboldened than ever in this clip. He almost seemed more unsure of himself and polite back when he was arguing with Rachel Mcduffie, but here he seems angry, indignant, and more fiery than ever. Just a flat out shame that he's gonna take this to the grave apparently and never realize how ridiculous it is.
Sometimes I wonder if the sovcit stuff just grows stronger in prison like a cult. I mean if there is a belief system that you have a sovereign right to do what you want and not follow laws, being an oppressed victim in the system looks good.
FINALLY! A judge who runs her courtroom on the court's terms, not indulging the SovCit's ramblings and time wastings. "This is your opportunity to speak. Go. Time's up. I will mark that as non-responsive." And my favorite: "This is the part where I give you information. You can choose to listen or not." While he's on mute so he can't disrupt the proceedings. Absolute CHEF'S KISS 👌💘
Seeing the Water Tower lit up for Christmas reminds me of Christmas in Chicago as a kid. Four years ago I took my wife and young adult sons up there for Thanksgiving and most of the Christmas holiday and they absolutely loved it. We saw the play of the Grinch at the theater and it was really nice.
He's basically in a row with his brother, his brother says Eric assaulted him, Eric says there's no evidence (obviously not the same as "it didn't happen...") The police attend. Anyone care to guess WHY the police might believe the brother enough to arrest Eric? Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how Eric was behaving, compared to his brother? Then with his whole "jurisdiction / due process nonsense, he keeps going back to the house his bond conditions say he's not allowed to go to. If you listen to his rambling today, he says he's entitled to go there, so if / when he gets out, he's going to go straight back. He continually makes things worse for himself, and it's only going to escalate in terms of bond conditions and sentencing. It's not going to be long before he stops getting bonds at all
Mike, you deserve a giant award for taping the worst of the worst mockable characters. This take on Eric Martin is a close tie with your coverage of Chili fake-crying in court. Laughed all the way through the song. GREAT WORK!!!!
Holy shit that song at the end was amazing, I hadn't heard that LOL. That was fantastic, thanks for playing that! Edit: Ok, this is a certified banger track. Where can we download this? I tried searching UA-cam for Sovereign Idiot song but got no good hits on it. We need that link in the description Mike! this song is fantastic!
It’s really hard to believe that someone could be this mule headed and obstinate. He keeps saying the same thing. Luckily they are all familiar with his arguments and just ignore him. He obviously did not learn from Judge Slavin’s lecture. And we are so lucky that every hearing and trial he has will be on UA-cam. Eric Martin is the gift that keeps giving. Merry Christmas, Mr. Martin!
We need a scorecard here to figure out how much time he's spent in jail in 2024. He's been in jail 3 times that I know of, including this current hold.
I’ll bet every dime I have that he goes straight back to that house whenever he is released. He’s not smart enough to realize that the whole “I’m a sov cit and don’t need to follow any rules” isn’t working for him at all.
I could understand if the sovereign thing worked even ONE time. But trying it over and over again reminds me of a child wearing a superman costume and insisting he can now fly despite proof to the contrary....
The Judge is wonderful & her "tired" voice to this duffer is delightful. The only people that ever talk to knuckles is the Judge or a lawyer who's been told to speak to him. An absolute 100% Billy No Mates, this bloke !!! 😂😂😂
Not defending him . This guy Martin is pathetic . DOES HE REALLY NEED THIS MUCH ATTENTION . He lives for drama . When is enough , enough . When is he going to realize that the whole world isn't wrong and only he is right . And he keeps on victimizing his family . He needs to start getting as much jail time whenever so as to keep him away from society . GROW UP MARTIN .
I know that face well I actually had a really weird movement disorder triggered by extreme emotions and I have a eye muscle condition that basically prevents me from rolling my eyes or going cross BUT when my kids basically dropped kicked my last nerve my movement disorder would kick in and my eye like D's dropped halfway and my eyes rolled into back head and I would just wait until I was able to see again but in honor of the potato heads on toy story and I think my most challenging daughter said it best when another kid asked what was wrong with my face: "Oh, don't worry, she is ok,that's just what happens when we do something so bad her eyes decide they don't want to look at us anymore" She wasn't wrong, people would accuse of me faking it or lying about not being able to roll my eyes if I could do that but it was 100% involuntary Sometimes my eye lids would flutter open and closed and I remember once I was telling them again to knock it off before they break something only to watch something fall and shatter,i could feel my eyes fluttering and heard one kid go 'oh no, look at her eyes' and another said 'we need to go to our rooms QUICK!' and then heard them disperse I was a therapeutic foster parent so they knew I wasn't gonna hurt them BUT I am a master lecturer and they'd rather be spanked then lectured so those darling kids quietly hid in their rooms for hours that day to avoid a lecture Ofcourse they all listened for mom to leave the area and one darted out of the room to clean the mess up, they didn't throw it away Incase they needed to try and fix it but they didn't want to ask me what to do with it while I was upset either I don't even remember what broke,I just remember sitting on the toilet that afternoon and not a single kid walking in and thinking 'worth it' They did apologize but all went to bed without a fight Rest assured,that one kid I actually birthed moved back in with and just turned 20 and he currently had a bad infection in his ear cause he wouldn't stop messing with it and scratched it and the scratch became infected So yeah, kids be kids even when they be 20
You know the silly thing is these accusations against Martin might be totally false, but his failure to participate meaningfully in the court process has hampered him at every turn. Martin just can’t seem to grasp that his disagreement with court process is meaningless, his demands won’t be met, and he can’t direct or bully the court etc ..
Judge Shakelford's face is priceless when she sees the case. It's her "I can't believe I have to deal with this clown again" face.
you hit the nail right on the head in that description.
I like to imagine Martins brother sitting at home watching these videos and laughing hysterically.
He tries the sovcit playbook all throughout his trial, winds up in jail, then gets busted on a bond violation and sticks to the script *from inside his holding cell?!* I don't know if the phrase "stuck on stupid" has ever been more applicable to a defendant.
From a cell, yelling, "You don't have jurisdiction!" 😂
His "STUPID" dial is turned all the way up to 11, or maybe even 12!
Him and Sarah Boone should get married and just stay in jail forever, arguing and talking over each other for eternity
Gotta give this goofball credit for determination. 😂
@@kneel1 HA HA HA!!! Love it.
Oh man, Judge almost got me to do a spit take when she asked him if he wanted her to enter a plea, or if he wanted to ramble about jurisdiction! 😂🤭😅
She's had it with his crap.
Same, that was too funny.
I love that he unironically says "the fraudulent presumption that you have jurisdiction over me" from a jail cell.
I'm really unclear what he thinks jurisdiction even is at that point...
The irony is way past his understanding
@@urbanarmory He just knows he’s special and doesn’t have to follow the rules.
He keeps using BIG BOY words but rarely know what they mean. Just ask Sarah Boone. 😅
Eric Martin, the gift that keeps on giving 😂😂😂
Judge Slaven told him what would happen if he went back to Mommy's house....
Yep. He was very clear. Slavin is gonna let him have it
12 days in jail - literally just after he got out (like the next day I believe).
That may the greatest song of all time! Yah baby!
@@stevecrompton9910do you know the artist or have a link to it?
I find Mr. Martin endlessly entertaining! He has become my favourite SovCit to watch!
She is soooooo done with him, and Judge Slaven already told him that wasn't his house
Mr. Martin seems to get his legal advise from the law firm of Dunning & Kruger.
Underrated comment. 😂
For the Love of God, can someone please send Judge Shackelford a gift basket, gift cards, a trip to Hawaii. God bless that woman!
The description of Eric Martin as being dense, Is very accurate!
Dense as wood, think ebony not pine.
If Eric Martin had walk-up music, it would be "Ramble On", or "Rambling Man". There needs to be a dedicated Eric Martin channel. Oh wait, it's here!

@@JonathanLandon It's a popular saying, not a definition.
No one wants Eric Martin in jail more than Eric Martin.
Say what you will about Eric Martin, but he is a never-ending barrel of entertainment. He's working on a saga
“Mr Martin you have the choice between being reasonable or staring with the cold dead eyes of a beached salmon mouth always slightly open screaming nailed together non legal rants only understandable by the most unemployed people in society”
“Your honour Ngl the second one sounds pretty good”
Great analysis!
Sending my heart felt condolences about Jeff @Legal Vices, I know your are friends.
yes and Michael Rivers too. horrible news I only found out about both today
I like how she just keeps going. This court will not be dragged down.
He's trying so hard to be right, yet keeps finding out every time that he's wrong.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have found it out yet, no matter how often anyone tells him.
He's one stubborn man. It's aging him quickly.
Oh, he KNOWS he's right.
Delusion is a helluva drug.
He might be right , but he still gets locked up.
@Collageartist69 To anybody less delusional, that's the best evidence that he *isn't* right, but that's not something he's ever going to see.
Plot twist; Eric Martin has reward points for being in jail. He’s two stays away from a complimentary year in Fiji!!!
I got to say, I really like angry Eric Martin better then calm Eric Martin. It's way more entertaining. lol
Love how she keeps talking, so he can't, good stuff Judge 👏
eric the slug martin. looks like he's taking a walk on the wild side with that eye shadow. you go eric
I am a big Eric Martin fan. The dude brings a confidence and bravado, like he's about to turn the legal system on it's head.

He made 6th Grade wow
The judge treats his responses as if they were the sounds of adults in old Peanuts cartoons "Wap wah wap"
@4:41 😂 she already knows his antics.
Looks like he’s going to spend the holidays in jail.
Im so glad they are bringing him up on this violation. I thought after the last hearing that they were going to let it slide. I'm relieved for his brother.
After all he's been thru. He stays with it. Delusion at its best. Thx
Fraudulent presumption that you have jurisdiction over me- he’s in jail!
Mike, I ❤ how you inspire pop punk jams!
Martin's face speaks volumes, if those volumes have mostly blank pages with the occasional handwritten list of why he hates his brother.
Eric the Eel martin back in the deep end and drowning yet again.
One would think jail would soften these sovcits up and kind of get them to realize that this ideology and script is getting them nowhere, it's just causing them to waste their lives in a cell.

But, but, I read somewhere, I can’t remember where right now that what I’m saying is right. You need to give me 4 months extension to research it!
He’s mad because he keeps getting kidnapped by the police.
The gift that keeps on giving.

This was the perfect stream....we just adopted/rescued a pup, and he's having a rough night while acclimating.
AWWW❤ PUPPY 🐶
Awww, poor little pupper🐶I hope he’s feeling a bit more settled Fancy Pants🙋🏽♀️💋

It's the prisoner in the background shouting at Eric Martin to shut up that's the icing on the cake.
The Song Is Gold.
Martin is the living definition of 'perserverates'.
He's basically in a row with his brother, his brother says Eric assaulted him, Eric says there's no evidence (obviously not the same as "it didn't happen...")
The police attend. Anyone care to guess WHY the police might believe the brother enough to arrest Eric? Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how Eric was behaving, compared to his brother?

Looking at him, one sees another take on the concept of hardened criminal.
Is this Martin's idea of living his best life? Nothing would surprise me.
i think so. I cant imagine going through life like this, I think something is wrong with him
@@kneel1 I agree. I sense an element of desperation which seems to come from his mannerisms. I could be wrong, of course.
The Judge looks so excited to call up this case...
"NOW!"
Hahahahahahahaha
Weee doggie! He sure can say a lot of words that he doesn't understand! It's like throwing a dictionary at someone!
Judge Shackleford is over him. 😅
“Or do you just want to ramble about jurisdiction?” Translation: I’m regretting becoming a judge.
He is NEVER going to change his ways, keep him in prison
I think he is getting more unhinged and might be dangerous at this point, no joke
dude is literally in jail and still thinks they don't have jurisdiction, i mean, i cant even... what!!???
Crazy, right??
oh but he doesn't consent to that
It seems the court does have jurisdiction.
"Just a sovereign idiot" - great song. The lyrics are perfect. Kudos to the creator. Looking forward to the link.
So he’s in jail but doesn’t think the court has jurisdiction over him???
I Think poor Eric is slipping deeper into the rabbit hole, if such a thing is even possible.
🎵🎶 outro was a Chefs kiss!,😂 🤌
Why do people think that "freedom of speech" means they can say whatever they want whenever they want?
Minus consequences......that's what they ignore, too.
Catchy tune…!!
Best picture of Mr. Martin I have ever seen. ROFLMAO
Idk maybe it’s me but this judge is attractive to me 😌
it's you. not that I disagree.
She does seem to be a bit more made up than usual this time. Regardless, anyone who refuses to put up with sovcitiot crap is kinda hot imho.
No she is a cutie
@AlwaysAtMe Yeah. She is attractive.
Yeah, she's a hottie!
Aww look at his little face
I love how his lips keep moving even after the judge mutes him.
So both his sister and his brother have dv cases against him? I thought the last one was from a sister.
the whole family has been trying to get him out for 8 years apparently and he constantly keeps getting charged
@@kneel1 Feel so sorry for them. They need to try harder, for their own sanity. That's what evictions are for.
The brother has some health issues. He was in the hospital during one of Eric's appearences.@@Carol-er2fb
Nice background 🎄❄️☃️
We need a scorecard here to figure out how much time he's spent in jail in 2024. He's been in jail 3 times that I know of, including this current hold.
Watching from Cozumel. Perfect warm and not to hot. :)
Thanks so so much for the gifted membership
....and the cow jumped over the moon.
I don't think he will ever learn. He's gonna end up doing some time at some point and will get out and just start all over again.
"I don't want you to fraudulently believe that you have jurisdiction over me." - Said while in custody at jail.
I love this judge!
I’ll bet every dime I have that he goes straight back to that house whenever he is released. He’s not smart enough to realize that the whole “I’m a sov cit and don’t need to follow any rules” isn’t working for him at all.
Red shoe diaries is something I haven’t heard of in a LONG time
just missed it lol but lord help up these people dont stop Mike will never run out of content lol
Please mike, upload the full version of "I'm a sovereign!" And "This is law talk with mike." as separate videos. I want to listen to them on repeat. 😍
Awesome song! ❤️❤️❤️
Red shoe diaries. I murdered so many socks to that show in my late teens. Joey from Friends was on an episode. And that one might be my favorite.
I could understand if the sovereign thing worked even ONE time.
But trying it over and over again reminds me of a child wearing a superman costume and insisting he can now fly despite proof to the contrary....
The Judge is wonderful & her "tired" voice to this duffer is delightful.
The only people that ever talk to knuckles is the Judge or a lawyer who's been told to speak to him.

He thrives on attention. He has found an audience where he can play the victimised legal expert.
Best SovCit ballad I have ever heard. ROFLMAO
Mike we know when your Fez goes on the fun is about to start !!! 😂😂😂
“You don’t have jurisdiction over me”, he says, from the jail that has him locked up🤣😂🤣😂
An now i am hearing Led Zepplin's 'Ramble On' on a loop in my head! I've spent worse afternoons! 😂
This guy has the IQ of a goat
Insult no goat !😡😡😂😂
Literally less brain activity than a tub of yoghurt
He wishes that he was that smart.
Don't insult goats like that bro
He is not stupid , he is just stubborn and only listens to himself.
Is there a Nobel Prize for stupidity ?
I remember that face she’s pulling ……it was the one I pulled when one of the kids had done the same thing for the hundredth irritating time…🥴
I know that face well
I actually had a really weird movement disorder triggered by extreme emotions and I have a eye muscle condition that basically prevents me from rolling my eyes or going cross BUT when my kids basically dropped kicked my last nerve my movement disorder would kick in and my eye like D's dropped halfway and my eyes rolled into back head and I would just wait until I was able to see again but in honor of the potato heads on toy story and I think my most challenging daughter said it best when another kid asked what was wrong with my face:
"Oh, don't worry, she is ok,that's just what happens when we do something so bad her eyes decide they don't want to look at us anymore"
She wasn't wrong, people would accuse of me faking it or lying about not being able to roll my eyes if I could do that but it was 100% involuntary
Sometimes my eye lids would flutter open and closed and I remember once I was telling them again to knock it off before they break something only to watch something fall and shatter,i could feel my eyes fluttering and heard one kid go 'oh no, look at her eyes' and another said 'we need to go to our rooms QUICK!' and then heard them disperse
I was a therapeutic foster parent so they knew I wasn't gonna hurt them BUT I am a master lecturer and they'd rather be spanked then lectured so those darling kids quietly hid in their rooms for hours that day to avoid a lecture
Ofcourse they all listened for mom to leave the area and one darted out of the room to clean the mess up, they didn't throw it away Incase they needed to try and fix it but they didn't want to ask me what to do with it while I was upset either
I don't even remember what broke,I just remember sitting on the toilet that afternoon and not a single kid walking in and thinking 'worth it'
They did apologize but all went to bed without a fight
Rest assured,that one kid I actually birthed moved back in with and just turned 20 and he currently had a bad infection in his ear cause he wouldn't stop messing with it and scratched it and the scratch became infected
So yeah, kids be kids even when they be 20
You know the silly thing is these accusations against Martin might be totally false, but his failure to participate meaningfully in the court process has hampered him at every turn. Martin just can’t seem to grasp that his disagreement with court process is meaningless, his demands won’t be met, and he can’t direct or bully the court etc ..
Probation is easy don’t get into trouble. I was on probation for a year I forgot I was on it until I letter in the mail to say I was done
That really is a very good song.
Sovereign citizens 0 the Courts Infinity 😂
Still using the jurisdiction argument while sitting in jail 😂 Mr Martin is one special defendant
Still living with mommy at his age 😂
Dont mess with Officer Dickler!
