Cops, out of pure arrogance, tell citizens that citizens don't know the law. The truth is most cops don't know the law any better than the citizen. And the most dangerous “person” is the cop who thinks they know the law.
Any cop trying to apply Admiralty and Maritime law (United States v. Hernandez, 715 f2d. 548) on the land proves the above adage.
Yes, United States v. Hernandez is an Admiralty and Maritime case. The so called bad guys were seized in international waters. Hence, the statement: “Since the appellants' arrest occurred approximately twenty-five miles off the coast, we cannot apply Florida law; we must apply federal law. Where, as here, however, there is no specific federal law to govern this situation, a federal court may resort to and apply the common law.”
In other words, there is no specific federal law dealing with an international law violation.
This case has no application within the territorial boarders of any state or the United States.
