Demand Judge Crawford recuse herself or be fired!

I was pulled over for a minor traffic matter in Richmond County, North Carolina. What should have been a routine citation escalated into a coercive and intimidating court process that stripped me of basic constitutional protections and subjected me to an unlawful administrative enforcement scheme.

The proceeding took place inside a State of North Carolina Article I administrative court, which operates under legislative and executive authority yet presents itself as a court of record with criminal jurisdiction, even though true criminal jurisdiction requiring a real injured party exists only in Article III courts. No sworn accuser, no verified injured party, no affidavit of harm, and no lawful claimant were ever produced.

I am not a corporate fiction or state-created entity. I am a living man, accountable to God and bound only by higher law, not administrative presumptions. I did not consent to statutory jurisdiction, nor did I waive my rights. Yet I was threatened with jail, license suspension, and financial penalties without jurisdiction, without standing, and without lawful cause.

When I challenged jurisdiction, standing, and accounting, my objections were ignored, suppressed, and cut off. I was denied access to a lawful record for appeal. This is a direct violation of:

• Due Process — U.S. Const. amends. V & XIV

• Right to Confront Accuser — U.S. Const. amend. VI

• Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law — 42 U.S.C. § 1983; 18 U.S.C. § 242

• Conspiracy Against Rights — 18 U.S.C. § 241

Most disturbing: the presiding judge entered a plea on my behalf without my consent while I was expressly contesting jurisdiction and refusing to plead. By doing so, she acted as both judge and attorney, violating neutrality, self-representation, and the separation of roles fundamental to due process.

This court did not act as a tribunal of justice. It operated as an administrative revenue enforcement venue, routing alleged obligations into downstream collection and license enforcement systems without transparency or lawful accounting. My identifying information was used to create enforceable financial instruments and compliance obligations, forming an unlawful coercive pipeline.

I have since learned this is not isolated. A public petition from 2019 shows that other families raised the same concerns about this judge. Their warnings were ignored. Now the same patterns are repeating.

This is not about one ticket.

This is about a system that substitutes coercion for law, revenue for justice, and force for consent.

WHY THIS MATTERS

When courts:

• proceed without verified standing,

• suppress jurisdictional objections,

• coerce compliance through threats,

• deny access to lawful records,

• and manufacture obligations through administrative accounting,

they stop functioning as courts of justice and become instruments of control.

No man should be punished first and allowed to seek justice later.

No judge should act as prosecutor, defense counsel, and adjudicator.

No community should tolerate a system that operates without accountability.

WHAT WE ARE DEMANDING:

1. An independent investigation into Judge Sophia Marie Gatewood Crawford and the Richmond County court.
2. Public release of findings by the Judicial Standards Commission.
3. Immediate removal from enforcement proceedings pending investigation.
4. Mandatory verified complaints, standing, and transparent accounting before enforcement.
5. Community oversight and whistleblower protections.

OUR MESSAGE:

This is bigger than one case.

This is about restoring law, dignity, and truth in our courts.

If this has happened to you, your family, or your community — your voice matters.

Sign. Share. Demand accountability. Thank You & God Bliss you & Peace Love & Light to you all 🙏🏾
