Thanks for update.

I think some convict in NJ used the Moor hustle to either beat a charge or reduced sentence..and now lot of people with heavy charges try to use it. The defense is along the lines of claiming status similar to that of "technically" sovereign native american groups ....and that you are not subject to the rules of the constitution or united states codes or I guess state codes.
