EPISODE 57 | Pseudolaw: Cabbages & Kings

The law is complicated, or maybe it isn't. Maybe there are secrets that the clever can tease out to their advantage. Did you know the government opens a secret bank account for you when you're born? Or using ALL CAPS when writing documents absolves you from legal responsibilities? That juries are illegal? And the highest law in the land is the local sheriff, or the Navy or maybe the post office. Welcome to the convoluted world of pseudolaw, where nonsense is packaged as the real deal, which some people fall for and others make a tidy profit from.
