If I put a dent in the bonnet of a police car, I would be committing harm and loss and would therefore be subject to the law, and rightfully so.Well you kicked off with this:
Which is also complete and utter nonsense.
The idea that you can simply decide whether you’re a person or not, and therefore decide whether you consent to the laws of the jurisdiction you’re in, is just … nothing. It’s not a thing.
If you’re in the jurisdiction the laws apply to you. Test it out if you like. Go put a dent in the bonnet of a police and then tell them you’re a living person of substance and don’t consent to the laws against criminal damage. See what happens.
If I were presented with a parking ticket, where no harm or loss was caused, I would conditionally accept that offer to contract upon proof that the offerer had jurisdiction over a living man.
