John Washington III Announces an Investigation Into the Right to Travel and Driver's Licenses

John Washington III, a candidate for president in 2028, announced that John Washington III will launch an independent investigation into the people's right to travel, asking whether operating a private vehicle on public roads is part of that right or whether government may require permission through driver's licenses and other regulations. "The question is simple: Is operating your own private vehicle on public roads part of the people's unalienable right to travel, or does the government have the constitutional authority to require permission through driver's licenses and other regulations?" John Washington III wrote.

John Washington III said the investigation will examine the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, Supreme Court decisions, and the laws that every state has created to regulate the movement of the American people. John Washington III also said the investigation will examine how much money state and local governments have collected through traffic citations, fines, fees, and other penalties associated with these laws. "The government was created to protect the rights of the people, not to violate them for financial gain," John Washington III wrote.

John Washington III said that if the investigation uncovers unconstitutional laws, unlawful arrests, illegal detentions, or financial penalties imposed in violation of constitutional rights, John Washington III will demand accountability, with every state government, law enforcement agency, and public official responsible for proven constitutional violations held accountable through the appropriate legal process. John Washington III described the investigation as being about facts, constitutional authority, and government accountability. "THE CONSTITUTION COMES FIRST. THE PEOPLE COME FIRST. AND NO GOVERNMENT IS ABOVE THE LAW!" John Washington III wrote.
